Boomus Fidelis
So many pros and cons with each one.
Manhattan:
Good warm sound, made possible by wood enclosures
But the 4" speakers look tiny behind those big grills
The handle falls with a bang
No tuner
Spectrum analyzer is fake, it doesn't match the music frequencies.
Doesn't display track info. Such a waste of a big display.
Ridiculously loud female voice that announces every time you change functions or skip tracks (And there's no way to turn it off)
Adjustable echo and other mic effects.
Brooklyn:
Bigger speakers
Tiny battery, it's a joke, and it has a habit of draining
CD player rattles
VU meter has a delay factor, and bleeds light into the surrounding area
Has a tuner, but the knob has lots of friction, and it isn't very easy to get a lock
Handle falls with a bang
Knobs are digital with a strong delay factor, you can't turn them quickly.
Cannot skip back to the beginning of the song, it skips to the previous song instead
Aiwa
No rechargeable battery
Speakers small, but bigger than the Manhattan at least
Does the handle fall with a bang?
CD player is better quality than the Brooklyn's, doesn't rattle
Tuner knob feels better than the Brooklyn's
Analog VU meters instead of delayed LED garbage
