Customer Reviews:

Can't believe Aiwa put their name on this piece of junk!.......2007-08-20

Has neither auto-reverse nor auto-stop. Has cheap, tinny sound. No button to open the cassette door, you must pull it open manually, like much cheaper recorders. I have only been able to run it on batteries: it requires an 120 VAC to 6 VDC adaptor, but it came with a 230 VAC adaptor, obviously not intended for sale in the U.S. I reported the problem to the vendor, who promised to send the proper adaptor in a few days, but several weeks later I am still waiting and they aren't answering my messages.

Not as Advertised!.......2003-01-31

This cassette player does not have auto-reverse, as the copy says it does.

Small Box But Great Sound.......2002-06-20

In my experience AIWA makes boomboxes, cd players and walkmen with excellent sound quality. I have an AIWA "Q Sound" boombox I purchased almost four years ago. It sounds just a good as it did the day I bought it. The Q Sound element gives a whole new flavor to the audio. It really does add a third dimension to what you hear. At this price the boombox is a bargain.

The Aiwa CSD-ED67 is a CD radio cassette recorder with digital tuner. PRODUCT FEATURES: Digital Synthesizer Tuner (AM/FM) with 30-Station Preset Memory; 2.5 Watts per Channel Output Power; Auto Reverse; Q Sound; Bass Reflex Speakers; Remote Control; 3-Preset Equalizer (Rock/Pop/Jazz); 30-Track Program Memory; Bass Boost.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Aiwa CSD-ED67 AM/FM/CD/cassette boombox packs a considerable amount of features and options into an attractive, portable stereo system. You can take it anywhere and listen to your favorite music or make quality recordings of CDs. You can even tape your meetings, thanks to the V-Sensor and NFR (Noise Filtration Recording), which reduce background noise and enhance the frequency of the human voice. The flashing record indicator will let you know for sure that the unit is taping.

Spacious, dynamic sound is a main highlight of the Aiwa CSD-ED67. Two upward-firing front surround speakers are housed on top of two normal front-facing bass reflex speakers. The sound from these additional speakers is reflected and slightly delayed before reaching your ears, giving an impressive surround sound effect with enhanced presence and depth. Q Sound, a signal processing circuit, creates a virtual sound stage and enhances the width, height, and depth of your recordings. Combined with more standard features, like Super Bass options and a three-preset graphic equalizer, Q Sound presents listeners with a wide range of sound options.

For users on the go, the three-point battery-life indicator gives plenty of notice before the batteries run out. And the electronic antishock system will prevent mistracking when you are in motion. For privacy, neckband headphones are included with the Aiwa CSD-ED67.

great cd player.......2006-10-22

Right now I am currently looking for a replacement for my aiwa. It has served me faithfully for nearly ten years now and the control buttons are starting to go. I am looking for another aiwa because the quality of their cd players are so good, and other cd players just can't measure up. I have never had any problems with it skipping cds or eating cassete tapes like I have had with other stereos. You can't go wrong with this cd player.

Been runningstrong for over 2 years--great indoor unit........2002-03-09

I bought one of these for myself about 2 1/2 years ago. It's an attractive, rugged and lightweight unit. My kid's kept stealing it so I finally broke down and bought each one of them one of their own. All three have worked flawlessly for over 2 years despite being moved around a lot.

The base is a bit weak, but other than that the sound quality is excellent. Radio reception is excellent as well.

What I really like about it, however, is that the volume is well regulated. It's not that you can't play it loud--you can. But it does stop well short of deafening.

This makes it an ideal indoor unit. Loud enough to play while taking a shower without letting the whole neighborhood know what you are listening to.

On the whole, a tremendous value for the money.

Still Working Good.......2001-08-16

Ever since we Bought this like 2 years ago its till working great. its a great stereo for the money but if your looking for somthing to pump out bass and somthing pretty loud try a biger stereo cause this one is a little quieter than some other boomboxes its size, but still a great deal

nice little unit.......2000-05-28

I bought two of these units thinking as a gift for an elderly parent it would be nice and I needed something for my workroom. I was realy impressed with the features and the well intergrated sound. Getting a remote for so little is amazing but getting auto reverse on a good sounding tape deck as well as many other features made this one of the best buys I made this year. Mom loves it and so do I. It is not terribly powerful but sounds great. The combination of features as well as portability make this a great little stereo system for travel a kids room or in my case my office.

Incomparable value at the price.......2000-05-03

Aiwa products have long been known for their clarity of sound and quality construction. This unit is no exception.

The CSD-ED67 provides big system sound in a compact but sturdily built unit. The Q-sound feature gives a very passable simulation of surround sound and, combined with the quality full-range speakers, delivers rich, clean musical and vocal tones. The three pre-set EQ choices are distinctly different and do work well in emphasizing specific frequency ranges for your chosen musical style.

As with most Aiwa units, the sound is more precise than powerful. If you are looking for straight, wall-shaking noise, this unit may not give you what you want. However, if you want pure, sweet tones and distinct separation of vocals and instruments, the CSD-ED67 is up to the task.

This unit does a good job of recording to cassette; however, most of the more advanced functions (specifically, programmability) are accessed through the remote, which can be a bit inconvenient.

Nonetheless, this unit is a remarkable value and provides the buyer with a bargain basement opportunity to enjoy the wonderful world of Aiwa stereo systems. At this price, you simply can't go wrong.

A High Quality Boom Box.......2001-11-21

I recived the Aiwa CSDFD81 last year on my birthday, so i was not aware of the price. I thought this was an expensive boombox. I was mistaken. This boombox has a lot of features and has an extremly high quality for the price. First this boombox can play every cd format: cd, cd-r, and cd-rw. Which is very nice if you are into MP3 swaping. You also have the standard repeat and program features but you can also repeat only one song with a touch of a button. If you put the cd into the player before you turn it on and then press the cd power button it will play the cd automaticly. It has a digital tunner built in and allows you to store up to 12 stations (i have yet to use all 12 spots). You can recall these stations with the play button or with the nifty remote that comes with the system by punching in the numbers. The tape player is nice too, it senses when there is no tape in the player so if you accdently pushed one of the buttons unknowingly it will shut off the tape player for you so you don't waste energy.The system has a three mode EQ(rock, Pop, and Jazz) that you can control from the button on the system or on the remote. It has a Digital Bass Boost that can also be controled from both the remote and the system. The only thing that can't be controled from the remote is the Q-sound. Q-sound is a great feature turns on the two other speakers that are smaller thats really all i know about Q-Sound from a technical point of view. i have yet to find a song that sounds better with Q-Sound, the only thing i do with it is kareoky (i think thats how it is spelled!)because it makes the music and backround vocals louder then the singer. This system has a sleep timer also. The speakers work great. There is no distortion at maximum volume even with hard rock music playing on it. I had a gig at my school to dj and this was my first time djing so i had no equipment so i tried to find a power speaker that i could use to connect to my boom box. I could not find one so i decided to make do with the boombox itself. That little thing was more then enough. We had about 20-30 people and the music was still heard clearly by everyone. It was louder then the other boombox (which had bigger speakers) i was using also. This boombox is a great deal. You get so much for so little money. I am still impressed by this thing and i think you will be too.

Faulty Headphone Jack and Poor Customer Service.......2000-08-15

The product looked nice, but after using the system for a couple of months the headphone jack became loose and affected the sound (after that, I would need to press my thumb against the headphone jack so that the sound wouldn't break-up).

In addition, navigating through AIWA's customer service is almost as bad as dealing with the IRS. It makes their warranty practically worthless.

In my experience, the AIWA products I've owned (one shelf system, and one portable tape player) have functionally lasted about a year or less. Save yourself some money (and more importantly the headache of dealing with their customer service) and buy a Sony or a Pioneer (or anything else) instead.

A disappointed buyer.......2000-05-24

This is a nice little walkman, the sound is very good the hold feature is nice to prevent accidentally switching stations if you're carrying it in a purse or backpack. The major fault I find with it and the reason I gave it two stars are the headphones, they are very uncomfortable, the foam ear pieces are very thin and actually hurt your ears a bit even though they don't fit closely. Also with the sound down fairly low someone sitting next to me could hear the music quite well, not something you want for a plane trip or sitting on mass transit. I bought this specifically because I liked the idea of having tuning and volume control on a remote on the headphones so I could keep it in my bag and not risk dropping it but the headphones were so bad I wound up using my old pair and foregoing the remote. To bad because it's a nice product except for that.

Indestructable!.......2002-09-19

I purchased this item with an extended 2 year warrantee through Circuit City. I am a voice performance/opera student and use it to tape lectures and voice lessons.

I have dropped it innumerable times. It has been thrown in a bookbag with overstuffed books over 5 years of undergrad work and now grad. work. I have even used two adaptors at the wrong voltage and fried the adaptors; yet the player works perfectly. One time it hit the ground so hard it partly came apart; but I just gave it a firm 'tap' and it fit back together just right. Other than purely superficial marring, my cassette player/recorder is PERFECT.

My lectures came out clearly enough to be able to study from them, and my voice lessons do not have a significant amount of distortion, so I have a catalog of years of study with fairly high quality recordings (not audition quality obviously).

I am especially fond of the speaker function, where I can play it out loud if I am in private and not have to use headphones. Also, the "pause" function would be great for students like me who don't have time in their lives to baby their stuff; if it goes off in your bookbag, nothing plays or records, it is just in perpetual "pause" and seems to use much less battery power. I also LOVE the battery sensor, which tells you how much battery power you have left.

The only downfalls I can note are that the reverse and fastforward buttons are not marked clearly enough.

the Little wonder portable recorder Aiwa HS JS 275.......2002-08-08

It's a handy tool for students. This portable recorder is well equipped for the contemporary student and with the auto reverse/playback capability, it is second-to-none in performance.
I have one, and would like to replace it for my academic use.

More than Expected for the Price.......2001-06-19

Good looking, easy to use, andthe sound is perfect - and I wear hearing aids! The tape recorder works exactly the same as it does on a normal size table model and the playback sounds exactly like the original. Using the microphone was simple with excellent results.I was delighted with my Alwa!

I'm an avid books on tape listener and this is by far the best tape player I've found. With large FF and REW buttons as well as a stop button and HUGE play button, I can easily find my place on the tape without looking! I also love the snappy colors.

Great player for the price, but it has definitely not the auto reverse option, which by the way attracted me to purchase it. So don't be fooled :)

Enjoy big, heavy sound in a small package with the HS-TX516 portable radio/cassette deck. Outfitted with Super Bass technology, the unit offers surprisingly robust low-frequency sound that makes everything from hip-hop to classical to jazz sound rich and full bodied. The radio includes 30 station presets (20 FM and 10 AM), helping you quickly scan your favorite stations or switch to a specific program without messing with the tuner. The radio also boasts dual tuning modes--one fast and one slow--depending on where you're going on the dial and how precise you need to be. Cassette-wise, the HS-TX516 offers all the basics, including an auto-reverse mode that either plays continually or once all the way through and a hold switch that prevents you from accidentally pressing buttons and wasting battery life.

Additional features include a three-point LCD indicator that tells you at a glance how much power is left and a pair of neckband headphones uniquely designed to comfortably and securely hold the earpieces in place. The HS-TX516 runs for up to 24 hours on a single pair of AA alkaline batteries (not included) and includes a belt clip for easier transport. And at 4.5 by 3.38 by 1.19 inches (W x H x D), it takes up very little space in your jacket pocket, backpack, or elsewhere. As with all Aiwa portable audio products, the device carries a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

I bought this cassette 13 years ago, it still plays. Aiwa has proved to be a better product than all the rest. I am sorry that Amazon has so many that is not available. I have been trying to buy the newer model but you can't find them in stores.

good value .......2006-06-03

It is a good performing product for this price. Aiwa is always the best in price/quality. Never a problem with it

Walk About.......2003-07-11

For Aiwa, they've made some decent electronics over the past couple of years. Still, it is just a shame that I really don't see their devices anymore, in favor of companies like Sony and Panasonic. With Aiwa's HS-TX516, it has a good display of playback within the cassette, and a good quality of use when you're outside. Still, since they've been introduced, Aiwa's neckband headphones are just truly uncomfortable around the ears. I suggest if you get this, try getting another set of headphones. Sadly, I recommend the HS-TX716 over this, because it has a TV Tuner and a Weather Band added on to the features this walkman has. If you can't find this one, you might as well try and get a Sony Walkman instead.

Good value for many features.......2002-02-07

I've been a consumer of Aiwa portable "walkman's" since 1981. Back then the cabinets were made of steel and the units were quite rugged but pricey. A few years ago I tried an Aiwa walkman but returned it because the volume was too weak.

This walkman is loud enough with very little distortion. It has good stereo separation and sufficient bass enhancement for a pleasing sound quality. I was surprised at the sensitivity of the FM tuner. I live in a rural area and can reliably pick up about three stations clearly. This walkman tuned in about double that number quite well.

The feature I most desired in this low-priced unit is the auto reverse. My only suggestion would be to add a button to change the direction of the tape. As it is now it is necessary to flip a direction switch which is a bit cumbersome in my opinion.

I am satisfied with this walkman and recommend it.
