I have owned this CD/Mp3 Player for about a week now, and am a very happy owner! First off, the design is very stylish and different from the norm. It's award winning design really caught my eye in the store and since then I have not been disappointed with any aspect of the actual player. The earphones supplied are only of average to low quality but that can easily be sorted. I was slightly disappointed that this player does not come with an earphone remote, but I did not really give this much thought.
** The main function buttons are on the front centre of the player, with things like volume and EQ along the edge of the front panel.
** The battery compartment is on the inside of the player, which is quite normal these days and I have not heard of this design causing damage to CDs which some people express concern about.
**This player displays clearly the name of the track and album, using ID3Tag technology.
The sound quality of this player is excellent and very clear, it has only 2 EQ settings, Live and XBS (as well as normal) but they are quite satisfactory for the average listener. The volume can be turned up loud enough certainly for me as I have no problem listening to the player on the train or in town. Some have complained it is not the loudest player, but I cannot say that that is true. It is certainly good enough for most and I am personally happy with the volume.
I was impressed by how long the batteries lasted on the panasonic, it states 48 hours on the box but anything over 14 is good enough for me. I did not measure exactly how long they lasted but I fully charged up brand new rechargable batteries and then listened to the player at pretty much full volume for 4 days,and for quite a long time and it was only then they ran out. The battery life is displayed clearly on the player's display so you will know when you will need to change them. This panasonic takes ordinary AA alkaline batteries or rechargables.
Now let me tell you, I am not the most careful person in the world and I need to express to you now the sturdiness of this player. I have dropped it, on a hard wood floor. The player was no different and did not even skip! In fact, I cannot get this player to skip even if I try my hardest, and I have tried. I even inserted one of my oldest, not unblemished CDs and shook the player as hard as I could for about 30 seconds before giving up.
This player plays everything! Even mini CDs! Believe me, I am one picky person but I am writing this now to fully recommend this player to anyone who is considering buying it. It is extremely good quality for the price and I'd say most people would be satisfied with it.
