Pros durable, light and easy to carry
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

My husband is in the United States Navy and when he goes on deployments his biggest complaints are trying to go to sleep at night, or not having any music to listen to while he is working out. So, while he was gone during the Kosovo Crisis in 1999 I decided to purchase this Sony CD player for him... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use! Great Sound!
Cons Skips alot, doesn't come with recharger
Recommended it? Yes

We bought the Sony D-171C Discman for my daughter several months ago, after finding a great price for it at a local electronics store. My daughter is 11 years old and we wanted to get her something that was fairly easy to use, and durable. We were not concerned with getting any fancy features.

Pros Durability, ease of use, and quality sound.
Cons It finally died after many years of use. :(
Recommended it? Yes

It's not very often that I read reviews here on Epinions about items that no longer work. However, I must make an exception for my dear old Sony Discman, which is about to enter retirement (e.g. the trash) at the ripe old age of.....well, you know I can't remember how old it is. I think it's been... Read full review »

Pros Good discman.
Cons Piece of dog doo doo, breaks every time and is "non-repairable"
Recommended it? Yes

I've bought 2 of these discmans because I wanted to get a portable CD player that I could take on trips in the car or on a plane.

I didn't want to spend $200 on a fancy ESP no-skip discman, or a funky colored waterproof one, because I didn't need one like that. I just wanted a simple... Read full review »

Do Not Buy This Discman

bydancip Jan 16, 2000
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros plays well if sitting still and not touched
Cons skips a lot, not that many features
Recommended it? No

The title to this epinion explains it all. The Sony D-171 discman is a waste of your money. It may seem like its good with the Digital Mega Bass and all but it's all a big rip-off. It skips like nobody's buisness so to say. I was testing how much it could take in and I found out that i could drop a... Read full review »

Pros generally a good product, good brand, reasonable price
Cons skips, not that many features, no rechargeable battery
Recommended it? Yes

Well, when I saw the ad for a $59 Sony Discman, I couldn't refuse. I trust the brand name but I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on it.

What I got was the D-171. While it's certainly not the top of the line when it comes to CD players, I'd have to say it's pretty okay. When you... Read full review »

Pros Cheap
Cons Damaged my CDs, skips horribly
Recommended it? No

I have been buying audio/video equipment since the mid 70s, but have only bought a few SONY products. There is a reason for this. From the first SONY reciever I bought a few years ago, to the SONY turntable, my SONY cassette walkman and finally this SONY discman, I have never been more disappointed... Read full review »
