Product Description
The SC-HC40 with a wall-mountable design will let you choose to place your audio system the way you want, to stylishly match with your room interior. With Bluetooth wireless technology, the SC-HC40 gives you a more convenient experience for wireless connection with your iPod/iPhone or compatible mobile phones in your hand and playing music file on them without docking. Even when listening to music files on your iPhone with the SC-HC40, you can receive phone calls without taking the iPhone out. By pressing a button on the remote or the product, while ringtone, you can talk using the conversation mic and the speakers implemented in the SC-HC40. The call can be switched back to the iPhone by pressing the transfer button and taking the iPhone out of the product. More rigid and lighter bamboo cone material has been adopted for speakers. With the new bamboo cone speakers the sound becomes much more responsive. Vocals are more pure and clearer, and the dialog being crisper and easier to understand than ever before.

 Not Impressed. August 16, 2010

One of the buttons seems to stick down once in awhile after the 3rd use.
Over all the sound is okay.
Radio does not pick-up channels too well versus my other radios that I use to own.(Same spot)
 Serves Its Purpose June 28, 2010

For a CD player with decent sound with an iPod dock for a small to medium sized room, this piece will work. I really like the size of it (very compact, smaller than I thought it would be) and the design of it. It's very sleek and looks great in our living room. The remote control is also better than I would expect for a system of this size. And, considering how strangely difficult it is to find a CD player with an iPod dock at a reasonable price, I'm glad I have this.
I only dock it down a few stars because of the sound. The sound is average. Despite some minimum controls like bass and treble, the unit just doesn't produce a crisp, sharp sound. It can definitely fill a room, which is great, but for true audiophiles and stereo-quality sound, I'd advise to look elsewhere (and probably at a higher priced unit). My wife loves it and thinks it's great. I, however, can tell the sacrifice in sound quality. It's not bad by any means, just a few notches below the best out there.
It's also more difficult than it should be putting in and taking out CDs.
For us, in its particular room, function (size and design) wins out a bit over quality. When I buy a bigger home with multiple rooms, I'll upgrade to a more traditional stereo system.
 Great for the bedroom June 27, 2010

I bought this for the bedroom. It charges my iTouch at night and I get to listen to a little music while the sleep timer shuts it off later. The bluetooth even works to my iTouch if I forget it in the car. It's probably not great if you were looking at it to fill a larger area. While it has a pretty good sound at a regular kind of level, it probably would not perform well enough for a large living room. It is great for the purpose for which it was purchased, my bedroom.

So maybe the packing box is still in my office and I still listening the the first couple of albums, but I'm quite happy so far. The system required a minimum of setup and all of it was intuitive. Ok, maybe I had to skim over the directions for linking and paring it to my Droid, but everything else was a breeze.
The sound is pretty good. I can adjust the simpistic EQ along with the bass and treble to compensate for my upper frequency hearing loss. The volume is enough to rattle the windows and I'll be adding "Inna Gadda Da Vida" to my Droid as an "acid test."
I like this little stereo. I takes very little room, looks clean, and is jammed with feaures--plays CDs, AM/FM, connects to a variety of sources with Bluetooh, and has an I-anything (almost) dock.
Unless it shuts down or blows up within the next couple of years or so, it's a keeper.
