Sony S2 Sports CD Walkman: Durable, Affordable, and Functional

Date of Review:  May 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: Looking for the perfect company on your run or bike ride? Look no further than the Sony S2 Sports CD Walkman D-FS601.
Review: I was gifted my first portable CD player in early 1996 (along with the Foo Fighters self-titled debut). The featureless Sony Discman was fine enough, and up until about 1998 I used it with no issues of course then the cover broke off.

So...

A Great CD Walkman for Runners

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: A great walkman for any workout activity, especially running. Excellent skip protection, great ergonomics. You will not be disappointed with the sound. Highly recommended.
Review: I bought this product to use for running in all weather conditions & for my morning commute on the train. I have had the product since 8/16/02.

So far it functions flawlessly. The batteries last about 40 hours. It comes with a hand strap...

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: The distortion when playing some CD's is unacceptable.
Review: The other reviews are correct on the Sony D-FS601 .... At first glance, the Sony D-FS601 portable CD player is that awesome Volvo 240-like durability that is a marquee of Sony "Sports" equipment. Awesome.

However, one issue effects CD...

Solid CD player for the gym

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a CD player that you can take to the gym without it breaking, this would be an excellent choice.
Review: To start off, let me say that the picture epinions currently has up is the incorrect picture. For the D-FS601, for a look at what the real thing looks like, go to any of the stores that are listed in the compare prices.

That said, this CD...

Just What I Was Looking For

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: Buy this one over any I have seen in the $100-160 range. Don't waste your money on cheap junk. This is an entertainment treat and I am worth it!
Review: This was above what I initially wanted to spend. However, the AM/FM/W/TV tuner and the high quality weather-tight construction won me over. Last week I returned a cheap 49.00 player that had micro printed buttons I could not read and was difficult...

Durable and Loaded with features

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for something sturdy and with lots of features and will (hopefully) last a long time, get this ASAP.
Review: After the D-FJ401 CD/Radio Walkman I owned was retired out of wear and tear, I decided that the D-FS601 (the sports model of the D-FJ401) would be the perfect successor. After two weeks of having this player and a large amount of traveling with it,...

::My New Best Friend::

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy this one! It's the best deal for the best price and it's a perfect sports CD player. Just buy better headphones for at-home listening and voila!
Review: First of all, I should mention that the Epinions picture is incorrect. The D-FS601 actually looks like http://www.irti.net/ entertain_products.html/dfs601.jpg/.

This CD player is the best I've ever bought, and it's my new best friend.

SONY D-FS601

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this CD player because of it's small size, quality construction, good sound quality, and it's extra functions.
Review: Overall I feel that this is a very good deal for the price I paid. I really enjoy the radio option combined into the CD player. This would be an excellent choice for anyone who is looking for a compact, versatile personal audio device. The small...
