Summary: Simply Mindblowing
Review: Ok, All I Have To Say Is Two Words, Simply Mindblowing! I Bought A Panasonic Shockwave SL-SW870 Two Years Ago, And This CD Player Is My Favorite One I Ever Had. I Am Now Shopping Around For A New One Because The Only Problem With This CD Player Is That The Latches On The Sides For Keeping The Lid Closed.. Are Easily Breakable. But, Besides These Things Being Easily Breakable, This CD Player Is Top Of The Line. It Wont Skip With Antishock On, And The VMSS Is Simply Amazing! People Claim The Headphones Are Uncomfortable, But I Dont Have A Problem With Them, And With The VMSS, I Wouldnt Care If They WERE Uncomfortable! Once I Used The VMSS, All Headphones I Tried On Were Nothing Compared To This! This CD Player Is Quite Costly, But It Doesnt Get Any Better.

Summary: Shockwave thats truly X-Treme
Review: Put simply, this thing is the best CD player I have ever seen, I live in a fairly major town. So what this means is my meditations are usually interrupted, until now, between the headphones and the VMSS it's private, Uninterrupted, and very immersing. Once it's adjusted close you're eyes, between the sounds and feel, you're guaranteed to get into the music, at least I do ;) It works, humor me you will not be sorry.

Summary: Wow at first, then it irritated me
Review: The headphones are my first concern, because if it really hurts the first time you wear them, then we got a problem. I wore them for about two weeks and it still hurts. And the sad part was whenI accidently pull it, OUCH! I eventually sold them and bought earphones, sonow there's no problem.Pros : -Great sound -Very solid body -Never skipped when it was not too used -Bass -Remote on the headphones Cons : -Useless "hold" fonction(No accidents with rubber buttons) -Rather cheap locks -Batterie compartment inside it This is the coolest Cd player I've seen so far, just because the headphones vibrates(well, behind your neck)! If you can afford this one and some rechargeable batteries, BUY IT if the headphones aren't a pain. And when you finally dislike the VMSS, just turn it to BASS.

Summary: Excellent! This thing sets the standard.
Review: This is probably the most drool-worthy portable CD player in existence. I feel lucky to own one. The construction of the unit is sturdy, with a silver metal/blue plastic exterior, a neat little display screen, and cute little squidgy gray buttons. The metal exoskeleton makes it much more durable, and small rubber covers for the plugs (also squidgy) keep water and/or grime out when the plugs are not in use. The batteries are housed snugly inside the player, so you have to open the unit and take out your CD if you want to change the batteries. This is a good thing because it means that if you drop the player the batteries cannot fall out. The unit features an extremely effective anti-shock device (with 40 seconds of memory). However, the player does not skip much unless you are running or jolting it. When walking or when riding in a car or bus, I hardly ever experience skips. When the anti-shock is on, the unit never, ever skips. Great stuff. The unit features three play modes--normal, resume, and random--the toggle switch for whom is housed neatly inside the player, underneath the CD. The player also features the usual repeat all or repeat 1 modes, as well as a memory/recall system. A nifty orange rubber hold switch, nestled in an indentation that prevents it from being turned unintentionally, keeps accidental button pushes from changing your settings, turning the player on and off, and so on. The volume wheel (which, it is worth noting, is not affected by the hold switch) is made of thick, tough plastic, and is screwed in tightly but still turns easily. It shouldn't break. Silver plastic clips keep the unit from popping open. Although the clips are sturdy, they could conceivably break if you dropped the player hard enough. For a CD player of this price, though, a case would be a worthy investment. Case Logic is my personal favorite as far as cases are concerned. The S-XBS (extra bass) function is very effective. Even without it, the sound is crispy clear. Deftones has never sounded better. Which brings us to the headphones and the VMSS (Virtual Motion Sound System) feature. This is what really sets this already-great player apart from the crowd. The headphones have a very unique design (which tends to draw admirers), wrapping around the back of the wearer's neck and folding up into the ears (see pics). They fit everyone I know who has tried them so far (including me and my average-sized head and neck, my weight-lifting friend's big head and bull-neck, and my petite friend's child-sized head and neck) quite comfortably. The earpieces are not the most comfortable in the world, but do not hurt (especially if you use the included pads, which I don't). The VMSS is incredible! It's like wearing a miniature subwoofer on the back of your head. I use it all the time, although you can turn it off and use the regular or S-XBS modes if you don't like it. I have let many people try the phones out (because they invariably ask about them), and all of them get this fascinated little smile that grows larger and larger as the bass kicks in. Great! All headphones should have this feature; it really brings music to life. (Remember, however, that the VMSS will only work with the player itself. The headphones are not compatible with other plugs, but you can plug other headphones in if you want.) The VMSS vibration level is adjustable via the main volume wheel on the player. A small, inconspicuous volume wheel on the left side of the headphones, beneath the three buttons (see pics), controls volume only. The aforementioned buttons allow you to play, stop, fast forward, rewind, and turn the power on or off. Very convenient. If you are looking for a new, durable, unique, all-purpose portable CD player, and you don't need a radio built in, this is the way togo. ... Long live VMSS! I'm in love! Arriba! Go check your piggy bank right now!

Summary: This player is AWESOME!
Review: This player is sooooooo cool. Right when I got it I started testing it. I would run around with it and I would shake it. It never skipped a beat. The one thing that is misleading is that it doesn't have a built in battery pack. You have to buy that separately. Other than that the player is awesome. After I got it and showed all my friends what functions it had, they all wanted one too. Now they're raving to all their parents that it is the best and since they are in sports and stuff it's good for them. I do sports so this player is good for me because it doesn't skip. I would totally recommend it to anyone.

Summary: One of the most amazing CD players today!
Review: When I was considering purchasing a CD player to replace my old Panasonic one, I began looking originally at Panasonic. Being a picky purchaser, I need something that looks good in its design, as well as performs well. Panasonic has a reputation (along with Sony and Aiwa) of being the best portable CD player manufacturer. I ended up going with one of Panasonic's Shockwave CD Players. Amazon's unique feature of the reviews, helped the greatest. Looking among the various SLSW CD Players, I had my eyes set on the SLSW880 from the beginning. People do tell the truth. The headphones hurt my head and ears after 5 minutes of putting them on, and apparently, my VMSS didn't even work. Besides that, the sound quality produced is exceptional. The durability is quite amazing. Being metal, it can take a large amount of beating and dropping, yet still keep playing, definitely living up to Panasonic's name. The latches [aren't very good] quality, but for the time being, they do work. The Anti-Shock is AMAZING! With my old Panasonic, I could shake it up and down and it would not skip, but extremely vigorous dropping and beating would cause a skip. With the Anti-Shock on, nothing will stop it from continuous play. I could swear you could throw it against a wall and it would probably continue to play smoothly (even though it might not last much longer!). The buttons are sometimes hard to press in order to be able to actually do what you want it to do, but besides that, the overall playing operations and "button pushing" is exceptional. Only problem is the apparent "EQ" is actually only S-XBS (Super Bass) and the VMSS operation. This is a minus. Other than that, the programming, automatic turn-off and many other playing features are excellent. The volume button and hold buttons on the under side may be very large and awkward, but ad to its durability and overall performance and quality. The rubber covers that fit in the extra holes when not in use are excellent features to keep water and dust out and also increase the durability and quality. They make break off after long use, but are excellent and will stay on for a long time. I think Panasonic has done the best job it could ever do in creating the most durable and highest quality CD player on the market today. Its design appeals to everyone in shiny silver and awesome blue colors. Its sound quality lives up to Panasonic's audio devices name. The playing operation "works" and "works well". Overall, I think this is one of the best portable CD players on the market today and is probably the most durable player to date. It DEFINITELY lives up to Panasonic's name.
