Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great CD player!.......2006-03-22

Love this thing to death! It has great bass, great volume, and it can shuffle too. Its not a hassle to use either, just stick in a CD and press play! I've dropped this thing loads of times and it doesn't skip at all- and the headphones are great too. The only thing bad about this is the clasp which which broke off mine (but a rubber band can hold it together. xD ), but I don't blame it- it was a hard fall! I paid 50 dollars about two years ago for this, a bit much- but there are pretty decent prices nowadays for this thing.

2 out of 5 stars Nice features, but not durable.......2005-07-23

Well, I was looking around Wal-Mart for a new CD player. They had a few Durabrands, but I was scared to buy one because of their lack of durability and quality in the past. They had a few Maganvoxs (spelling check?), but the look wasn't too appealing. They had some Sonys, but they were kinda pricey, even though the money was worth it. So, on to Target (which had a bigger selection anyway).

They had GPX, but similar to Durabrand. They had the Virgin Pulse and I've read poor reviews about it in the past.

Okay, you're sick of me talking about the selection...alright alright alright already.

Anyway, I found this. It had exactly what I was looking for, and the blue color catches attention. The price kinda turned me off, but I really did want it.

I'm glad I still bought this. The sound quality is excellent, and features not one, not two, but three bass setting. One is no bass excelerator, SXBS, and SXBS+. The headphones are a bit akward to use, but once you put them on, they sound great, and they become quite comfortable.

It took me about 15 minutes to figure it out, but the manual was very clear, and then I got used to it, though the beginners may want to stay away if they can't read the manual.

The battery life lasts much longer than my old player (RP2472). 72 hours will last you awhile!

The durability is quite bad though. While in a backpack with little to medium pressure, the LCD was completely shattered to point that the player was useless and the broken LCD pieces would scratch the CD playing.

Overall, skip this one.

* - This is a very similar review as the SLSV570, mainly because all of the 2004 models are not durable, however, I highly recommend you to check out the 2005 models, I've owned the SLCT582V for almost 4 months now, and it is VERY durable. Just see the amazon.com avaliable date and if it has a date in 2004, skip it.

5 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for..........2005-01-11

I've had many portable CD players in my life and while I've only had this Panasonic SL-SX330 model a couple months now and can't vouch for long durability, I am thus far satisfied with this product. I'd say this is in-between being a cheap and an expensive player so expect a pretty decent sound that's very clear with a good amount of bass, but nothing mind-blowing. At least the headphones are fairly comfortable, even after wearing them awhile, which is extremely important to me, and ANTI-SKIP as well as HOLD are essential features included here so A) you don't have to worry about the songs jumping around every time you move and B) so it doesn't accidently start playing if you have it in your bag. You'll also be able to wear the headphones without continuously having to push them up if you decide to work out or go running since it can clasp lightly around your ears if you want them to, but you can also rest it on your head while listening to music in an airplane, train, car, ect., and fortunately this does play CD-R and CD-RW's for those who enjoy to burn mixed compilations like I do. And in addition to all that there's long-lasting battery life too, which is quite uncommon in most portable CD players.

What I really don't understand is all these negative reviews. Like I said in my subject title, you get what you pay for - nothing more, nothing less. And if you drop ANY CD player, no matter how much you spend on it, it's more than likely going to break so don't claim this to be a horrible player simply because of your own carelessness or for expecting more than what this is worth.

1 out of 5 stars Poorly made.......2005-01-09

I purchased two of these as Christmas gifts for my children. The plastic close clasp is the worst: it broke the first day during normal use on one player, and on the other player, it broke the first time it was dropped. Definitely not worth the money!

4 out of 5 stars A fine product........2004-12-22

Having listened to this player using my Sennheiser 433 headphones, I found the volume to be perfectly ample. I am very satisfied with this product.
