There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had a very specific task for this item when I purchased it. My wife and I collect CDs. We buy some new here from Amazon, but 90% of them we buy second hand from Amazon Marketplace, yard sales and flea markets. We do not currently have a home audio setup. We mostly use our iPods right now. Sometimes on a weekend we may buy as many as 50 CDs and sometimes it takes me awhile to get them all ripped to my laptop. Lots of times I want to try out a CD in questionable condition, or just want to play it and haven't ripped it yet. This is where I will mostly use the D-EJ011. I also just wanted to have another PCDP just for fun and who knows when they are going to quit making these things, most have already disappeared. I had a tough time finding a new one that wasn't total junk for a reasonable price.
Which brings me to the $29.99 price. When compared to my iPod touch... well.. Hey look, we are talking about a $300 product against a $30 product and I don't think that's a fair comparision. Is the touch 10x better for 10x the price? Yes. Probably 100x better, but for me this PCDP had a very specific purpose and it wasn't to be my main portable music player. I've read a lot of reviews on this player before I bought it and I despite all the negative comments, I took a chance on it and I'm glad I did.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT - I've read a lot of comments on the battery compartment. I think that has been blown way out of proportion. I have large, fat, Diabetic fingers. I also have an ounce of common sense. I found it very easy to open the door and insert the batteries. I also found it equally easy to open the door, then with the tip of an ink pen, pop the old batteries out when time for a change. Don't anyone take this personal, but I have a feeling that someone who can't exchange batteries in this player probably has found life to be very hard in general. Seriously, I don't get it. If anything I applaud where the batteries are because it beats the heck out of having them fall out of the bottom.
THE CONTROL BUTTONS - Again, I don't get all the negativity. The buttons are layed out in a very logical manner and are very easy to remember their positions if you just try. To the left of the display you have the slide switch that opens the top hatch. You can't mistake that button for any other. A donkey couldn't. Next in line is the volume up and down buttons. The volume up having a "feel dot" that even I can feel with Diabetic fingers. Next you have a mode button that a lot of people will never even need to use, and finally the bass boost button which is the easy to find right next to the headphone jack. I have no problem finding these buttons in a dark closet after spending 10 minutes with the player. To the right of the display you have "stop" then "play/pause" and finally the 2 directional buttons for skipping tracks front or back or FF & REW. I'll be honest, I'm not bright, but I had no problems remembering what these buttons were in a dark room after spending 10 minutes with the player familiarizing myself with them. If you can feel the headphone plug, and the display "glass", you should have no problem operating this thing blind folded. I think a mountain has been made of a mole hill on this button color situation. Just my opinion.
THE LCD DISPLAY - It's pretty small and you have to hold the player like you're eating a hamburger to read it, but make no mistake, even with Diabetic eyes I could read it even in a dimly lit room. You do have to hold it at the right angle and there does have to be atleast a little bit of light because it's not backlit. For $30 I don't expect it to be. It works well for me.
HEADPHONES - I never took mine out of the package so I can't comment on them other than I wouldn't be optimistic having had many pairs of entry level sony buds over the years that come with other Sony players. Do yourself a big favor.. If music is important to you, right here on Amazon.com you can purchase brand new Koss KSC-75's for around $15. They are known as being the gateway to audiophile sound and you are going to have to spend atleast $80 to top them, if not $100. They match with this player very well sonically speaking and heck, even the color matches. If you do not like clip-on phones I would suggest Sennheiser's PX-100s. I use them both with this player. One last word on the KSC-75s.. They will not sound their very best until they get upwards of 100 hors on them or atleast the 3 pairs I have haven't and many others have also found this to be true. They are awesome and you'll never believe the sound cost you only $15. You will need to adjust the clips to fit your ears in a way that the entire pad it centered and flush against your ear for best sound. Be advised, by design they will "leak" some sound that could annoy others near you.
DURABILITY - Having the player only 3 days it's hard to say. It seems rather fragile and I'm kinda overprotective of mine. I only use mine sitting still so if I never drop it, hopefully it will last. I will likely purchase a second on of these just to have as a backup incase PCDP become completely obsolete and they ain't far from it now.
BATTERY LIFE - I was more bored than usual the other day so I thought I would do a little test someone might find useful. I put in a new pair of Rayovak alkalines (black/blue/silver/w/ white logo) found at Wal-Mart and other stores. They are on par with Energizers and Duracells for less money. I had the "G-Protection" set to "G-Off" the entire time as this will give you the best sound as per the instructions and the fact I was just sitting with it. I mention this because supposedly it also knocks the battery life down from 16 hours to 11. I wanted to play a bunch of CDs straight through and see when the batteries died. I did this over the course of 2 days. Here was my results:
RUSH - 2112.......................................38:50
PINK FLOYD - WISH YOU WERE HERE...................44:24
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE - ERA VULGARIS............47:24
THE BEATLES - REVOLVER............................34:39
THE WHO - LIVE AT LEEDS...........................77:00
BLIND MELON - SELF TITLED.........................49:14
GRATEFUL DEAD - AMERICAN BEAUTY....................42:21
NIRVANA - NEVERMIND............. ..................42:32
ZZ TOP - TRES HOMBRES..............................44:57
KISS - LOVE GUN....................................32:52
THE CLASH - LONDON CALLING.........................64:59
AUDIOSLAVE - SELF TITLED...........................65:28
RADIOHEAD - THE BENDS..............................48:44
AC/DC - HIGH VOLTAGE...............................44:22
LED ZEPPELIN III.................................. 43:04
That came to almost exactly 12 hours. It was bogging down a little on Led zeppelin III so that 11 hour estimate was pretty darn accurate considering AA brands will vary! I bought 60 of those batteries at Home depot on sale for only $9 so this was cheap entertainment. You could use rechargeables and you could also go the lithium AA route. Also you could buy the optional AC adaptor but who wants to be tied to that thing? I was happy with the battery life because for my needs I'm not going to be changing batteries very often. Playing 15 full CDs on the high quality setting ain't bad I guess. Batteries in bulk are your friend. I had the mega bass set on "SND 1" most of the time. I assume that may have some affect on battery life?
SOUND QUALITY - SQ is a really hard thing to judge and put into words for me because everyone hears and processes sound differently and depending on what equipment they are use to, they could judge this player sounding anywhere from crappy to awesome! The SQ did not blow me away but it was at or very slightly above what I expected it to be for $30. It wasn't even in the ballpark of the sound produced by my iPod touch with the same headphones and rips with dbPowerAMP LAME mp3 encoder set at -V0 (extreme high quality). I mean, not even close. At the same time it wasn't unlistenable and I don't mean to imply it was. I found it was extremely picky about the CD. Some Cds sounded short of fabulous, and a couple sounded near unbearable. This was a lot to do with modern CDs being overcompressed and also the fact that you can't very well adjust the sound with this player. In most cases I found the megabass control to be unlistenable on the "off" setting, close as I could get on "SND 1" and with many CDs waaaaaaaaaaay too much bass on "SND 2" setting. Though a couple of CDs sounded great on SND 2. I only tryed playing a Cd with G protection on for a few minutes. I did not find it to be the night anf day sound quality difference I had read about, but for placebo reasons, I find I want it turned off despite shorter battery life. I will say my player never skipped or hiccuped once in all 15 full length CDs played with skip protection off. If I moved around more, I'm sure it would.
OVERALL - I am very happy with it. Depending on your needs you may be too. The low price is great. Amazon.com is as good as online shopping gets. I would have liked to had the display on top and a little bigger. I would have liked to had a little better SQ if it was my main player, but fine for my needs. The fact that it knows where you leftoff when you last stopped it or turned it off is a great feature. It has more functions than I would ever need actually as far as shuffle, bookmarks, and a couple of other things. My gripes are minor ones here and I think the product is waaaaaaaaay better than the reputation it has gotten from previous reviews. It's a very enjoyable player to listen to depending on the CD and a pleasure to operate.
I have not tested it with CD-R's yet. If that ends up being a problem I will update my review. Hopefully I can report back on the durability as well.
Hope this helps someone!
The sound quality is second to none and the skip protection is superb. It takes a lot of knocking to make it skip. I am using a pair of Sony noise cancelling headphones as I got nothing but the player with my order.
I would like to comment on all the complaints about the battery replacement comments I see with respect to this player. I don't think the battery replacement is any big deal. The battery box is under the cover and you have to remove the disc to replace the batteries. No big deal in my experience.
The Sony DEJ011 CD Walkman seems to be made for people like me. It keeps your place very nicely, even when you have to change the battery. One review said the volume is a bit low, but I found it was better than any of the other portable CD players I had tried. It is possible that that user might be happy with a better pair of earphones. The Sony DEJ011 CD Walkman even keeps your place while you change the batteries.
I admit changing the battery is a bit challenging, since the battery compartment is inside and under where the CD sits. But I can definitely put up with that for the joy of being able to listen to vastly more audio books than possible before.
19 months later: well, after daily use, it finally gave out. In the old days, you could get something like this fixed, but I guess I'll just order another one. It had so many good features I'll stick with this model.
Still another update: okay, it is now six months after my second purchase of this unit, and my second Sony DEJ011 has failed. It suddenly gave the reading "nO DISK" even when there was a disk in the player. I still like the ease of navigation; I know some people are interested in sound quality, but I just want to listen to an audiobook without having to struggle with finding my place every time I pause it. But shouldn't this machine last longer than six months? If my third Sony DEJ011 fails too soon, I guess I'll comb through reviews to find a machine that is more durable but also is friendly to people like me who listen to books on disc. That is what is important to me.
NOW A FINAL UPDATE: I purchased another iteration of this machine from a seller called Blizzdeal, and it failed after 35 days. I had accidentally clicked this seller, who charged me $199.00. BUT: I wrote to them and they are sending me another one, so I am happy with Blizzdeal.

I was amazed that it actually doesn't skip when you are motion just as the company claims !
You do need to keep batteries handy if you use it alot in case it runs out however but a small downfall for a big gain.
I don't have time to figure out MP3 players etc. so I love this old school disc on the run device.
Good clear sound also.
I have been already using it for about 24 hours of play time with no issues yet.
I would not even bother with cheaper products to be honest.
The equipment I purchased would be excellent IF IT WORKED. After plugging it in to the MP3 jack and with batteries it is absolutely dead. I would appreciate it if somebody will advise me on either obtaining a credit or a replacement for a CD player that works
