SonyD-EJ100 Walkman Portable CD Player (Blue)

It states that headphones and a remote control was supposed to come with it but it only had the cd player. I'm a little disappointed in it, at least it wasn't something I bought for myself but it was for my dad so it's like whatever. If I bought it for my personal use I would probably return it.

I needed a portable CD player for my board review CDs. I know that some stores still sell these but the quality always varied in the past so I wanted a Sony. I had no idea how different one was from the other, specifically, the playback in hours for one set of batteries - some are in the 20s while others in the 70s. I chose this because it was something like 55 hr and the price was right. Works great, playback is clear, long-lasting, and doesn't skip. It has a few features, an AC outlet, a four-pin port for audio (export, I believe), and three levels of bass which my half-broken headphones just distort. Great find!

Sounds really nice and does not easily skip. Really great high fidelity reproduction of music. No splatter or distortion of high notes which is common with off-brand models. The one annoying feature is the loud double and triple beeps injected into the audio channel when you press the pause, play, forward, back buttons, and worse, continuously repeating loud beeps when paused. It is unpleasant and needless, and means you can't pause to talk to someone or listen to something without taking your headphones off.

Doesn't work& it's damaged.

CD player arrived sealed and in good condition. Sound quality is good. Seller responded fast to my queries. Good purchase!

Product came as described however did not work.Tried pre recorded cd, cd-r and cd-rw discs. All didn't play.Replaced batteries that came with player with new ones. Appears to have problem somewhere internally with the laseras it turns off automatically.

Thanks.

But this sure isn't one of them.I agree completely with the reviewers who write that this player is a piece of junk. Before dismissing their reviews and mine as an aberration or as some kind of unwarranted, hostile attack on Sony, please read on.I bought my player about 4 months ago, and it stopped working suddenly just as others have described. The buttons on the lid (play, forward, back, pause) stopped responding (and, no, the unit is not in "hold" mode), and after the display showed "disc" upon initial insertion of a cd, the unit would then become completely unresponsive. On a few occasions, after my initial problem with the unit, it would work sporadically, but the unit would "die" again, after successfully playingone disc. Now it's just stone cold dead.Sure, the unit sounded just fine when it was working. Yes, it's attractively packaged and sleek. But it's still a very poorly made unit. And the "remedy" that Sony is going to offer me and other customers is the opportunity to purchase a refurbished unit (doesn't the very fact that they have an abundance of such units already speak volumes about their quality?) for an additional $29??! Who are they kidding? "Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice..."I guess it should come as no surprise, really, that these units are garbage. It was made in China, probably by very, very low paid (child??) laborers, using very, very cheap components. Why are we all so surprised when these little plastic "toys" fail us? Maybe it's because not so long ago companies like Sony did make quality products that consumers could count on. Not so anymore, and it seems that way across the board.My last Sony walkman actually was damaging my cds by engraving a ring on the very outer edge of the cd. It rendered the disc unreadable on the last track(s). I still can't figure out how it was happening, but it ruined many of my discs. I'm sure I'll be discovering ruined discs for quite some time, since I have a cd collection that numbers well into the thousands. I read elsewhere that other people had similar problems with that very same model player (it's the sports walkman model...the one with the orange trim) damaging discs. My friend's Sony "ghetto blaster" of the same variety is now doing the same thing to his discs, so he only uses cd-r copies in it. But, in any case, what can we do? Sue for damages? Fat chance.No. What you can do is not buy this (or other) Sony electronics products. What I can do is to write a review that warns other consumers about these serious defects. Maybe eventually they'll get the message?Fwiw, I bought a Philips portable as a replacement. It seems like a solid unit, but it sucks battery life so quickly that I'm looking for yet another option. Panasonic seems to have a much better reputation currently, so perhaps that's another product to consider.

The picture was different from what I got. And it did not came with a headset but it was handy and works fine so I hope it lasts.
