The Bottom Line:
just read the stinkin review
I am a New York City commuter. I require tunes on the way to and from the drudgery of my job. Enter the Sony DEJ715 Discman.
This is an outstanding little unit. Sony has proven themselves as a world leader in personal electronics with this little device. Its just a portable CD player, but it does the job so well. Its small, sleek and stylish. The housing is a nice gunmetal grey finish with chrome buttons and a nice display. It contains all the usual playback functions such as shuffle, repeat, order programming, etc. The volume is digital, and you can get two levels of Mega Bass.
In addition, the unit features an inline remote control so you don't have to take the player out of your pocket on those crowded subways. Sony's new "G-Protection" which is a rather lame way of saying "No Skipping", provides playback as skip-free as cassettes. I was amazed by this feature. My last Panasonic portable CD player skipped if you so much as burped near it. I held the Sony about 8" above my bed while playing, dropped it on the mattress, and it bounced around without so much as a hiccup.
The player comes with lots of goodies. You get an AC adapter, 2 rechargeable lithium ion batteries (with their own case), a carrying case with handstrap, an inline remote, and those funky band-behind-the-head earphones which are all the rage in Manhattan right now. They sound great, but unfortunately the rubber clips can chafe the ears and become uncomfortable after a while.
I bought a Sony because for the most part, they are reliable. My last device, a digital-tuner Walkman, was purchased in mid-1993, and died February 12, 2001. I got my money's worth. I was going to get another walkman but I upgraded to CD for better sound, no wear and tear on the medium, and the fact I can now burn MP3 mix albums. The only drawback here is that there is no FM radio, but I don't really want to hear nonstop N'Sync anyway.
