Description:

Want to take your tunes along when you head outside? The Sony Sports Discman, wrapped in a heavy duty yellow shell, is rough and ready, yet delivers the crisp, clean tones of refined digital sound. With its raised, rubber-coated buttons and rigid contours, the player has a solid feel, but is still surprisingly light. Internal gaskets offer water resistance and protection from sand and dust. A rugged silver buckle snaps the case tightly shut. The Sports Discman features the same variety of playback functions as its less outdoorsy cousins: Random Music Sensor (RMS); skip, repeat, volume limiter (AVLS); and two settings for extra bass. Now for the big question, what about CDs that skip when you're on the go? In answer, Sony's come up with Electronic Shock Protection (ESP2). You can't bang this thing like a drum--in fact, you can't run all day with it bouncing on your hip, either--but this model is a lot less likely to hiccup during movement than its predecessors. Note: the sporty stereo headphones that are included sound somewhat distorted when the bass is boosted. Two AA batteries are required for operation. --George Laney
