this is a great portable cd player- i'm 29 & i love it- hello kitty's face is so bright & cheerful, the sound rocks & i've dropped it & it keeps on playing!

i walk a lot, for exercise..the sound quality is the best i have ever had in a walkman and it has a long battery life..light weight and has not skipped once in all of the time i have used it...
from Linda from Maryland, www.circuitcity.com
i think they're much more comfortable thanearbuds and better for when you need to be able to hear other things around you (like when walking or when you want to hear if the phone rings etc.).
from a47dodge from Tucs, www.circuitcity.com
the controls are easy to use.

Rio Volt SP250

$82.00 Est. at Amazon

from btstrap584, www.shopping.com
-can't really use it in high impact exercise. the bottom line: awesome high-end portable mp3 player.
from yusakugo, www.shopping.com
for a 150 clams, the price is just right for high capacity player that is fairly portable.
from markus_kohler, www.shopping.com
pros: good battery life, fm tuner, firmware update cons: worst ever support, plastic case brakes easily (no replacement, no repair) the bottom line: would not buy anything again at sonic
from kasper7, www.shopping.com
pros: plays various formats + fm radio cons: unreliable, poor song nav features, *they're lying about battery life* the bottom line: try a different brand.

*for your information, this kind of portable was selling like "hot cakes" in the uk due to the current economic condition.
from A Customer from Houston, TX, clickfrom.buy.com
get yourself some rechargeable aa batteries, and you are all set.
from www.amazon.com
my sister was missing her portable radio, but she needed a music player too that she could listen to while on the plane or in very remote area.
from www.amazon.com
other than that, i would suggest you buy rechargeable batteries for non-stop listening of the music.

jWIN JX-CD335

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
would be more usable with strap or some type of hangin device-clumsy to pull out of pack each time to alter playback .
from www.amazon.com
don't consider it portable, because it is highly vibration sensitive and doesn't have skip protection- even setting a coffee mug on the desk it sits on can make it skip; setting it on a mouse pad
from www.amazon.com
i got this because my old cd player cannot cope with electrical interference when it is playing in the cup holder on our treadmill and because the amazon photo shows easily accessible controls.
from www.amazon.com
as long as i'm not jumping around while i'm walking along,i can put the unit in my jacket pocket while playing a cd and it works ok.
from www.amazon.com
This is a nice cd player and works well.

from www.amazon.com
the portable cd player is fine for sitting and listening to cd's.
from www.amazon.com
power consumption bad; info about ac converter/ adapter not available; controls confusing; and not worth the money especially with shipping added to price
from www.amazon.com
if you're walking around your songs will skip.
from www.amazon.com
Good price and works great except for the fact you can hardly read what is in LCD display.

from www.amazon.com
i find the sound quality great.
from www.amazon.com
i use portables for listening to audio books while walking and this player was simply terrible - it skipped all the time even snug and safe in my tunebelt and i mostly ended up gingerly carrying it
from www.amazon.com
the cd player does not come with a power cord, so using re-chargable batteries or purchasing a separate power cord are the only real options to satisfy its power requirements.
from www.amazon.com
this cd player works very well...it doesn't skip and is a very simple cd player that serves my needs.
from www.amazon.com
I bought this for my son -- it worked for about 10 minutes and never worked again, despite new batteries, putting it in a case, etc.

from www.circuitcity.com
when i bought my sony portable cd player i was so excited.
from www.amazon.com
well most portable cd players made nowadays use weak amps rated around 5mw to 10mw, i dont know why but i'd guess to either lessen cost or prevent lawsuits of ppl claiming it damaged their hearing.
from www.amazon.com
the 50 hour battery life of this portable cd player is only one of it's many features.
