Onkyo CS-265(B) CD Hi-Fi Mini System with Bluetooth

really good product ,sounds better than expected, also accepts some high resolution audio formats.

when it comes to small/micro hifi system there aren't that many choices. I did my research and Onkyo was one of the best in my price range. Sure there are better system but they are in the upwards of $500.00.the overall look is nice. black piano finish is great, goes with virtually everything. very simplistic and easy to use. remote has all the functions that are available from the system. sound is pretty good for such a small unit. cd, fm radio, usb and Bluetooth all work flawlessly so far. Happy with the seller as well. item was shipped several hrs from the time I ordered it. arrived well packed no damage and on time. would recommend this system as well as the seller

Nice bookshelf stereo for our living room, easy to use and decent sound but is not something that will knock the pictures off a wall. It is what i expected after looking at all the different models and reviews.

Me llevó un tiempo poder hacer una reseňa de este producto ya que lo he estado usando por 6 meses y tuve una serie de sentimientos encontrados.Al comprar un Onkyo (mi marca favorita) yo esperaba una calidad máxima en el audio y si bien no es lo que yo personalmente esperaba si es un equipo que te brinda una excelente relación en calidad/precio.Me arriesgue ya que nunca tuve la oportunidad de escuchar el equipo antes de comprarlo.Yo estaba buscando una bocina bluetooth para ponerlo en la sala de estar y así amenizar tardes y reuniones sociales con música. Este equipo es ideal para este tipo de propósitos, escuchar música para reuniones tranquilas o simplemente relajarse en un cuarto de no más de 20 mts cuadrados. No es el adecuado para hacer fiestas ruidosas o en salones grandes ya que el audio a volumen máximo no tiene suficiente potencia y si se escucha un poco de distorsión para los que somos un poco exigentes en el mundo del audio.Definitivamente si le gana a cualquier equipo de gama baja y media y me atrevo a decir que le gana a las bocinas Bose.Personalmente siento que las bocinas bluetooth Bose realzan tanto los graves que se pierde mucho los agudos...y eso es algo que me di cuenta en muchas pruebas de audio.. Inclusive bajando los graves en tu smartphone no sirve de mucho.Este equipo Onkyo es "minicomponente" asi que si cuenta con sus propias configuraciones para poner el audio como quieras... Mas graves, más agudos o medios.Tener un CD puerto USB y entrada line-in (solamente análoga) son grandes ventajas por si quieres oir una fuente de audio que no sea bluetooth.Eso si, no es un equipo móvil ya que no cuenta con batería y las bocinas son igual alambricas. El equipo esta diseñado para dejarlo fijo en un lugar.El acabado físico es precioso. Utiliza muy poco espacio y en negro se ve muy elegante. Practicamente cabe en cualquier espacio como de 20 cm de ancho y 15 de alto.Si lo van a conectar para escuchar una fuente externa como la televisión es muy probable que necesiten un adaptador ya que solo tiene 2 RCA analogas y hoy ya todas las pantallas usan puro óptico digital (toslink) para la salida de audio. El adaptador se consigue hasta en 150 pesos en mercado libre o lugares asi.Eso si, recomiendo subir el nivel de entrada del line-in (si se puede configurar) al máximo para que se escuche con mucha claridad la televisión, blu ray o cualquier otra cosa que conecten a una pantalla. Definitivamente es mejor opción que las bocinas integradas de cualquier pantalla.Si logran conseguir este equipo por debajo de los 6 mil pesos y no les interesa que el equipo no se pueda mover como una bocina, esta es de las mejores opciones para amenizar reuniones o escuchar música con muy baja distorsión en cuartos pequeños.Yo estuve evaluando muchas marcas como Bose, SONOS, Harman Kardon y la mayoría no me convencían por la calidad del audio o por el precio. Para mi este equipo fue la opción más balanceada.

Great sound, great functionality, great remote, great looks, great size, and does not require a phone or tablet to use.As an audiophile for many years, with many thousands of dollars spent on expensive stereo equipment (e.g., separate preamp and amplifier), I was very impressed with this compact system. The sound is good, especially after turning off the "bass boost" function and adding the included rubber pads to the speaker bottoms (2 pads in the front, 1 pad in the rear).I love that this unit does not need a phone or tablet to use, and can accept a tiny USB stick in the front (the SanDisk Cruzer works perfectly, and is almost invisible it's so small) while holding a massive amount of music -- literally thousands of hours of music.The unit has numerous input options: the USB stick mentioned, Bluetooth via phone or tablet, standard audio CD, MP3 files on CD, and AM/FM radio.Sadly, these days almost everything requires a phone or tablet to use, which drives me bonkers. I don't want to use a phone to work basic household items, and also don't want to give children a phone or tablet to work basic household items. Also, bluetooth streaming reduces sound quality. So the USB input is exactly what i was looking for, and it shows the song title when playing on the LED screen.The system looks very sharp in white, with all the needed buttons in a single neat row on top of the 'amplifier' portion, which are intuitive to use, so the remote isn't even needed. But the remote (also white) is full featured and also easy to use.

The Onkyo CS-265 mini Hi-fi CD Bluetooth Stereo System: If you are in need for a smaller, good quality, great sounding stereo unit, then this is a good choice! It's small and compact in size, looks good, seems to be made very good, and sounds great! The Bluetooth works great. The radio works great and picks up stations really well. The USB port works great. The CD player works great! And these days it's becoming harder and harder to find a mini system that actually sounds good and has all these features. Plus the CD player so far has been working really good , unlike most of the other cheaper CD systems out there now days that seem to be so cheaply made and always end up breaking quickly or just don't work! Just cause everything is going to mp3 files and stuff doesn't mean that they should stop making CD players that work. Some people as is me, still buy and collect the actual CD albums. Plus this system just sounds so nice and clear. And I have noticed that it is hard to find a halfway good sounding little system any more, especially one that has a CD player! But anyways this mini unit is a great buy. It sounds great for the size and the size of the speakers. Clear mids, Highs, and nice lows. Now don't expect to have hard pounding lows, because there is not a sub with this system. But the bass does sound pretty good. All in all I feel that this mini stereo system is of great quality and sound. Yes it's a little more expensive, but if you want whatever you are listening to to sound good, then it is worth the price. I have owned this unit for probably about 6 months now and so far haven't had any issues with it. And I use this for atleast four hours almost every day. I DO recommend this item. I'm very pleased with this purchase. I will update if I ever have any problems with it in the future.
