Panasonic SL-CT480 Personal CD Player

Pros: Small, battery life, ease of use.
Cons: Silly battery system, could be louder, not many options.

Intro:
I've been using this discman (borrowed from my girlfriend) until I can get my new minidisc player. It's come in very handy considering I don't have any other portable device at the moment.

Sound:
My biggest gripe...

Pros: Looks, Size, Price
Cons: Features

Intro... I bought this player...

I bought this player online for about 80 dollars at
www.cdw.com. When I first saw it the first thing that shocked me , if you will, was the way it looked. It had no edges and it looked like they...

Pros: Nice fashionable styling and color. Excellent sound and battery stamina.
Cons: No AC adaptor included and headphones are at times too boomy.

The Good:

Nice unit design and styling that is very slim. Just a little thicker than your regular CD case. Oval shape is just about the size, in diameter, of your CD making it not too bulky to carry. I have seen units from Sony, Aiwa and...

Pros: Unusually Slim, AA or AAA Batteries, 35 hr. playback!
Cons: Repeat Button doesn't start at beginning of track, not back-lit light.

I exchanged my Sony D-EJ621 for the Panasonic in search of better sound quality and I found it. This unit is unusually slim, slimmer than any Sony model in the market today, and accepts both AA and AAA batteries. The only drawback to this feature is...

Pros: Long battery life, light weight & compact, great sound
Cons: Headphones uncomfortable

I bought this CD player almost 5 years ago. I can't remember what I paid for it but it was a bargain based on how long and how often I have used it.It has played exceptionally well in all types of situations at the beach where I primarily use it. Also ...

Pros: good sound, style, slim.
Cons: not backlit, flimsy battery holder.

bought this a few years ago.
beat it up a lot since then...lots of scratches and stuff across it, but it still works great.
i like how it takes both AAA and AA batteries. however, i lost the thing that makes it take AAA's. also...there's a lock that keeps the cover to the battery compartment on. i broke that off (little piece of plastic), but the cover still stays on there, so it's not that important.
.
what i like:
slim, easy controls, long battery life, good sound, the style of it...hot.
.
what i don't like:
can't see the display when it's dark (not backlit), the lock for the battery broke off.
.
i'd recommend this to anyone in a second.
