Summary: Useless if you want it outlast the 1 Year Guarantee
Review: I agree with some of the above comments, esp. the first, my Sony Discman was useless after a few months and refused to play even if you just moved in your seat with it on, and it would trip out to the beginning of the CD. It was replaced and the same happens again now. The ESP function is the worst available, and you can get much better makes for the same price(or less). Anti shock and durabilty is so important in Personal CD Players, and it is the things that Sony have overlooked in this model.

Summary: Don't be fooled by looks!
Review: I always believed that Sony was the best and the leader of technology when it comes to audio especially, but now(June 16,1999), after buying the "all new Sony discman"(shown above) in late july 1998, it has greatly disappointed me in trusting Sony products. Yes,when i first bought it i thought it was "the sh*t",the best, etc. and yes, it "did" have all those cool features and good sound quality, but I surely found out that this product is definately not made for the outdoorsman, or the hiker,runner,biker,etc. to this day ive been using my discman to and from school, but around January '99 it just started to cut off and the ESP malfunctioned, as where it skips during some tracks instead of protecting it from skipping. Now dont think I'm the type of kid who runs around rocks and cliffs, or go swimming with my discman because its a Sony. Im just your regular 17yr teen who loves to listen to music everyday while walking to places. Sony replaced my discman around January and the same "sypmtoms" are appearing today, my friend has also purchased this discman,(from a different store) and she just uses it in her car...she also has the same problems. My point is don't just buy it 'cause its a Sony or its got a cool metalic look to it. Take advise from me and by something else better like and "aiwa" or "pioneer" or a magnovox.

Summary: Very Reliable Procuct
Review: I received this CD player about 4 years ago and it still is running good as new! I love the 2 bass levels(Mega Bass, and Groove) they really boom the comfortable headphones. It hasn't skipped at all. Even when it fell of the couch without the ESP2 on!(probably just luck)The only thing I am dissappointed with is the fact that it doesn't come with the optional remote that controlls the entire CD player:-( Not a big loss at all though. I recomend this to anyone looking for a Discman.

Summary: Great player, great buy!
Review: This is a really great player! It doesn't skip, even without the esp on, and with the esp, it's indestructable. I took it with me on a class trip to Washington D.C. where it was julted, dropped, and stepped on repeatedly. Then it traveled with me throughout Europe, where it is brutally treated by all of my friends and me. We even dropped it out of one of our fourth floor hotel room windows (accedentally, of corse), and it still plays beautifully. And it doesn't suck up as much power as my first Panasonic one did. I'd definitly say that you should buy this one. It's cheap, and it's just as good as my friend's $130 Sony one (at least, about 7 of us thought so). If you're looking for a lot of player for your money, buy this player!

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.
