Customer Reviews

Great item for the price
I wanted the reliability and quality of a Sony, and a CD player AND radio in one unit was very important to me, but I did not want to pay a lot as not too long ago I had purchased a Panasonic CD player/radio, and the CD player conked out on me pretty rapidly. This Walkman is durable (I have dropped it a few times, and the CD didn't even skip when dropped, and the unit still works wonderfully!). It is also relatively simple to operate. However, I do not like the buttons or display window much. The buttons are hard to press one-handed, and the display is hard to read most of the time. The buttons and display are located on the edge/circumference of the Walkman rather than on the nice, broad top, making it difficult to access them. NEVERTHELESS, if you want a quality Sony product at a good price and you aren't terribly bothered by button or display ergonomics (I am not), this is a Walkman for you. Great value for the money!

If it didn't say Sony on the front...
I definitely wouldn't know Sony made this. It's crap. I put it down on a table, it shuts it's self off, it refuses to play some regular (store bought) CDs (no scratches). It eats batteries. It's very, very loud when it does decide to play a CD. I am very disappointed. I was better off keep my 3 year old Pannasonic, it has better rumble control and plays all my CDs.

Very poor
I expected a Sony product to be good in quality considering the two previous player's I've had, but I was very disappointed.

First off, the shell itself is flimsy. When I bought the product I thought it must have been cheap, but I decided to give Sony the benefit of the doubt and stick by my purchase.

Second: It sucks batteries dry in no time. The cd player I owned prior to this one was left playing for a day or two straight (accidentally of course) and it still took about a week and a half before battery power began to drop. Keep in mind that this player was also a '97 model that I picked up in '03 from JandR.

With the D-FJ003 I have to change batteries within the week and I usually have it playing 1 hour total per day.

Third: The slightest bump turns it off though it's supposed to have G-Protection. Not to mention that it takes a long time for the player to do anything when you want it to. Turn on the radio and you wait a few seconds. Try to play a CD and you could wait about 20 seconds.

Fourth (though it's really minor, but still annoying): the button placement on the player is very inconvenient. I would like to not have my tracks change when I'm just walking or have the radio get switched on.

All in all, this was a very poor purchase. It's unfortunate because I had gone into the Best Buy around my area to buy a quality product and this was all they had. I can't get a refund and I have to make do with what I have. Pretty much, my next purchase will be an mp3 player as it looks to be more economical in the long run.
