SoundWorks i765
Named Top "Recommended MP3 Sound System" by Consumer Reports, January 2008
"If you are looking for one of the best possible home solutions for your iPod or have your eye on one of those great-sounding, expensive premium table radios like the Bose Wave Radio, today is your lucky day! I regularly receive e-mails asking, "What is that radio I have seen you recommend in the column, the one that sounds better than the Bose but costs less?" The radio in question is the critically acclaimed SoundWorks Radio from Cambridge SoundWorks. The top-of-the-line version is the SoundWorks i765 iPod/DVD Entertainment System. It combines the great-sounding AM-FM radio/alarm clock with a CD/DVD player and an integrated iPod docking station with charging capability..........At its original price of $499, the i765 offered a lot for the money, and at the new price of $299 it's simply flabbergasting. Lots of readers were thrilled with their $349 SoundWorks CD radios, and now you can get a much more advanced, more capable model for $50 less! When I received the press release announcing the price reduction, I had to double check it to make sure I was reading it correctly........I commend Cambridge SoundWorks not only for making a great product, but for really putting themselves out there by making a bold, consumer-friendly move in tough economic times."

"Cambridge SoundWorks' SoundWorks i765 is a tabletop radio on steroids." - Maximum PC, April 2008
"This small-yet-powerful speaker cranks out surprisingly good audio from a wide array of sources including iPods, radio, CDs, DVDs, and even the iPhone. It's expensive, but you're paying for one of the best iPod-enabled sound systems available." - Computer Shopper Magazine, March 2008
"The i765 is the latest and greatest entry from Cambridge's well-regarded line of stereo clock tabletop radios. The new model also boasts a slot-loading CD/DVD player, so it functions like a self-contained home theater in a box." - CNET, February 15, 2008
"Why the Everything Radio? This beefy little unit is an AM/FM clock radio with a CD/DVD player and iPod dock in one unit........As a radio, the i765 is a good one......As an iPod dock, the i765 beats most on the market.....The i765 is an entire entertainment system in one."- e-Gear, March 10, 2008
"There's a reason to wait until mid-December before writing the annual 'Best of iPod Gear of the Year' article. This year the Cambridge SoundWorks i765 is proof that waiting the few extra weeks will ensure no top products are missed," - Boston Herald Gift Guide, December 17, 2007.
What Reviewers Say About Our SoundWorks Radio LineSoundWorks Radio CD 745i - Ranked as the best performing iPod speaker system by THAT leading consumer publication, December 2007.
Rated a Best Buy. - Consumers Digest Magazine
"...it distinguished itself in other ways as well. First, while all the other radios have a simple auxiliary input for adding a portable-music player, the CD 745i comes with a dedicated dock that doesn't just let you jack in and charge an iPod, but controls it via the radio's remote as well." - MSN, March 15, 2007
"Sumptuous sound from a small system." - Wired, April 2007
"The SoundWorks Radio 735i is one heck of a tabletop sound system, capable of filling even a good-sized room with clear, clean, natural sound from your iPod or its AM/FM radio." - iPod Observer, April 2007
"The Radio CD 745i is probably the ultimate iPod accessory." - Don Lindich, Audio Critic
"For a small table top system with stereo sound that's true "high fidelity," good enough to serve as your core music system, look no further than the new Cambridge SoundWorks 745i." - Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News
"iPod clock radios are a dime a dozen, but renowned speaker maker Cambridge SoundWorks supercharged theirs with beefy sound and a built-in CD player. The all-in-one CSW Radio CD 745i has sophisticated looks, thanks to a bevy of on-board controls. We got our hands on one and nightstand-tested it for a week, and it was no letdown." - CrunchGear, May 22, 2007
"It's our Best Overall." - The Wall Street Journal, April 9, 2004
"Thanks to its built-in powered subwoofer, the CD 740 pumps out bass that stays solid even when you crank up the volume. Sweet." Wired Magazine, April 2004
"...the CD 740 is less like a table radio than an extremely compact music system - and a pretty sophisticated one. You could spend twice as much (or more) on a conventional stereo minisystem and come away far less satisfied." - Sound & Vision, April 2004
"The SoundWorks Radio CD 740 is the perfect blending of form and function into one slick package. With the built-in powered subwoofer, the sound is not only booming, but incredibly clear. The bass is so resonant. The wide-dispersion speaker makes you believe you're hearing something that is much bigger than it actually is." - Play Magazine, March 2004
"Yes, there are twin alarms on-board. But otherwise there's nothing clock radio-like
about the Cambridge SoundWorks Radio CD 740. Heavy construction is key to the box's well-defined and sweetly musical sound Ð the load shared and shaped by two speakers and a separately powered, downfiring bass speaker." - eGear
"It's a sleek work of art that matches up squarely at nearly half the price to its main competitor. The Cambridge SoundWorks 740's performance and price make it an unbeatable bargain." - Globe & Mail (Canada)

"A solid A." - Philadelphia Daily News, October 9, 2003
"There is reverence, awe and delight when listening to the new Cambridge SoundWorks Radio CD 740 tabletop unit. In sum, it is remarkable and equal to (and in some cases better than) a home stereo. This is a stunning combination of technology, craftsmanship and innovation. One listen will seal the deal. Music lovers will jump for joy after receiving this gift." - Boston Herald, November 2003
"A well-designed, high-performing sound system that could fill many roles in a home." -
Bill Lammers, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"The best-sounding table radio ever." - Home Theater Magazine, December 2003
"Finally, a clock radio that plays both audio and MP3 CDs. Think of the Radio CD 740 as a 12-pound bedside stereo with a snooze alarm. Back panel inputs are handy for connecting to portable MP3 players or pumping the audio for your TV and DVD player in your bedroom or dorm room." - PC Magazine, December 2003
"When it comes to warm, rich sounds, this deceptively high-tech rig can't be beat, thanks to its marvelous speakers and a built-in powered subwoofer that takes up nearly half of the cigar-box-size cabinet." - Entertainment Weekly, May 23, 2003
"The beefy SoundWorks 730 Radio from Cambridge SoundWorks combines high-quality speakers with a built-in subwoofer to produce the kind of rich, warm sound you don't expect from a table radio.
