Philips AZ7781 Personal CD Player

Pros: Pretty good sound, small and lightweight, many features, cheap
Cons: Only 25-second ESP, a little quiet and lacking bass, small nitpicky stuff

Pros: Well designed, well built, sounds very good, great features
Cons: Shock protection is good, but not perfect

I got this CD player at Best Buy last Christmas season. I liked it mainly because of the skip protection. It's a huge improvement over my old RCA with 12 second ESP. This baby has 25 ESP3. And I love the way it looks. The whole metallic look is just...

Pros: Great anti skip, nice looking, easy to operate
Cons: low volume level, poor phones

Purchased this at a great price because I wanted to see if modern anti-skip technology had progressed to make personal CD's useful (even a couple of years ago, it hadn't even in the top Discman).

This is a handsomely styled unit, VERY compact...

Pros: Plays burnt CD's
Cons: Open tab in front of player

Pros: Clear, surprisingly crisp sound quality.
Cons: Not that many features. Very simple.

Doesn't anybody care about sound quality anymore? All the reviews on this site talk about skipping and bass boost...but nobody talks about the sound in portables. I used to own a Sony Discman from the early 1990s, with optical out, metal body, gold...

Pros: long battery time, good sound

This is a compact unit, with flush mounted controls that can be...
