| jammiej23's Full Review: Sony Walkman D-ES51 Personal CD Player |
I decided about 2 years ago to start jogging. So, I decided to buy a portable CD player. I wen to to Best Buy and they sold this model for $149 it was their most expensive model. I wanted something that did not skip under any circumstances. Well, they could not guarantee it..but this came close! I use it 4-7 times a week and LOVE it! I find that it rarely skips. The times that it does seem to be if the batteries are low and I am running. It has never skipped ever while walking. This is also very versatile. It is waterproof. I have been out in a number of storms with it and never had a problem. This also offers many different programming arrangements and sound choices. I love it! Batteries last quite awhile inside it as well. The batteries are also easily changed. I can change mine while jogging! The sound quality is also wonderful. I only had one problem which is typical of headphone type thing I have ever used and eventually from time to time would get static in the headphones if they got bumped a certain way. The static didn't stay..but the noise just annoyed me. So, I just returned mine after 2 years. Best Buy offered a PSP a type of protection plan where for $49 they would replace this item for free any time I had any problem for 4 years. So, I took it back and got a new one. I was pleased as well because when I bought this it was $149 (not the 179 that epinions states) and I fought the urge not to buy it due to expense and so many of these things come down in price so fast. I was pleased to see they still sell for $149 two years later! I am just unbelievably pleased with this! No problems in rain, bad weather, cold ...just nothing. A very very good product!
