Best Buy Question: Need the difference between 2 Sony boomboxes. What is the difference between the Sony CFDG505 BLK Xplod CD Radio Boombox and the Sony CD/Cassette Boombox with AM/FM Radio - (model CFD-G700CP). I will be using this with senior citizens and they have both cassette tapes and cds. I need to know which one would be better. Answer: (Updated) Hello. Welcome to the Best Buy community. Thank you for your question. It is important to compare and contrast the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo’s feature set to its competitive sibling, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox. Both Sony XPLOD boomboxes are very close in features, performance, physical appearance and total weight. Both Sony XPLOD boomboxes offer the same amplifier output power at 20 Watts (RMS). The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers superior sound quality compared to the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505Black boombox. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox features a larger Power Drive Woofer than the other model. As a result, the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo produces bass that is on par with expensive component stereos. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP Portable Stereo features two tweeters for better reproduction of vocals and high-pitched instruments. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 Portable Stereo does not feature tweeter drivers. There are some other key differences between the two models. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers 2 Auxiliary Input Jacks for connection to audio components of your choice. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 Portable Stereo features 1 Line Input Jack for connection to an MP3 Player, computer, TV, etc. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers MP3 CD Playback but the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox does not. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox provides access to preset tuner stations and CD track access one station or track at a time. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox allows direct input to preset tuner stations and CD tracks with a numeric keypad on the remote commander. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox is compatible with DJ lighting equipment. When a compatible DJ lighting device, such as the American DJ D-Light Sync Pak Stage Lights, is connected to the Sony D-Light Sync Controller, the lighting device will react to the beats of the music produced by the Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 boombox is not compatible with DJ lighting equipment. The Sony XPLOD CFD-G700CP boombox offers similar sound quality to a stereo with large Hi-Fi tower speakers attached but the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505 Portable Stereo is the best audio that you ever heard from a traditional boombox. The Power Drive Woofer on both models can be turned off but the overall sound quality will be diminished when the super bass woofer is disengaged. The Sony XPLOD boomboxes feature a 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Jack. Sony MDR Series Stereo Headphones should be used to obtain the best possible private listening results. You indicated that you intend to use the Sony XPLOD CFD-G Series boombox with senior citizens. Senior citizens detest bass notes from a subwoofer. I suggest buying the boombox with the least amount of deep bass performance which is the Sony XPLOD CFD-G505BLACK boombox. You can purchase another Sony boombox from Best Buy to entertain senior citizens. The Sony CFD-S350SILVER boombox features a CD player, cassette player/recorder, FM/AM tuner and two superb stereo speakers. The Sony CFD-S350 boombox is much lighter in weight and therefore more portable than the two XPLOD boomboxes. Lastly, the Sony CFD-S350 boombox offers high quality sound that will easily fill a medium sized room with great sound without producing extremely deep bass notes that tend to annoy seniors. Good Luck.
