Sony CMT-BX50BTi
$179.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Bluetooth pairing is easy to configure and very reliable - stored content and internet radio streaming are provided with little to no latency. Compact design fits comfortably within a cabinet or bookshelf display - ideal for providing ambient room entertainment without occupying a large footprint. Overall sound quality is excellent - frequency range is clear and balanced amongst radio, CD and mp3 player content alike.
The Cons:Matte/gloss black finish makes labels and button prompts difficult to read - new users may require a flashlight each time they operate the unit. Lacks a dedicated mute button - puts unit at an extreme disadvantage as compared to similar models at or below the price point.
Sony stretches there mini shelf system to mid-level with the CMT-BX50BTi. Essentially, this is a unit built around an iPod docking system. Sony’s lower end mini systems do not come equipped with iPod playback but in the CMT-BX50BTi this feature is integrated for connect and play simplicity.
