The MHC-EC98Pi is a mini hi-fi stereo system from Sony. Featuring a CD player, an AM/FM tuner with 30 presets, two 265W speakers, an iPod dock, 3.5mm auxiliary input, and 7 preset EQ settings, the MHC-EC98Pi can read home-burned MP3 CDs as well as the regular factory pressed CDs you buy at the store. The MHC-EC98Pi's remote control can also control any docked iPod. Intended for those who listen to their music loudly on in larger spaces, the MCH-EC98Pi is stronger than the smaller models, seperating the subwoofer from the normal speaker enclosures to increase the amount of sound without distorting it. There are no other differences.
