| eckoman2k1's Full Review: Sony Walkman D-EJ616CK Personal CD Player |
Well, it has a bunch of great features as mentioned in the Pros and Cons, and as you can see, the cons are not that major. I HAVE been able to make the cd player skip, but let me tell you HOW I did that...I held it vertically between my thumb and second finger and rotated my wrist back and forth as fast as I could. Of course, when would there ever be a condidion like that when it is being used? Pretty slim chance, so it will hold up. The G-Protection is great! It doesn't eat up your batteries like other portable CD players. The battery life is outstanding! I have gotten 35+ hours with some of my batteries. I recommend that you do NOT get re-chargeables because last only like 5 hours...maybe you can get more out but the battery life is still greatly reduced. There is a set of buttons on the side of the player for volume. Not the standard dial volume control like any other CD player out there. Very good and goes well with the ALVS (Advanced Volume Limiting System. Sorry, you'll have to research that for yourself.) The bass settings are the best I've ever seen! (or heard. :-) ) I thought that the earbuds would be a piece of mashed plastic crap in a bag with a cord, but I learned in about 5 minutes of getting the unit that they stood up to my normal $50 headphones. I haven't had it long enough to say how long the earbuds will last but it's been about 3 or 4 months now and I haven't had a problem yet or even considered any other headphones. Back to the bass settings...if you press the "sound" button once, you get normal bass boost. Press it twice, and you've got the "groove" setting where ......I can't even describe it because the sound is so good!
