Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DEJ011 CD Walkman? Portable CD Player
Customer Review: A no-frills portable cd player
Summary: 4 Stars
Stick the CD in and it plays. I would have preferred the window for checking tracks to have been illuminated. It comes without a 4.5 volt plug-in power block, but it has an outlet for one. I've used it for about a month and it seems to be a fine value.Customer Review: piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm very disappointed in this. There are very few portable cd players on the market and I thought the Sony would be a good product. I'm old enough to have owned more than one Walkman and so I know they used to build durable electronics. I guess that's no longer the case. I bought this in late June 2008. As of December 2008, it will no longer play. It has never played well-skipping at times on cds that don't skip on my other players.
I'm very disappointed and from now on will only buy cheapo cd players. At least then, I haven't spent 40 bucks on something that lasts 6 months.
Customer Review: Stands the test of time

This is our second Sony player. It is hooked into our phone system and pays 24/7. Little to no maintenance. The previous one lasted 6 years. Are hopes are the same for this new purchaseCustomer Review: Sony DEJ011 CD Walkman

It does the job well for my purposes. I use it mainly when I walk, and haven't noticed any problems with music playback. I like it.Customer Review: Sony Quality Control Failures

The motor on this thing burned out at 120 days. As it is out of its 90 day warranty (all but useless anyway), I now have a $30 piece of junk. This player has been treated with TLC, no drops, no bangs, no thumps, no mistreatment of any kind.
If you purchase this player, please listen to your motor. If it is giving off audible noises (it should be almost dead silent) so that you need to have the player further away from you just so the noise doesn't degrade the music, you are hearing the motor burn out. If you are within the warranty period, I suggest you return it immediately. Don't wait for the end.
On start up, if the unit does any searching at all to find the first track, or gives you a "no disk" message, you are looking at a failing player. It should just kick to the first track and play.
The earphones are pretty useless for me. They are "in ear" and if they don't fit, you'll quickly be looking for a new set. That's a questionable investment given the low manufacturing quality of the player.
The track programming is very limited. It works only in numeric sequence, i. e. track 1, 2, 3, etc. You cannot program say, tracks 3, 1, 2. Also the programming act itself is clumsy and difficult to get right.
The player just feels flimsy and cheap. I don't have any better suggestions, but this thing is not a first choice. Unfortunately cd players seem to be dieing off under the mp3 deluge.
