I've only ever had Sony Discman/CD Walkman portable CD players. My first one was the same one that you have there and I really loved it. In college, I bought the Sony D-EJ611 CD Walkman (which I still have) and used it in my car. That little player was great because it featured a dedicated line-out jack on it, massive anti-skip memory, and the ability to charge Ni-Cd or NiMH batteries. In the car, it was always connected to a cigarette lighter voltage supply, so the batteries were always charged when I needed them. Nowadays, my cars have CD players in them, and I have a wonderful Blu-ray player on my home theater for listening to CDs - so this little portable unit doesn't get used as much. However, when I do use it, it sounds really good and I enjoy it. I even used it once to copy a CD that had some stupid copy protection encoded on it. The CD would not play in the computer, so I had to make an analog copy of the disc using my CD Walkman and Audacity on the computer. :)
My only portable CD player (bought new in 1997) is a Panasonic Car/Portable SL-S321C, with base boost, anti-shock. It came with a cassette adapter. I used it for years until I got a car with a CD player. It still works fine, but I rarely use it.
I had the yellow and black Panasonic Shockwave when I was a kid. I got it by saving up my dad's Marlboro Miles. It was awesome. People always thought it was waterproof but it wasn't. I had it from like 6th grade up to my first year of college.
I have 2 Sony Discmans. One's a D-141, same model as the D-131, but with the windows where you see the disc spinning, and the D-33, the one that is LOUD! Lol. The third one is the Klim Nomad, where it got the ASP feature, but there is no way to turn it off as it is permanent.
My favorite (and only) portable CD player was a Denon. It had a full size IR remote control and, like your first two examples, had separate line out jacks. It seems like they dropped line out jacks in the newer models. Line out jacks provide a cleaner signal for use when connected to a home system, but I guess that feature wasn't necessary as these things became cheaper and people owned more CD players... Anyway, nice video, I did a similar video with 12 portable cassette players about 2 years ago, and a Sony was #1 in my ranking too!
I still own a cpl of those models myself and although I have an lg v40 which is one of the best sounding phones on the market I still like listening to one of these to go back to a simpler time.
Nice collection of portable CD players I have a few different ones myself I am going to get the Studebaker one in about a week or so I have two Panasonic CD players a discman Sony in total I think I have about four or five different types of portable CD players
I still buy new CD's here and there or used ones at my local thrift stores and I kept my substantial CD collection purchased over a 30-year period, so now and then I enjoy playing discs on the few Sony CD Walkman units I have even though I mostly use CD player decks when playing CD's instead of records. I certainly enjoyed the portability of my Sony CD Walkman and the line-out feature was useful to connect it to some powered speakers or to a stereo system. :)
I have quite a few portable cd players. The unit i use the most is a RCA RP 7901a. But i really like my RCA RP 7902 as well. The rareat one i have is a Panasonic SL S 450 which has a remote control with a digital read out. 8 times over sampling with MASH dac and it has a mini TOSLINK out! But i have many others as well.
Yeah, CD's are great ! I have well over 400 of then and am buying more off of ebay,Amazon and discogs all the time. Also listen to records and cassette rapes too. As well as digital music. Hell I even have about 20 or so 8 track tapes that I listen to every so often. Physical media rocks IMHO ! Great video big guy ! Hope you do one on 8 tracks soon. 🖐🙂👍
Good video, but the title is definitely clickbait, lol. These players are no where near the 10 best, it is just the players you own! You did a good job of pointing out the cons of skip protection and having a built in battery, so props for that. I recently purchased a mid-range vintage Sony Discman in great shape. No extra features but a great DAC and it sounds very nice. I looked on hi-if forums for the best reviewed units, and picked one I could afford, It was under $50 on eBay.
In Best Buy, they have a new portable CD player, which has a marvelous sound if you put on the “rock” frequency. But the problem is the CD player holder that I have, the Velcro is wearing down.
Rechargeable batteries may seem like a good idea but the concern is being able to replace them when the battery goes back since they don't offer a way to replace it without disassembling the device. Also another concern is most of these devices, especially ones from no-name manufacturers, are known to include lower capacity Li-ion batteries that offer inferior battery life compared to a similar product using AA batteries. In fact, my Xbox One controller using Panasonic eneloop pro (and Japanese AmazonBasics) AA batteries last longer than the DualShock 4 (PS4)'s Li-ion battery. The only saving grace with built-in Li-ion batteries is you can recharge them anytime and you don't have open the cover to replace batteries like with AA/AAA Ni-Mh or Ni-Cd batteries.
Honestly after watching this a bit further I'm starting to think spectra made the durabrand models for walmart too bc I own a durabrand with the 60 second esp and radio like your green Studebaker and the bottoms are almost identical.
Years ago I sold off a Panasonic player and a case that held any portable CD + a dozen discs or so. These were cool little CD players ... way back. When fist came out I wouldn't spend for one. I stopped taking that along as I transitioned to music on early portable mp 3 players and on phone. Now use a high-ish end portable hi-res player with all the tracks that fit on about a TB of microSD storage on it. You should digitize your LPs to put on a smartphone or a portable player. I am behind in the amount I wanted to get done, but have around 50 CDs from LP ready to convert for portable and to some save - I have ripping more of my CDs to (Lossless) flac for the player meanwilke (this file does not see playable on many of the apps for phone). Great sound and I wish updgrades to everyone!
Get some Meguiars PlastX and polish that Kenwood. Just be careful on any silkscreened text. It will take it off. But it should help with the scratches on the clear window. PlastX also does a good job of polishing the bottom of scratched CDs to make them playable again.
Mine was a Panasonic portable cd rom that you can use with a pc to use cd roms with and it 4 ways to be powered 6 AA or 7.5 v rechargable gumstick battery or powered by pc card or with the 13v power adapter and now it doesn't read discs no more
My first portable CD player was a Panasonic, followed by a Pioneer. Later I had an Emerson, GPX, and Aiwa. I no longer have any portable CD players; mostly because I don't have a vehicle and I don't travel much. I also now have a partial but permanent disability which limits my walking capability, even with aids like a walker and rollator. So a portable CD player no longer makes much sense.
I was always partial to my old Panasonic. I listened to every one Circuit City had and it had the "best" sound (which probably meant the least muddy bass back then). I could also turn off the bass boost and anti-shock,, the latterof which almost doubled battery life.
Most older Panasonic products are built like tanks. Panasonic is usually a little more rough an tumble than a Sony. Sony’s are great but my Panasonic products last longer. I also miss Circuit City as well as Radio Shack and Lafayette Radio.
Sony has made some super-fine- sounding Walkman CD Players over the years -- especially the models with the built-in equalizers. My Sony Walkman D-NF430 is the one I've been swearing by for the past 15-20 years. It plays CDs, Atrac MP3s (whatever that is), and has an AM/FM Radio, TV setting, and even a Weather Radio feature. It also has features such as programing track order, anti-skip protection if you're going out jogging, ability to over-ride the safety volume limiter (thank Heaven), and the aforementioned built-in equalizer. It also comes fully equipped with a wired remote control which I use constantly. This beast requires only 1 AA battery and plays for hours on it. Truthfully, the only features I use are the CD player. When using my over-the-ears Sony Studio-Monitor Headphones, you would swear you're listening to a home stereo system. It's powerful, and the unit, together with the Sony headphones, pumps out the bass like you wouldn't believe! And it plays LOUD and clean without distortion -- just the way I like it. Over the years, I've had other Sony models which, in turn, inspired me to buy Sony's D-NF430. It wasn't but a few years later when they started cutting back on the manufacture of the Sony (and other brand) portable CD players. Afraid of being without one down the road, I bought a back-up Sony D-NF430 for $60 while the getting was good. Soon after buying it, the first one broke. No sooner had I started using the second one when I dropped it on our hard-wood floor and messed it up bad. (So much for the back-up!) I then bought my 3rd D-NF430 which was hard to find and not as readily available -- and which was now costing $80. Soon after, still in need of a back-up, I had a hell of a time finding one until I finally found ONE STORE -- in NYC -- which had only one new, factory-sealed D-NF430 in stock -- to the tune of $400. Shocked, but desperate for a back-up to last me through the years, I (gulp) bought it. I'm still using my 3rd D-NF430 which is a war-horse, while the $400 one is still in its original packaging. What we don't go through for our music!
Interesting thank you for sharing! ATRAC is a Sony created compression algorithm. Its lossy like MP3's and was used primarily in Minidiscs which primarily use ATRAC3.
@@Recordology Thanks for explaining ATRAC, Buddy. Other than commercial CDs, and downloads that I was forced to buy and burn to CD because the musical content wasn't released in physical CD format, that's as far as I strayed from the old and familiar LP format. The CD has the potential of being the best-sounding format available "IF" the music is remastered properly. The popularity of the lossy download and MP3 market was a big step backwards for me, which is another reason why I never bothered to check out the ATRAC feature.
I got very lucky and got a brand new Sony CD Walkman D-NF430 from a Value Village (a.k.a. Savers) thrift store in 2017 for only $6 or $7 Canadian and I still use it today for both CDs and radio.
Many thanks for your this informative video, just a couple of questions, I am thinking about buying a new portable CD player and had the Hott model which you reviewed two months prior to this video in mind, how come it was not included in your top ten here, did you experience any problems with it? and also I am avid classical music listener, for this genre which model (among the ones available today) would you recommend? Thank you so much
Good question! You are the first person to spot that. It was a mistake, I simply forgot about it until after I made the video LOL. I also love classical music and most of the units we have reviewed recently perform pretty well although sometimes there is a noticeable hiss with super cheap units… Even my old Sony has a little bit of hiss. But this doesn’t bother me.

Purchased yesterday, one of those HOTT CD611 wood-tone players off Amazon, and noticed even more hiss. Sending that back! Are there portables you can suggest that don't have hiss or have minimal hissing, or is that just a nature of the beast sort of thing with these? BTW, that HOTT player sounded almost as bad as an old Sony Walkman cassette player (without the Dolby) at times.
My old Sony d-131 has hiss which I assume is due to old caps. The new cheap ones sometimes do which I attribute to cheap headphone amps. Very good question
I have a few of the cheap cd players on Amazon but all of them already has issues,one of them the previous track doesnt work anymore meanwhile the other one the laser quit reading .So I managed to get hold of sony d-ej002 cd Walkman because it happened to be the one of the cheapest cd players on Merceai Japan.

I'm trying to find my Sony, but I can't remember where I put it. It has a CD still in it. I have so much stuff in 5 to 6 different closets in different places.
Nowadays the mayor audio brands like Sony etc. don't make any portable cd-players anymore, so you can only get players of questionable brands and with ugly designs. I prefer to use my vintage Philips cd-players, which have a good design and sound

Так это не его аппараты, иначе он знал бы, что в Кенвуде требуются 2 батареи, а то, что их 4 - это дополнительный плюс как для дополнительного запаса энергии!
Спасибо за комментарий. Я гарантирую вам, что это действительно мои решения.
@@Recordology, верю. Дополню, что у меня есть Кенвуд - он работает от 2 батареек, а еще две - это параллельные, запасные, для увеличения емкости, а не вольтажа.
Это интересно! Хорошая новость в том, что он может работать всего от двух батареек. Я никогда этого не знал!
@@Recordology, ну, хоть польза от моего бурчания. 😉 Пользуйтесь! И ставьте Кенвуд в позиции повыше 👍
I had a RCA really good,gone now.
