Typical price: £90
What is it: Micro CD system with iPod dock and tuner
What we think: Affordable but at the cost of build and audio quality
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 16 October 2007
Tags: ministry of sound, slot, speaker, sound quality
We like:
Price; speaker design; reasonably attractive
We don't like:
Muddy sound quality; lacklustre bass; poor display
You might also need:
iPod; SD card; USB drive
CNET.co.uk judgement:
An affordable micro CD system with a useful built-in iPod dock, but severely lacking quality of construction and audio performance. This is certainly suitable for teens on a budget looking for an attractive bedroom setup, but anyone else should consider stronger alternatives

Ministry of Sound MOSMC139IP: Teenage beats
Ministry of Sound's new MOSMC139IP might not have the most alluring name in the world, but for under £100 it could well be a good little iPod-ready micro hi-fi for teenage clubbers-to-be

Great value and function as a package, but some products perform individual functions better
Philips MCI-500H
A solid offering for the price, but its feature set doesn't attempt going the extra mile
