Panasonic SL-SW880K Brainshaker X-Treme Portable CD Player (Black and Red)

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This is a durable portable CD player designed for jogging, walking, and other strenuous activities. Its assortment of features includes bass boost, programming of up to 24 tracks, a dual-lock system for the disc lid, and a built-in battery recharger. The SLSW880 is also water and heat resistant so your CDs and the system are protected. It sports a "hold" feature that prevents the user from unintentionally turning the player on and draining the batteries or accidentally hitting "stop" in the middle of a track.

The headphones have a special built-in amplifier in the main unit that picks up and boosts the bass signal around the 50 Hz range. The Virtual Motion Sound System transforms bass signals into vibrations. This allows you to actually feel the vibration of the bass signals. The remote control is built into the headphones for easy access while on the go.

Since the SLSW880 was designed for rugged activity, the most important feature is the antiskip function. It stores up to 40 seconds of data in its memory buffer to fill in the gaps caused by bumps and vibrations. So whether you are mountain biking or trail running, you can still have tunes. This player comes with a handgrip so you can hold it while jogging. Aside from these features, all the basics are covered as well. The SLSW880 includes repeat of one or all tracks, skip/search, memory/recall keys, and 24-track random-access programming.

Three so far..........2001-05-23

...because I buy them for friends!...the headphones make it...I'm spoiled forever now...Great sound, however, they could fit a little better...I've tried to make this one skip and I can't, even my teenage nephews cannot...The best portable tape/CD player I've used so far...

Not at all comfortable.......2001-05-15

The earphones are totally uncomfortable. It skips sometimes on a slight move and complicated to use. I don't jog with it.....I meditate with it..Had it been easier to return..I would have. But for now..I'll have to wait for it to die to get my money's worth. Watch the thing might last forever!

Definately worth it's price..........2001-05-05

Well, I've been searching for a new CD player for a while, since the one I had was the Sony Discman from 3 years ago. I'm a high school student and I *LOVE* music and being in style, so when I decided to get a new CD player, I was willing to pay a lot of money to get a high quality, stylish CD player that can handle the harsh high school environment (if you went, or go to high school, you'll know what I mean). Well, the first thing that caught my eye was the headphones. I liked the idea of having a mini subwoofer on the back of my neck because I listen to fast music with lots of bass. I also loved how the CD player looked like. For about a month, I just went from site to site looking at it's reviews and searching for a good price for the CD player. Anyways, there's a red and black one with silver accents (the one I got) and a blue and silver one. Some reviews said this product sucked and max volume was too low, and some said the headphones didn't do much and were uncomfortable, and some said the CD player didn't work right or something. Well in my opinion, this CD player is just fine. Actually, it's AWESOME!! At first when I got the product, I was disappointed, but then I realized I didn't plug in the headphones all the way. When i finally had control of the product, IT BLEW ME AWAY!!! The vibrating may not really be bass, but it sure feels like it, and it definately kicks the music up and makes it a lot more intense and fun to listen to. For so much options built into a small CD player, it has AMAZING sound quality. This may not be Bose (for you music product illiterates, Bose is probably the most expensive and high quality brand of sound products), but it can definately match up to it. The headphones seem to make the music even more powerful than the huge Sony system in our living room. So if sound and bass is what you're aiming for, this CD player definately has it. As for the headphones, they aren't nessecarily uncomfortable, but I have to admit, after a few minutes, the headphones do begin to hurt. They feel fine for the first half hour or so, but they get slightly painful. But it's still worth the extra bass it gives you, so just use the little pads it comes with. The headphones are also very light. I had expected them to be like huge and heavy because of the bass thing, but its surprisingly very light. Although I haven't broken it YET, the band does seem kind of weak so be careful. These headphones by it self [are expensive]. I am also a very clumsy person. I tend to spill things and drop things and hit them on accident often. This CD player is water-proof (I can spill my drinks on it and not worry! not that I do it on purpose..), it has a very sturdy metal/aluminum cover, and it has a HOLD option, which prevents things from accidently touching it and messing up your songs or whatever. One thing though, the CD player's inside seems a little unsturdy. When you open it, you see the band connecting the controls on top of the CD to the inside of the CD. I dunno.. it just kind of makes me feel like it might break or something. Also, if you're panicing because you can't find where to put the batteries, it's also on the inside. In a way,t his may be strange or you may think it's bad, but it prevents batteries from falling out, and also, just because it's new doesn't mean it's bad. When you are done playing the CD player, you can push a small button in the middle of the CD (where it clutches the CD)and it will pop out. Easy. Overall, this is definately a high quality CD player with great sound and great bass and looks stylish. Except, I'm not too sure about the sturdy thing.. the insides of it just freak me out. That tiny little plastic band... anyways, I hope this helps! Get it! I can't think of a better CD player!

There's not too much to comment on, so I will keep this short and sweet. I gave it 4 stars because I thought the headphones were very ackward and uncomfortable, otherwise, i think this is a great walkman. 2 Batteries last for 24 hours in this little cool looking machine, and the sound is really good. I recommend purchasing it, but just make sure you alread have headphone.

WOW! I love this CD Player. Not only is it the coolest looking CD player in the market (I love the red and black color, and its so compact!), it has the best sound system you can imagine.

Truly, this little, compact, tight CD player is the best. I am an avid jogger/dancer, and my one and only problem was the constant skipping, and halting of any other CD player I had. Well, I have kissed that problem goodbye. I jump, I shake, I just move everything you can imagine, and this awesome CD player does not miss a single beat!

I was soo amazed. Believe me, I had a Sony sports walkman, and this Panasonic SLSW880K rocks compared to it. The remote control feature on the headphones is pretty nifty. The VMSS sound shaker is mind boggling in itself. What else can I say except, if you really want an OUT there sound enhancing and body bumping CD Player, then this is the one for YOU!
