Sony Walkman D-FJ401 Personal CD Player

Pros: Stunning To Behold; Untainted Sound; Ease-of-use; Build Quality; Decent Earphones
Cons: No MP3 playback; No In-line remote

PORTABLE MEDIA has took of a storm over the last few years, ever since Personal CD players came out, everyone wanted to listen to their favourite albums on the move. By today’s standards CD personals are the largest of the available mediums you can...

Pros: sleek attractive design, light, doesn't skip, radio tuner included,
Cons: no remote

I essentially agree with all the previous reviews, so I will spare you re-stating what they said. (Hat's off to Michael Hatton's review. Wow!)

First, let me briefly say this SOny D-FJ401 is very impressive- all its features work great. It has...

Pros: Great sound, great reception, feature-rich, DOES NOT SKIP!
Cons: Buttons are a bit small, line out doesn't have same features

Shelling out the extra money for this particular model was justified. Having a FM,AM,TV, and weatherband along with a great CD player that doesn't skip is a treat for anyone on the move. The FM and AM reception is great, I can get stations my home stereo...

Pros: Amazing Sound, Small and Compact, 4 bands, nice headphones, Ease of use
Cons: No remote, price

After my previous Walkman broke, I needed to replace it. I researched here on epinions and planned on buying the Sony DF-200 model. When I went to the store, the TV and Weather bands on the D-FJ401 model caught my eye. It was a bit more expensive, but...

Pros: Great, Innovative Features Easy to grasp controls Amazing Radio Reception
Cons: None

This is an absolutely wonderful CD player. I needed a new one a couple months ago when my Philips broke for no reason and so I researched and bought this one. I have been completely satisfied. I knew it would be good coming from Sony, but I was still...

Pros: Great sound quality, reasonable price, gravity protection, small
Cons: When you press stop, it pauses, headphones are cheap, opens from the side, fuzzy noise

I love the portable technology these days. MP3’s are popular, but CDs gain the big mainstream bucks and they are certainly my favorite media. The D-FJ401 is the second portable CD player that I’ve had. My other one was a D-E451 and it was old...

Pros: Beautiful streamlined design, easy controls, weather bands, TV audio
Cons: Defective headphone plug and audio control on mine

I received this Walkman for Christmas this year. Within a week or so of light use, there was a slight crackling that was audible whenever the headphone plug is touched. Also, the volume control completely stopped working - the volume is stuck at a...

Pros: 4 bands (AM/FM/VHF TV/Weather), long battery life, rarely skips CD's
Cons: Too many overall presets, easy to hit the wrong button when playing CD's

It's been about 8 months since I originally did this review, and in that time I went through a lot with the D-FJ401. Out of that, I've updated this review to reflect the 9 months I got out of this player.

When it first came out, Sony's...
