This is a really good size in terms of portability, but the frankly, the battery sucks. Even if rechargeable, it dies out too quickly. Even though it is nice and portable, it also skips alot, at least from my experience. I gave it a 3 because of the portability, the CD Player Dream, if you will. I would get the SL-SX430 if you don't mind to give up a little portability. The SL-SX430 has an insane battery life but is a little bit bare bones but comes with a remote, which is always a plus.

I had the same problem as another reviewer on this forum. The rechargeable battery died. I had barely used it. If you forget to unplug the CD from the power cord after recharging is complete you will fry the battery. I've never seen this behavior on any other rechargeable device. This is a serious design flaw by Panasonic. It's a shame that such a serious problem undermines what would otherwise be a great product.

Yeah, it's a good player. But it could be even better if designers put a "pause" button on the remote control.

This was bought as a gift and I absolutely love it! The Directions are easy to follow and it's perfect for those people that love to workout. Highly recommended!~
