This CD player is an affordable one with "a little bit of everything". It is built with side snaps providing more support plus making waterproof, allowing it to be played in all-weather conditions.

The Antishock, although not a hundred bagillion second likes the ones these days, works... Read full review »

Pros Good Deal for the money

Cons kinda larger than it needs to be

Recommended it? Yes

I don?t listen to the radio, I pretty much have a CD player where ever I am in my house, a 5 disk changer in My Room and the Living Room, a Single Disk Boom Box in the Bathroom, One on my computer and one in my car. I have about 100-150 of my CDs in those portable cases and I carry them with me... Read full review »

Pros Everything. Nearly indestructible in this era of planned obsolescence.

Cons That there is nothing comparable on the market today.

Recommended it? Yes

I don't know that anyone will ever read this in so far as I know this CD player isn't available new anymore. Just wanted to make note of some comments on it. Of all the personal CD players I have ever owned, of which there have been at least a couple dozen, this is the only one that has never... Read full review »

Best Cd player I have bought!

bybruiser8 Dec 8, 1999

Pros Doesn't skip, long lasting batteries, colorful

Cons Heavy, no belt buckle

Recommended it? Yes

This cd player is not only very stylish with the bright yellow color and the unique way of opening it (popping sides not pressing eject) but gives a very good sound as well. I only paid $70 for this $130 player and I think you will find reasonable prices for it as well. I run almost every night and... Read full review »

Pros Rugged, weatherproof, great sound

Cons Size, battery life, can't play CD-R with anti-shock on.

Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this player about two years ago as an open-box item at Circuit City for $79. It was highly rated in the "Outdoor Buyers Guide" that year. Since it was going for twice as much at the time, I considered it a good buy.

Well, I did not use it much at first. Then I started... Read full review »

Pros looks, sound, clarity, snaps on side for water proofing

Cons sometimes snaps get in the way when the cd player is on u're lap

Recommended it? Yes

I bought this product because my friends dad was VP of some division of Panasonic so they had only Panasonic stuff and he always said how good the cd player was. I needed one so I got that one.

I have used this product for long time periods while walking and with the antishock on, the... Read full review »

Pros Great Look, Great Sound, Doesn't skip(much)

Cons ESP sucks batteries pretty quickly

Recommended it? Yes

This CD player is the best Portable Audio machine (Excluding Aiwa's Mini-Disc) for the price that I have found. It has multiple features and a great look. After looking at many others I picked this one because the features are outstanding.

It has a Bass Boost that allows you to select from... Read full review »

Unbeatable sound

Pros Best sound, good price, long battery life

Cons Bulkier than some models

Recommended it? Yes

Working in an electronics store, I got to try everything. I was surprised to learn one thing all CD players have in common: quality of sound. Some have a bass boost (this one does) and some don't. But what really makes the difference is the headphones.

Panasonic's Shockwave headphones have... Read full review »

Pros Better sounding than any Sony

Cons None

Recommended it? Yes

This CD player, and others in the same line related to it, sounds better than most portable machines. Headroom claims this, and prompted by its recommendation I went to have a listen.

It only takes 20 seconds to hear that these machines have a significantly better sound quality than... Read full review »

Big, clunky, but durable

bypriggy Sep 10, 1999

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls

Pros Durable, virtually shock-proof

Cons Big and Heavy

Recommended it? No

The only phrase I can think of to describe the Panasonic Shockwave is "Like a rock." It's durable, virtually shock-proof, but is the size and weight of a rock. It is not the CD player to keep in your pocket while walking. If you need the best shock protection for things like jogging, I reccommend... Read full review »
