The discman I bought is in great condition, it plays CDs well, and has great sound. The only issue I have with it is that batteries don't last very long in it; I've had batteries die after playing up to four CDs in it, as opposed to players that would play up to 15 CDs before the batteries died.

The packaging was bad. This seemed like old stock.
I did not open it and sent it for a return as I was not sure if this was genuine
The Vendor was XTRA Mile Sales . They were kind to do a quick refund after they received the product.

Owing to this experience...I would not buy any products from XTRA Mile Sales
I have had very good luck with most amazon vendors..this was different.

Finally I bought the CD Player from SOnyStyle...and it was cheaper..

Everything that Sony has put on this disc works just fine. The buttons are marked in black, which is the same color as the case and the buttons themselves. It makes it quite difficult to operate the buttons. In addition, there is no option to have the entire disc to repeat. It will repeat a single song (who does that?), but can't repeat the entire disc. Otherwise this unit operates just fine.

the product worked when I first received it, and when I tried a few days later I couldn't get it to operate. Was going on vacation and didn't have time to see if I could return it, but was unhappy I didn't have it for my trip.

i just receive this disc man and i was abit worry from the reviews, but really its awesome and especially if u got a nice headphones for it dont depend on one that came with it ,if u add a good headphones u will have a great sound really,, good product expected from sony

I bought this to replace my old Panasonic SL-SX430 that after years on the road finally broke. The SL-SX430 had a battery life of up to 85 hours on two AA batteries! It never skipped, played all of the MP3 CD discs I burned at home, and was all around a great player for the $50 I paid for it back in 2003. I could not find another one of these to replace my broken one.

I settled on this Sony because I couldn't find many CD players that have MP3 playback anymore. I guess everyone just uses stand-alone MP3 players. Anyway the package didn't advertise the battery life, which turns out to be only 11 hours for an audio CD and 23 hours for MP3 playback. The player also skips or freezes the audio frequently if the disc has the slightest scratch or fingerprint. My old panasonic would play my severely scratched-up discs flawlessly.

The sound quality is OK. No complaints here.

If you have never owned a CD-MP3 player before, you may think that this one is just fine. Personally I just hate replacing an item with something of lesser quality.

Design: 6/10

Playback: 10/10

Sound Quality: 9/10

Battery Life: 7/10

Durability:7/10

Overall: 7.8. Worth the money. Just get a good pair of headphones when you buy it!

impossibly small buttons and tiny lcd.
you'll need a magnifying glass for any adjustments.

barely any metal to it -- which makes it light as a feather -- and probably as durable

handle with care!
