| reviewingman1's Full Review: Sony Walkman D-F415 Personal CD Player |
Intro... I bought this player at...
I bought this player which is where I buy about all my players because they are ten times cheaper. I got it for around 110 dollars. That is kind of expensive but I got it a long time ago. So far its been pretty good. The only really big thing I don't like about it was the design. I liked it when I first got it, but not now. It looks to well....90's. To much plastic, not enough shiney mellenium looking stuff.

What I Liked... Most things are in this catagory!
This players Pros far out number the cons. The first thing I liked about this CD player was the sound. Even though it is an older player, its sound matches or beats most of the sound qualities on todays players. The next thing I liked was the amount of features this player had. When I say that I am mostly talking about how they added a tuner and it has a built in recharger and stuff like that. On the subject of the charger and batteries, the built in charger was a big convienence because you don't even have to take the batteries out of the player. Although the battery life is not that long, being around 7 hrs, it is OK. Newer players have rechargable battery lifes up to 36 hours. One of these is the D-EJ815. The last cool thing about this CD player is the remote. When this player came out not to many CD players had remotes, now a days alot of the sonys do. The remote is very easy to use and is a big convienence.

What I Didn't Like... Just one big thing.
The only really big thing I did not like about this player was its size. The only people I do not recommend this player to are people who are going to run with it. For that I would recommend the d-ej915, the smallest player available . It is the size of a CD. The only other thing that was iffy on this player was the skip protection. It has sony's second best skip protection, the best being g-protection. The esp time is twentie seconds. Most newer players yield 40 or more seconds of skip protection.

My Final Epinion.What normal people call a conclusion
Overall I would recommend this player to someone who wants a CD player but doesn't care about looks, but cares what is on the inside of the thing. I would NOT recommend this player to anybody that wants a player to ride a bike or run with, It is just to big and doesn't have enough skip protection
