Sony D-EJ106CK Walkman Portable CD Player with Car Kit (Silver)

Sony D-EJ106CK Walkman Portable CD Player with Car Kit (Silver) Review

See more picture

I bought this CD player at Best Buy using a gift certificate I received for Christmas, and I also layed down more for a 2-year warranty (hard to turn down), which is good for repairs or replacements at Best Buy. This is a good CD player for the price. The sound is excellent, especially with the bass boost on. It sounds great coming from my 6 1/2" Infinity speakers. The car accessories that come with it are pretty nifty, too. I was torn between buying an in-dash CD player and this, but all-in-all I'm happy with my purchase. It works out especially well for me, since I am allowed to listen to music while I'm at work. Most of my day is spent working, so I'm definitely getting my money's worth. There are a couple of drawbacks, though. The button to open the CD player pretty much sucks, especially when you're trying to open it while you're driving. It can be a downright dangerous task at times. The volume contol buttons aren't much good either because they're really small and are also a pain to mess with while driving. The good outweighs the bad, though, so in my opinion it's worth the money.

Almost a Buyer of this - A Reviewer - USA
Why would anyone fork over 60 bucks for this, when much cheaper options are available for allowing you to play a CD Player through an existing cassette tape player. Makes no sense.br /br /Oh, I get it, High profits for Sony, lol.br /

What's with the BEEPS?! - D. Song - Laguna Niguel, CA
Wow, what a lousy CD player! I don't know about the sound quality coming out of the headphones, but the noise coming out of this unit through the cassett adaptor is unacceptable. What's even worse, if you were to change tracks or pause, there's a SCREECHING loud BEEPING noise. What's with that?! Stay away from this one folks.

I do not recommend purchasing this unit. - Unhappy with Coby - Sunnyvale, CA
This unit did not work and I returned it to Coby for a refund. Their customer service department told me I needed to send them another .00 for them to send it back to me so that I could send it to Amazon. This was after I paid .00 to ship it to Coby in the first place! I found Coby's customer service department to be very rude and unaccommodating. They also didn't list in their product description all the things that I would consider standard that this unit does not come with and they told me I could just buy the adaptor and other accessories that should come with a unit like this. Amazon.com stepped in with great customer service and gave me a full refund. This will be the last time I buy from COBY.

I love this! Not only does it sound great but looks cool as well. I place it in my "walkman" belt and go on my way! I use this mostly at the gym. I have used it on the Treadmill, Stairmaster, and even have used it while doing step aerobics! No problem. It had skipped on me only once or twice, but I haven't adjusted the skip on the player. I give it an A!

Does the Job-for a while - D. Spamer - Exton, PA
This CD player was great at first. My kids used it all the time, especially on car/bus rides to school. However, after a few months of sitting in a carefully selected backpack pouch, buttons stopped working. They were not very sturdy and the batteries started to run low faster. Good as a temporary fix, but not a sturdy system.

worked about six months - Zak - Erie, PA
Although I did liked this CD played When it worked. One day in December of last year it didn't worked any more. The play button will not would not work anymore.

this player is excellent. i have had it for over a year and i can vouch for the fact that it is skip free, amazing quality and the id3 tags works like a charm. couple of gripes: no rechargables and no AC adapter but it is still undoubtably a great deal at 50$ brlack of remote and backlight could be reasons for this low cost. however, the quality of playback and skip free good sound makes up wholesomely for it.bri also have a panasonic mp3-cd bought a month back (hence newer) and yet i feel the RCA scores over this one on pure clarity and skip free music.bryou cant go wrong withthis one as a good low cost mp3 cd player

Still a good unit to have - IanM - Ontario, Canada
After owning this item for many years, I can say it's given me plenty of good use. It does occasionally have problems with skipping (a very harsh quick buzzing noise) or garbling, but more often than not it works perfectly fine.br /br /One important note: this unit prefers CDRs to be recorded using "Mode 2/XA". Many cdr burning programs default to Mode 1, but in Nero you can choose Mode 2/XA. Mode 1 CDRs may not play very well, if at all, so beware of this. It's possible newer RCA models will have the same issue. br /br /If you can find this unit used or in a discount bin for cheap, grab it.

Great little CD/MP3 Player - -
I've had this CD player for a while and I love it. It's great. Good sound and as others have noted, it doesn't skip and I've tried. Batteries seemed to last ok.pMy complaintsbr1) - The cord of the remote is broken after 6 months of careful use. I don't know if RCA or someone makes a replacement.br2) - Random - what the %*#^% is the problem there? Random to me means different songs every time. This thing seems to generate a random list and plays it in that same order every time. Is that a common problem with CD players?pPretty minor - you won't go wrong for this price.

Sony D-NE330 Walkman Cd MP3 Atrac Player W/Remote

Sony D-NE330 Walkman Cd MP3 Atrac Player W/Remote Review

See more picture

This Sony D-NE330 Walkman has nice sound, reads ID3 Tag, comes with a remote, looks slim and sleek, has a hole for lanyard and plays MP3 CD for 40 hours on 1AA battery. The only one thing missing is the radio. Although the remote does not have LCD, and the LCD on the player does not have backlight, it is still an excellent CD walkman. The CD player makes some noise when reading the CD, but it is not a big problem for me. My Sony D-NE330 Walkman is black color, and I really love it. br /br /The D-NF430 is what I wanted in the beginning. They look almost identical but the D-NF430 model has a radio. However, I could not find D-NF430 in store or on the internet, so I bought this one. It looks beautiful and sounds beautiful. I especially like the remote control. My Sony D-NF420 has a radio but no remote control, both of them are very good MP3 CD player. Can't go wrong with Sony CD walkman :)

My favorite CD Walkman - Mark J. Strong - Charlotte, NC
I've tried almost all of the Sony CD Walkmans, including the top-of-the-line D-NE20 and D-NE900, as well as the current D-NF340. In my opinion, this player captures the great sound of the D-NE20 at a much lower price, and the sound/volume of the D-NE330 with equalizer and "clearbass" is superior to the D-NF340, which does not have the equalizer. Lack of a radio on the 330 is not a problem, I never one anyway. Buttons on the remote are diminutive and a bit harder to use compared the D-NF340, but you can clip it to your belt, which is very convenient. The remote for the D-NF340, while excellent, hangs free (I use these players in the gym exlusively). With a high-end earphone such as the superb Westone 3, you have amazingly rich sound with full bass that blows any MP3 player right out of the water. Get one before they're all gone.

OLD SCHOOL BUT A GOODIE - Qrysta White - New York, NY United States
One hard to find item these days. Pretty good sound quality. A few choices for tone customization. No back light. Hardly needed though not much song information there anyway.br /br /Does beep with every press of skip fwd or back. Plays a CD with both MP3s and WMA files without issue. Buttons feel flimsy both on remote and on unit but single battery lasts forever. These are still lovely to have for private listening for those of us who just don't want to convert or buy-all-over-again a large cd collection.
