Pros: Construction, Reliability, Great Sound, Made In Japan
Cons: High Cost, Irritating Headphones
Sony used to be the leader in portable discmans about 5 years ago but Panasonic has really made their move in the last 2 years to become the leaders in portable CD players.

Panasonic SL-SW870 Portable CD Player: Have One For The Road

by Ed.Williamson Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 21 '01
Pros: Tough Performer.
Cons: May be a little high for entry level wage earners and others.
Portable sound has gone through quite an evolution in the past 50 years or so. I can remember the first transistor radios back in the 50's and how amazing it was to be able to carry a radio around outside and not have a long cord plugged into a...

There Are Better Cheaper CD Players

by bobtheguardian , Oct 14 '01
Pros: Looks Nice
Cons: Battery Life, Durability, Headphones, Price
When you first take a look, at this CD player it looks stylish, and strong. The headphones also look stylish (maybe), as they wrap around your head. Unfortunately, the CD player is rather disappointing for the price paid.

Headphones: Either...

Unbreakable CD player

by mopar_man , Dec 05 '01
Pros: Quality, very rugged, excellent skip protection, gimmicky headphones,
Cons: Price, not all may like the headphones
I’ve always loved the gimmicks and when I started looking for a portable CD player I found this one and just had to have it.

The headphones weren’t the only reason though.
I needed something with a robust anti-shock and that could...

The Best, but for a price

by astrpjem , May 24 '00
Pros: Shock Protection, versatile, good looking, long battery life (25 hours, WITH the antishock active) headphone remote
Cons: uncomfortable headphones, high price, low rechargeable battery life
I received this CD player as a birthday gift and I could not be happier with its performance. I have taken it everywhere; to school, on the bus, on car trips, this thing can go anywhere that you can take it. Its great on my bus ride to school. I put...

Rock solid

by mortalcoil , Jul 08 '00
Pros: Good sound, great remote, durability, BrainShaker feature
Cons: pincer-like headphones designed for somebody else's head
Compared to other portable CD players on the market, this Panasonic model may not be the smallest, lightest or best-sounding, but it is quite portable, decent-sounding and very solidly constructed. Comparing it to my old Sony is like comparing a Humvee...

Can't afford not to buy!

This Thing Could Survive The Apocalypse!

by jon1981 , Jan 19 '00
Pros: good sound, GREAT anti-skip protection
Cons: uncomfortable earpiece
I've owned quite a few discmen since I got my first CD and I've never been happy with the anti-skip protection... until now. My last discman was a Sony, and although it advertised 10 second protection I couldn't bring it on anything worse than a...

The Greatest You Could Ever Want!

by Lope682026 , Jul 31 '00
Pros: Light, Solid, Durable, Skip Proof
Cons: Nothing
I have seen the kids wearing these and listening to them as loud as they can and I just said I have to have one. I went to the store to find out more about them. I found out that they have a 40sec skip time. I need that really bad. When playing...

My ears hurt!

by knightgt , Sep 12 '00
Pros: Tough as nails, great sound
Cons: Pin earphones hurt--ouch!
I plan on returning the Panasonic Shockwave because I simply cannot stand the earphones any longer. They have a "wrap-around" design, with "pins" that stick into your ears. The pins kill! It feels like some kind of Chinese torture....

Pros: 40 second anti skip, cheap, durable.
Cons: no heat resistant lid
It says it costs 199 but if you look for sales you can get for as low as 100. At that price I believe its the best sports portable diskman.be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be be...

A Runners Best Friend

by QuickGold , Jun 16 '01
Pros: Will NOT skip, looks good, nice carrying handle
Cons: It's not mine :(
When I started running to lose some extra pounds, I quickly realized that running is much more fun and less boring if you have some music to listen to. After discovering that I had no cassette tapes with good music on, I knew that I needed a CD player....
