Summary: Good price not reliable
Review: I reciever this cd player for christmass from my parents i picked it out because it was a sony and it was inexpensive. When i got it out of the botx it was ok but after that it went down hill it skiped when i hardly would touch it and somtimes it would skip when it wasnt evern touched. I returned it and bought a panasoinc my advice is spend the few extra bucks and get a quality cd player.

Summary: good with few flaws-D-E446CK
Review: I like mine a lot, it never skips on the bus or in my pocket even with esp off (i almost never use esp) it has great features, but i dont have time to do a full review and list them all. It reads scratched cd's and cd-r's well. The lid is a bit loose and it skips for no reason at all every once in a while. These are my only complaints. I've had it for about 4 months, and the skipping problems has gone away a little bit, and the lid hasn't gotten any looser.

Summary: A great CD player at a great price.
Review: I like this CD player a lot. At only $, it is a very goodbuy. I saw it at Best Buy for $ and Amazon.com was much cheaper.Although the ESP works great, the sound does skip sometimes for no apparent reason. I recommend the other CD player by Sony with a headphone remote. But this is a very good buy.

Summary: Skipping, but where are the Bumps?
Review: I bought this CD player, for what I thought was the best skip protection that was out there and great Sony sound. The sound was good and it did not skip at all..... For about 2 weeks. Then it would skip when I did not even hit a bump! and it got worse till I returned it and got another one (that was just the same) and it did the same thing! It makes me very upset, and i wish they would fix this problem.

Summary: Great Sound Weak Construction
Review: I got it today i think it is great has great sound and dosn't skip the only thig is i used to own a panasonic shockwave. wich i droped on a cement floor and it did not break. with this one im afraid it won't take the fall or for that matter any fall but if you are a person who is carefull and dont use it for sport. it is a great portable cd worth every $

Summary: Not too good player
Review: 3* for sound. ESP works great. Sound quality is good, definitely better than 2 Sony(ESP broke) units I had, but AIWA interferes with all kinds of other electric equipment. I was listening to my music on the train and it was picking up a static noise from the electric engines of a train, same thing happened on the escalator. For me it's a NO!

Summary: Good but be wary
Review: Well i bought this discman from myer about 6 months ago. I loved it, I used it every day, and took it just about everywhere. But 6 months after i bought it it broke. The player still worked but the ESP was shot. So be very wary. But I LOVE those earphones coz they stay in your ear and give AWESOME bass. A good player but just be wary and expect the worst.

Summary: Perhaps the GSM breaks some IC?
Review: I'm a weeny bit dissapointed by this Discman. The italian packaging comes with a ridiculous pair of earphones but I already had a couple of good ones so that's not too much of a problem for me. The trouble is that it doesn't seem to withstand e.m. waves radiated from a GSM phone placed close to it. It's the second unit I change and after some time (notably after an interference from the GSM occoured during a previous playback) the CD just spins down for no particular reason shutting off the unit (that means that the unit could have just managed to survive prolonged vibrations or that it could have been left sitting peacefully on a desk!) Now, I will get another unit for replacement and stick it in a Faraday bag but the idea doesn't please me at all! Nevertheless, it's aeons better than a Thompson CD player I originally intended to buy, but still: looks too delicate and it could be the first victim of GSM e.m. transmissions!

Summary: Pales in comparison to its predeecessor
Review: Years ago, Sony made the best Discman there was. I had one from about 10 years ago that was great. It weighed a ton compared to this one, but the sound was immensely superior. I couldn't believe my ears when I hooked this one up to my stereo system through the line out, the sound was so thin. Not at all rich and full like my old unit. And the feel of this new one made me think it wouldn't last ten weeks, let alone ten years. Shame on Sony for cheapening down such a good product. I packed it up and took it back. And my brand-loyalty for Sony has taken a major hit.
