Advantages: Cheap, good brand, good looks, good sound Disadvantages: Niggling little faults- see op. Batteries not included.
...around I settled on the Sony DE351. I was impressed to find a Sony product for just £39.75 at Index, and it had "ESP-MAX" anti-skip protection and a bass-boost function.
The model listed in the Index catalogue was actually the Sony DE330, but when I got to the till they said they'd sold out and would I accept a substitute model, the DE-351? Since it looked identical I said no problem. From looking at other reviews on Ciao, it looks like this may ... ...It had a pair of Sony "in-the-ear" headphones which fitted comfortably enough in my ears, a mains adapter which meant you could plug the CD player direct to the mains to save battery power, and a instruction booklet.
However I found it easy to set up and use without referring to the manual. Simply insert the batteries, guided by the diagram within the battery compartment, plug in the headphones in the clearly-marked headphone jack, pop in a CD and ...

Advantages: Has mains adapter so won't drain those expensive Batteries Disadvantages: Basic CD Player
...as with many of the Sony CD Players. They are very reliable and are brilliant if you want ot use them when you are out, or perfect when you are at home.
Dixons sell this product at £59.99 and for electronics I always buy from a high street retailer just for piece of mind and if anything does go wrong, I can easily just pop it back.
You can buy it from www.empiredirect.co.uk for £54 including postage and packaging. This is attractive with a 10% ... ...with you having to send it back to them to have it repaired if it goes wrong. With Dixons, or anyone like them, they will just swap it over there and then.
It also looks very nice too. It is highly professional and with easy to use controls. The quality of the product is very high indeed, being it Sony! However, if you are looking for a portable CD player at this price, they all will be good quality.
In general you find Sony's can be around 10% ...

Advantages: LONG battery life Disadvantages: Nothing yet
I bought this item on E-Bay and have been happy ever since, I wanted a CD Walkman but not one that was too expensive!
I have had this now for 2 weeks and only put in ''normal'' batteries and it is still going! I have yet to change it. I listen every morning to work and every evening back and it is still going! This has truly amazed me as I assumed I would need rechargable - but on normal batteries it has lasted 2 weeks which is a total surprise!
... ...if you prefer more bass then it sounds awesome. The sound is quite good and goes quite high although you wouldn't need all that loudness but its there anyway!
There is also a key lock which is excellent so you can play the whole CD without it changing if you press another button by accident, If you prefer to play the CD back to back, repeat a song or shuffle it has that too. Its quite light considering and the earpieces are of good quality. If you ...

Advantages: Shockproof Disadvantages: Headphones it comes with are odd shaped and dont fit ears correctly
I have owned this Portable CD Player since December 2003, and I can say I am very happy with its performance and sound output.
The sleek silver styling and chrome buttons and finishes give it that very expensive look but only cost £39.99, it also has a digital display that shows the track number and song time and also displays the different functions. and volume level.
It takes two AA batteries or can also be powered by a 4.5Volt adaptor. The sound ...

Advantages: Good Quality Disadvantages: Patchy sound when headphone isnt in correctly
This is a very solid personal CD player with a range of features and an excellent battery life. One set of batteries has lasted me 6 weeks with around 1 1/2 hours a week listening time.
It sits happily at the bottom of my bag and plays as i walk along.
It plays CD's and CD-R/CD-RW so it is compatible with home-ripped music.
But if the headphone jack isnt situated at the correct angle, the sound goes fuzzy, on mine anyway, dont know about all of ...
