JVC UX-GP5
$150.00
Released April, 2008
The Pros:Intriguing, feature-rich design - daily timers, dim levels and auto-standby modes set the unit apart from stripped-down competitors. Bundled speakers can be easily replaced - ideal for upgrading sound quality or fixing broken components without needing full replacement. CD drive is very quiet - excellent option for users who enjoy playing quiet, ambient music throughout the evening.
The Cons:Overall sound outputting is fairly thin/unfocused - boomy bass levels and flat high-end result in a total loss of clarity. Stock speakers drastically reduce sound quality - many users will want to replace these with higher-quality components.
The JVC UX-GP5 is nearly identical to its less expensive cousin, the JVC UX-G28. One difference it does have is a "Flip Dock" for the iPod, preset timers, the JVC "Sound Turbo", more power, surround mode, and a digital tuner.
