Summary: What a CD Player!!!
Review: I bought this off here about two weeks ago, and am amazed. I had been eyeing it for a while, and decided finally I'd buy it to replace my half working old one. So I ordered it. I got it a few days later, and I was extremely impressed. The sound is as good as it gets. The G Protection allows me to jog with it, and absolutely no skipping. Also, as an added bonus, the remote allows you to put the CD player in a backpack and you can change tracks, see what track you are on with the LCD Screen and even during the night with the backlighting. All the features are on the remote that you would find on the CD player itself.A few small problems. This thing drains batteries faster than many others. It comes with that optional battery case that you can plug into the side, but it still drains the batteries quickly. I found that if you turn off the feature of the LCD Screen lighting up every time you hit a button, you save a lot more battery time. Another small problem is the screen on the remote. The second day I got it, I scratched the screen inadvirtantly. It seems to get scuffed or scratched rather easily. It didn't make it hard to see the screen, but was very annoying. These problems, however, aren't important enough for me to go down to a four. It is just a great CD player.

Summary: nice package, ok sound
Review: I have to admit I read all the reviews of this CD player beforebuying it, and even after I noticed that most people said the soundquality was not that great, I still opted to buy it. I was using anAiwa sports discman before this one, which was huge, and I was hopingto get a very compact discman because I was tired of the size of myprevious CD player. So I was a little prepared for just OK sound.People were right, the bass boost function is worthless, but I don'tthink the sound is THAT bad. Actually, it's pretty good up till aboutthe 6.5-7 volume settings. (but once you get above that, the soundsgets a little staticky) I didn't care for the headphones that camewith the CD player, but I switched to my own and it was muchbetter. The remote is a wonderful little thing. I love how itlights up, so when I use the CD player in the dark (i.e. in my car) Ican still see what track it's on. And having the remote makes theoverall cord longer. One big issue I have with the player is that ithas a tendency to stop at some tracks and not move on. At first Ithought it was the CD, since it was one I had burned myself. However,on subsequent trials with various other CDs (some of which were notburned but store-bought), the same thing happened. I am not sure whyit does that, but it's very annoying. I must commend Sony on itsG-protection, however. The thing virtually never skips, and thebattery life is amazing! I bought a new 8-pack of batteries before Igot this discman because my old one ate them up, but I have only useda few and I use my discman frequently. I brought the CD player on theplane with me (on a 14-hour flight) and there was still about halfleft in the batteries afterwards. The unit even comes withrechargeables, so you never really have to buy batteries anymore. Ifit weren't for the weird pauses between tracks that happens with myunit, I would totally give it 5 stars. I have one question though:why is the blue one ... more than the silver one at amazon? They'reexactly the same (well, except for the color, of course).

Summary: I'm very disappointed in Sony
Review: I needed a new CD Walkman, so immediately looked to Sony. The construction and features of this model are nicely designed and well thought out. I really like the backlit display, but don't care much for the junk headphones supplied. Now for the bad.....First, the silkscreening of the words above the buttons is all crooked (the display model did not exhibit this problem). I'm disappointed Sony let this slip by in the factory. As far as the sound is concerned, I can't imagine a CD player sounding any worse (thought I'm sure some of the $29 players are worse.....cringe). I compared the sound of the D-EJ815 to my old Sony D-777, and the 777 wins hands down. The D-EJ815 bass response is muddy and weak, the midrange sounds very compressed, and to judge the overall sound I'd say its about the same as a cassette walkman with an average quality recorded tape. Keep in mind that you will likely not notice a problem if you listen through the junky headphones supplied, but for those people who will spend $100+ on headphones, or choose to connect this CD player to a stereo system, forget it....move on...this one is not for you. Worse is the fact that I listened to the higher end D-EJ915 in the store, using my headphones, and noticed it also sounds relatively poor compared to my D-777. Must be either the G-Protection memory causing the compressed sound, or the cheapy laser pickup unit in these newer players. Its clear that Sony is cutting costs. Have not had a chance to listen to a D-EJ01, since no one in Miami has it in stock. I'm not convinced this will sound any better, I'm thinking that the extra cost for this unit will be absorbed in the front loading mechanism and the metal body. Doubt Sony focused on better sound quality. What am I to do?? Maybe Panasonic??

Summary: nice looking portable
Review: I reckon, when it comes to portables, manufacturers like Sony have the following as their priority (listed in order of diminishing priority): #1. Good looking and light; 2. Survive shocks; 3. Long battery life; 4. Sound quality. On the first 3, Sony achieved 100%. However on the last one, it's an embarrassment. The highest non-clipping volume is too low, it'd midrange frequency response is underemphasised. My 6-7 year old Technics portable sounds so much better than this new state-of-the-art player. Don't bother connecting anything but cheap ear-buds to this unit.

Summary: A Great Buy!
Review: I spent a lot of time trying to decide whether to get the Sony DEJ815 CD Walkman or one of the other top-of-the-line discmans out there. After much consideration, I went with the DEJ815 and I haven't regretted it since. The pros of this little discman are endless-- I am very satisfied with it, it has never let me down in any area, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's considering buying a new discman. First of all, it looks great- very sleek, light and thin. The controls are well laid out. The sound is very good- especially with the Mega Bass. The headphones are a bit cheap, but those can easily be replaced. The backlit remote is convenient for controlling your discman while running. As for skipping- IT WON'T SKIP. I've shaken it, dropped it on the floor, jogged with it, and it has never skipped. I replaced the rechargeable batteries for a two-week trip with 2 normal AA batteries, and after playing 15+ full CDs on it, the battery was still full. With the rechargeable batteries it will last a few days, then can be charged back up to full within 2 hours, which saves a lot of money on batteries. The CD to MD text transfer is useful for me when I record on to my minidisc player, but most people don't need that feature. The included rubber carry case w/handle is great for use while jogging. As for the other popular discmans out there-- the DEJ915 has an impractical design, the DEJ611 is OK but does not match up to the DEJ815 in quality. I am very satisfied with this discman. I recommend spending the extra money on this one instead of buying a cheap one then having to replace it later when it breaks. It looks great, it sounds great, has long battery life and plenty of extras. Overall, it's a solid product and well worth the price.

Summary: Horrible. Sony Has Hit the Skids.
Review: I spent the extra money on this CD player because my old one had been a Sony and the sound quality was excellent. But the sounds that came out of this thing were unreal. Terrible, like listening to a Sparkomatic. It has three settings: regular (muddy), mid-bass (muddier), and mega-bass (mud with vibrating headphones). My old one sounded five times better than this. Sony has really skimped on quality parts here. All of their resources must be going into their Trinitron products and the Playstation 2. Trust me, don't waste your money.

Summary: This is THE portable cd player.
Review: I was taken by pleasant surprise when I bought this fine product. You literally can't skip the cd - and the battery life is super long. It is also very slim and attractive. Get it! It's worth the price!

Summary: CD Player-MUST HAVE!
Review: If you are in the market for a Portable CD Player, then look no further! Everything that you would possibly need is right here, and in a very attractive package too! If you are willing to spend the [money], then you will definetly be getting your money's worth...the 815 has 76 hours of playback time (with the external battery pack), it has almost NO skipping at all (I ran up and down stairs for three minutes shaking it VERY HARD, and it skipped once, and only for 1/2 a second. It also has a great feature for Minidsic and Digital enthusiasts out there...yes of course, I am talking about the Digital Optical Cable output on this bad boy! Wow, this player absolutely takes my heart away! I feel like I can fall in love again after using this one! Buy it!

Summary: Sony, Sony, Sony.
Review: If you're a big guy like me, you'll need to buy new headphones with a longer cord. The cord on the headphones makes it impossible for big folk to hook this thing on their shorts or slacks. The only other alternative is to put the unit in your top pocket, which is impossible because the unit is too big. The volume on this unit, even when at 100%, just isn't enough. My other gripe with this thing is the "bass" boost. What a joke! All the bass boost does is cloud the image of the music. This includes jazz, classical, metal and 50's tunes. The bass boost is just hogwash.
