Summary: Beats Sony Down
Review: Let me start by telling you a very long story. I have had 3 Sony players in the past, and all 3 of them have broken down, or sounded so bad that I had to return them. I am being serious here...Sony is seriously declining. Their products are becoming more and more terrible. Everybody at my school seems to own a sony CD player but I personally think that they are terrible. They have everyone brainwashed that just because its a SONY, its the best quality you can get! HA!!!!When I returned my second Sony CD Player that day to Circuit City, I saw this player and it looked very stylish, not to mention the D Sound logo that caught my eye. I was able to go on the Circuit City website from there and read lots of reviews for this player. Everyone seemed to like it. So I bought it (majorly because of its battery life) and got in the car. This was my third CD player I had bought today. I was very nervous on opening it because...what if it was bad? I first had to charge the Ni-Cd batteries for approx. 3 hours. After that was done, I tried it out (without the extra AA battery pack). This player was not only the best of my lifetime 5 CD players, but THE thinnest and lightest. This CD player sounds so incredible that a Sony customer would probably throw away their CD player to have this one. The bass is incredible and the treble is just awesome. There are 5 EQ settings: EQ Off, S-XBS, S-XBS+, Train, Live. I think S-XBS+ sounds the best. The player itself takes 2 "gumstick" batteries, making it able to become extra thin. This thing is so awesome because I can fit it into my pocket easily and its not heavy enough to weigh my pants down. There are the main buttons on the player: Play, Stop, |>>, <<|, and volume control. There is also a hold button on the player. The top of the player is silver and feels very durable/light. The best part of the player is the remote. The remote has a LCD screen with all the buttons you need (EQ, Mode, Display/Menu, Hold, and all the play functions that are on the player. It supports ID3 tagging and has a backlight on the remote so you can see what you're playing at night. Also, the buttons on the side of the player light up when you are playing music and/or charging. I thought I wasn't one to like the LCD type remotes because if you lose it, then you have no screen. But to my surprise...it works out very well. I guess I just had to try it for myself. I was very curious about the battery life at first. Without the AA battery pack, I wondered how much life it would get out of the Ni-Cd batteries. Well its about 23 hours for MP3 playback and 14 for CD Audio. With only the AA battery pack, its 97 for MP3 and 53 for CD Audio. With both, its 117 for MP3 and 65 for CD Audio. Even though the battery pack can be annoying sometimes, it works out quite well and I can understand why they did it. I love the battery life on this thing! As for the headphones, I haven't even tried them because I know they will probably stink but when I opened the CD player up, I put on my Philips HS500 Street Style Headphones and it sounded like BLISS. Just about everything on this player is perfect. As I said, this is the best portable I have ever had, and for now on, I am sticking with Panasonic (as does Consumer Reports. They seem to like Panasonic) and I am NEVER GETTING A SONY AGAIN. One last thing. Say, if you have 300 MP3's on your disc, this player reads them ultra fast and there is no pause between switching tracks. The MP3 playback is beautiful. Overall, a COMPLETE gem. The only player I would compare this with in quality is the iriver IMP 350. But did you know that the iriver has only, like, 30 or so hours of playback? This one has so much more! BUY IT NOW!!!! You won't regret it. I promise.

Summary: NO SKIP-REALLY!
Review: On the blister package of the Panasonic SL-CT710 it claims NO SKIP, a claim often made and less then often true, but in the case of the Panasonic SL-CT710 it REALLY does'nt skip. I rated it 4 stars - the reason it did'nt qualify for that fifth shining star is due to distortion, when connected to an external amp thru it's earphone jack. If the volume of Panasonic SL-CT710 is set less than 10, a very audible(and annoying) hiss sound is heard, in fairness the Panasonic SL-CT710 owner's manual does instruct users to set volume from 10-15 when connecting to external stereo amp. Strange though even the cheapest CD players never caused this audio distortion - must be the units unique and powerfull amp. Finally. I contacted Panasonic and asked was there a menas of adjusting the bass level presets(XBS,XBS+) sadly there is'nt I strongly urged them to integrate a custom configurable EQ, Because to me for many songs the XBS swallows all the highs, thus making the music sound like it coming from a big clay pot.

Summary: A Great Buy Despite Some Minor Problems
Review: The sound quality of this CD player is great! But the only thing I don't like about this is the headphones. When I try to turn my head, sometimes the left earpiece falls out. I would suggest buying a different pair of headphones. Another problem I have with this CD player is the rechargeable batteries. I prefer just regular Double A batteries because then if your going to travel, you don't have to worry about finding an outlet to charge it with. But besides the headphones and the charger, the CD player is very lightweight and fits right into my pocket. I was looking for a CD player that I could use while I was exercising. The sound quality is something I never heard before with my Sony CD player. It's nice and crisp and clear. I would suggest buying this CD player!

Summary: Best CD Player i've ever owned!
Review: This CD player is one of the most convienient i've ever owned. IT's small and easy to use. The sound is also very clear when the music is played. The only thing i disslike about it is that the head phones are too short. I really recomend this cd player to anyone who is interested in a small slim cd player.

Summary: Great Job Panasonic!
Review: This CD player is so great. Even the earbuds are good! It has a very light, sturdy, stylish design. The remote is easy to use and id3 tagging works fine with it. The buttons on the side light up and change colors when playing or charging. Like the review above I have had 2 Sony CD Walkmans (D-E350) in the last two years. UNCOMPARABLE! The panasonic is much better. It seems all of their products are wonderful!. I have a Panasonic cell phone, 2 home stereos, and an in dash CD player, all from Panasonic and they work great. The LCD remote has a backlit display that is bright so you can see it at night. Overall, this CD player is a funtional, stylish, light, and just WONDERFUL CD player. Highly recommended.
