I love this stereo: wonderful sound, appearance, price, and size. The sound is better than most larger stereos that I tried. The remote control works from quite a distance, and the hidden control board on the face itself is very cool. Word of warning: don't be stupid like me and fail to connect the cables completely. I thought that I had a defective product (I was even on the phone with the Aiwa) until I really jammed the CD cable into the bottom unit. Then, it worked! One drawback: though the product is discontinued (I called the company), Amazon's price jumped $30.00 within about 3 days of my purchase! It wasn't listed as a sale item, so I was rather shocked when I checked back to review the reviews on the stereo.

This is a great system for the price. I bought this for my office at work to replace my ageing boom box and couldn't believe the difference in sound. The sound is almost as good as my Hi-Fi setup at home yet at 1/10th the price. Another great part is how compact the system is and it still has all the features you could ask for. Several people at work who have bought more expensive stereos for their office have commented on how they wished they would have saved some money and bought this stereo instead.

As soon as I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised with what I had purchased. This stereo is typical of other Aiwa products I have owned. The fit and finish are excellent, the sound is great for it's small size, and it's features are many and unique. A subwoofer will be required for deep base fans, but overall it's the best deal I've ever gotten on a stereo.

I beg you to find a better system for the price. I did a lot of research on Ultra-Mini and Micro CD stereo systems before I took the chance of ordering this online. I think I found the best sound out there! Especially for the amazing Amazon.com price. I tested micro systems at electonics stores that were upwards of three times the price. The sound clarity of the AWIA is every bit as good... if not better! And, it looks very classy to boot! The speakers have a beautiful gloss coated walnut finish. It's also very easy to use. To sum it up, the XR-M75 offers awesome sound, all the perfect funtions and great looks. I'm considering buying one for my wife's office too!

I unpacked this unit this AM and have showed the amazing sound to no less than 5 people who were all blown away. The clarity and functionality of this micro system is amazing. Now I want to find the micro subwoofer system that goes with it.
