A few years ago my husband’s job required a lot of walking back and forth outside. Since we are also involved in a leadership development group that puts out teaching CD‘s, he wanted a portable CD player to could use to kill the dead time while at work ...

Pros: great sound, nice headphones, cool looks, extended bass

UPDATE: 6/3/06 12:28 A.M. (yes...midnight...)-- I'm completely fed up with this CD player and am planning to get some money off of it at a yard sale (don't get me wrong...I hate those too). It seemed both mine and Freak369's (other review) were accurate, ...

Update May 2007 - Bought a Philips Expanium EXP2550 that will forever replace this piece of plastic.

Sony D-EJ001

I bought this after my Emerson HD8118 was dying a slow death, not because of the batteries. The thing turned to a piece of garbage.

Sound

The sound quality of this CD Player is great. It all sounded great with different headphones I used. The best were the Sony MDR-W08Ls and the V150s.

design

Design is poor. That's all I can say. It looks nice, it's just built cheaply.

Battery Life

ABYSMAL. Buy lots and lots of AA batteries to enjoy this player.

Overall

I do reccomend this, you just need to buy lots of batteries.
