What People Say

Pros: Sound is adequate Cons: Poor touch screen function and very poor consumer relations. from Shopping.com When listening to the radio, it does not show in the window pane. Other than that, I think this is a good buy. I like the touch screen when listening to my cds. from Circuitcity.com This is the second one I've purchased in 2006. This one was a gift. Excellent piece of audio equipment. from Circuitcity.com No matter the player's make, philips, sony, panasonic... all the earphones are bad. You need to buy aftermarket newones, to get the real sound quality of the 2581 (and its DBB function). Dont trust in the small earbuds, use fullsize earphones to get the best bass. The touchscreen is delicate, needs some technique but few minutes of practice are enough. The serial of the discman gets blury in some days, so copy it on other place. from Circuitcity.com I really like the TOUCH SCREEN feature ,very simple to navigate Sound quality is good I do not like the Ear Plugs, I prefer Headphones Not able to Preset my favorite FM stations. from Circuitcity.com great deal. but be even sweeter with everythign being totch screen and if i coudl stillsee arest and song title oon cd player and loose the remote. but stillhave it if i chose to. from Circuitcity.com Tiny separate fm player with lousy reception. So tiny i lost it within 2 weeks. from Circuitcity.com Just bought this unit to velcro onto my motorcycle fairing. I bought it because it also has an FM tuner. First off, the headphones lose volume if your running them through the remote. Plus, there is no FM presets, and no FM station indication on LCD display, so your it's your guess as good as mine to what station it's on. A very poorly thought out unit. from Circuitcity.com In general it is a good unit. However, I like listening to audio books that I have made into mp3 files, as well as mp3 music. This is where the Philips fails. Look on the packaging. Look on the directions that come with it. Look on the Philips web page. You will see that it CLAIMS to have a resume functionality. That is to say that you can turn the thing off, and it will start again the next day where you left off. It is only when you go to the product support page that you discover that there is a 'feature': in order to save battery power, resume does not apply when using batteries only when you are using a wall-wart adapter will it resume. Hardly portable. I've tested this on Panasonic and Sony devices, and the resume will hold for more than a day I didn't bother going beyond that. from Circuitcity.com
