Home > Consumer Reviews > Sony D191 Discman Portable CD Player

I had this player for about four months and it was my first portable CD player. It wasn't that good, but I thought it was ok because I didn't know any better. That is, until this player completely quit on me out of nowhere and I bought an AIWA player that's the same price as this one that's around 1,000 times better than this player.

This Sony model has passable sound, but other than that, it skips almost constantly. I couldn't even walk down stairs without it making that skipping sound almost non-stop. The AIWA V-50 is a smaller player that's almost infinitely better. This Sony model doesn't even have a pause button!

this cd player is no good. It skips constantly,the batteries don't last long,and mine broke after 4 months. Also, the head phones it comes with are horrible.

I bought this a while back when there wernt many dicmans on themarket. I thought that the price was right and it had goodplayback and long battery life, was easy to use and came with pretty nice headphones, so whats not to like, just one thing, that it has no skip protection. If you shake it around too much it will skip. buy this if there is not a better deal , but if there is buy one with antiskip protection. A good rating of 4 for this

I went with this brand because Sony has a good name and the price was right.

The player Skips if you breath to hard and the the sound quality is not very good. They give you a "Mega Base" setting but it should really be called a "destory you music" setting, because if you use this feature at all you cannot recognize the music your are listening to and forget "pause" that is not an option on this model.

If your low on cash and need to replace your CD player fast go for it but if you want something for the long haul, hold out for a better model.

You get what you pay for with this Sony CD Player. Athough with all the faults, this model could have been priced atleast $20.00 less.

This player is ok, it could be better, if they gave it a pause button which is desperatly needed, and anti-skip protection. The cd skips if you even touch the outside of it. It'll last you a really long time, though, I've had mine for over 2 years, and the only problem was once when the stop button stopped working for about a month. The mega bass is really good if you're listining to something besides heavy metal, it emphasises the music. The headphones are really bad, both earpieces on mine broke off, so now I have to hold it onto my head, good for sharing!
