 What a disapppointment November 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really love Sony products, and this one had such good customer reviews that I don't really know what went wrong...
I bought this for my son, who has to listen to therapeutic music for 30 minutes per day. I figured the anti-skip technology would be important to keep the music playing for a bouncy little boy. I liked the shuffle feature too.
But from the beginning, it worked poorly. Frequently at the end of 30 minutes we'd find the music had at some point turned off, and we didn't know when or why. And the ALVS apparently reduced the volume on some therapeutically distorted disks so low that they no longer had therapeutic benefit, and was too easy to accidentally turn on. The layout of the buttons was awkward, with the play button too far from the headphones port to easily control in a tune belt. I'm giving up on getting this working right and buying something else.
 A great find November 5, 2008

I looked for ages to find a portable CD player that had shuffle capability and this one does! It's easy to use and has worked great for us. I'm really pleased we bought it.

very disappointed because it is a sony. Needs a new battery every other day. This product does not work. I was so sure it was goint to be great that I throw away the packaging and I cannot return it now. It is worthless.
Sony Walkman: Functional, easy to use October 15, 2008
The only way I would improve this product is to have a way to attach cords for hanging around the neck or a hand strap like my old model.I had to buy a special belt (another $15) to hold it. The belt is ok for now but it will be very bulky/inconvenient when cold weather comes and I'm wearing heavy coats.
fantastic for the price September 14, 2008

Pro:
- anti-skid really works here. No skid of any kind,
- battery saver big time,
- internal battery compartment, won't fall out by accident (goes well with anti-skid)
- remembers where it left off! If I open the cover and close and restart, it starts from where it left off!
Neutral:
- sound quality is ok, no better or worth than my $300 Yamaha or my $9.99 generic brand player from Target. The trick is the headphone. I only listen with Grado SR325 or SR125. Any CD play sounds equally fantastic. It's all in the disk, all in the headphone jack. You just need the right headphone to bring it out to your ears.
Con:
- buttons too small and hard to decipher, display is TINY and almost impossible to read. Doesn't come with AC power converter. But for $30 at Target, I shall withdraw my complaint and give it a 5-star rating instead.
Save your bucks for a pair of great the Grado headphone set. It's not the player. BTW, only reason I returned the $9.99 one and got the Sony instead is that the generic brand player doesn't have anti-skd and any slight touch will make it play from the very beginning - too annoying.
