Since the SL-SX330 plays audio CD-R and CD-RW discs, you can enjoy listening to CDs you make at home in addition to commercial CDs.

The CD player uses 2 AA batteries (not included), which last up to 50 hours. You can also power the unit with an optional 4.5V AC/DC adapter, which lets you plug your portable CD player into an outlet.

5.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for..., January 11, 2005

By	Clarissa "MoonGoddess" (Ontario, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I've had many portable CD players in my life and while I've only had this Panasonic SL-SX330 model a couple months now and can't vouch for long durability, I am thus far satisfied with this product. I'd say this is in-between being a cheap and an expensive player so expect a pretty decent sound that's very clear with a good amount of bass, but nothing mind-blowing. At least the headphones are fairly comfortable, even after wearing them awhile, which is extremely important to me, and ANTI-SKIP as well as HOLD are essential features included here so A) you don't have to worry about the songs jumping around every time you move and B) so it doesn't accidently start playing if you have it in your bag. You'll also be able to wear the headphones without continuously having to push them up if you decide to work out or go running since it can clasp lightly around your ears if you want them to, but you can also rest it on your head while listening to music in an airplane, train, car, ect., and fortunately this does play CD-R and CD-RW's for those who enjoy to burn mixed compilations like I do. And in addition to all that there's long-lasting battery life too, which is quite uncommon in most portable CD players.

What I really don't understand is all these negative reviews. Like I said in my subject title, you get what you pay for - nothing more, nothing less. And if you drop ANY CD player, no matter how much you spend on it, it's more than likely going to break so don't claim this to be a horrible player simply because of your own carelessness or for expecting more than what this is worth.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine product., December 22, 2004

Having listened to this player using my Sennheiser 433 headphones, I found the volume to be perfectly ample. I am very satisfied with this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD player!, March 21, 2006

By	Fiendship Fun (MD, USA) - See all my reviews

Love this thing to death! It has great bass, great volume, and it can shuffle too. Its not a hassle to use either, just stick in a CD and press play! I've dropped this thing loads of times and it doesn't skip at all- and the headphones are great too. The only thing bad about this is the clasp which which broke off mine (but a rubber band can hold it together. xD ), but I don't blame it- it was a hard fall! I paid 50 dollars about two years ago for this, a bit much- but there are pretty decent prices nowadays for this thing.
