Advantages: Good quality of sounds
Disadvantages: bit big headphone but still fine.

...I think I would choose Sony as my brand. I have few discman, so far I never have any problem with this brand. Sony Discman D-E551 is a great device. With silver color , it just look such an elegance device. You can operate it with 2 battery AA size with 20 hours run times. The Sound that come out from this discman is very clear. It's worth for the price. The only part that I don't really like is the model of the headphone. I think it's quite big ... Read review

Advantages: anti-shock, long battery life, great music
Disadvantages: no DVD playing capability, much larger than iPods

Sony is still the best when it comes to electronics. You might wonder why the Sony CD Walkman D-EJ825 is still popular. I mean, why does Sony continue to sell CD players on this DVD age? The answer probably is trivial and we might never really know their reasons but this walkman is still a good buy even if this can't play your favorite music DVD. Old CD walkmans would skip the song when you move the unit. Sony had revolutionized this by adding ...
...You can also count on Sony to produce units which can play music in a beautiful way - no harsh feedbacks on the headset. I actually favor this piece because of its capability to run on 2 AA batteries (these can be recharged) for up to 3 days! I find this extra useful for camp trips. It is true that it is much larger than the now common iPods. Having no DVD capability is a major drawback but if you consider playing CDs most of the time, this is ... Read review

Advantages: good playback
Disadvantages: poor screen and buttons.

When I bought this CD player walkman, I was expecting decent quality of playback and a practical product. I was very pleased with its initial appearence, and so could not resist its price tag. When I put my CD in it was very quiet when reading, and the disk was never scratched during use. The player itself was quite light, and easily fitted in the bag I wa carrying. However, the screen on the player is absolutely terrible, I cant see a thing on ...
...it isn't luminous. The track details do not come up and it took a while to display info. The buttons on the side for navigation are also very small, and I have accidently pressed them more than once, which is very annoying! This player is ok for the money, however I wouldn't recommend it, especially since the release of the mp3 player, which is easier and smaller than this bulky device. ... Read review

Advantages: Good Sound, great low price
Disadvantages: none

...portable CD Player, and the Memorex MD6443 is what she chose. It was more than reasonably priced on sale at the time at about $10. I used it both at the beach, as well as poolside last year, and came away more than impressed by the little player. The MD6443 is just a cd player, so it does not have a built in am/fm radio feature, which might have been cool, but for my needs it was great. The player is capable of playing normal store bought CD's, ...
...was an important feature for me because i like to make alot of my own compilation CD's, so i tend to carry mostly my own homemade cds. The unit also has all the Playback modes you might need for something such as this. Included are Program Play, Resume Play, Random Play/Shuffle. You can also use an all tracks repeat option, as well as a one track repeat. This though is not the best features of this little gem. The MD6443 is capable of 24 track ... Read review
