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 a47dodge from Tucs, www.circuitcity.com
this walkman cd player with radio works well and the price is right.

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.).

the controls are easy to use.

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
even if the players were free, the cost in frustration and disappointment is becoming too high a price to pay.
from www.amazon.com
when first using it, it is an effective inexpensive cd player.
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.

it used so much power to run the cd player that i was changing batteries every few days.
from www.qvc.com
of all the portable stereos i have owned over the past 20 years, this was the most disappointing.

jWIN JXCD566WHT Portable Audio CD Player

$31.00 Est. at Amazon

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
there is still occasional skipping when i listen to audio books while i walk, but it's certainly a big improvement over my old cd players that didn't have this feature.
