5.0 out of 5 stars A expensive but very nice C.D. player, November 23, 2000
This review is from: Panasonic SL-SW860 Metallic Shockwave CD Player with 40-Second Anti-Shock (Electronics)
I like to listen to music. It's one of my favorite pastimes. Usually when I listen to music I'm doing something like exercising. And while you work out, it's obvious that any C.D. player you're using is going to get bumped up. But this is where the Panasonic SLSW860 comes in. It can take bump after bump after bump, and still keep going. It's anti-shock is one of the best I've seen. It dosen't fall short on sound quality either. It has a smooth sound, equal to a big stereo system. The only thing I have to complain about the Panasonic SLSW860 is the price. You can buy a stereo system for the price of this C.D. player. But aside from that this is the perfect C.D player for someone who is on the go alot and likes clean sounding music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Exercising, January 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic SL-SW860 Metallic Shockwave CD Player with 40-Second Anti-Shock (Electronics)
So far so good. I've owned this player for a few days now. I've jogged with it and shaken the hell outta the thing and can't make it skip. I also compared the sound quality to the top of the line sony and it compares favorably. Mine came with an offer for a free belt/fanny pack you can send away for. Looks like this promotion lasts through March of 2001. Only negative I can think of are the headphones which are slightly chinsy and could use some more bass response although most of these walkman style CD players come with [bad] headphones that will need replacing.

This review is from: Panasonic SL-SW860 Metallic Shockwave CD Player with 40-Second Anti-Shock (Electronics)
The only reason I do not give this 5 stars is that I've only used it three times so far. However, I bought it for exercise purposes and so far it has worked like a charm and I am glad to pay extra for a durable cd player that I can jog with. I have had Sony players in the past that don't match up well and I'm so happy to have fallen into the Panasonic camp. The anti-shock jogger format hasn't failed to deliver constant top-quality sound and the player has had no problem with my CD-R's that I play. The only tiny drawback is that after twenty or so minutes jogging, the headphones can be a bit uncomfortable but it least they continue to perform - something that the undependable Sony sport headphones would like to claim. Only time will tell about the 5th star but things look very promising.
