 Can't go wrong for the $$$ February 8, 2009

It seems that this little stereo has gotten a lot of flack and I'm not sure why. I've been really happy with it, and so has my co-worker (who also has her own). It's not an expensive unit, so of course the sound is not going to be absolutely phenomenal, but it's perfectly good. It's a compact size, which was what I needed due to the size of my child's nursery (where we use it). I did a lot of research before buying this and it was hard to find something this small that had all of the features and sound quality, without spending a lot more money. My favorite feature is the sleep timer, so it automatically turns off at the time I set it for. As for how it reads CDs, I'm not sure why reviews say it doesn't take burned discs, because mine easily does. I haven't had any problems with it not reading anything. Last, but not least, this unit has an attractive/simple design. Once again, for the money (it was on sale for $40), you can't go wrong with this item.
A great player to stick on your desk... June 27, 2009

I work at home and have a boom box on my desk to listen to the radio, CD's, and the occasional cassette. I spend at least eight hours a day here, so what I listen to is very important to me. About once every five years, my old boom box dies (in this case, the CD player stopped working). Because of the switch to mp3's, there isn't as much choice out there as there used to be for an AM FM, cassette, CD unit. Last week, I purchased the CFD-OS1, and it is better than the five year old Philips unit it replaced. I've tried every feature on it and they all work great. It looks great, takes up very little space on my desk, delivers great AM FM reception to my house in San Francisco, and has a bright cheerful sound. Of course it doesn't boom out bass, it's not supposed to. As long as you understand what this unit is supposed to do, you will be extremely happy with it. I thought maybe I might decide to get a Bose desk unit this time, but I decided to save the extra $450 for something else. This was a great $50 investment.
Great bargain in small portable digital Radio/CD Player February 5, 2007

Sony has packed a lot into a very small and inexpensive package in the CFD-S01. It has full digital tuning and volume control with memory. The FM sensitivity is very good and the sound is clear and sharp. True, it doesn't have a lot of bass, but then it is a light-weight portable. Producing a lot of bass takes a lot of power and drains battery life. So it is a decision you have to make: do you want lots of bass or long battery life? You can't have both. This little portable will last all week on a set of batteries and it sounds great!
Underrated little underdog February 21, 2008

I just did a blindfolded comparison between this (friend had it, bought on sale at Target for $30) and the much-lauded sony cfd-e100 - which I just ordered from amazon and am going to have to return! - and there's NO question this is the better player. It won the Bach, Beck, and Bob (Dylan) tests hands down. This one has a clearer, bigger, not-at-all tinny sound for different kinds of music. I may still take my chances with the sony cfd -350, but I may just get this one. It's a perfectly good player, seems sturdy and isn't too ugly or unwieldy (and my friend's has been alive for a while now). Don't listen to the negative reviews! It deserves its five stars because the other doesn't deserve ITS stars, and because it will not disappoint for the cost.

Perfect for what I want it for.........my sewing, computer,relaxing room......also great on the deck in warm weather. It could have a deeper bass sound but for what it costs, it does the job.
