Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Onkyo CBX-300 CD Receiver SystemCustomer Review: Solid Well Designed iPod Player Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this item because I was looking for a multi-function iPod player with decent sound that I could sometimes use as an alarm clock. This was the cheapest of the bunch and I've used and liked Onkyo products in the past.
I offer only one cautionary note. Don't even think that this item will replace your home stereo. No portable iPod player will do that. You can only pack so much sound quality in a portable box plus the iPod music files often are 128 mp3s, which don't come close to having decent fidelity. That said, the sound here is more than adequate for listening in a bedroom.
Overall, this is a well designed box and the remote is easy to use. I've put my old 3G iPod in the dock as well as my iPod Touch and they both work fine. Onkyo states up front that the video out on this model is not compatible with iPod Touch videos, but the audio is completely compatible. The ability to play mp3s from a CD is also a nice feature. There are more expensive devices like this out there. I have no idea why you'd spend the extra bucks to buy one. This item is definitely a best buy.
*Note. The week after I wrote this review the price for this item went up 50 percent. It's still a solid piece of equipment, but I would not have bought it at the new price.
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.
