Sony D-E456CK Discman Portable CD Player

Summary: didn't work that well for me-
Review: After one trip in my backpack, which i'll admit is pretty hazardous, my D-E456CK bit the dust, and was, or so they guy at the repair shop told me, more or less unsalvageable. Perhaps my unit was flawed, and the model itself is more reliable, but i'd be wary about buying one of these if I were you.

Summary: Absolutely Fabulous
Review: I actually bought the D-E465CK model based on the reviews I read here on Amazon.com. I've had the CD player for a couple months now and it's still working brilliantly. It really doesn't even require the ESP function since it is very stable on its own, despite the mishandling of a rowdy teenager such as myself. The backlight display is a heavenly feature, especially when you're getting hyped for a night at a club and you can actually READ the track numbers in the dark. I use all the extras like the different programming methods (shuffle, repeat, order, select) and the two different bass-boost choices. I've had NO problems with this CD player skipping, even as I drove through the pothole-ridden DC roads (which are absolutely horrendous and probably the WORST on the East Coast). It also comes with bits of velcro so it will stay put in your car. Also, I should mention the perpetuity of the design - a sleek and minimal silver. I can definitely see myself using this CD player for years without getting embarrassed about the tacky sport colours which will go out of fashion in another 4 months. The price is impressively low for such a terrific machine, and com'on... who doesn't trust Sony?

Summary: Wow. Quite the amazing product.
Review: I bought the D-E206CK, which seems to be just like this one, but without the backlit display I believe, and I am impressed with how well it is shock proof. The case is well designed and looks and feels great. The only thing is the headphones; they are uncomfortable, but in all, this is a wise purchase!

Summary: Like it so far, as long as it holds up.
Review: I bought the D-E446CK, which is the same things as this one just without the rechargeable batt and backlit display. You can walk with this discman and use it in the car without the ESP2 turned on, it even didn't skip with ESP off at the back seat of the school bus over very rough roads. Even with ESP off it somehow still has shock protection because you can shake it and play will not be interrupted at all. I like all of the features on this discman and it looks really awesome. It has more features than Panasonic I just hope it lasts as long as they do.

Summary: this unit is awesome!
Review: I bought this cd player a month ago and it works great. Even without the esp on it rarely skips. I use it in the car without it on and it never skips! I love the resume play. Panasonic's resume play only goes to the song you were on. Sony's goes to the exact second. I've dropped it multiple times and it still works great.

Summary: I keeps going and going
Review: I owned this cd player for about 3 weeks. I can play this cd player in my pocket with out esp^2 on and its pretty stable, i had it on the back of the school bus and on a boat going 20 + knots with almost no skipping it plays my cd-r with no problem (blue or gold bottoms) the back light only turns on when u plug an alternative power source that battery charger is great!

Summary: Very happy with this cd player!
Review: Recently I purchased this CD player, and it is a wonderful upgrade from my 1994 Discman. This Cd player is virtually UNSKIPABLE! It survived a 3 hour bus ride for my senior class trip. I used a adaptor i got from Radio Shack so i could hook up two headsets. My best friend wanted to listen too, he is a diehard RCA fan and laughed when he sawmy Discman. Well by the end of the trip he was amazed by the Groove setting, easy use but more importantly it never skiped, even without using the ESP. We even snuck it onto a ride, it was simlar to "free fall" its a 150foot drop, it did not skip once. Needless to say, he is now looking on to this line of SONY cd players. Just incase your still doubting the purchase, trust me its worth it! Suprizing nobody said anything about how light it is. It is also set up well the buttons are not only easy to read, they are well spaced and clearly marked. I recommend this cd player to anyone who loves music.
