After much research on the internet, I have found the perfect CD player for running. This CD player absolutely does not skip, and the hand strap makes it very easy to hold securely while I am running. It is also waterproof, so that when I sweat from running, it does no damage. I have even ran in the rain with no problem. The only drawback is that Sony apparently does not make this product anymore, so I bought a refurbished one from Amazon.com. It has far exceeded my expectations.

This is definitely the best cd player I bought. I had a Bose PM-1 and a Bose TRI level cd player and they skipped " a lot"! Notwithstanding, the battery life was worth 2-3 days of playing about an hour each day. This Sony cd player has 3 solid bar indicators and I have yet to see it any less. Even though, I've used it full blast with full bass for 3-4 days before I changed the rechargeable batteries. I run with this player and it has "NEVER" skipped! That's one of the biggest plus of this player. The sound is very good and it has a 3 level bass boost button. The buttons are located on the player so that it is almost impossible to turn it off or go to another track by accident. The only draw back is the amber yellow window for display functions. It can be hard to view with direct sunlight or at night. But apart from that. This is the one you should get if you want performance and less wastage on spending money on batteries.

the guy jeff buckner from icon electronics played nothing but games he sent me a defected product he knew it was it was open and dirty, he kept calling and harrasing me saying dont call sony i will just send u another one i told him i wwanted a reciet since he sent me the product with no reciet beacuse i have called sony and they said they would send me another one, i made contact with jeff buckner from icon eletronice he was rude would not send me the reciet playing games then he sent me it threw email and i told him i wanted it threw the mail.im not happy with this at all i need my reciet so i can send it back to sony so i cant get a new on.This would of been a good product if i got to use it all though this is a very nice product i dont recomend buying this from them

I've owned this player for at least four years. And, although I haven't used it for awhile --perhaps six months-- I didn't leave it plugged in and I don't use batteries. So when I plugged in in today, I fully expected it to run. It hadn't been dropped, drenched or otherwise abused, it had just been left hanging on the rail of my treadmill. And the thing won't work. It'll indicate a track for a disc, but then shut down. No sound, no anything. I was going to listen to some jazz while on the treadmill, but now I have to get a new cd player. Bummer.

I bought this CD player about 4 years ago or more. Got to college, gave it to my girlfriend who dumped me after one semester. Really regret it. I bought the newer version and I hate it. I'm buying the older version again. I had the one with the radio built in though, works excellent. I cannot make this CD player skip at all, I've tried. Very heavy duty, relatively water proof. Not concerned about jogging in the rain with it. It has a joystick where I would assume it is more vulnerable but no problems with mine. I'm a 21 year old college student who's buying it again. Even if you don't use the cd player it is a pretty cheap radio with pretty good reception that is comfortable to run or walk around with.
