I am a rough guy. I go back packing rock climbing sailing and do almost any extreme activity. I take this cd player every where that I go and it hasn't missed a beat. I have destroyed five cd players before I got this one and in 6 months I haven't had to buy a new one. The head phones are also really cool, the remote is built in and can be easily used. The price is well worth the quality of the machine. If you need a good solid cd player this one is the way to go.

This is one of the best cd players that I have ever used. It will not skip when jogging nor will the batteries fall out because they are mounted on the inside. The headphones have a great sound will excellent bass. The case is made of metal for the most part which brings up the weight but helps a lot when it is droped. The only downsides to this player are that the clips for holding it shut are plastic and not very durrable, and after awile the headphones start to hurt the ears.

I've had this discman for two years, maybe a little more, and it is incredibly durable. I listen to it constantly - when I'm exercising, walking to school, sleeping, doing homework, etc. and it has always performed without fail. I've dropped it numerous, numerous times, even on the cement, and no damage has been done. I've worn it in heavy rain, dropped it in the water, and it still works.
If you are looking for a quality discman, this is definatley the best choice out there.

i have the panasonic slsw860 witch is the same thing as this execpt it doesnt come with the brainshaker headphones and it is good it doesnt skip at all i fell off my bike or u could say i was launched off of it and nothing happend the sound is also good but not as good as it could be cause the skip protection degrades the sound its got the phatest cover and its made out of metal witch is real good if your thinking about getting the sony des51 dont cause the screen goes out and it never turns on i had one belive me and thats why i got this one and it made in japan so thats real good you always want that in a cd player so make the right choice
