Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Onkyo CBX-300 CD Receiver SystemCustomer Review: Very Disappointed Summary: 1 Stars
First of all let me tell you that I am not an audiophile. However, I do appreciate quality. I purchased this product under this premise.
The reason that I sought this product out was to play music in my office at work. Nothing too fancy. I have listened to Onkyo speakers/receivers in the past and have really been a supporter of the Onkyo brand. I have always thought they have been synonomous with quality and performance. Again, I purchased this product under this premise.
I set this radio up with no problem at all. Just plug and play. However, I noticed that it was constructed of a cheap-looking plastic to which I did not pay too much attention. I turned the radio on first to see how it sounded. IT SOUNDED AWFUL! I thought it theoretically could be the reception (I have never had a problem before with any radio). I tried different locations and stations to no avail.
Next, I tried the Ipod. This sounded a little bit better but the sound was not crisp. Also, the bass was almost non-existent. It sounded remarkably average, if that. If I had paid $50 for the this I would not have been disappointed. But I paid $200 for it. So needless to say I am very disappointed.
If you have another $150 to spend get the Polk I Sonic 2. If not, go out and buy another similar radio for about $100 less. You will be just as happy and $100 richer. I would not recommend this at $200. I would pay no more than $100 for this product. I am very disappointed that Onkyo would allow a product like this to have their name attached to such an average to poor product. I really like the Onkyo brand, but will second guess any purchase I make with them again.
Amazon was great and got the product to me very quickly. Thank Amazon!
Description of Onkyo CBX-300 CD Receiver SystemThe second-generation CBX-300 CD receiver system is a rewarding blend of style, direct iPod integration and superb music performance. As with its predecessor, the focus has been on providing an accomplished mix of CD, MP3, WMA, iPod, and radio playback. It sports a black saran net across the entire frontage, giving it greater appeal wherever you decide to place it--in your bedroom, living room, kitchen or office. The CBX-300's construction supports exemplary audio fidelity, especially for the low-end frequencies. The design also incorporates speaker developments such as Onkyo's own OMF (Onkyo Micro Fiber) diaphragms and Aero Acoustic Drive--technology you'll find in some of Onkyo's separate speakers.
