Summary: Sound problems
Review: After I read the rave reviews and ratings, I decided to buy this product. Besides the display (which is diffucult to read), I also discovered that for some of my music, the sound was actually not up to scratch (the singing part was faded, while on other players it sounded just fine ) - I was very disappointed - and decided to return it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pretty Good Sound but Not So Good Belt
Review: Although the sound from this player is very good, the sport belt is really poor quality. I have used it only five or six times, and already the belt is beginning to tear. It also doesn't stay tight when you are using it, so I have to stop two or three times during my run to re-tighten it. As far as the anti-skipping protection, I have found that it skips about three or four times during my run, and I'm not a very hard runner. Overall, I'd say its just ok. I really thought it would skip a lot less than it does.

Summary: Absolutely Love It!
Review: Couldn't be more pleased. The player is stable, crisp, and the headphones feel weightless yet secure. Truly, money well spent!

Summary: Belt needs work, but CD Player is top notch!
Review: I agree with the sentiments on the neoprene belt...mine is splitting after 2 months of daily 3 mile jogs. However, I can count on one hand the number of times it has skipped, and these were scratched CD's. Great quality player, and the headphones are comfy, too.

Summary: This thing keeps up with me with out missing a beat!
Review: I am a serious runner who has been waiting for the day when I could listen to CDs on my daily runs. Well that day has finally come for me. I love this thing. I've used it for over 50 miles and it has not skipped at all. The batter life is the phenomenal.

The only down side to this machine is the neoprene sports belt that must be used. It is cheaply made. I put my keys in the zipper pouch. After four days the seams split and I lost my keys while on a run. If it were not for the cheap sports belt I would have given this machine five stars.

Summary: Fine Product!
Review: I am impressed by the sound fidelity of panasonic S-SW 505 CD player. Gingerly opening the pack, I found the instructions and the complex facilities were more than I had asked for! Especially the bass setup with XBS, added beauty to percussion instruments.

I did not however care about the neoprene bag which came with a duct-tape tied obtusely around it to hold it and the belt together. It looks so odd to send a fine product along with such an ugly wrapping for an accessory.

But as of the CD player(with an AC adapter with more than 4.5 ft cable, perfect when the battery is low), is great. The screen-display looks like a passive matrix computer screen , and is clear only for small viewing angle. With 3 power sources(AA cells, AC power, and rechargable battery), and a light weight, this CD player has ideas aplenty

Regarding aesthetics, nothing sazzy; while the appearance is made pleasing with the yellow/black front panel. The lock-doors give a measure of security, while it is playing(in case it were to go upside down!). The headphones are great and comfy, and I believe I made a worthy purchase.

Summary: AWESOME durable player
Review: I got this CD player because it was advertised as very durable and I know myself to not exactly be too careful with things I should. Sure enough, the second day I had it, I dropped it on the hard wood floor and then it bounced all the way down the staircase. It was completely fine and uneffected by the crash. It is awesome in every aspect except for the headphone jack. When I push the headphone cord end all the way into the jack, the bass turns off and the sound is horrible. So I have to push it in about half way which makes it so it comes out sometimes. Also, the coupon for the "free car kit" that comes with it expired eight months ago.
