Summary: Sony is keeping tradition as the best with this player
Review: When my old Panasonic broke down, I needed to find a cheap CD player that could perform. This was it. Even the cheapest Sonys wont let you down. Here's the low-down-Good thing(s)-
1) Sound is incredible. The 2-step mega bass is the best bass boost I have ever seen. It competes with my JVC powered subwoofers at home. Also, digital volume can go very loud, and music is very clear.
2) Player is durable. This is basically true of all Sonys, they will take your abuse. No other brand can take punishment like a Sony.
3) Tough laser. You can punch this thing 4 times with the esp OFF and it wont skip. This is a trend that has kept up since before skip protection existed.
4) Impossible-to-beat-ESP. I can't get it to skip! It takes 10 seconds to skip the thing with the esp off- with it on I can't get it to skip, even running.
5) CD Playback. What I mean by this is how it can play scratched CDs. It does it much better than anything. Even my Office Space CD, with a gash through song 11, will still play [but i dont recommend playing skipped parts.]
6) Weight. Although kind of heavy, you can barely notice it is there if you weigh enough =). No complaints at all here Bad thing(s)- 1) Options. You can't even program tracks on this, but for the money it makes sense.
2) Size. It is fairly wide, but more long and slim, making it good to fit in a large-sized cargo pocket. Not much of a complaint there. In summary, this is the best CD player I have bought yet. If you have the money, I would suggest going up to the Sonys with LED remotes but this will work just as well.
