The Reviews
Introduction
I bought the XDR-S50 because I was looking for an item to replace my FM Clock Radio. I like to go to sleep whilst listening to the radio
and I got a little annoyed with the quality of my original FM Radio. I was looking for something else, clarity. Thats why I chose to change
to Digital.
About
I bought the item for ?59.99 from Comet, and there was another Panasonic radio for the same price. The panasonic however was far greater and the
audio output was 3 times greater for the sound. This however, did not meet my needs as I was looking for a small radio which would fit nicely
on my bedside table, look smart, and do it's job. The XD5-S50 certainly does this.
Sound Output
In short, not good. You could in no way call this radio 'loud', outputting a measly 0.3 Watt sound. This does however suit my needs as I only listen to the radio quietly. If you are looking for a louder radio I suggest looking at Pure, Roberts or another greater Sony machine.
To buy or not to buy
It really depends on what you're looking for. If you wish to get a clock radio to go to sleep with then this is for you. If you are looking for a radio which pumps out some loud tunes then I most definitely discourage you from buying this. It suits my needs perfectly however, so I am quite pleased with it. In terms of build, it looks and feels nice. The buttons are all easy to use and it is fairly straight forward.
