Panasonic SL-S360 Personal CD Player

Pros: No-nonsense design/functionality, durable
Cons: Sound quality at high volumes, basic features at a high price.

Back in the 20th Century, there was a CD player that held its head up high. It was bland, sure, but the reliability, dependability, and a ten-year-old's smile made it special. I was that ten-year-old. The CD player: A Panasonic SL-S360. I ...

Pros: Outstanding music quality. Great overall product
Cons: Does not conserve batteries that well

As I started out on my journey to find a portable CD player that really could hold its own, I had no clue where to begin. I looked all over the place to find a CD player that would not only stand up to my high expectations, but also that would not end...

Pros: Good battery life, low price, has never skipped in 10 monthes, overall good value
Cons: You cant have a backlight LCD when not plugged in, but ultimatley that really doesnt matter

When I first decided to buy a CD player, i did my research on about every player that the i could find on the internet. In the end i chose the Panasonic SL-S360 because of its amazing battery life (24 hrs. on 2 AA batts.), excellent skip protection (40...

Pros: portable
Cons: not the best sound

This CD player is exactly what I was looking for in a CD player, it has a car kit, its affordable, and also has a bass in the headphones. The car kit has come in very handy, and it sounds a lot better with the bass feature in the headphones. One of the...

Pros: Great ESP2, Good looking, Long lasting
Cons: No battery life teller. laser is weak

Well I needed a good cd player, with good ESP2 and it was pretty cheap so I got his one. THis was my first cd player with esp. So I wanted to check it out. I would open the lid, stick like a q tip in the whole so the cd would still play when it was open,...

Pros: Never skips, good battery life.
Cons: Will die if heavily used.

It doesn't skip. It really doesn't. It also sounds really good. However, take into mind that a lot of these people writing reviews about the SL-S360 are probably writing their reviews just after they got theirs, or maybe a few months into ownership....

Pros: Simple, easy to use, great anti-skip and sound quality
Cons: Doesn't read some CDR discs, doesn't come with a car kit, headphones are cheap

After researching this CD player on consumersdigest.com and here on epinions.com, I decided to buy it. So far I have not had any problems with it-- it plays CDs great and the sound quality is the best. (Try listening to Creed's "Higher" with...

Pros: design, sound
Cons: no AM/FM radio

I bought this product because I was sick of just sitting there after I finished my test. Luckily, my teacher lets us play our portable cd players so I finally decided to buy a cd player. I'm glad I found this one. It was the best looking one I could...

Pros: Fair sound quality at a good price.
Cons: Some features don't work well or are annoying.

My main complaints about the SL-S360 have to do with its features. I don't like that it defaults to auto-repeat and turns the bass boost off each time you turn it on. I wish it remembered my settings from the last time I used it.

Once I forgot...

Pros: Indestructible, great sound quality, nice small size
Cons: Average headphones

Almost a year ago, I decided I needed a new portable CD player. I went into a local store and asked the clerk what he recommended for a students income. He showed me the Panasonic SL-S360 (I'll refer to it as the 360)and told me that it was one of the...

Pros: Anti-Skip
Cons: A tad bit expensive

Do you jog? Are you tired of listening to your walkman? Want to listen to a CD? Well this is the CD Player for you. You can carry it in your hand as you jog and you won't have to worry about the cd skipping. Not only does it not skip, it provides great...

Pros: Lightweight, pretty, plays functionally
Cons: The buttons are raised, so I often press them when not on hold

Rewritten on August 17th I purchased this CD player in hopes of getting an alternate to my current, so I wouldn't have to toggle between a stationary portable and a portable portable. Anywho, I read several epinions on this product (What a useful...

Pros: Great cd player, great price
Cons: none

I recently purchased an awesome Aiwa mini disc player, and I wouldn't rather have any other portable music system except maybe this cd player. While it is not the best on the market, it gets the job done for a reasonable price.Its forty second...

Pros: anti-shock
Cons: open button can be pressed by mistake

first of all i bought this product after being sick and tired of my old one which had NO anti-shock, no hold button, no repeat, and was big and bulky. this discman is the complete opposite. it has a 40 second anti-shock that seems you could practically...

Pros: light weight and small
Cons: expansive and silver gets a little scratched up

i obtained this product as a present seven months ago, and it is still like brand new. i jog with it every morning and the 40 second skip works perfectly. the silver really gives it a new look anytime. it is a simple machine that anyone can understand...

Pros: Great sound quality, nice features
Cons: none to speak of

In recent years, CD technology has steadily been slowing down. These days, a $90 portable CD player is just as good as one that sells for $150. The $90 may not come with as many accessories, but the quality of the player will be just as good.

...

Pros: cheap, durable, great sound
Cons: the headphones aren't great

I received this cd player as a gift during a holiday party, and I absolutely love this thing! The quality of the sound it plays is great, the durability of this thing is amazing, and the pricing for this cd player is great!

The first thing...

Pros: NEVER skips

Technology, gotta love it :) Gone are the times of trying to listen to a cd on the go and it skipping everytime you breathe!! I highly recommend this to any jogger or person who loves to rollerblade! With it's forty second anti-shock II skip protection,...

Cons: Honestly nothing...

I bought this c.d player because i was looking for an 40 second anti skip, under the price of 100 dollars. I needed an anti skip option because i jog and i am always on the go. I like the company Panasonic
because it has a rep for great sound...

Pros: lightweight, sturdy
Cons: poor headphones

I work in a lab. This may not seem relevant to the functionality of my portable cd player, but it is. In a lab, everyone has a cd player, and yours must be able to drown out the others, or you will work in a world filled with a scary mix of opera and...

Pros: Battery life, anti-skip, crystal clear sound
Cons: not anything to speak of!

I have bought many portable cd players over the years and was never happy with any of them. There were always problems with each, until i bought my Panasonic SL-S360 portable player. This product has so many options, it has never let me down and i have...

Pros: long battery life, compact size, great sound
Cons: not water resistant

This portable CD player has 40 seconds of anti-shock memory generation 2. In other words it will probably never skip. It is compact and has an increadibly long battery life time of up to 25 hours. It also comes with bass boost, built-in charging...

Pros: cheap and great
Cons: nothing that i have found

THis portable cd player is great. The price also boosts up the reason to buy. Today there are soo many different types of portable cd players, and most of the good ones are way too expensive. The skinny body is also a plus for carrying around. The 40...

Pros: Sleek design, lightweight, 40-second anti-skip, fully functional, low price
Cons: skips easily if not in anti-skip mode * display does not light up

I am most definitely a fan of Panasonic products, and I am happy with this portable cd player (Model SL-S360). HOWEVER, do NOT purchase this particular model. I did and I was disappointed as soon as I got it.

I wasn’t...

Pros: Great quality, never has skipped, includes everything needed, and a good price.
Cons: None.

I got the Panasonic SL-S360 Portable CD Player for Christmas, and let me tell you, there is nothing better that you could need. Sure, there are more expensive ones, but you pay a lot of money for little things that you will probably end up not...

Pros: Plays CDRs
Cons: skips sometimes

I bought this portable CD player because I was looking for on that wouldn't skip as much as my old one. i would say for the most part the skip proof technology works. I usually walk with it in my backpack on campus and have no problems with skipping....

Pros: Overall Score 99%
Cons: there are no cons to this product.

When I first recieved this product as a gift this christmas I was amased at the quality of this product. It is very durable and high quality I had my friend check it out for an overall reveiw because he's good with stuff like that. He gave it a soaring...

Pros: some skip prevention, good battery life
Cons: can't actually run with it, hold feature annoying

I bought the CD Jogger because it supposedly would not skip when I ran. It even comes with a convenient strap so you can hook it around your waist and run with it. However, if you really try running, it skips like mad. It can handle walking, and this...

Pros: takes a licken and keeps on ticken
Cons: will not survive a nuclear holocaust

I used to work for Sears electronics and to show customers the quality of cd players we would pound away at them when they played. Anyway we would beat the Panasonics like there was no tomorrow and for months they just kept on playing. Also, whenever...
