Sony D-FS601 S2 Sports CD Walkman Portable Disc Player Review

I have owned lots of Sony portable CD players in my time, and this has to be one of the best. This CD player has both TV and weather bands, although both have limited channels and limited range.But, the FM and AM reception is one of the best in its league, far excelling Panasonic CD players with the same capabilities.Additionally, the CD player is well-designed for the hand and for the back-pack.The "play" feature using the thumb is quite a good feature, for runners and back-packers. Also, the G-Protection for this CD player is adjustable; there are two levels of G-Protection available. The sound quality is not very great on G-Protection on Level 2, but it's good. The water resistance of this CD player as well as the latch is perfect.Although the latch LOOKS plastic, the latch is actually very sturdy. I had to get a new CD player because it was broken and not functioning properly, and the previous Sony CD player kept popping out my CDs during my exercise outside. The latch is well-done for this CD player. There are only two major faults with this player: 1) the addition of a water-resistant remote; and 2) the CD player could possibly be slimmer and lighter.
I have used this CD player for my trips and vacations.I have been astounded by its durability and design (although the price is a bit too much).A must-buy? It truly depends on what your lifestyle dictates.
