Review on 🎡 Sony D-NE326CK CD Walkman Car Kit with MP3/ATRAC Compatibility by Duane Mann

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Everything is fine when it plays, but it's poorly designed and illogical

I have several problems with this player: 1) The case opening slider is on the side of the player, located where the cables exit , and it ends up being a hard-to-open player. 2) The buttons are too small. They appear to be intended for babies or people with unusually small fingers. 3) Sometimes it turns off for no apparent reason. I turn it on, then wait for the first track, and instead of playing it sometimes turns off. 4) When I press PLAY twice in a row, I get a continuous high-pitched beep at real volume. even. It's too loud and annoying. 5) The velcro is not very sticky and hasn't managed to stick to the dashboard yet. I plan to use a 30 minute epoxy to attach the velcro straps. 6) Fast forward only goes 2 times which means it takes more time than necessary to accelerate through the track. Overall, this design gets an F. Its quality is way below what I expected from Sony. It actually plays discs very well, but its usability is severely limited by poor design choices. Addendum: Now it doesn't play anymore. The ribbon adapter appears to be broken, although I can't see where. My car radio rejects it now. At least I can still listen to normal cassettes.
