Summary: Good While it Lasts
Review: A couple of years ago, I was at the airport, about to depart on a trip, when I realized I packed my music, but forgot to pack my CD player. So I bought one. It turned out to be this one, and I liked it right away. The anti-shock function, the Random and Resume features, and the Hold feature alone are enough to warrant buying it. The S-XBS feature, IMHO, *MUST* be used if the sound is going to be worth it. This player has made many trips with me, across country, as well as back and forth to work and the gym. Sadly, it is dying. The anti-shock function sometimes simply causes the cd to stop playing, though still spinning. The cute part is that when this happens the player actually apologizes; the word "Sorry" appears on the LCD screen.

So, maybe I'll buy another one. But this one was good while it lasted.

Summary: Quality at last!
Review: I began shopping around for CD players after my last one finally bit the dust after no time at all. (Memorex. A warning.) Being frugal, I looked at Koss and GPX among others but kept hearing the same three-star reviews warning against how cheap the products were. So finally, I figured I can spend more money now for this player, or shell out cash every six months on a replacements.

I got this in the mail and was instantly happy. It's amazingly small and lightweight. (They tell you that, but it's different in your own hand...) It's amazingly battery-efficient. It could go for an extra day or two off batteries my last player said were dead. I took it on the treadmill with me, and no matter what angle or speed I was at, resting on the input screen ahead of me, it never missed a beat. The only so-so thing about the player is it's not very loud. I knew this however from previous reviews and went ahead and bought it anyway. I'm still satisfied, and to compensate that, I'll just buy a headset whose speakers go into your ear, rather than pad the outside. A simple solution to a minimal problem.

It's a great product. There really isn't anything I can say about it that would put it down or degrade it in anyway. It's not terribly expensive compared to some others out there. For its price range, it goes above and beyond for quality; paying for itself again and again.

And lastly, I take this CD player with me to school as well and it survives my backpack unscathed. If it can handle me going to and from classes, it can handle anything. Plus, it has the "hold" feature. For all of you who don't know what that is, it keeps your player from playing if, let's say, it'd been bumped in your bag, thus saving your batteries for music for you, as opposed to your wallet or book or whatever else it was sandwiched up against.

Summary: Great CD Player!
Review: I bought this CD player for jogging. I was a little skeptical at first thinking that the thing would skip a little. But much to my surprise it performed beautifully! I highly recommend this player to anybody who is looking for a great player for jogging or for a car. It has programmable track memory, bass boost function and lasts approx. 28 hours on two AA batteries! Cool!

Summary: GREAT!
Review: I got this CD Player for Christmas, and it is simply awesome! It is my first Personal CD Player, and I love it. With the anti-shock feature turned on, i cannot make it skip t all. I have shaken it, ran around with it, and drove on a gravel road while listening to it and it does NOT skip! The sound qualtity is good. It is all you would want in a Personal CD player, and i definatly recommend it!

Summary: Continued brilliance.
Review: I had a Panasonic portable CD player that I bought about 10 years ago. Recently, I decided I needed a replacement for it, though the player was still running strong. I've seen all of these new portable CD players from different manufacturers, and I made the mistake of falling for one of these "hip inexpensive new style" players (*ahem* KOSS *cough*). Bad idea.

So I decided to go back to what worked, and bought this Panasonic. In a word: awesome. Very light, very stylish, great AC adapter, quiet, the anti-skip function is superb (and you have the option of turning it on or off), and even the headphones (while far from perfect) do an admirable job.

Sony has cheapened the quality of its discman, and other subpar companies will try to bait you with bright colors and low prices while giving you junk. Panasonic has always made quality consumer electronics, and their portable CD players are no exception. They might be marginally more expensive than the lesser names, but when you have a portable CD player that you like and can depend on, it is more than worth it.

Summary: This product stinks
Review: I have tried it and the fist time I traveled in the car and hita bump it skipped.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You get more then what you paid for
Review: I just bought it and it works great its almost impossible to make it skip when you have the anti shock feature activated. You can jog with it and it wont skip. You get alot of bang for buck.
