I bought this player for my husband as a gift. Within a week of light use, the volume control stopped working. No problem, I thought, I'll just get another one. The same thing happened with the replacement. Being a geek, I checked it out thoroughly myself before dejectedly returning the second player.

Great concept, poor execution.

This CD player is probably one of the best I have purchased or maybe ever will. The design is Flawless and the sound quality is excellent. I dunno wut some of you people are sayin about it being cheesy or cheap looking because it certainly is not. The last thing that would come to my mind is that the design is boring and I dont know what the last reviewer wanted the bottom of the CD player to be like, I mean cmon?! Though the Sony D-NE710 isnt as slim as some of its competitors such as the Iriver IMP350 which I own also, it still is reasonably compact and I would prefer it over the Imp350. The only tiny problem I would mention is that it does not have a backlit display which would have been very convienient. All in all I would have to say that it would be dumb not to buy this. At [this price] bucks its def. worth it.

My Sony Walkman was purchased for $99.99 in 7/03 and its disk spin motor has stopped, so CDs will not play. It was also noisy (clicks, ticks) while it played. I have owned other Sony products and have had no problems with them. This is the first time that I am quite disappointed with a Sony product for only 1.5 years of use. I called Sony Service Center and was told it could be replaced with a "refurbished" one at a cost of $78.97, recommending that it might be wiser to just buy a new one. I have no intention of doing either. I will inform my friends, including investors, of this experience, and cease purchasing Sony products and encourage them to do likewise.

The only problem is that the player will start reading the disc as soon as you close the player which isn't really a problem but it can be annoying if your only changing cds.
