Not a bad sounding system, loud enough for me. However the three things that i dont like about the system are, 1] you can only adjust the volume when using the remote for your ipod, you cannot foward or reverse to different tracks, via your remote. 2] they didnt even put a mute button on the remote either.3] there are all kinds of functions for a cd, but it only lets you play 1 cd at a time. Bad desingn, you would think for the money they would make the controller more compatable with your ipad!!!!

Good sound

This stereo has excellent sound the only thing I really don't like about it is the only input is PC so I had to hook my stereo to it using a 1/8" to RCA adapter. My bad for not checking that but I never would have guessed that they would have removed inoputs from the stereo. Very easy to use and sounds great. One last note. The speaker hookup is plug in which is good for people that have trouble with the loose wire hookup. It has Left, right and sub

Excellent stereo system. It's easy to set up and use, and has a lot of great features including, CD player, IPod dock, PC connection, and AM/FM radio. Gets great reception! The sound is very high def and blows most other shelf systems out of the water. Even on low volume you feel the satisfaction of the "boom" the subwoofer gives and the beautiful clarity of the speakers. Highly recommended!

Review 6 for Sony MHC-EC909iP Mini Hi-fi Music Shelf System

Good overall but a couple issues

I purchased this unit because it had the docking station connected. I expected the docking station to be more stable but it seems to me that it could break off easily. Also, I expected that it would be more like some Sony products I purchased in the past since it was 100 bucks more than their standard shelf system but I found no way to adjust the sub woofer levels. it is either on or off. It does have good sound and gets pretty loud but I also expected it to get a bit louder than it does. The system likes to rattle if what you are playing gets a little bumpin. One thing I really liked was the fact that you only have a few wires to connect. The subwoofer just has one wire and does not need its own power supply. overall, I enjoy the unit. I think it would have been better priced around 150.00 and not 200.

GREAT RADIO FOR THE PRICE

I have a friend that owns this radio and decided to own one myself. Great sound. I like that you can plug your phone / TV / or other source into this radio. My son also likes to be able to play his IPOD through the charging dock--one drawback on this is if your IPOD is in a case (which most who own one, have them in a case) it will not connect properly to the radio as the case gets in the way of a proper connection so you constantly have to take the IPOD in and out of the case, which is frustrating. To avoid this, I just play the IPOD through the input jack (as I do for the other items), you just can't use the remote to control the IPOD or charge it. Plenty of sound to fill up the room!

I was pleasantly surprised with the performance and output of this system. I mean for the price it's by far the best thing out there in my opinion.The only thing i was disappointed about this was the length of the spraker wires and the back connections. I thought i could hook-up another pair of speakers or @ the least spread the speakers further apart. Other than that i'm a very satisfied customer.. Thanks Wal-mart...

My mother bought this for me for Christmas because she knows how much i love music. The sound quality is awesome and and this product isn't very expensive. It is worth the money spent on it if you love music or know someone who loves music.

Joke of a CD player!

Sound on this stereo is pretty decent, but it hardly plays CDs. It does horrible with CD-RWs, especially on shuffle which is a feature I really wanted as mp3 cds are always in alphabetical order. It might play a song here and there before you have to get up and mess with it to get it to play another song and it takes FOREVER to read CD-RWs. I did not buy this for the iPod dock, I bought it for the CD player so I am very disappointed.

I brought this stereo for my baby, we had a older version of sony shelf stereo everything went out but the radio we had it for a while. We love sony products they have great systems!! The only things we would probably like for them to change about this particular model is the speakers..if you want some base you have to turn on the subwoofer. Other wise it is worth the buy and we would recommend it to anyone.

This sound system is great, it bumps my whole apartment. i would definitely recomend it to anyone who asks. the only reason that i gave it 4 of 5 on expectations is because i can play it on max volume easily, i would like it to be a little louder, but besides that, the bass is amazing. i am a huge bass fan and this system definitely delivers. i can play any genre and still be impressed.

Best buy considering it came from Walmart

I got this stereo for my basement area where I workout (1/30/12). I needed a stereo that can play loud enough for me to get in a jammin mood to exercise. This stereo does jus that..the sound is amazingly loud (jus how I love it) my boyfriend tells me that its too loud..lol..but not for me. I live in a single family three story home and u can feel the music on the top level...love it..I was gettin tired of my over the head headphones while working out, the cords kept gettin in my way, also ear buds never stay in my ear (since I sweat like a man most times)...
Before purchasing, I read the reviews first, most complaints were about the speaker wires being way too short..this is true...however, it doesn't cost much more to purchase some wire to splice them (once doin so, there's no returning the product back to Walmart)..I've done jus that and I now have my speakers on the wall..now, my boyfriend says that I spend too much time down in the basement...lol..and it's only been one week :)
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM TO BE PURCHASED ONLINE (cheaper then IN STORE)

Great stereo for a studio or large living room

Great sound on turned up high and great sound everywhere in between. The bass is perfect (even without the option for adjustment. You can power down the subwoofer if needed though. Even with the woofer powered down the speakers alone have great sounding bass to them. I live in a studio above a garage apart from the main house in which my friends live, and they tell me all the time how they can hear the stereo themselves. Clear, good looks, and not too huge. Great buy.

Key Features

really nice stereo unit, excellent quality and sound output, but unit misses some really key features. unit does not have a headphone jack, (it has a 'line in' jack at left front) and unit does play audio mp3 cd's, but unit does not support random play mode; a really 'must have' for playing mp3 cd's, as those cd's are always in alphabetical order. If you want to record anything from the unit to a pc, you can't. These two features constitute 75% of my music playing on this unit, so has to be returned. Otherwise, this is an excellent unit to be purchased, if you do not need these two features.

I bought this system to play music in my garage and it is just about perfect for that. Great bass and volume. Still is fairly compact. The ipod dock seems a little flimsy. That is the reason I rated it 4 instead of 5. For the money, I dont see how I could beat it.
