Fairly good CD player

I got this CD player last summer (a year ago) and it's still as good as it was then. I got an older CD player from them years ago and it's still in the same condition. ESP is good at it, but I found it didn't skip that much even with ESP turned off. The bad thing is that I found that it won't read CDs I've burned and it can't read the next track on burned CDs. My old one could, so if you make a living off custom CDs like some people do, I'd ask other people to find one that does. Also, it tends

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Expensive

Not something I would buy again

Sony makes a pretty crappy portable CD player. I got one for Christmas a year and a half ago, and it might as well be dead. I feel very good about it, but somehow :A.) It jumps excessively B.) The right side of the headphone doesn't work C.) Can't read the disc half the time D.) Even if I put in a BRAND NEW CD, and the drive doesn't work, don't knock it STILL jumps. E.) I'm listening to a CD and sometimes the CD player just stops for no reason (fresh batteries mind you) and A LOT happens! While

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Quality

Used but looks like new, very minor signs of wear.

I use headphones to record meditations. I had this item when they first came out but it was stolen from me. This was priced right. The battery compartment does not work, but the power adapter is included. Anyway, I had no intention of using batteries. Gave 5* for battery life - because when my original unit was new I never had to change them. Also, there were no headphones in the kit, but I already had them. I also have the original owner's manual that came with mine - it's quite hard to figure

Pros
  • Consistent results in testing
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Good player. value at this price.

This player looks great and sounds great. It's a lot slimmer than it looks in the photos. The sound quality is excellent. The included headphones sound great, but hey, maybe it's just me, but they really keep my ears warm. It's almost like wearing headphones. If I had to offer a suggestion on how to add value/quality to this product I would suggest Sony try other headphones or better yet give online buyers a choice. Besides the sound quality, you also have many options for using the player…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Secret

It works with portable CD players

This Discman does its job well. I bought this to replace a 1994 Panasonic portable CD player and was pleasantly surprised at how much better it is. Battery life is MUCH longer. I didn't really count, but the claimed 16-hour battery life sounds something like that. I used to always use the Panasonic power supply, but I don't even bother with this discman. ESP works great to prevent jumping and even without ESP it rarely jumps under normal conditions (my old player jumped all the time, especially

Pros
  • . All right!
Cons
  • There are flaws
