Summary: go easy on it
Review: I managed to break the thing inside of 3 months. In fairness to the product, I did treat it a bit rough- hiking, camping, ect. Here's the deal, this model has a wheel for volume control instead of buttons. At some point I either set my bag down too hard or just packed everything too tight and both the volume wheel and the headphone jack sort of collapsed into the unit. It still works but the sound quality is VERY poor and of course the volume stays at one level only. Just a warning to people who treat thier stuff like I do! Some good points: Before it broke the thing sounded great (not with the original headphones of course), it NEVER skipped, it is very small and light, and the battery life is very long- around 30 hours.

Summary: a great CD player
Review: I recently bought this cd player (i got it at a slightly lower price but this one is quite fair) and i am very impressed. It has a very sleek, cool style. It is fairly thin and light though it doesn't feel very sturdy as the top wiggles a bit. I was a bit surprised by this but it works fine and it hasn't caused a problem. I really like the CD/tape adapter for the car and the cigarrette lighter adapter. They work great and are really useful. I also really liked the backlit display which makes it really easy to see no matter what the outer lighting. It shows how much battery life you have left and I was astounded that it only took two batteries and that the lasted for up to 32 hours! It also comes with an AC adapter so you dont even have to use the batteries. The headphones that come with it are very basic and i do not like them but they are really about the same as any other you would get with a cd player. The last thing it comes with is the leather case. I do not particularly like it because it makes it hard to operate and does not fit very well. You also cant remove cds with it on but it is useful if you are planning on carrying it while walking or something. Overall, this is a very impressive cd player for what averages out to be a great price. Then throw in Sony's quality and reliability and youve got a perfect cd player! Easy listening!

Summary: Loved It Till It Crashed
Review: Ok, i got this for my b-day (September) last year. It's May now. The player was awesome at the beginning. I loved the resume funtion, how light it was, the AM/FM, etc. Sometime between then and February, through no fault of mine, the volume stopped working. The player was jammed on a neutral volume which would not change. Later, around March, I lost the sound in my right headphone except when I twisted the cord a certain way. This was also for no apparent reason. By now I have completely lost the sound in it. This all happened in a little more than half a year. It would be more expensive to fix the Discman than to buy a new one. So here I am searching for a new one.Trust me on this: Maybe it was my fault, but for me this Discman definitely did not work.

Summary: Very good with only minor complaints
Review: This player is really good. The display is lighted, and it's bright enough that you can see the function keys in the dark. It includes a handy carrying case for when you run or skate.A couple of minor complaints: 1. When the player is inside the case, the only keys that can be reached are the play, stop, fast forward, and rewind. That's slightly annoying. 2. The display does not remain lighted if the power source is from the batteries. 3. The slide latch can be difficult to operate, especially if you already have a CD in one hand. Other than that, this is a really good buy, and the skip protection is just excellent. I have ridden my bike down a very rough dirt raod and I never heard it skip that whole time I was on that road.
