| reviewingman1's Full Review: Panasonic SL-S222 Personal CD Player |
SIntro... Nice, cheap player.
I bought this player for 69.99. I decided to buy it because it was cheap, yet it looked clean and pleasing. I thought the colors were paush (did I spell that right) looking. It had just the right mix of silver gray and blue. It also has a little window to view the CD through. The looks are what mostley got me to buy this CD player. The looks and the price.

What I Liked... Sound, Price, & Looks.
When I first this player for only seventy dollars I thought that it must have been a mistake, a labeling mistake, because the player looked so nice. As I said, the price was a big plus at only seventy dollars. The last good posotive thing was the sound quality. You could expect a seventy dollar play to have ok sound. But this player has a great sound. It is clear and has just the right balance between treble and bass, but that also depends on what kind of headphones you have.

What I Didn't Like... Only One Big Thing.
There was only one big thing that I didn't like about this player. That thing was that there is only 10 seconds of anti-shock protection. Mabey a while ago that was the most you could get, but now a days most players have 40 or more seconds or have there own kind of skip protection, such as G-Protection.

My Final Epinion... Conclusion
Overall I definantly recommend this player because panasonic was able to shove just enough of durability, sound, and definantly looks, into this player while still keeping the price way below 100 dollars! The only kind of people I would NOT recommend this to is people who are planning to use this player to jog or do some other shakey activity.
