JVC Boom box Reviews

Remember the 80’s? No? Well that’s most likely because you were crunching on blissed out sounds from a boombox on the beach. Seriously though, it almost seems like we’ve forgotten about boomboxes in the 21st Century. Thing is though, the need is still there – there is no substitute for the boombox if you want to really let loose with your music, regardless of what anyone else thinks! Also, it’s been scientifically proven that owing a boombox makes you more attractive to women.

Let’s not forget the retro effect. What kind of guy annoys everyone else on the beach playing Snoop Dogg on the beach from a cassette tape boom box? Think about it.

It is widely said that the JVC RV-NB1 boombox is the definitive model, simply because of its unique style. Beefy, very beefy. But if you’ll believe it, JVC had plans to cancel their whole line of Kaboom Boomboxes! Luckily they didn’t, and we can have the experience of hearing the bass from the JVC RV-NB1, an extremely powerful sound system that you can carry with you anywhere using the handy shoulder strap.

How powerful is the JVC RV-NB1 boombox? Try 52 watts, feeding twin front firing 16 inch speakers and 16 inch side firing subwoofers. Have you ever heard of a portable music system with more raw power than that? Yeah JVC, real good idea to try and cancel these!

Back to the features – basically, it plays anything. MP3s, CDs, CD-RW, and FM/AM radio as well as audio cassettes! All the usual features you’d expect with a CD player are found here. The CD player hardly skips a beat even when you’re running with the JVC RV-NB1 boombox…if that’s what you plan to do. The bass response submerges itself to under 100 hertz – for no audiophiles, that’s seriously good for a boombox. A real boom. The sound is rich and hearty, with a wide stereo range. Remember, you can plug in anything (e.g. MP3 player) to the aux port. It also comes with a remote. To power, use D batteries or AC Adapter.

As you may have gathered, we were thoroughly impressed when we tried out the JVC RV-NB1 boombox. It’s beefy, high performance sound and bad-ass style always generated attention wherever we took it! For parties or on the beach on hot summer days, it’s the portable music system of choice. The JVC RV-NB1 boombox is highly recommended.

The JVC RC-EZ35 looks like a classic JVC boombox. It is not designed to intimidate – it is designed to perform in any situation, and be as versatile and adaptable as a boombox can be. It is one of the more all-round solutions to your portable music needs. In the garden, at the beach, BBQ or any outdoor function, the JVC RC-EZ35 holds its own.

One of the first things that struck us about the JVC RC-EZ35 is the chassis. It’s not the beefiest looking boombox, but it is certainly stylish and looks cool when its sitting on your lawn. It’s not like we tried doing this, but we got the feeling that it was really sturdy and it would survive being dropped. It certainly got knocked over a few times though, and survived several beer-spillage incidents without a scratch, which we were impressed by!

Back to the JVC RC-EZ35 features – basically, you can play anything on it. Here are the formats that are suppoprted:

There is also a good AUX function, meaning you can connect your old phonograph or gramaphone and boogey on down. The JVC RC-EZ35 boombox is a damn fine CD player. It has programming for CDs (40 track), Repeat, Random, Intro, synchro-start recording capability.

The JVC RC-EZ35 surprised us with its crystal clear audio reproduction. There is a wide, deep stereo range, with excellent enhancement of the low end frequencies which reminded us of beefier JVC boomboxes such as the RV-NB1.

More features:

We found the JVC RC-EZ35 Boombox exceeded our expectations. It genuinely surprised us with the quality of audio reproduction – and, don’t worry, it is definitely loud as a boombox should be. Smaller and lighter than other JVC boomboxes, this enhances its portability. With a stylish look and excellent media compatability, the JVC RC-EZ35 Boombox thoroughly impressed us. it is highly recommended.

We’ve all heard about iPod docking stations, but what about iPod boombox docking stations? JVC have come through again with the JVC RA-P10 Boombox iPod dock. We thought we’d give the JVC RA-P10 our attention, given its popularity. The first thing that struck us when we first saw it was its minimalist, stylish design which takes up very little space. It looks quite techy and sophisticated. It really fits in with the design of the iPod.

We found that the quality of the sound is generally good. There is quite a wide stereo range with the JVC RA-P10. However, we were most impressed by the amount of bass that came out of the little speakers. Low end compensation eas excellent, a real deep bass sound which is completely unexpected from a system of this size. Also, it was loud. You are unlikely to turn this thing up to full blast unless you’re on a desert island.

Features of the JVC RA-P10:

On the whole we were impressed by the JVC RA-P10 Boombox iPod dock. Sound quality was very good, bass response was excellent, and the thing looks very nice. It’s sleek and aesthetically unobtrusive. A range of nifty features sealed the deal. The JVC RA-P10 Boombox iPod dock is highly recommended.
