"Sweet Sounds"

by gungian Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 07 '02
Pros: Light in weight and heavy in features
Cons: I didn't buy it sooner
Introducing our latest arrival. We are proud to announce the sprouting of a new twig on the Gungian family tree.

NOTE: This is an old (2000) review that was posted under an inappropriate product name. Some of my Epinions colleagues...

Shootout: Three budget personal CD players.

by kurt_kurosawa , Jun 27 '00
Pros: Killer accuracy in audio reproduction at a fire-sale price.
Cons: You may not like hearing music as it really is, warts and all.
You've probably read that all CD players sound the same--only the features are different. Over the years, my ears have told me otherwise, so I compared cheap Sony, Aiwa, and Philips machines using the same CDs and headphones (my treasured Sony MDR-V6,...

Can't complain for the price I paid!

by casualsuede , May 30 '02
Pros: Cheap, variable features, feature laden with Remote Control.
Cons: Headset quality
In the past, portable CD players were big, bulky and had little features. Now, as the new millenium passes us by, portable CD players are becoming more feature laden. However, it is hard to distinguish one model from another, since all of them are the...

Good but failing

by bmcreider , Oct 11 '00
Pros: Nice features, looks cool, sounds good
Cons: Very fragile, will not last
I bought this CD Player because it was cool, and at the time was $100. I had $100 and was looking for a GOOD CD Player since I had bought a cheap one that failed on me. Plus I was looking for a player that would support CD-RWs and CD-Rs since I...

Great sound, great features, affordable

by nsadhal , Aug 09 '00
Pros: Great sound, great features (anti-skip, hold, car kit), low price, cool remote
Cons: cheap headphones, weak bass enhancement
I bought this cd player recently because I was tired of my bulky yellow Sony Sport Walkman that I got 6 years ago. I was debating between an mp3 player and a cd player and finally decided on cd, because mp3 is such a new technology, and I'm still...

Bought it..Like it..Almost great.

by mainframetopc , Aug 15 '00
Pros: Great sound. State of the art.
Cons: Minor irritations.
We have never used our car cassette player because once you start with CD's, you never go back to cassettes.

Our car radio is really great and we didn't want to replace it just to get a CD player, so I decided to investigate what was going on...

My first Aiwa product

by Igus , Jan 30 '01
Pros: Sleek design,nice remote
Cons: Cheap headphones, poor initial fitment
Although normally a big Sony fan, I omitted them from my choices because of the AVLS feature (automatic volume limiting system).

The player at first try seemed to have a habit of popping open unintentionally. This subsided after some use....

A great discman for the sheltered environment

by kire , Apr 22 '03
Pros: Good sound. Price. Car kit included.
Cons: Flimsy and fragile. Remote control reception.
I had a big OLD Sony car discman, with big clunky anti-shock mountplate, for several years. It worked great and I never thought I'd buy a new CD player. But, alas, the old girl couldn't do CD-RW. So I bought this AIWA CD player new and thought it was...

by lameaim , Apr 04 '01
Pros: Car kit, price was nice
Cons: fragile
My experience with this CD player started near the end of the summer when my father replaced my old Sony Discman with it. I was eternally grateful and started using it immediately.

Now, I'm a heavy consumer of music. I use my discman a good...

It works good

by ho_cleaner , Dec 23 '00
Pros: Good sound quality
Cons: Remote broke?!
I bought this thing because I've used Aiwa portable CD players and their quality is second to none. I got it for about $80, which is a great price for something with all these features. Yes, it really does play for about 27 hours, as long as you don't...

Pros: price,features,size,sound,quality,skip free, and many more

This is a really good cd player. I've had it for a long time now and I haven't had one problem with it. TO show how good it is, I accedentaly put it in water and nothing happened to it, even though its not water proof. It has a nice back light, making...

NO!NO!

by SteenSteen , Dec 29 '00
Pros: None - never worked
Cons: Ruined CDs
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! This product was a Christmas gift from my husband. Upon first trying it it would play one CD and not another, so I kept switching CDs in and out, trying to figure out if it was the CD player or specific CDs which were not...

by mikehu , Jan 27 '02
Pros: Doesn't skip, good ergonomics (easy to use), and nice sound
Cons: Stops working after a year...
About a year ago, my girlfriend bought this portable cd player first, and I was impressed enough to buy one also a couple weeks later. The sound was good, and it was nearly impossible to make this thing skip. The battery life is also excellent.
