Summary: Panasonic ROCKS!
Review: This CD player is wonderful. It never skips (unless you like to pound it with a sledge hammer!) due to the Anti-skip Memory II, the head phones sound great and are very comfortable, and the design is awesome. Some reviewers complained that the voices sounded fine, but the music didn't; that's true only if you don't push the head phones all of the way in. If you do this, then it sounds great. Another thing that is quite cool about this is that if you use re-chargable batteries, then you can re-charge them with the CD player. It comes with a plug-in that allows you to re-charge your batteries while still in the player! Another thing that come with it is a belt with a spot for the CD player. Excellent for when you go jogging, walking, or biking! It never skips! There is only one flaw that I have found though; the display isn't the easiest thing to read...But overall, this is an awesome portable CD player. It's is great for joggers, people who accidently drop/abuse their electronics (the clumsy ones...like myself), and anyone in need of a top notch CD player! You're going to love it! Enjoy!

Summary: Good
Review: This is a really good player. It's sounds cool, looks O.K., and spins my C.D.'s well. I hardly ever skips, and I use it for my daily bike rides. I got it from a Panasonic autherised reseller for $159.99, a bit more that Amazon's price. I have one question. Has anyone seen those totally awesome Panasonic BrainShaker extream C.D. players? I looking around for one of those. Buy it if you can find it.

Summary: The best sound!
Review: This is one of the best cd players out there in the market, but flaws always come with products. Flaw#1 : After my friend used it every day for eught months, it just would not play copied cd's anymore. Mine is starting to skip a bit, but it's probably the cd. Flaw#2 : I was hesitating before buying it. It's bigger than the other cd players and more heavier... I compared in stores and the retailer said that it had a solid design, so when you'll drop it, it still plays smoothly. Flaw#3 : It's old. Flaw#4 : It's still expensive, but in Canada, it's cheaper(with the exchange rate of course)! Flaw#5 : I don't trust companies telling me how many hours it could play with only a pair of batteries(they proved it when tehy played it on a table at a temperature and using the best batteries).

What I liked about it was... -To be able to recharge batteries with it... but you couldn't be using it at the same time. -It doesn't skip, just trust me on this one. Jogging with it wasn't a problem for me. -When it gets extremely hot, cd players are not supposed to be out in the sun for even a few minutes, but this one has more protection, just don't try it outside, please. The heat will deform some parts of all cd players, so don't expose it too much in the sun.

I suggest it if you go jogging or travel a lot very often. From what I've seen, this is the most popular.

Summary: Maybe the best?
Review: This is one of the best players that I have ever bought! I loved it because it hardly ever skipped, and had great quality sound, and of course the cool design! Oh... and yesterday (3/24/00) I dropped it and do you know what ahppened?... It just kept playing!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent machine for jogging and other light excercise
Review: This machine lives up to its billing. It delivers high quality sound, without skipping during normal usage. The only drawbacks are that it must be used with the neoprene belt, which is included. The belt is adjustable, closes with a backpack type clip, and fits snug when new. However, the neoprene belt started ripping after less than six months of use. Also, the belt must be worn in front when jogging. If kept on the hip, the machine would skip. All in all, it is the only machine that I've ever been able to jog with, and worth owning.

Summary: The free car adapter offer has expired
Review: Tho' on the package it says free car adapter, the coupon must be mailed before May 31, 1999, so forget it. I have a call in to Panasonic. Pain. Would have given more stars but for that!!!

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: Well, I know I did good on this buy. As soon as I got it out of the box i started testing it. First I tried shaking it. Then I hopped with it in my hands. After that i jumped down the stairs then finally i Jumped on my trampoline and did a back flip. And get this not ONCE did it skip. The only problems with this is that the headphones are not very good. Also, you must double check to make sure that that the headphones are plugged in ALL the way or else it will sound like the music is underwater. Over all this is a great product and I definatally reccomend that you get it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic CD portable player
Review: What a great CD player -- the sound is incredible and I especially like the belt holder. There is never any skip in the music, ever. Headphones are great also. So happy with this purchase.
