Customer Review

Video at Amazon.com View There are about this plant very many reviews, so I once again created a video where you can personally make an impression of the facility. I show the processing, handling, potential problems and say a little something about the device. Since I so video is always at least as practical personally feel like a longer text review because you just can get an idea itself, I want to share my experience. Should you have any questions, just ask.

Here again a summary of significant aspects:

Features:
The system can play music from a variety of sources. On the one hand it is possible to play CDs. These can be both regular CDs as well as CDs with MP3 or WMA files are. For me there were no problems so far, no matter what format had the CDs. There are so many negative reports which state that the CD player very quickly his mind would have given, I can not confirm. Runs even after several weeks even without any problems.
In addition, you can connect an MP3 player via USB. Playback works without any problems. Unfortunately it is not possible to connect an iPhone via USB and play the music from the device on the system. While there is the facility with an iOS 30pin connector, but devices with Lightning adapter can not connect so precisely. Whether this goes with other smartphone I do not know, but I do not think so.
For this you can play music via an SD card. A feature that I have never used and will probably never use. If we are to trust the test reports here that Speicherkatrten may be 2GB maximum size that is of course very unfortunate, as a music collection of course often slightly larger fails. But as I said I think most likely to use more MP3 CDs or simply USB Sticke. With my 8GB USB Stick, the system had no problems.
In addition, you can play even via radio FM tuner.
This works with the wire antenna very well. The reception is great, you can save a lot of stations easily.
In terms of equipment, the system keeps fully up to its promise.
Wishes I would like considering the possibility of music smartphone via USB connection to play, because the DockConnector connections but slowly going out of fashion, in addition to the possibility to play Internet radio. My favorite radio stations Radio Delta i receive here in Göttingen, for example not, but because the radio goes anyway to Cuxhaven is not a problem;) Otherwise, I really miss anything, and the existing functions keep their promise. Therefore 5/5 points.

Processing:
Price Performance-wise, considered actually exactly what you'd expect, the processing is okay. If you want something much more significant you have to invest more money. The entire system is made of plastic. The two boxes are connected separately and have a very long cable so you can position them well. Both boxing and conditioning devices have to hang on the wall by nail. Is a pity that the connection for the speaker sitting right on the device, so you can not attach directly adjacent to the plant on the wall just the right box. Since, however, in general, the boxes will probably move a little more freely this shortcoming is not so great.
The CD tray moves on with an audible sound and. Otherwise, the CD playback itself is not problematic, the device has already play many hours of music from CD without any problems. A noise can be heard when reading a CD, during playback or even in pause mode
The display is okay. This comical blue which is found on many devices in this price range has a rather weak contrast and just a night can the blue glow VLT. a bit annoying. However, the device has on the one hand a power switch and on the other hand I have while sleeping most eyes.
The feel of the device is okay. The buttons are simple small round knobs that do not particularly excel. Blind operation of the system is very difficult because it would be nice if the buttons were somehow different shaped or at least placed in meaningful groups.
Overall, I find the system but quite nice to look at, beautifully designed and well made. Of course, always in terms of the value for money. To improve and optimize and make sure there would be much fancier, but then you would also have significantly more money. And that's what you do not want so, if you have equipment like this gets. Therefore, there are 4/5 points here.

Sound quality:
This point is for me of which I am doing the most difficult. Here one must also always carry the value for money in mind. For a system with these features in this price range, the sound is really okay. Considering the sound detached from price I would rather him than / average call. There is a lack of precision highs, punchy bass, dynamics and as the atmosphere of a live concert is also difficult to capture. But that's the point: HiFi purists with high demands would never pick a plant, since even a box would probably 5-10x as much cost as here the whole plant.
You just feel like for the kitchen, the office or the garage are a great way to play music from a variety of sources and VLT here. being able to rely on his MP3 collection, then this system is absolutely fine and certainly a good investment. This is confirmed indeed most other reviews. Audiobooks can be for example also very good to hear it. Overall I give the sound 3.5 / 5 points

Conclusion:
Adding my criteria together to Decide on Good 4/5 points, from which the four star result. All the conditioning of the product description ago may want they can. CD playback, MP3 playback whether from CD or flash drive work fine. The build quality is okay, with minor shortcomings and opportunities for improvement but all in all nothing serious. For this, the system stands out because of their design, which is really pretty. It is definitely an eye-catcher. It is great that they are mounted on the wall and you can place the boxes thanks to the long cable is relatively free. The sound is okay, absolutely sufficient for use as a kitchen or garage Radio. In summary, I would say that the price performance ratio absolutely right here and you do with buying anything wrong when you are the points aware of the other reviewers and I have noted critically.
Who this facility At length to the wishes I have fun with it =)

Addendum 04:01:14
I have the plant as announced preferred my mother for Christmas because they wanted to have something for the kitchen. It has unfortunately not fit on the shelf, because the CD tray opens upward since missing about 5cm. But for that she is now on a cabinet and my mother is very excited. Was I then also when I was visiting in her kitchen, the complex has a really great sound. The system as well as almost daily use, whenever my mother cooks running either the radio or a CD. Accordingly, I can also the problems that the CD player quickly gives up the ghost, not confirmed. My Ma was very happy about the gift and it confirmed my impression that the dual 150 an ideal system for the kitchen is when you do not want to spend quite so much money.
