poor value poor quality
Agree with Martin.
The manufacturers need to produce something that looks a bit more 'modern' and at least have stereo. Failing that I would only buy something pocket sized so that at least it would be more portable for everyday use. Local radio stations would help to sell it too. Energy efficiency/power consumption also needs to be improved to get longer battery life. There seems to be a great temptation on the part of the manufacturers to go for cheap mass production at the expense of quality (sound/features/durability).
Having said the above I have a hope for an improved system and sets.
