Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The D-EJ101PSBLK Psyc CD Walkman combines skip-free technology with a modern, stylish black housing, making it an ideal portable CD player for working out or traveling. At a mere 1.1 inches thick, the Walkman more than lives up to its name, traveling with ease in a pocket, purse, or backpack. More importantly, the Psyc plays CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats, letting you create custom music mixes from your existing collection or add new songs from other sources. Add in such playback modes as track programming, repeat play (track, disc, or program), and random play and you have a terrific CD player for virtually any scenario.

Audio-wise, the Psyc includes such features as Digital Mega Bass sound, which employs digital processing technology to produce rich, deep bass tones with extremely low harmonic distortion; a two-position Automatic Volume Limiter System (AVLS), which maintains the volume output at levels below the distortion threshold for cleaner sound reproduction; and a digital volume control for precise volume adjustments. And all listeners will love the bookmark playback function, which lets folks easily program their favorite songs from multiple CDs and play them back with the touch of a button.

Other details include a full-circle design that mirrors the look of the CD itself and a pair of clip- style headphones. The D-EJ101PSBLK, which runs for roughly 16 hours on two AA batteries, measures 5.5 inches in diameter and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

This player met my expectations in every way and it was very inexpensive so I am happy. I bought it for books on CD so I can't judge how well it will handle music. Hard Rockers need another review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound - Difficult Ear Piece and Controls, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Sony DEJ010BLK CD Walkman Portable Compact Disc Player Black (Electronics)

I found this cd player to be really cool with the sound and I like how you can move around and the cd does not skip around. The only problem with this device is the controls are too small - I could not read the labels enough to understand what AVLS was nor could I understand the repeat button. When I went to look on the screen everything was so small it was ridiculous!

The ear piece was another factor - It was backwards or something, I got it to fit my ear and all but there needed to be some sort of covering for the ear piece.

I love it, except for those few things.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor sound quality, October 21, 2006

This review is from: Sony DEJ010BLK CD Walkman Portable Compact Disc Player Black (Electronics)

I bought the white version of this CD player (which is exactly identical except in color), to replace a Panasonic SL-SX480 which was skipping too much.

I'd heard great things about "Sony Sound Quality", and figured that this player would at least match or compare to Panasonic's D.Sound.

It does not.

In fact, the sound quality of this player is really quite poor until you turn it up beyond volume level 6, and you can only do that if you have AVLS turned off. At 6, it sounds pretty natural and solid, but who wants to listen at that high of volume all day long?

At a more acceptable volume, it truly feels like you are listening to a cassette player. The sound is thin, brassy, it doesn't involve you in the music which you are listening to. I would have expected better from Sony.

Because of this, I took the player back and bought a new Panasonic SL-SX480 instead...it may skip, but at least it sounds better.
