Panasonic SL-S361C Personal CD Player

I bought the SL-S361C so I could bring my music with me, listen in the car, or at home while working. If you want a really rugged CD player this is probably not for you. You'd be better off with a player from the Shockwave series (also by Panasonic). If you want to listen anywhere this CD player will serve you well. Treat it well and it will last a long time. Below is a summary of the pros and cons of the product and its accessories.
