Amazon.com Review
Tivoli Audio has made waves in the audio field with the retro look of models such as the Model One Henry Kloss Table Radio and the iPod-inspired iPAL Portable Audio Laboratory AM/FM Radio. The SongBook AM/FM Radio breaks that mold slightly, opting for a simple, yet fun, look and feel. And like all Tivoli Audio products, the SongBook deserves accolades for the surprisingly rich sound it is able to produce despite its compact size.
The Tivoli Design
The first thing that called our attention was the SongBook's brilliant color and unique texture. This is a radio clearly designed to make you feel happy by just looking at it and holding it. With the options of several, bright elementary colors (Black, Blue, Red, Silver, White, Green, Yellow) that make you want to reach for your crayons, the SongBook truly makes a statement. It's a radio that you'll definitely want to take to the beach, and it's a radio that makes you long for summer days all year around.
But Tivoli Audio knows that good design involves far more than color. The radio is coated with a unique, rubberized texture, and the dials and displays are all sealed so that a sudden rain shower or a little sand won't interfere with performance. We're not suggesting that you surf the waves with your SongBook, or bury it in the walls of your sand castle, but a little of Mother Nature here and there won't bother this baby.
Weighing in at three-and-a-half pounds, and with dimensions slightly smaller than that of a hardcover book, the SongBook is designed with portability in mind. The minimalist front-face design -- a round, metal mesh covering the (surprisingly robust) 2.5-inch driver, and several rubberized button and knobs are the only elements in view -- harkens back to early portable radio designs. Five presets, two tuning buttons, a rotary volume control, a function knob (OFF/AM/FM/AUX), and buttons for the alarm, sleep, time set, and back light functions are all clearly and conveniently laid out. The radio's LCD (with an on-demand blue back light) sits directly above the speaker. Meanwhile, three standard 3.5-millimeter inputs are set on the radio's side -- an auxiliary line-in port for plugging in your iPod or other music device, a port for AC/DC power, and a headphone input. All the ports feature strong, attached rubber plugs that keep out the elements when they're not in use. A rear keyhole cut-out for wall hanging is set into the back, and a single telescopic metal antenna is set into its own groove on top of the radio.
Because the SongBook is designed for the elements, the battery compartment is tightly sealed and requires a coin or screwdriver to open. Once opened, you can easily access the two switches (alkaline/rechargeable and 9k/10k) that offer options for the battery source. You can also choose U.S. or international AM reception here. The only design element missing is a handle, but Tivoli offers an optional, color coordinated SongBook Carry Bag to make up for that.
Giving it a Listen
As with other Tivoli products we've reviewed, the sound of the SongBook is remarkably strong for such a small unit. Granted, you don't get stereo sound, but competing designs that offer stereo speakers in a small package don't offer that much stereo separation anyway. Reception came in loud and clear on all the area AM and FM stations, with both AC and DC power. The only glitch, which we were able to repeat in two separate locations, was occasional outside interference that broke up broadcasts with a brief screech. All in all, though, we were happy with the sound of every genre of music we listened to, as well as talk radio. The auxiliary input was great, too, for listening to MP3s from a portable music source.
In addition to good sound quality, we found the presets, time set, alarm, and tuning/search functions impeccable. Everything was so intuitive that we barely needed to consult the manual. Another bonus we liked: The SongBook comes with a handy internal recharger, so you have the option of using rechargeable batteries without the inconvenience of having to carry around a separate recharger.
Tivoli clearly decided early on not to reinvent the wheel with respect to portable radios. Instead, they put their energies into making an easy-to-use, rugged, yet playful, radio. Audiophiles, beach-goers, and general radio listeners of the world should unite in praise.
Pros
- Rugged yet playful and colorful design
- Simple, intuitive functionality
Cons
- It's a radio with the price-tag of a much more advanced device
- Lack of a handle somewhat limits its portability

So far Tivoli gives great music!.......2007-05-31
I just purchased this radio in white. I bought it to use around the house, not for travel. Also since I just unpacked and plugged in the radio today, I have not had an opportunity to use the alarm clock or battery charging functions. Other reviews on this radio spoke of the quality of sound and of good reception. I had tried without success to listen to a favorite FM radio station where I live. The signal could be picked up in my car but not in radios inside our house. The Tivoli Songbook did the trick! I can now hear my favorite music! Although I am not quite the audiophiles that some reviewers are, the quality of sound is fine for me! Also I like the radio's design. It's sleek -- cool! The fact that it has the rubberized casing and is water resistant is icing on the cake. I also like the option of hanging it on the wall although mine will likely be sitting on a table or dresser instead. The station pre-sets are very convenient. Very nice job, Tivoli!
nice way to listen to ipod.......2007-05-20
Great tuner. Pre-sets are very nice. Great way to listen to ipod. Need to buy connector wire to plug ipod into aux input, and can't charge ipod using this device, but speaker is fine and nice to have option of switching from ipod tunes to excellent radio tuner.
Top Quality .... But at a Price........2007-03-22
Super sound, well thought-out controls, and more rugged than you might imagine. This is one fine radio. It has provided excellent performance in daily use since purchase six months ago. Only negative? Tivoli Audio's restrictive pricing policy on merchants.
Almost Perfect.......2007-01-05
When my nearly 20 year old Sony Dream Machine cube style alarm clock radio finally gave out I decided to go in search of the best night stand alarm clock radio money could buy. The requirements were design style, sound quality, reception, ease of use, and a back light that goes completely off so that I can sleep at night. After a good deal of research I zeroed in on the Tivoli SongBook ($159) and the Sangean Sonido ($99). After trying both, here's what I've found:
The Tivoli SongBook has very attractive, modern styling (I prefer the black model), exceptional sound quality (like having a $1,000 Bose next to my bed), terrific reception (I don't even need to extend the antenna to get my favorite radio station clearly), very easy to set/update the clock and alarm times, and a back light which thankfully goes completely off. I took one star off for the SongBooks negatives - the alarm must be turned on everyday buy pushing down and holding the alarm button for a few seconds (easy to do, but I fear the day that I forget), no alarm snooze (I just turn the volume down), and the display, with or without it's beautiful blue back light turned on, is small and difficult to read, even from only a foot or so away while lying in bed.
The Sangean Sonido looks nice, though not as attractive a design as the SongBook, cost's $59 less than the SongBook, has a more readable screen than the SongBook (with back light that goes completely off), has an alarm snooze, and has an alarm that stays on from day to day. While I haven't made my final decision yet on which to keep, I'm strongly leaning toward the SongBook given the Sonido's shortcomings - to get my favorite station clearly I must extend the antenna directly upwards creating an unsightly mess, while better than a Sony Dream Machine the speaker audio quality is only about half as good as the SongBooks (I think this is what spoiled it for me), and even though the display is nicer when the radio alarm sounds the display shows the radio station number, not the time!
I hope Tivoli will improve the alarm functions in a future SongBook model update, until then I think it's still worth the $159 price tag (as long as I'm not late for a meeting because I forgot to turn the alarm on!)
Update: In the end I decided to go with the Sonido. I exchanged my first unit and the replacement had much better audio quality (though still not as good as the SongBook). The reception remains less than stellar, but while using the SongBook I was late for a meeting because of it's lack of full alarm function features, so it had to go.
Travel radio? Not really........2006-12-02
Cool design, good sound quality, but if your travel plans require a passport, definitely not the radio for you. Not mentioned anywhere on the product specifications is the fact that this radio (as seemingly do most, if not all, Tivoli products, including the expensive iSongBook "travel" radio) requires a standard US external power source, so if you were to try to plug it in, say, in your hotel in Europe, most likely you'll have one less thing to worry about when packing to return home. And of course the warranty will not cover any damages from such "improper" use. Which makes me wonder whether advertising it as a travel radio and trumpeting its AM/FM radio features made specifically "for North America AND Europe" isn't a bit misleading, if not downright fraudelent. Look elsewhere if you really need a radio to travel with.

Product Description
KX-TCA90 hands-free headset is designed for use with any phone equipped with a 2.5mm headset jack. Ear-mount attachment allows you to use it with or without the headband. The headset is reversible so you can use it on either ear. KX-TCA90 features a noise-canceling microphone and adjustable clothing clip.
Amazon.com Review
The Panasonic KX-TAC90 convertible telephone headset is sleek and comfortably designed for long, hands-free conversations. It can be used with any headset-compatible cordless or cellular phone that has a 2.5-millimeter jack.
The KX-TAC90 features a slim headband, a padded earpiece and headpiece, and a fully adjustable microphone. In our tests, the headset was extremely versatile and required little assembly. The microphone can ostensibly be worn with the headband on either ear or it can be hung from the ear using the included large and small ear attachments. However, in our tests, the microphone did not stay in place well unless worn with the headband.
The sound quality of the earpiece and microphone were both clear. The headband was light and sturdy as well, making it comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The KX-TAC90 has a noise-canceling microphone that eliminates background noise and makes your voice more easily understandable to callers. It also has a 4-foot cord with an adjustable clothing clip to give you even greater range of motion.
All in all, the Panasonic KX-TAC90 is a well-built item that's sure to add mobility and productivity to phone calls. --Megan Dugan
Pros:
- Quick and easy assembly
- Reversible microphone and earpiece
Cons:
- Ear-hanging option doesn't work well
Customer Reviews:
speaker okay, microphone very weak.......2002-09-21
People routinely complain that I can't be heard when using this headset. The sound on the other end is fuzzy but primarily very faint. Also, the ear clip method doesn't work very well. You end up holding the device to your ear to hear well, so it doesn't fall off, and so the mic is close to your mouth. Certainly not up to Panasonic's usual quality.
I Love It.......2002-02-26
In my small beauty shop, the background noise of hair dryers sometimes prevents me from hearing well on the phone. But with this headset, I can hear just great....it helps block out background noises. I highly recommend this Panasonic headset.
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.......2002-01-25
Didnt work for my telephone.... Period.... cant be universal if it isnt, right?
Dissappointing.......2001-11-27
I had a ... headset I bought for about ... at a local store. It worked OK but it was uncomfortable so I decided to upgrade to this one. What a dissapointment. My major complaint is the sound volume. When I put this on callers complain that the volume is too low and ask me to remove it and use the handset.
I'd suggest that you shop around and look at some alternatives before you consider purchasing this one. This is certainly not worth the price.
Horrible Headset! Here's why!.......2001-09-11
I recently purchased this headset believing the other customer comments on it. Also, I have never been unhappy with Panasonic. However, now I don't think some of them have ever used other headsets before, because this headset flat out BITES! You can't hear very well on it and my friend that I talk to every day complains that it sounds like I'm on a speakerphone. My old headset that I bought for [less] sounds much better on both ends. I think the noise canceling on this thing actually cancels too much! Trust me, it's not as good as most Panasonic products!

My favorite piece of electronics EVER.......2005-03-14
This is my prize. I can't remember how I stumbled across it in my research for a flat screen LCD, but it hasn't let me down yet. I've had it since March of 2003 which as of this writing is two years. Since that time the only problem to speak of is one dead pixel (just the green transistor) which I noticed during the first month. In two years I've yet to notice any more dead pixels. The viewing angle on this baby is downright astonishing. I was almost at 90 degrees from the center and experienced little change in contrast. Another astonishing aspect of this monitor is its profile. It's about 4/5" at its thickest and is considerably thinner than many 17" LCDs two years later. Also of note, to this day I've never needed to use the On Screen Display for anything.
Pros
- Superb viewing angle
- Durable
- Extremely thin profile
- Excellent contrast ratio
- DVI compatible
- Wall mountable
- Travel's easy
Cons
- One dead pixel in two years
- Buttons may be too small for some people
Very nice monitor.......2002-12-28
My first LCD. Looks great under DVI. Setup was a snap. Pictures look gorgeous. Can't ask for more: fast response time, .26 dot pitch, 170/170 viewing angle. All cables included - very nice.
Work with both PC and Mac, which is a nice feature becoz I have a Win2000 desktop and also a Mac laptop. Can connect to this monitor without breaking a sweat. If you are looking for a reasonably priced and loaded 17" LCD, this is the one.
PS. ...

I just got this monitor and love it. Setup was simple and the brightness and colours are amazing. Text is sharp and no flicker (as in CRT monitors) means less eye fatigue.

Great value, great design!.......2003-07-23
I heard that Samsung was stepping up their line of LCD monitors. What I love about this product:
1. Dual Interface: Analog/DVI
2. Hinge design - this thing can fold down flat and the profile is awesome
3. Looks great! I have the silver one and generally has small footprint on my desk.
4. Automatic adjustment, under analog - under DVI everything is pretty much automatic
5. Solid design!
No complaints and no problems. Next time I may target the 19".
Great Monitor, a little [more money].......2003-04-15
Got this monitor about 4 months ago and it has worked quite well. Its a bit [more money] but comes with a few more features than most. It has the DVI connection as well as the standard. One of the advantages of this is that you can connect two computers to monitor and just switch between sources with the button on the front. The clearity of the images are terrific, i am not exactly a video-phile but i have not noticed any negitive attributes. I have never watched a full length movie but movie clips like previews for instance play quite well and there is not any noticable lag in color change. Its probably not worth the price if you dont have the dvi connection for you computer, but it certainly increases the quality.

Amazon.com Review
The Tivoli Model One has been praised far and wide for its high-quality sound, small size, and cool, retro styling. We got our hands on a sample unit and came away impressed, just as many others have. Anyone who wants a compact, stylish radio with surprisingly good sound should give the Model One a look.
Design
In many ways, the Model One is the culminating achievement of famed audio engineer Henry Kloss's long career. Designed from the ground up by Kloss, who passed away in 2002, the radio exudes understated class and elegant simplicity. We received the Platinum Series Model One, which features a hand-lacquered, high gloss dark walnut cabinet that is simply gorgeous. According to Tivoli, the genuine wood casing isn't just for looks as it provides "an acoustically inert housing" that maximizes the speaker's sound quality. At just over 8 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep, the Model One is about the size of a toaster turned on its side-- plenty small to fit on a desk, dresser, or nightstand.
The Model One's single rotary dial handles tuning for both AM and FM stations. It feels sturdy and smooth in the hand. The dial is designed to move between stations at a speed that is a bit slower than the speed at which the user turns the knob-- a 5 to 1 ratio, to be exact. This "ratio" dialing technique makes it far easier to tune stations accurately and quickly. It's a nice touch that sets the unit apart from other desktop radios.
The tuner band selection and volume dials are easy to control. Plus, they're well designed for hands of all sizes. A small LED power indicator, as well as an LED that helps determine signal strength, are positioned between the dials. We liked the light-colored face and dark lettering printed on the Platinum Series model we reviewed; it made for easy operation in dimly-lit rooms. The Model One's single, 3" driver is protected by a handsome metal speaker cover. Tivoli adds that the speaker is enhanced by a "multi-stage frequency contouring circuit that adjusts the speaker's output over half-octave increments." The result, Tivoli claims, is "musically accurate tonal balance and bass response."
The back of the unit features a coaxial antenna jack for the included FM antenna wire. While the Model One also has an internal FM antenna, Tivoli recommends using the supplied external one for tricky tuning in locales with a lot of stations crammed together. There's a handy switch for switching between the internal and external antennae. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is also provided, as is a 3.5mm auxiliary line in port for plugging in your iPod or other music device. If you want to use the Model One as a component tuner-- not a bad idea given the overall quality and accuracy of the tuning circuitry-- Tivoli has provided a 3.5mm output port. The back panel also sports separate ports for AC and DC power, making the unit a great choice for boating or RV use.
Listening Pleasure
As with the Tivoli iPal portable speaker system, we were initially skeptical about the performance of a small, one-speaker unit that only offers monaural sound. The reality is that most small two-speaker systems don't allow you to place the speakers very far apart anyway, and the Model One's rich, resonant sound more than made up for its lack of true stereo separation. Plus, the Model One is a single, elegant box with no annoying speaker cords.
While the Model One isn't designed to provide earth-shattering sound at high volume, it produces surprising clarity and fullness at normal listening levels. When turned all the way up, the unit's rich sound persists and we suspect that Tivoli engineered the Model One's volume level to max out before any distortion arises. If you don't need a lot of volume, the Model One delivers. As with the iPal, we were left scratching our heads and wondering how such great sound could come from such a little box.
The Model One's tuning accuracy is also impressive; we were able to dial in stations we didn't even know existed. Tivoli says this is due to the unit's discrete-component FM tuner technology, which was originally developed for cellular telephones. Whatever Tivoli has done here, they did it right; closely-spaced stations are a breeze to tune.
Pros
- Compact form factor
- Excellent sound
- Supremely accurate tuning
Cons
- Not engineered to produce extremely high volume levels

A Terrific Little Radio!.......2007-09-16
I just purchased this radio for my class room, which usually has terrible reception. I am an art teacher, and we listen to music as we work on our projects. I have a designated DJ each class period, and the students love that they are able to listen to their favorite stations now! Now I will never have to buy another $60.00 boom box that breaks in 6 months and has bad reception! I love it!:)
Great radio.......2007-09-03
Great sound, simple to use and can plug all kinds of audio into it. Amazing sound for the size and price and can fit anywhere. Makes a great gift.
Great AM/FM Radio, AM Improves with Tivoli AM Antenna.......2007-08-18
I concur with the praise offered for this radio, excellent sound and reception. I wanted it because my home is in a difficult reception area, with nearby mountains. My office reception is also poor but because of a metal roof structure. This radio brings in stations like no other I have tried in both areas. You can tune in a weak station, which is barely audible and quite unlistenable, but after a few seconds, the circuit seems to tune it in to the exclusion of nearby interefering stations and it becomes listenable.
In strong signal areas, the internal antennas are sufficient, otherwise it comes with a basic wire antenna for FM. To use an external AM antenna you are going to have to buy or make one. I bought the Tivoli AM antenna for about $10.00 from the manufacturer and find it does great things for the AM. Noisey stations suddenly become quite clean.
I am sure you can find even better antennas, reception of any radio is very much a function of the antenna.
It is a bit expensive. I waited until this model was on sale for $59.00 from Target and then bought 2.
Great sound for the size.......2007-07-13
I considered this and the BA Recepter. Tried them out side by side and the Model 1 sounded superior. Nice even response across the whole low to mid range. The Recepter definitely had the heavy bass at some frequencies that other reviewers reported. Reception on the Model 1 was also much better than the Recepter. Volume was fine - more than enough to fill your bedroom or kitchen with (loud) sound. Finally, I agree with some earlier reviewers that there is a bit of a buzz noticeable at low volumes. But, I'm fairly picky and I have to say, unless I was sleeping with my ear next to the thing, with the volume all the way down, I would never notice it. This thing sounds great.
great little radio.......2007-07-08
The radio is great. The knob has a great feel to the tuning. You can plug in one AUX item, a speaker and use headphones. Very happy with this purchase for my kitchen.

Another excellent Sony memory stick.......2007-09-22
This is the larger sized memory stick pro at 256 mb. I've used this memory stick as well as the newer models for years and have never had any problems with them. This specific one I use for my sony vaio and sony clie and make it easy to transfer pdf and other files between my notebook and handheld clie. Very reliable and never lost any data.
I've not had any problems with these Sony Memory Sticks.......2007-02-17
I've owned and use the Sony 256MB Memory Stick Pro pictured (in black), and currently also use a 1GB Sony Memory Stick Pro. I've not had any problems with them, formatting or otherwise, over long periods of heavy use. OK, a little pricier than, say, SD cards, but a good quality product for Sony digital cameras.
Looking London Talking Tokyo.......2005-10-21
Site says "NEW" item..but found the plastic cut and opened..when asked seller replied giving many reasons..like... to bring down shipping cost (how ?), or otherwise the price wont be so low ( does that mean give opened item saying NEW) or it was too late to update (we can wait) ...Though Product works well but i had given money for new item..!!! Who knows how long it will work..so think before you buy..opened item is called NEW here !!
Original Memory Stick.......2005-07-30
Works properly. Now that the number of megapixels in digital cameras continue to increase, buying a 512mb or 1gb memory card would be a better investment. However, if you don't think you need that much storage, this memory stick produced by Sony will be a good choice for your purposes.
All the memory you need but SanDisk is cheaper.......2005-01-30
This product works well enough and has an extensive amount of memory. It is more than enough unless you take an insane amount of pictures or you want to take a 50 min video, in which case I recommend you just buy a digital camcorder. If you are thinking about getting the 512 or bigger i would not recommend it because you will probably find that you simply dont need that much space. However, if I could do it all over again I would buy the SanDisk which works just as well for half the price.

Product Description
Good things come in small packages. Offering MagicGate copyright protection technology, high capacity storage and a theoretical maximum data transfer capability of up to 20 megabytes per second (MB/s), this 256MB Memory Stick PRO Duo compact media is designed to fit portable devices. It includes the ability to record high-resolution moving images in real time. Best of all, by attaching an adapter (included), it can also be used in products compatible with standard-size Memory Stick media.
Customer Reviews:
Great! Best one out there!.......2004-02-01
I purchased my Memory Stick Pro Duo 256 for my Sony Clie SJ-25. It works great! It is super fast and has more than enough space. Just don't mistake it for a stick of gum! The best part was that it was the same price as older model Memory Sticks such as memory stick select, and Memory Stick Pro! For devices that do not take Memory Stick Duo, but take Memory Stick, a Memory Stick Duo adapter is included in the package. I would highly recommed this to anyone who is looking for a fast, lower cost Memory Stick.
