THIS CD PLAYER IS SO COOL!

THIS IS THE BEST CD PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE SOUND IS GREAT BUT YOU CAN BUY SONY HEADPHONES. THEY SOUND MUCH BETTER. SAH I HAVE AN OLD SHOCKWAVE SO IT LOOKS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. I think this is the best CD player you can get but SONY WALKMAN, WITCH II have.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Modern

Stylish, reliable, good sound, solid, a little big

This player does the job. It resists quite a bit of water (that is, unless you submerge it in water, of course), doesn't frizz (at least in my experience), delivers pretty decent sound quality, and is fairly durable. Me maybe that the size is big compared to most CD players in this price range. But overall, if you don't mind a slightly larger turntable, that's great - I use it for my car.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Not bad

Best Options: Portable audio and video

I bought this CD player three months ago. If you are considering buying this you should first get yourself a nicer pair of headphones, the ones that come with them are just killer on your ears. Secondly, within a month of receiving the locking mechanism broke and now opens haphazardly - an annoying hindrance. Of course it hit this player pretty hard - I'm not the nicest master. But in general it looks pretty crappy - it's plastic, not metal. Also (side note) the volume is really annoying, it…

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Worst CD player I have ever used

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,

Pros
  • build quality
Cons
  • clarity

The best line of CD players on the market

I just bought this CD player today and I love it. I am impressed with the NO SKIP technology and its price. I had another Panasonic SL Shock Wave that I bought for Christmas 1999 and used until yesterday. Small gadget survived 4 years HEAVY use (PENALTY): Daily use, plus sand from beach, desert, water, lots of water (not submerged) I like to listen when I'm in the bath, I would even take a Turkish bath on top of that , Yes. it worked in temperatures above 45C. It fell hard on concrete, probably

Pros
  • Easy to set up
Cons
  • Some flaws
