5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, October 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Philips AZ9103 Personal CD Player with Car Accessories (Electronics)

This is the best CD Player I have ever owned. It has sound better than any of the other CD Players out there. They might sound similar but once you put in some songs with deep bass you will tell a difference. I doesn't go that loud with the headphones included but you can get some other ones. It also has "resume" so that you start off exactly where you left off. Plus, Philips is a quality name brand so you will be using this for awhile. My friend has one and hers has been dropped off her upstairs deck into the bushes! It still works perfect. I highly reccommend this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars How do I love Phil? Let me count the ways . . ., November 19, 2001

'Tis true. I absolutely adore my tiny blue Philips AZ910317 Personal CD Player. I, oh so creatively, decided to name mine Philip. Philip has managed to provide me with musical pleasure every day for almost a year now. In fact, it's getting harder and harder to imagine a life without Philip. But we all know that nothing in this world is perfect. And even my darling Phil has its faults. So, which would you like to know first- the good news or the bad news? . . . what's that you say?? WHAT? I can't HEAR you!! Perhaps my headphones are on too loud. Oh well, I'll flip a coin. . .

The Bad: The headphones good ol' Phil came with just aren't my cup of tea. They're uncomfortable. And they muffle the music. That problem wasn't hard to fix, though. I just bought some those headphones that slide into your ears. Those made me very happy. Another slight problem is the location of the batteries. You actually have to remove the CD from the discMan to switch the batteries. BUT you won't have to switch those batteries too often, so it's not really that big of a problem. I think the thing that bothers me the most about Phil is the display's lack of light. It was quite difficult to find the right buttons to push when it's dark and there's no light -- but that's easy to get used to. Now I'm an expert.

The Good: The reason I love Phil so much is because Phil treats me real good. Phil makes me happy. Phil knows what it is: a simple discMan. It's not trying too hard to be something it's not, and doesn't have to. That's a quality I look for in a discMan. Phil doesn't skip at all when I go jogging. That makes me happy. Phil's tiny and cute and blue, not big and bulky and boring. That also makes me happy. And Phil's ability to last on long trips never ceases to amaze me. Phil doesn't suck the life out of batteries like SOME discmen I know. As my friends are begging people for spare batteries, I give Phil a proud smile. And when there are no more spare batteries and they are unable to listen to their discmen, I silently whisper to MY discMan, "You are the best" . . . 'Cause Phil is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, just make sure your car is compatible!, January 6, 2001

This CD player is great. The headphones are sturdy and stay on your head - I hate headphones that slip all over the place. The bass is excellent, and the features are cool. I especially like how you can program your CD to play in any order you want, to avoid predictability. The resume feature lets you start a song where you left off, even when you turn the thing off. The picture on this site kind of fools you, though- the blue top is translucent, which is great for me because I like to be able to stop and read the tracks on the CD. Oh yeah, this CD player is TINY!! Practically fits in the palm of your hand. Sturdy, though.

One last thing: The car adaptor works wonderfully in my '92 Honda Civic, but the part that fits in the cigarette lighter plug is not compatible!! It simply does not fit. It is too bulky to fit in the small, sunken-in space that my car allows. So I have to use batteries instead of the car's power. Kind of a waste, really. But the CD player is great, in general. I think that most any CD adaptor would have trouble fitting in my car.
