Sony DAB Micro System - £49.99 & 15% off all home cinema & home audio @ Comet

[strangerer]

Just picked one of these up from Comet (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=157&id=30372&p=http://www.comet.co.uk/cometbrowse/category.do?categoryId=284&cm_ven=Affiliatewindow&cm_cat=Affiliate&cm_pla=Affiliate&cm_ite=Affiliate)

I've been after a budget system for a while with all these features and this seems to tick all my boxes.

DAB radio
CD with MP3 playback
Line in for MP3 players.
Even has a cassette player should you need it.

Here is the same model at
Amazon (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000HBG632/thedvdforums-21)

Same price in store and online

Went in store to try it myself and not really impressed tbh. Good for the money but you get what you pay for I guess.

[DM]

What was the sound like?

[Jimmyboy]

What was the sound like?

Tinny, under powered, and distorted at mid to high volume, made worse by the fact that at 10w it doesn't really go that loud without straining anyway. Probably good to have in your garage or out in the garden when you're outside but I wouldn't use it as a main system.

[marky_h]

Ta OP - will have a look tomorrow, and mebbe pick one up for the kitchen at that price :thumbs:

[Don King]

Yes great work had just ordered the one from Amazon this evening. Canceled it got that one. Just saved me £50. Cheers Strangerer :clap::clap:

[strangerer]

What was the sound like?
Mine's set up in the kitchen this evening and I think it sounds great. I would have spent more on a main system, but it's a vast improvement on my portable FM radio. First time I've used DAB and it's crystal clear.

[fabbers]

Reserved one for pickup, cheers op

[Munas]

Just ordered one. Cheers OP.

[Jonnyrepp]

£94.99 now :(

[Alan b]

A supplier issue now..

Moving

[strangerer]

£94.99 now :(


Blimey that didn't last long. It was priced at £49.99 on the shelf in store so it may be worth a look this morning if someone still wants one.

[gregh]

cheers OP, got one last night, that's one of Xmas pressies sorted then :D

[fabbers]

Anyone reckon they'll honour the price i reserved it at last night? Won't be able to go till this evening :(

[UkMark]

I reserved one last night for the price of £42.49 and I collected this morning without any problems but I would take in your printed confirmation with you. It rang through the til for £99.99 but the member of staff adjusted to the reduced price

Im very please with the sound & Price

Many thanks to the Op

[Flyer]

Reserved one for my Dad & I each last night, went in this morning & picked 'em both up. I forgot to use the 15% code on one of the reservations & cheekily asked if the lady on the till could apply the code to both orders, bless her she did. Got both for £42.49 each! Thanks OP & to the lady on the till, won't say who or where for fear of landing her in it!:thumbs:

That also answers my second question as to whether they honour the online discount as well :thumbs:

[marky_h]

Just collected mine from the Guildford branch, no problems with price. Ta again strangerer!

[thebigwoooo]

Collected mine yesterday. There was a bit of a faff whilst the staff checked whether i could have it for the bargain price, but got it in the end, thx op.

[fabbers]

Yeah got mine last night, no problem with the price or discount. The staff were a bit shocked at the price but didn't cause a fuss. £42.50 bargainlicious cheers again OP :thumbs:

[Munas]

Got mine yesterday. Bit annoyed that theres no AM radio on it. But other than that, I'm impressed.

[strangerer]

Looks like it's back on sale. Be quick.

Maybe this could be put back in the Bargain section?

[Alan b]

Moving..

[gingertom]

It has been excluded form the 15% offer

Where does it mention the Line in for MP3 players?

I don't think it is mentioned but I have one and it is on the front. If you look at the picture, then select the Zoom option you can see the Audio In Socket.

[McMikey]

Just reserved one to pick up tomorrow. It's going to be for the kitchen so should be good enough. Thanks for the heads up.

[goldwater]

Seems to have gone again. Not available for store pickup anywhere in the world.

Was on the website last night but now has been removed.

I am sure I caught a glimpse of this being advertised on TV over the weekend.

They have got a cheek!

[McMikey]

They had them in Stock in Stockport yesterday and a poster on the outside advertising the fact. Think it did say this weekend only though.

[Ste7en]

I stumbled across this yesterday. I was disgusted that I couldn't order because:

none were available locally, and

I couldn't have one delivered because 'none were available locally'

WTF? If I'm willing to pay shipping what does it matter where it comes from?

[Ste7en]

Well, after ringing them for five consecutive days to be told "Try again tomorrow as we are showing stock en-route to your local branch" I've been told "Sorry, it's a discontinued line. We don't stock it"

After a bit of moaning and asking them for some money towards my telephone bill I give up.

Maggots! I hope they go bust :D

[ianmb]

Also available in Currys and PC World for £49.99. I ordered one from Currys on Wed for home delivery.

Reserved one :D

Wife came in with it from work. It's for our daughter, it's her birthday soon.

Thanks again for the heads up!

[springer]

£59.99 at PC World, 10p cheaper at Argos

[CrumpetMan]

can't find this anywhere now for that price. Does anyone know of a similar spec system for around £50? Need CD with MP3, radio (preferably DAB) and definitely line/phone in to connect an MP3 player.

Thanks for looking but that one doesn't seem to do MP3 playback or have line in and the power looks a little low (2 x 3 watts RMS)

[CrumpetMan]

Thanks for pointing it out to me. I ended up getting one of these:

for about £75 after discounts.

[planetf1]
