The Bottom Line:
I recommend this Sony D-SJ01 CD Walkman to anyone who is active in outdoors that has the best skip-free protection available in the market.
I got this Sony D-SJ01 for a cheap discontinued price for $99.90 plus tax at Fry's Electronics and I was the last person to get it before it was actually gone. Not like people who usually paid $200 for it and thought that it was very expensive. Good thing I waited the last minute. My old Sony D-25, now 12 years old, only gets 2.5 hours of playback time so it's time for me to get a new one because I need something with very long playback time for each new battery.
The reason I got this Sony D-SJ01 is because it was the cheapest Made in Japan Sony CD Walkman in Sony's lineup. The look of the player is sporty and it looks great for both indoors and outdoors. It is very rugged with protective metal shield to add durability to it. Not like regular Sony and Panasonic portable CD players with plastics surrounding it. It has 40 hours of playback time by using 2 AA alkaline batteries so I can listen to my music longer without worrying about dying batteries. One of the feature I like most is the G-Protection skip-free feature that recovers 10 times faster on shocks than ESP. In my opinion, G-Protection is the best skip-free protection in the market. So far, it has not skip on me yet. The Sony D-SJ01 includes a variety of accessories such as hand strap, 2 AA rechargeable batteries, battery case, headphones, and AC adapter. It can recharge any 2 AA rechargeable batteries in turbo speed, which is a good thing because I only waited five hours and then it is full.
The buttons to play, stop, and search the tracks are on top of the player and they are often hard for me to push. The buttons are rather small. They are design for one hand operation by placing your hand in the carrying strap. Wish that the buttons were placed in front on the player.
Anyway, hope that the Sony D-SJ01 will last long as my old 1990 Sony D-25 Discman, which is still running strong and trouble-free after 12 years. Hooray and excellent job for Sony! Go get one now because it is getting hard to find.
