Review on Panasonic SL-SW940 Shockwave Water Resistant Portable CD Player (Blue): The Ultimate Outdoor Music Companion by Jason Connolly

I used this CD player for the first time last night and was completely blown away by how TERRIBLE this piece of shit sounded. If you hate music or don't know what you're talking about, then this CD player is for you. I've played 3 different CDs on this thing and they all sounded awful (1 was Foo Fighters, 1 was Fischerspooner and one was a CD-R I made). On almost every song on every CD, the vocals were completely incomprehensible, leaving only the music (which was almost entirely in the treble, and the "Bass Boost" feature on this thing is a joke, it has that works like nothing ). And as for the CD-R, I've been careful to find a player that can play these CDs, and yes, well, it will play them - for example, you press the play button and it does something, but like that wide sound - it makes all the songs sound like they're playing in a tank of water (all rinse and silence with little electronic squeaks and beeps - and I've listened to this particular CD many times in my stereo and car and it sounded good, until I put it in this shitty thing). So if you just want a CD player that looks good on the shelf this is it, but otherwise you might as well take $60 out of your wallet and throw it in the trash (oh, and don't forget shipping ).
