Sony DEJ621 Walkman Portable CD Player Review

I have had the Sony DEJ621 CD Walkman for 3 years now and it has given me many, many hours of listening pleasure in that time. Whilst not the smallest or compact of CD Walkman's, it is perfectly acceptable in size (unless fashion statements are important to you). It is quite pleasing to the eye, without being overstated in its design. Most of the controls are easily accessible and operate smoothly. One exception is the G- Protection button (used to reduce skips and drop outs if your Walkman is always on vigorous move). It's inconveniently located in the CD compartment, so if you need to turn it on, you must remove the CD. Opening the lid also causes the CD to start playing from the beginning. It is a small flaw in an otherwise excellent machine.pAn excellent feature of this Walkman is the ability to program tracks in the order you want them. A shuffle and repeat feature also add value. With 2 levels of bass boost and an audible fast forward and rewind, this Walkman has very good features for the price. You also get Sony's excellent warranty coverage.pAs for audio quality - I have no complaints. With G-Protection switched on, there is some loss of quality, but this a small trade off at being able to listen to your Walkman whilst doing even the most vigorous of movement. Even with G-Protection switch off you can smoothly move with Walkman without many drop outs. The quality of the audio not only depends on the Walkman, but also the headphones. So get yourself a good set of headphones and the audio quality will be excellent.pOne small grip is the battery life. Ordinary batteries do not last long, so unless you get yourself rechargeable ones, a lot of money will be spent buying batteries. Even with the cheapest rechargeable battery set, you get many hours of listening before needing to recharge them.pThe Sony DEJ621 is an excellent CD Walkman from an excellent company with a great set of features that are (mostly) easy to operate. What more could you ask for at this price point??pHighly recommended.

great! - -
This cd player is great! i really love it. I have had alot of cd players(all of them broke) but this one really stands up to what i do. I take it on all my trips with me. it has been out in the cold (40d) and still played. it has been dropped (alot!) and stepped on (by a horse, dont ask) it still works like it did the day i got it! I also go mtn biking and running with it. the skip protection is excellent. it never skips. one problem with it are the headphones that came with it. they are junk. after about 2 months with them it started to play in only one ear. i recomend you get some good headphones to go along with this great cd player. i dont know why people dont like it. this is my favorite cd player...ever!
