This replaces a Panasonic SL-PH270 that served me well for six years but is becoming increasingly erratic (my dropping it on cement didn't help) and is no longer manufactured. Suffice it to say that I'd gladly spend 2-3 times as much for another Panasonic personal player with onboard speakers than have to settle on a JWin. But unlike the other JWin I tried out (along with a GPX and Colby), this one plays even when it's moved and turned upside down. 4 stars is admittedly overly generous, but given the skip-and-stick action of other cheap models and the lack of competing product (an "ordinary" CD player with speakers in the cover), I'm determined to make myself like it.
The pluses (from my perspective): 1. "Dedicated" CD player (no MP3's, compression ratio options, and other annoying complications). 2. It pops open and boots up your CD in a jiffy. 3. The onboard speakers allow for quick and efficient searching of the content of CDs and testing of their playability. 4. It's just loud enough for the user to hear it. 5. The 60-second memory makes the anti-shock system effective.
The minuses: 1. The audacity or absurdity of the manufacturer to market this as a "stereo player" (the speakers are less than an inch apart!) and the marginal loudness of the speakers (the Panasonic's onboard speakers, though on a smaller surface, put out twice the volume). 2. The quickly tossed-in AM-FM radio (FM reception is totally absent without plugging in the headphones to serve as an antenna, though the tuning dial is too stiff to bother with even if the radio had decent reception). 3. Tiny, dark display (keep a penlight handy). 4. Teeny tiny buttons (pimples) for operating stop, go, pause, skip (the Panasonic's were twice the size despite the smaller size of the player). 5. The inclusion in the battery compartment of a little folded-up piece of paper with instructions telling the user to hang on to and employ an included, loose, tiny metal cap when using rechargeable batteries.
As for the headphones, I simply tossed them--have too many from previous players as it is. It does have one feature lacking on the Panasonic: a prominent yellow&black sticker on the back of the player helpfully advising the user to charge only rechargeable batteries, followed by the fragment--"May cause explosion." Sounds exciting--just don't misplace that tiny metal cap. |
