Sony D-EJ 1000

Advantages: Good battery time, easy to transport and use
Disadvantages: Poor reliability, started to skip after 2yrs despite anti-skip

I purchased this quite a long time ago, prior to the mp3 craze. I wanted it to use on the school bus and the lengthy playback persuaded me to purchase it over other models. The design is quite nice, at the time it was the slimmest cd player and the metal ring on the lid is a nice touch. If you want to get the full 115 hours of battery life you need to attach a battery connecting pouch which hangs from the cd player ruining the design. If you use ...
...The addition of a remote is quite useful and good to have as to buy it separately it's not cheap. Although there is anti-skip on the cd player I found that after a year or two on the school bus it did begin to skip and I'd have to hold the cd player at certain angles which definitely wasn't what I'd expected considering the price tag of around £200. The sound quality was ok, nothing fantastic but ok. Overall given the choice again I wouldn't purchase ...

Review of Sony D-EJ 1000

A thing of the past

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: not of any use anymore

Ah the old fashioned sony Walkman. . . . . . . . . . . Once upon a time the Walkman's were cool small stylish and the latest trend. In to days world there under the book shelf and forgotten. This sony walkman was once my birthday present. The walkman can still be used on long journeys this one has very good listening quality and is very quiet when used. (UNLIKE MY MATES WHOS CHUGS ALONG). It is very easy to control unlike some of these fancy ipods, ...
...sony walkman is a useful device that is stylish and does not scratch easily (this keeps it stylish forever!) Further more the battery power will last a long time and it will warn you when it is running out. The sony device being very thin is also very portable so you can place it in a back pack and not worry about it taken up space. In addition the sony walkman is very light. In todays time tis is not needed unless of course you have load of cds ...

Review of Sony CD Walkman D-EJ985

Competent CD player

Advantages: Does what it says on the tin - plays CDs - and has a good battery life
Disadvantages: Shocking earphones; not very pretty.

I actually bought this because it was on special offer, and not really because I liked the look of it very much - to be honest, the partly see-through off-white on the lid / grey round the sides / cream on the base is not really very attractive. Looks aside, it does what it says on the tin fairly well - it plays CDs with no problems and the shockproof function is very effective. Another handy feature is the battery monitor which shows you how much ...
...which are easy to put in.) Battery life is much better than in other models I have had, and you can save it by turning off the shockproof function for when you don't need it (for example, it plays without skipping if you're just walking along the road with it in a pocket). Volume also goes up to a good level. However, the earphones provided with it are truly appalling - buy another set or use any you have hanging around (it's a standard connection). ...

Review of Sony D-EJ 000

Good old-fashioned CD player!

Advantages: Simple.
Disadvantages: Old

I used to have one of these, a good old-fashioned CD player! never failed on me, not once. I must admit that i never tried running with it, but walking to and from school with one in my rucksack was never a problem. It's nothing fancy, it doesn't have a built in radio - but who ever uses them anyway? It doesn't have mp3 playback on it, but no-one had ever heard of mp3 when i had mine! The only reason i stopped using mine was because i invested in ...
...course a better way of carrying around large amounts of music, i missed my trusty old CD player! I have to get it out every now and then just to make sure its still working! The sound quality through the earphones it came with was appalling, but i never realized until i got some expensive ones! ...

Review of Bush CDW123

THE PORTABLE CD PLAYER.

Advantages: PRDODUCES QUALITY SOUND.
Disadvantages: : SMALL AND QUITE EXPENSIVE.

Well I have taken Sony as my brand both in games, electronics and other device. This is a very fantastic stereo device with high quality sound out put. In my own case, I most of the time connect it to my theatre sound system and it produces fantastic and good quality sound. The portable Sony stereo comes in a nice blue colour and this is a nice portable machine for music lovers. The most of all is that it has advanced and sophisticated steady sound ...
...wanted a substitute for my Sony Eriksson Walkman phone that has some how low battery life so I had to keep the phone for the purpose of communication only. Sony got it right this time by working specifically on the battery life and they got it. The major factor that makes me to buy these electronic products is the long battery life. It has five play back modes that will enable you in play back CD by enabling you to listen a particular track again ...
