Panasonic SL-SW870 Portable CD Player: Have One For The Road

Pros Tough Performer.
Cons May be a little high for entry level wage earners and others.
Recommended it? Yes

Portable sound has gone through quite an evolution in the past 50 years or so. I can remember the first transistor radios back in the 50's and how amazing it was to be able to carry a radio around outside and not have a long cord plugged into a wall plug. Simply amazing.

Then came the... Read full review »

Pros Light, Solid, Durable, Skip Proof
Cons Nothing
Recommended it? Yes

I have seen the kids wearing these and listening to them as loud as they can and I just said I have to have one. I went to the store to find out more about them. I found out that they have a 40sec skip time. I need that really bad. When playing basketball or working out my other portables just skip... Read full review »

Pros Size, durability, good sound
Cons Headphones are not for all, price
Recommended it? No

Solid product, but excessive in price. Good full sound with a very sturdy body (aluminum finish body). Some of the 'pros' are ...

1. Size. Slim body design.

2. Durability. Shockwave unit that is sturdy with sidelocks. Aluminum body tends to 'dent' not 'crack' when dropped.

Cons Price, not all may like the headphones
Recommended it? Yes

I?ve always loved the gimmicks and when I started looking for a portable CD player I found this one and just had to have it.

The headphones weren?t the only reason though.
I needed something with a robust anti-shock and that could take some abuse. When I first got home and put in a... Read full review »

There Are Better Cheaper CD Players

Pros Looks Nice
Cons Battery Life, Durability, Headphones, Price
Recommended it? No

When you first take a look, at this CD player it looks stylish, and strong. The headphones also look stylish (maybe), as they wrap around your head. Unfortunately, the CD player is rather disappointing for the price paid.

Headphones: Either you love them or you hate them. The VMSS feature... Read full review »

Pros The body is metal. Anti- skip is great
Cons The headphones may hurt your ears and the battery life isn't that long.
Recommended it? Yes

What can you say about this metal body? Mmmmmmm? Well I this was the first anti-skip player I was exposed to, so I wanted to see how well it really worked. I don't personally own this player, it is my bothers, and so, I need his permission to put it to the test. It says that it has a 40 sec... Read full review »
