Aiwa XP-V70 Personal CD Player

Pros: 40 sec EASS, 3-step battery, backlighting
Cons: couldn't find any

I am a runner, and one day I finally got sick of listening to horrible sounded tapes as I run. I knew I needed a CD player that not only has a high anti-shock, but was also very durable.

I found this in the Aiwa XP-V70. It's 40 second shock...

Pros: 40 second anti-shock, three-step battery, DSL bass boost
Cons: NONE

I bought this product about a year ago (when it first came out). Let me tell you that it was worth every penny! The reason I bought this player was because it was cheap and sounded great when I tried it in the store. Here is a list of the pros of this...

Pros: Excellent skip protection, great features
Cons: Cheap headphones, Erases memory when it shuts off

After many horrible experiences with other portable CD players in the past I thought I would never buy one again . . . but all that changed when I took home my AIWA.

Sound Quality:
The sound quality is great, and is just like that of any...

Cons: to be determined, but so far I haven't found any

While generally a plane-person, I decided I would experiment with travel options and take a train from New York City all the way upstate. Thrilled at the prospect of staying attached to the ground, I wondered about everything I would see and experience...

Pros: 40 second EASS, Car case, not too expensive
Cons: A little hard to use at first.

When i lost my cd player, I had to get a new one. What to buy? I couldn't decide which one to bye. There were so many selections to choose from. Sony, Aiwa, Eass, Esp: what do I do? Well I guess I want one that's not too expensve and has a lot of...

Pros: Lightweight, takes a lot of jostling to skip, three skip-protection settings, plays pretty much any CD (Recordable, normal, NOT ReWriteable), two high bass settings, Program and random (even programs that play randomly!), HOLD button for those violent car
Cons: Slow seek time, occasionally stops playing songs (totally randomly), VERY short battery life, bass setting (DSL) makes certain songs sound crummy, won't play CD-RWs, Hold button is more loose than other players, bland gray color, changing skip-protection l

Well, there I was. Happy with my old, heavy, easily broken, 8-year old CD player. This early Sony model skipped very easily, and was very bulky and non-portable. Then one day, IT STOPPED WORKING! I took it apart and it was a great learning...

Now, in midst of the wave of Minidiscs and portable MP3 players, my friends actually laughed at me when I told them I purchased a Cd player.

...

Pros: good sound, compact, good price, easy to use
Cons: clunky headphones, occasional problem with skipping tracks

I searched high and low for a CD player that I could use in my car, at the gym, and on a bus before deciding on the XP-V70. I chose it mainly because of the car kit and 40 second shock protection. I also liked the easy-to-memorize buttons, which are...

Pros: full function backlit display with track and total time remaining
Cons: cheap headphones, recommend Aiwa HP-X111

Features you'd expect on a full size CD player are present on the XP-V70. I've had three portable CD players, (2 Kenwoods and a Panasonic) all of which I returned for some reason or another. I just couldn't seem to find a portable player with all the...

I'm a sucker for cool gizmos. I'm all over anything that beeps, flashes, whirrs, or clicks mechanically. This is my reason for purchasing the Aiwa XP-V70. It's small, shiny, and has an backlit display. It passes the coolness exam. However, don't...

When i first saw the 40 second anti skip models out, i was amazed! I was used to the 10, and 40, that was amazing! So i decided to pick up the cheapest one with a respectable brand- aiwa. The sound is great, it does what it is supposed to, the laser...
