I just bought this yesterday and took it out for a spin - it never skipped once and made my car sound like Carnegie Hall. I drove over some pretty formidable New York City pot holes and it still held its own. It's nice and small too, so it fits perfectly in the spot I previously stored my sunglasses. The remote control is very cool too - a must for the car. This is a great non-car companion as well - the headphones are pretty good and the extra bass option sounds great (even in the car). In my opinion, this is a solid portable cd player with just the right features at a very reasonable price. Many thanks to the other Amazon reviewers who steered me away from other cd players I was considering. I'm very happy, so far, with this one.

I recently bought this product after reading the reviews of others. I have never owned anything by Panasonic and was somewhat skeptical about the reviews. But after having it for over a week I can honestly say all the 5-star ratings are accurate. True to its claim, the CD player has not skipped a single time. And I have put it through the test! With the car adapter, I plugged it in to my vehicle and have driven over the potholes, metal plates, and uneven streets of the District of Columbia without a hitch. After a while you even forget that it's not an integral part of your vehicle; the same is true for trail hiking, walking, etc. I have even tossed it around a bit with no noticeable lapses. The headphones are very good and more than what you would expect from a manufacturer. One area of criticism would be that the headphone jack doesn't sit too tightly in the receiver, so what may seem like a skip is actually the wire coming out of the plug. Other than that, I think it's a great product with very good sound that is well worth the price.

I did my homework on personal cd players and I'm really glad I did. I could NOT be more pleased with the Panasonic SX282. I use it when I'm exercising and I've never had it skip even once. I sort of dismissed the fact that it came with a remote, as I didn't think I'd ever use it. But now I don't know how I'd do without it!. I put the player itself into a Case Logic camera case (which is the PERFECT size for the cd player and a couple of cds as well as some extra batteries) and it hooks around my waist. The velcro remote just pulls right off the camera-case and ZAP! I'm able to control volume, repeat songs, skip songs, whatever. Very handy when you're at the gym. And of course it comes with the car kit which is pretty handy as well. The headphones are surprisingly well-built too and stay put even when you're on the move.
All in all, I am very, very satisfied with the SX282. So if you're being a "good consumer" then you'll read some reviews on different models. My recommendation is that you make this cd player your final stop.

This is an excellent buy. Panasonic has been around for many, many, years and this cd player is great! It has the new NO SKIP feature which makes it nice to jog with or go bike riding! You can't turn on and off the skip protection because it is on all the time, so you don't forget to turn it on. And it has a wireless remote,(which comes in handy).This is a great cd player! I recommend this cd player to everyone!

This cd player is a super buy. It has everything you want from a cd player. It is also backed up with the Panasonic name so you know that you are buying a very good product. The cd player plays cd-r/cd-rw's without a problem. The sound is super on this cd player. It really gives you a kick between the ears if your in the mood. Everything you need is right on top of the cd player. The remote control is a good thing to have but not that important. The only thing I found to be bad about the cd player is that it does not come with a AC adapter for your house. But otherwise this cd player is a excellent buy.
