Sony D191 Discman Portable CD Player Review

I got this CD player as a gift at least 2 years ago and it has lasted me for that long. It is of high quality and may not be totally modern but it does play music and that's why you buy discmans right? Anyway, there are a couple things that could be improved. First, it doesn't have antiskip so everytime you even tap it, it will stop and then start up again 10 seconds later. Don't worry, it doesn't damage your CDs or at least it hasn't damaged any of mine. Second, it doesn't have a pause button which really stinks. Third, the headphone that come with it are really bad. The foam is peeling off and the sound is not very strong. Also, after you've had it a while you'll notice that you have to move the little headphone plug around to get the sound to come in with out crackling or only coming out in one ear. brSo if you want a durable CD player, get this!

OK but not great... - -
This is OK except for the missing pause button and it skips constantly. The sound is great with the Mega Bass. I would not recommend this for anyone who would be using this while in motion because of its skipping. I don't see anything wrong with the headphones, though. The Hold button is very useful.

Takes a lickin... - Jamie Boudreaux - Fresno, California
I have owned this one for 5 years now and it's I'm telling ya, it's still working perfectly. I've dropped in many times and it's so durable. The bass on it is pretty good. It shows you when the battaries need to be changed. My only complaint this whole time was that it skips very easily. Whether I'm just walking with it or if I'm in the car and we hit a bump, it skips. I'm buying a new one for the MP3 feature, but I don't think I'll give this one up ot throw it away!
