Digital output, nothing else.

-Terrible Sound Quality -Very flimsy Build Quality -In-Line Remote is a Joke (It worsens already poor sound)

Atrocious bass, terrible overall sound. A very small player housing electronics that are an embarassment to what Sony was producing five years ago. This player produces very muddy bass and jagged sounding treble. Perhaps its only real use would be as a digital source for other Sony recording devices(MD), because it does have a digital out.

I bought this product on the strength of my old five-year-old Sony Discman and Sony’s general reputation. However, this product does not deliver on its primary promise: to produce good sound. Even with the sound limiter set to normal, I could still hear the traffic on a not-too-heavy high road. The quality of the headphones is poor, with distortion occurring on most CDs at full volume. The quality of the sound can only be improved by using larger headphones, as opposed to the in-ear ones supplied. However, with the player’s limited power output, a richer sound is achieved at the expense of volume, which is already so low. All in all, a poor product.
