I have never had a portable CD player before. I did a lot of research
on the internet to compare several different brands of players. I
choose this player, because for this price it was the most complete
player I could find. It has all features I expected, a good anti skip
system (never skipped so far), reads CD-R, good bass, good headphone
and also quite important for me the carkit. .... Overall, a very good player!

I was in search of a good CD player after my old one quit on me so I reviewed alot of brands and came up with Panisoniac. At first I was like OK this is too small to be any good but I took it for a little test with my mountain bike and I rode it across a gravel road over a speed bump and anything else I could find and it didn't skip once even with the anti-skip off! I love music so this is good it puts up with my constant abuse. It is used at least 5 hours a day on average and it hardly ever needs new batteries plus there are these special batteries that you can buy and the player recharges them itself! Because of the price this is a good player for anyone cause you can do whatever you want with it. That is what portable players are for!

I chose did product with my faith in panasonic. I did not use a lot of portable CD players so I cannot think of the comparison with other brands. I like this CD play because of the fact that
1) it is slim, sleek design, very light.
2) 24+hours playing with 2 AA alkaline batteries wow! I alway admire panasonic in this feature (most of panasonic product use very little energy). Adapter is also included.
3) Good anti-skip, in fact I never notice the skiping during shaking.

Sound is ok, heavy X bass. I used it with my computer speakers/sub. quite nice, but it need a little more volume. Nice for use with the head phone.

When i first got this player i was really impressed with all the stuff it came with (the car kit). It had an AC-Adapter, Car sound converter, a power adapter for the cigarrete lighter slot and overall it's a very good player ^_^! I listen to all my music on this when i go on trips or school or anywhere. It reads my CD-R music great and i have no problems with it. The anti-skip is pretty good though sometimes it skips for no reason... pretty weird considering i have the a-shock feature on and i'm not even moving the player. Anyway i get to listen to my music for a long time even on 2 cheap AA bateries. It's a great CD player and I'm glad i have it

I was amazed by the fact that this machine has never skipped, even on really bumpy roads! The sound quality is quite good with its built in xtra bass functionality. The main buttons are placed directly on top and in the middle of the machine making it easy to see them in your peripheral vision while driving. For the price, I couldn't find a better portable CD player for my car.
