Description:
The Sony Discman D-E441's light weight, superior electronic skip protection, and attractive construction are impressive. The portable player also comes with an AC adapter and comfortable headphones. The D-E441's basic features are intuitive and easy to use, and the Discman produces rich and clear sound. What really scored points with us, though, was the host of advanced features, including 22-track programming, resume play, a volume limiter (to protect your hearing), and two repeat modes. The Sony Discman D-E441 also offers two levels of bass enhancement (Mega Bass and Groove), so you can choose between mildly thumping and all-out boombox-style bass. It comes with an audio out, so you can use it with your existing speakers. While the Sony Discman D-E441 can run on two regular AAs, it can also take rechargeable batteries, acting as the charger. The Sony Discman D-E441's most advanced feature is its ESP2 electronic skip protection, which uses a digital signal processor (DSP) to store over 20 seconds of music and play it back in the case of a shock. Although we were impressed with the ESP performance in most cases, it doesn't prevent all shocks--you'll still have trouble using the Sony Discman D-E441 during a heavy jog or run. But overall, the unit offered a good combination of ergonomics, usability, and advanced features. Pros:
- Advanced electronic skip protection
- Lightweight, stylish construction
- Wide array of play modes
- Two extra-bass levels
Cons:
