THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED WAS VERY NICE I LIKE TO BE OUTDOORS JOGGING BIKING RUNNING ITS BEEN GREAT MUSIC SOUNDS GOOD WITH MY BOSE HEADPHONES
Anyhow, the other day I was walking down the street and it slipped from my hand. So it says "No Disc." I look on the ground to see if it fell out and it didn't so I open the discman and there is the disc and about 4 pieces from the centre that hold the discman in. I have dropped it onto the pavement many times before and all that came from it were scratches. It is still under warranty so I'm hoping to get those piece replaced. This time, like usual the headphones (new ones I got from my brother because the other ones are super-uncomfortable and the bass [stinks]) stayed on my head and the jeck came out. So I picked up my discman and hit play. I got this for a birthday gift and took it out walking that night.
(There is no reason to do with the actual discman for why I don't jog with it - it just gets in the way of my focus). Using it for exercising and hooking it to my tape deck were its main uses for the 10 months I have had it. I don't jog with it much - I usually jog without it but it works just swell for jogging. Otherwise the discman (with my megabass headphones) is 5 stars.
Since the player was strapped onto my hand I landed right on it. Throw them away and get a decent set and this sounds great.
Sure enough, its scratched up on the surface, but still works fine. It doubles as protective gear.The only downfall is the headphones included are crap and probably cost less than the packaging.
I should have reviewed these long ago. It never skips either.
I've had the yellow Shockwave casette player and its withstood years of my clumsy workouts and the sound kicks butt. Today I was running with the CD player and tripped on an uneven piece of sidewalk and went flying.
A miracle for runners.
About a week ago I was walking around listening to my music and all of a sudden the music stops. I open the CD player to find that the little thing used to hold the CD onto the player broke off rendering it unable to hold a CD. I purchased this CD player a little more than a year ago hoping that i would never have to buy another. You would think that the last thing to break would be that. The warrenty was only a year so i called tech support hoping that they would be able to send me a new one; boy was I wrong, they ended up transfering me to a local area repair shop who wanted to charge me a rediculous 100 bucks to fix the simple part. The metal encasement seemed to be both durable and sturdy.in other words I didn't expect it to break. Now I am stuck with a working CD player unable to hold a CD.
I've tried the player with a pair of good headphones inside, and the quality of sound is absolutely incredible.In addition to sounding great, this player just looks cool. The sound quality it provides is amazing with XBS turned on and a different pair of headphones. The aluminum casing is strong and durable.
The ones included are fine, but get uncomfortable after extended use. The rubber grips held you hold the player securely. I've owned my SLSW860 for about 8 months now and it's going strong.
It's not great, but I didn't expect it to be. I have yet to make the player skip with the anti-skip mechanism on while running. Also, the player has a decent battery life when the anti-skip is turned on.
Also, the free Jog Belt that you can send away for is a really nice addition to this CD player and I would encourage anyone who plans on using this CD player for running to get it.
