Aiwa XP-SP920 Cross Trainer Portable CD Player

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Aiwa XP-SP920 Cross Trainer portable CD player features advanced EASS (Electronic Anti-Shock System) Plus to virtually eliminate skipping during active use. With a significantly extended horizontal-motion tolerance range and extremely precise laser pickup focus servo control, Aiwa attacks the problem at the source. The laser pickup is far less likely to mistrack as a result of severe shock, and, should mistracking occur, recovery time is much shorter than with earlier-generation systems. Combined with the digital buffer memory, this design significantly improves the ability of the XP-SP920 to deliver uninterrupted music, no matter what you are doing.

Aiwa's Front Surround design lets the unit render huge, spacious sound. The unit offers two upward-firing speakers in addition to the two normal front-facing stereo speakers. Because the sound from the additional speakers is reflected and just slightly delayed before reaching your ears, you get an impressive surround sound effect with enhanced presence and depth.

In addition, the XP-SP920's Super T-Bass delivers surprisingly deep and powerful bass sound without the "boominess" that characterizes systems with less sophisticated low-frequency enhancement circuits. That's because Super T-Bass was specifically engineered to improve the low-end performance of small speakers, taking into account their particular resonance characteristics.

Q Surround circuitry lets you experience surround sound using just two speakers. Using unique signal processing algorithms based on advanced psychoacoustics, Q Surround creates a phantom center channel, expands the front left and right stereo soundfields, and places virtual surround speakers around you to simulate the effect of a multichannel system. Aiwa portable stereos with Q Surround can thus deliver a rich, all-encompassing soundfield that recreates the "you are there" experience as no conventional compact 2-speaker system can.

The XP-SP920's convenience features include an innovative neckband headphone design that securely holds the earpieces in place, 3-point indicators that tell you at a glance how much battery power you have left, and a stopwatch function with 10-lap memory.

This unit also incorporates equalization circuitry with preprogrammed settings (classical, pop/rock, and jazz) that you can quickly and easily select to keep your music sounding the best. Also included is a built-in exercise monitor that lets you set your own training goals. This feature helps you maintain the proper pace and lets you know when you've reached your target distance or calorie burn.

Good for people on the go.......2002-07-25

This AIWA Cross Trainer works fairly well - it doesn't skip if you run with the CD Player in your hand. However, I've found that even walking with the CD Player in a cargo pocket of my pants will cause skipping. Unlike the Sony Discman player, there is no hand strap on this AIWA model. So if you don't mind holding on to the CD Player while you walk or run, it's a fairly good buy.

The headphones, however, tend to be a bit uncomfortable after a period of time. The little curly things that hook onto your ears put a little pressure on your ears, causing some discomfort. I often use the CD Player but use the more comfortable headphones from a different model.

Great Player.......2002-05-27

I ordered mine back in August. I have used the player alot, and I feel that it is a great little player. It's antiskip is great, it's water resistant, so I don't ruin it if it start to rain while I'm outside with it, and it looks great. The performance of the unit overall is great.

We bought the player at the end of November and gave it as a Christmas gift. It began malfunctioning by mid March. The stereo only works when you pull the plug partway out and the unit also stops playing on a random basis...just turns off for no apparent reason. When contacted, AIWA customer service said 'tough luck... you bought it more than 90 days ago so you pay for service'. These are obvious manufacturing defects and occurred within 90 days of use although the actual purchase occurred a month before it was used. I would have though that AIWA would have wanted to stand behind the quality of their product. It will be the last AIWA product I will buy

Great player.......2002-03-06

I first purchased a cheap CD player for my daughter and found that the batteries had to be replaced just about every other day. I purchased this CD player on it battery usage alone. I had no idea how great this cd player really was. My daughter is 5 and uses this in the car during travel. Never a single problem and is easy enough for her to use.

I run 3 to 5 times a week. I recently purchased a Panasonic jogger CD player and returned it because it skipped so much. Then I purchased the Aiwa XP-SP920. I like the quality of this product however, there is two features that need improving. The first feature is the skip button, it is in an inconvenient place on the CD player. My other complaint is at times the random feature has a mind of its own. I like the 48 second anti-skip, it works very well. I also am very happy with all of the other features on this product.

CD player needs more training.......2005-05-03

Aiwa's XP-SP920UAB3 Sports Cross-Trainer CD Player is a disappointment to say the least. When I purchased this cd player, it was $100.00 and at the time, I thought it was worth every penny. Around 3 months after I bought the cd player, it started making noises and not playing the cd that I put in there. A few weeks later I returned it for a brand new one with a warranty that I bought. The new one seemed to working well and sounded even better than the first one I had purchased. But to my dismay, not more than a month went by and this cd player went dead. And when I say dead, I mean literally dead. Nothing worked on the whole cd player.
A warning to anyone who is thinking about purchasing this cd player, DON'T. It is an over priced piece of junk that breaks within months of purchase. I gave this product 1 out of 5 stars because for how much money you are paying, you should be getting a lot better quality of a product. Save up your money and buy something that is better crafted such as an i-pod.

water, heat, sand no problem.......2004-06-06

This cd walkman is the best a soldier can buy and have it last in the most extreme weather conditions. I am so impresed I would recommend to anyone looking for a die-hard cd player. As everyone has mentioned, the headphone jack to the headphones is all messed up. It shorts out, but can be corrected by buying a better set. I love the sturdy and rugged feel of the system, it's a little heavier and a lot more durable than most out on the market. So, if you are looking for a reliable system, look no further, this has been soldier tried and tested. Hooah!!! Support your troops and President Bush, and let freedom ring.

Isnt 100% non skip but close enough.......2003-08-23

I ordered this product for the second time being that I gave my first to a relative after using it for over a year. This is a great sports walkman because it in my opinion is one of the better brands as far as not skipping(Sony sportman is the overall best)compared to others ive used(5 different kinds in past 10 years). It is not perfect thought because it does have a tendency to skip once in great while but you gotta be really jumping up and down or running rather rapidly for it to do that. Overall any activity you do while using this walkman is not really interfered with. The sound quality is great and the hand strap is a great size for anyone to adjust to. I would recommend it over all the others even though it costs a bit more its a small price to pay for consistency, great sound, and overall enjoyment with less aggrevation from the constant skipping from other CD walkmans that claim to be Anti-skip.

The best unit I have tried for the money............2003-08-08

Out of three portable CD players I have had in the last year, this is the best. The only downsides are that it has no tuner (but you can get it for about twenty more) and the batterhy life isn't quite as long as I would of liked.

I haven't noticed the touchy ear jack problem that others have complained about. The jog-memory works fine while mountain biking and working out so no problem there. The sound is top nothch and I have never had the player open up on me once like other people do.

Bottom Line: An ugly but effective portable CD player that is worth it for the price.

Good if you know how to use it.......2003-04-03

I read other users' reviews and expected a dud. Well, it is a dud if you think you can leave it on the treadmill and race away. The player is not made to withstand the jarring of a treadmill. If you hold it in your hand and run with it, it's fine. I've had no problems with it at all. It is a little unrealistic to expect a manufacturer to make something for $60 that will withstand that kind of bouncing around. Holding it is no problem although it would be nice to have a strap like the Sony one. That's why I give it 4 stars instead of 5, no strap and the headphones are a little too weird for me. No problems with the sound, they're just not the Sony earbuds that I'm used to.
