Sony Walkman D-E401 Personal CD Player

This CD player is a fragile, weak, cheap ESP piece of junk! In the second week of ownership this player broke. It broke FALLING ONTO A CARPET! That is weak, I have owned many other portable players as being weak and flimsy. There are good features to this fragile player. First, the looks. The reason I bought this player is that it looks cool with that sleek Aluminum color. Another reason I like this player is its sound is superior because it was made by Sony. But I do not recommend their customer services. When I tried to replace the player I had to jump through all these hoops and pay shipping to send it back and even then they did not replace it saying "It did not fail due to a manufactural defect which is just not true because it broke from a small fall only after 2 weeks out of the package. So while this CD player sounds good and looks sweet, it is a flimsy p.o.s. and will not be replaced because of it!
