Panasonic SL-SX430 Portable CD/MP3 Player with D-Sound – Customer Reviews
Takes a licking keeps on ticking and doesn't skip!

I love this player. As others have mentioned why pay more for an MP3 player when you can have a CD AND Mp3 player? I have abused this unit biking, skiing, in the car and on hikes. It's been under water and skidded down more trails than I care to remember yet never missed a beat. The wired remote has been a big plus as I then store the main unit in a pac and have the remote on my front pocket. I have finally killed the play button on my noble beast and I will be replacing it with the same model. Killer unit! Do yourself a favor and discard those piece of junk headphones that come with the unit.

Best CD/mp3 player I've used yet.
-
Great CD player, for most people it should be fine. Of course the stock headphones that come with it are junk, but who uses those anyways? Buy a pair of Sony MDR-V6s or the like and then you can hear you tunes perform.
Pros:
In-line remote is handy
Awesome battery life
Reproduces sound quite fine
Never seems to skip at all
Cons:
One can't seek within mp3 files. (Bad if you do 30 minute language lessons like I do)
Just opening the case will cause the CD player to reset and you will loose you last position.
Lacks a display for mp3 id3 tags.
The cons are my only reasons for giving it a 4 star rating, otherwise it's great and is even better than other CD players I've used.11/29/2005 12:00 AM | Rating:
Why buy an MP3 player when you can get a MP3 CD player instead?
-
MP3 players cost hundreds of dollars.
This doesn't.An MP3 CD will hold upwards of 200 songs (depending on length, bitrate and your CDR).
I had an MP3 player, but sold it... and got this instead.You can save the hundreds of dollars you would spend on an MP3 player, and save your songs to CD in MP3 format... I have a CD with 300 songs on it.
The battery life is pretty good hours of play (for an MP3 cd, regular audio CDs get average battery life).
The sound is good for everyday things, but not very loud if you're in a car or airplane or something with loud background noise.
A great player, durable, long lasting and just great!

Good cd-player, terrible headphones
-
I've been using this cd-player for nearly a year now. The quality of the cd-player itself is not bad. It has excellent battery power, I only use rechargeable batteries and it takes forever for player to use up the battery power, so I have no complaints in that area. It seems fairly sturdy and buttons are comfortable enough to press.
On the other hand, the headphones stink. The quality is ok but not the best, i realised when I bought it that I would eventually have to replace the headphones with ones that sounded better. What I didn't count on was the headphones breaking within the first few months. I'm a college student, and I haven't subjected these headphones to any unusual wear and tear. Even though I found them very comfortable, they aren't durable at all, and for the price that I paid for the set, I would have expected better headphones.
If you're willing to fork out a considerable amount of money knowing that its really just the cd-player that you're paying for, then you can buy this product. Just don't buy it thinking that you're paying for a cd-player and headphones, as mine didn't even last a year.7/1/2005 12:00 AM | Rating:

I bought this mp3 cd player for my car.1.The sound is incredible coming from a walkman.2.The battery power outlasted any previous cd walkmans I have ever owned (over 80 hrs)3. CDRs are less than 15 cents these days and you can load up over 10 hrs of music in 1 disc, which makes this, cheaper, and better than an iPod for your car.I have 10 mp3 discs in my car which account for over a 100 albums which I can choose from for my traveling.
