The Bottom Line:
Great durable cd player for anyone who likes to jog, walk run with it or just listen to some music
I got this cd player today and it is so cool! I had the Panasonic SL-SX320 but I needed one that was water resistant, more durable, and one that came with a hand strap for jogging. Since I am 14, I need alot of excersize, and also since I am gaining lots of weight from sitting on my butt all day, and eating everything in the house, I need to get out and jog. I returned the SL-SX320 today and bought the Panasonic Shockwave SL-SW940.
I was excited when I saw the package and it said water resistant on the top, it also had an awesome design, and is very durable. It had everything I needed. 45 second skip protection, 33 hour long battery life, 3 EQ setting, and just lots of features.
The sound quality seems to be actually alot better then every other cd player I had, and trust me, I had many cd players (7 total) any one of them either did not have enough treble, bass, or just had alot of distortion. This one doesn't distort even on max volume with max bass!!! it puts out a total of 6 milliwatts so it is not the loudest player on the market. The volume goes from 0 (lowest) to 25 (highest) so in most situations you will have the volume on 25. That can be a plus in a way since it can not damage your hearing.
The features are just excellent. You get 3 EQ settings. no bass, S-XBS which is extra bass, and live which makes it sound like you are in a concert hall. The sound seems to be the fullest on S-XBS. It also has repeat 1, so it will keep repeating a track if you want it to. repeat all so it will repeat the whole cd when it is done, random, so it will mix up your tracks, and repeat random so it will repeat the songs in a mixed up order. Unlike sony, you can also program 24 of your favorite tracks, and play them in the order that you want it to. It also has 45 seconds anti skip protection so you can jog with it. It comes in 3 colors, silver, blue, and red.
The design is awesome. It is in the Shockwave line, so you are getting one of the most durable cd players on the market. They call the design "Active Spin" so it looks like a swirl. It really looks awesome in real life. Much better then it does on here. It is made out of a super thick and hard plastic, and also has a little rubber so it is very durable. it is completely sealed around the lid so you can take it to the beach or jog in the rain with it and not have to worry about it getting sand in it or wet. The buttons are made out of rubber and don't get press real easily which is a plus so it does not get pressed that easily while carrying in your pocket. It also has hold which is convienient so you can lock the buttons so they will not get pressed by accident. It comes with a jogger grip that is a little strap for your hand so you can comfortablly jog, walk, run with it. It takes 2 AA's and the battery compartment is under the lid. Another great feature so if you drop it you don't have to worry about the batteries flying all over the house. It also has 33 hours of battery life, and has a 3 level battery indicator so you know how much battery life you have left.
The headphones...oh man I got 1 word that should sum it up for ya. JUNK JUNK JUNK TOTAL JUNK. They are uncomfortable and sound terrible. They will definitly need to be replaced.
I highly reccomend this Panasonic Shockwave SL-SW940 portable cd player to any active person, or just wants to enjoy high quality sound on a very stylish cd player.
Good luck with your decision.
