Excellent product for the money! It is aesthetically appealing and the sound quality is great. It provides a great digital tuner and the CD player never skips a beat. It provides good sound quality along with the power you need for listening to music/radio within your home and in any room...even your kitchen. For the money, it is an excellent buy. The tuner picks up signals very well. My older stereo unit wouldn't pick up certain AM talk radio stations, but this unit does it very clear.

Sony MHC-EC55 Mini Stereo was purchased Dec.2007 and was great for about five months. Then the CD player would only play two Cds and recently (August) it has quit playing completely. It reads NO DISC when there are three discs carefully loaded. I am so very disappointed in this player because it is quite large and now is useless. I have tried to contact SONY with no luck. I have a large quantity of CDs and I would love to be able to play them, but I wondering if the life of a CD player is about six months.

We got the Sony yesterday for Christmas, and unpacked it right away. It is bigger than we expected, and we had to rearrange part of our living room to accommodate the player. It really is wonderful. The sound is surprising for a unit that sells in this price range. We like chamber music and we got it sounding right.
I read on some of the reviews posted here that the disc changer is loud. Give me a break. The changer does what it has to do without interfering. If your ears are so sensitive or your expectations so pure that the sound of a disc moving in a machine is going to upset your sensibilities then I don't know what you might really want. It's a bargain.

I recently purchased a Sony mini-stereo from Amazon.com and I am pleased with this little system.
It is small but it packs quite a punch at a very reasonable price.
If you want to hear your music and not spend a fortune then is it. This stereo cranks out the sound.
I don't hear well and I have a tendency to blow out speakers so I replaced the speakers that came with it with a pair of Technics speakers I had but the original speakers sounded great also. I wasn't sure if they could handle the volumn I like for long without blowing and I know the Technics can handle it.
I love mine and I can hear the music the way I want to.

I was looking for some super speakers to blast while I work out and I stumbled upon the Sony MHC-EC55 Mini Hi-Fi Component System (jeez, that was a long title). Everything works pretty well: radio is fine, 3 disc changer works well, and most important of all, the "audio in" works magnificiently. The "audio in" allows me to connect my ipod to the speakers, which is the main feature for which I purchased this awesome product. There are no flaws that I can spot or that annoy me with this product. One last thing, the volume goes up to 30, which is plenty loudness for most people's needs and the remote works great, too. Any who, the product greatly satisfies my needs and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a speaker system that can play your cds, your ipod, and your favorite radio stations with great overall sound and loudness in the comfort of your home or anywhere else you want to take these semi-colossal speakers.
