August MB300 Mini Picket MP3 Stereo System and FM Clock Radio, with Card Reader, USB Port & AUX Jack (3.5mm Audio in), 2 x 3W Highly effective Hello-Fi Audio system and Constructed-in Rechargeable Battery (Black)

I’m in LOVE!!
I’ve ordered many things from Amazon and the degree of satisfaction has been “normal” to say the least. I saw this product and what initially caught my eye was the design especially the simulated wood. I then read reviews from other customers and many were positive. That’s what led me to order this. When it arrived, I was surprised at how small it was – it can fit in the palm of your hand – and thought that the sound it produced wouldn’t be sufficient for a person like me who considers himself a “half-way” audiophile. I inserted batteries, and loaded some music onto the Sandisk Cruzer Fit which I also ordered along with this. I then inserted it into the usb slot on the side of the unit. Let me just add that I’m the type who usually hardly reads any type of manual, I just dive head-first into a product and this was one. I thought I had ordered a defective product because I couldn’t get the radio to play nor the music on the Cruzer to play – until I read the instruction manual. To say that I was pleasantly surprised at the MANY features of this small unit is an understatement. I still amazed at how the crammed so much into so little. The two speakers are crystal clear to be small and they put out just the right sound without any distortion. What was really surprising to me is that there is an internal rechargeable battery that will give you 5 hours of playback without th3 unit even being plugged into an ac outlet. That means you can take this little beauty anywhere you go. There are three means of playing music, the fm radio, the usb thumb drive mounted on the right side near the rear, and also an SD card reader mounted on the top of the unit. The latter two made me really embrace this unit because of I already own a few of those – as seen in pic – so I can load them all up with music and just switch them as needed. What I wish the company had done was allow for a larger capacity thumb drive than the minimum of 8gb which I think I saw somewhere in the manual. The thing with that is, I ordered a 16gb Cruzer and it works in the unit, but I have to keep pressing play before the unit recognizes it. I don’t think this any fault of the unit itself, but my choice of a larger capacity Cruzer, one that isn’t really compatible with the unit yet STILL works.This thing does so much. It has a room thermometer, fm radio, THREE ways to play music, an alarm clock, a backlight, a cable you can use to connect a laptop, phone, or tablet via the headphone jack of each which then gives you the ability to use it as an external speaker. Now how cool is THAT? The included remote is the icing on the cake. I can charge the unit up, unplug it place it anywhere and then use the remote to operate it. I can’t think of anything that makes me want to regret purchasing this item, everything is perfect and I’ll definitely be ordering two or three more of these in the future. I want to make sure that I always have one available. My hats off to the company who made this. You really made my day and my shopping experience with Amazon even MORE worthwhile. If this is just an example of what you all can present, I’ll be looking for more products. American companies, take note. This is how it’s supposed to be done. Beautiful product, feature packed, and at an affordable price. You can’t beat that with a baseball bat.

Decent clock radio for the money
For the money this thing is feature packed. It’ll play MP3s from an aux input, off a thumb drive or off a memory card. It also puts out A LOT of sound for a little cube. You can even have it wake you up to a favorite MP3 (or buzzer or radio). Couple of complaints that knocked a star off:- The interface is pretty bad when taken as a whole. For example, you have to read the manual repeatedly to remember how to access certain functions like setting a particular MP3 as a wake up song. Even as I write this I can’t remember how to do it because it requires pressing a series of buttons that don’t seem to relate. The remote helps with some of the interface missteps, but not all.- You can’t control the volume of the wake up – and it’s LOUD. This kind of sucks in my son’s room where he needs to get up earlier than his brother.- It doesn’t read ID info from media files. You have no idea where you are when playing MP3s because all you see is “1”, “2”, “3”, etc. depending on which track it’s on sequentially on the disk. And this is for however many songs you put on a thumb drive or memory stick. If you have 206 songs on a thumb drive, you just have to know that you’re looking for song 58.- The back light only comes on when you push a button. You can press any button to activate it, but this is problematic if you want to know what time it is in the middle of the night. You can’t see the LCD display in the dark and if you do have to turn on the light it is BRIGHT and will blind you. It’d be nice if there was a consistent “night” mode light so you could see the time in the dark.Generally, my kids love these things. The build quality is good, they put out a ton of sound, and there’s a bunch of ways to get music into it.

Por su tamaño es muy cómodo: igual lo tengo en la cocina que me lo llevo a la habitación como despertador. El sonido es bastante bueno. Además, una vez lo has cargado, no lo tienes que tener conectado a la red y dura bastante la carga.
