Sony D-CJ500 Portable CD/MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third CD-MP3 player and my favorite by a long shot. I have also owned a Philips Expanium EXP103 and a Pine D'Music SM200C. This Sony has the fit and finish of the Philips device, but the ID3 tag support of the Pine device.
Pros:
* Battery life. Sony claims 24 hours. I only use it for 4-6 hours at a time and in doing so I've only depleted 25% of the battery so it seems about right.
* FAST startup. It is about 10 seconds from the time you put the CD in to the time it actually starts playing. Usually MP3-CD players with ID3 tag support take much much longer.
* Great ID3 tag support. You can view the title, artist, and album information.
* Folder navigation (and shows the names of the folders as you are navigating)
* Fantastic anti-skip protection. I was unable to get it to skip without doing something that might actually damage the unit. For MP3s it actually reads the current MP3 into memory and stops spinning the CD. For the most part the CD is not spinning when you play MP3s. I assume this is how they get such long battery life.
* Good repeat options for CDs and MP3s (on MP3s you can repeat just the current folder)
* Intuitive controls
* Size: slim and very light
Cons:
* No "line out" jack (not a big deal for me, but it is for some)
* No backlight for display
* Size: while it is slim it is somewhat longer than the smaller Sony CD Walkmans. It is still smaller than the Philips and Pine players I had.
* Sort of cheap looking, especially the bottom of the unit. Since nobody sees the bottom there's no big deal. For me this is a bonus since I spend a lot of time listing in the airport. If it looks cheap nobody will want to steal it. It's not cheaply made, but it doesn't have the "cool" factor that some of the other Sony CD Walkman products have.

Sony DEJ011 CD Walkman? Portable CD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the best CD players I've used. I listen to a lot of Books on Tape and this player picks up exactly where you leave off even if you stop it to do something else for awhile. It's fairly good about playing scratched CDs and has not jumped while I have been working out in the yard or walking with it. The ear phones are OK but get bit irritating after wearing them for a time. If you are looking for a good CD portable player without the radio, this is it. It is pretty light on battery use also.

GPX PC308B Portable CD Player with 60 Second Anti-Skip Protection (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought a CD player, of another brand, locally, it didn't work at all right out of the box so returned it. Came to amazon and read the reviews of the CD players they carry and was not really impressed with most of them, this one had the best of reviews so I ordered it and it worked like a charm right out of the box. Unfortunately due to my own clumsy handling of the product I happen to drop it 5 times in a 2 day period, 2 of the drops really hard.
The hinge for the top broke on the second hard fall and I thought that I had seen the end of this great little thing----BUT NO--I pushed the play button and it went right on playing as if nothing had happened. It is still playing a week later flawlessly. I ordered a new one which arrived yesterday but haven't unpacked it yet, I am hoping that it is as good as the poor thing that I tried so hard to kill.
Incredible track record for something so abused, I take much better care of it now..love this little machine.

Portable CD Player Case (SBP 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are so many multi-media cases that just don't get it. This one is pretty close to perfect. It is padded to keep the CD player in place and safe. It wraps around your body very snuggly. It has a pocket to hold 2 CDs. And 2 features that blow me away:
1. It has a pocket for your cell phone. For people like me, I need my cell phone, even when I'm exercising.
2. There is a external head phone jack. There is a jack INSIDE the case that connects to your CD Player. You zip up the CD Player and plug your headphones in to the OUTSIDE JACK! Excellent feature!!!

Sony DE441 Discman Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this Discman from Amazon a couple weeks ago as a birthday gift for my mother. I liked the price and it seemed to be of good quality. Once the Discman arrived, I presented it to my mother during a trip to the beach and I ended up listening to it for several hours throughout the trip.
First off, I really liked the headphones. They were very comfortable and gave off good sound. Next, I found that the Discman had many useful features. The ESP was wonderful--it would not skip even when I tried to make it skip. I listened to it for about two hours of driving in a car, with it sitting on the seat, and it did not skip once. I even knocked on the top of it a couple times, gave it a few good jolts, to see if it would skip and it didn't even stutter.
I also really liked the resume feature. If you turn the CD off in the middle of a song and leave that same CD in, then when you turn it back on, it will start up exactly where you left off. Not mindblowing, but nifty and somewhat handy.
All in all, I found the Discman to be a great buy. (And my mom has come to love it as well, as soon as I actually let her use it.) The ESP is top quality, the sound is good, there are plenty of features, the headphones are comfortable, and the price is definitely right. Highly recommended.

RCA RP3013 Personal CD Player with FM Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After looking at the star ratings and comments for various CD players online, and finding most nothing to brag about, I wandered down to a local store and bought the RCA model RP3013 because it was good looking, had great controls, was cheap enough, and it was an RCA. I also liked having an FM tuner. It comes with earbuds, but I just plugged in a set of my Sennheisers....I'm a traditionalist.
After using it for a week, I am more than happy with my choice.
First, the LCD is on top and easy to read. The buttons for play/pause, stop/off, eq, program, forward and back are also on top of the unit in the form of individual buttons in a semi-circle, very straightforward. Two AA's inside, under a cover....easy to install, unless you have sausage links for fingers. Sound is fine, but not the same as you'd expect from your iPod. Better than I expected however, and yes, I also own a large capacity iPod. The FM radio brings in my stations quite well, with an ST indicator to hone in on the best frequency.

Only negative, it has a wheel for volume, and another wheel for radio station selection, although the selected station is visible in the LCD window. I would have preferred electronic volume and tuning buttons. Kind of a surprising omission, but I can live with it. Just not crazy about wheels. Kind of 80's technology.
Anyhow, overall, very intuitive controls, good sound, decent battery life, a good purchase.

Panasonic SL-CT800 Ultra Thin Portable CD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The SL-CT800 is an amazing CD player. Not only is it thin and attractive, but it also has an amzong battery life: up to 120 hrs (unheard of typically for MP3 CD Players). It works very well. The only problem I've had with it is that, unlike iRiver's SlimX 400, the LCD doesn't show international characters (i.e., letters from other languages, like the French "é" or the Spanish "ñ", or Russian Cyrillic, etc.). That's not a major problem though, and does not lessen the overall prestige of this amazing device. A definite A+++!

Panasonic's ultra-slim, MP3- and WMA-friendly SL-CT800 CD player offers the convenience of pocket-slim sizing, remote control operation, and a staggering 80 hours of MP3/WMA file playback. The player's No Skip technology combines rubber, shock-absorbing brushings and an anti-skip digital servo with 48-second memory reserve (100 seconds for MP3) for added back up.Panasonic's Power Last system uses a highly efficient motor with low-load circuitry for drastically improved playback time, helping the player derive up to 120 hours of MP3 file playback from two supplied Ni-MH rechargeable batteries in conjunction with two standard AA batteries (not supplied) in the included (and optional, for general operation) external battery case.This unit's AC adapter uses a magnet to make it easier than traditional adapters to connect and disconnect. Once the magnetic connector is inserted into the adapter, connections and disconnects are effortless. (You may also connect in the conventional way without using the magnet adapter.)A hold function activated from the supplied wired remote control prevents unintended interruptions in playback and saves batteries by negating playback when the player is stopped. You can set it to lock the player, the remote control, or both.The SL-CT800's digital-to-analog converter is Panasonic's single-bit MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) DAC, designed to virtually eliminate distortion and deliver all the subtleties and nuances that make digital recordings so rich.Playback options include 20-track programming, repeat (track or disc), and random play. With the player's moving-light key illumination, the buttons on the side of the unit change color and light up in different sequences, showing both the mode of operation and the remaining battery life.What's in the Box CD player, stereo earbud headphones, wired remote control, external battery pack with two Ni-MHrechargeable batteries, user's manual, and an AC power adapter with magnetic connector.

Sony D-FJ61 Portable CD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This summer, I was telling my eleven-year old niece that it would be nice to have a cd and fm walkman in one. She looked at me like I was so out of it and told me it already existed.
Well, you know Sony would be responsible! I absolutely love my walkman!! I have owned several models over the years and the more Sony builds, the better they become. This model does not skip at all and mine has been through the gym and on hikes! When you get tired of the disc, you just switch over to the tuner. You have the option to program stations (not a new feature of course) and they come in crystal clear. I just love the option, especially when you are planning on extended use.
Very durable as usual and a nice strap to slip over your hand for easy/secure handling.
Sony equates quality!
