Summary: Great player
Review: I first purchased a cheap CD player for my daughter and found that the batteries had to be replaced just about every other day. I purchased this CD player on it battery usage alone. I had no idea how great this cd player really was. My daughter is 5 and uses this in the car during travel. Never a single problem and is easy enough for her to use.

Summary: Great Player
Review: I ordered mine back in August. I have used the player alot, and I feel that it is a great little player. It's antiskip is great, it's water resistant, so I don't ruin it if it start to rain while I'm outside with it, and it looks great. The performance of the unit overall is great.

Summary: Cool player..great sound
Review: I owned a panasonic before i went looking for a new one. My experience with it was quite good. my search for a new one came down to the panasonic SLX286J aiwa xp-sp290. a friend of mine already owned the slx286j and although i found the sound to be very good it wasnt that much of an improvement over the previous panasonic i owned, wich incidentally cost me half, so i decided to try the aiwa xp-sp290. i really wasnt interested in the car kits offered by quite a few other players or in having an AM/FM stereo. i was basically looking for a reasonably priced player that gives excellent sound and wich i can take with me on a jog, and the aiwa crosstrainer performs outstandingly on both counts. The sound is much better than wat i experienced with any player in the same price range and the dsl function really does add a thump to the beats.and it does not skip at all while im jogging too, thanx to the 48 second anti skip mecahnism . plus it looks absolutely cool as against the panasonic models wich look kinda plain, it plays all my CD-RWs wich is another advantage for all those having home-made CDs. I was kinda concerned about the battery life cuz i dint wanna spend a lot just on changin batteries, however the player dispelled this fear too . it gives about 28-30 hours ,plus it come with an inbuilt recharging capability wich i thought was really cool. Just pop in a pair of rechargeables and dont worry bout changin batteries for quite some time. Minus Points :well..nothin tat notable tat could take away a star or half..but if aiwa could throw in a few things like a nice remote and carrying case like panasonic does for its SL-SX28J,wich cost bout the same, then that would be really awesome. however...maybe tats askin 4 too much for somethin tats already so good, so i guess the 5 stars stay! All in all..if u r looking 4 a great soundin player within a reasonable price range and wich has a lotta other really useful features (48 sec anti-skip,dsl, rechargebility,great looks)the this is the one to go for!

Summary: Aiwa produces good quality CD player
Review: I run 3 to 5 times a week. I recently purchased a Panasonic jogger CD player and returned it because it skipped so much. Then I purchased the Aiwa XP-SP920. I like the quality of this product however, there is two features that need improving. The first feature is the skip button, it is in an inconvenient place on the CD player. My other complaint is at times the random feature has a mind of its own. I like the 48 second anti-skip, it works very well. I also am very happy with all of the other features on this product.

Summary: Good for people on the go
Review: This AIWA Cross Trainer works fairly well - it doesn't skip if you run with the CD Player in your hand. However, I've found that even walking with the CD Player in a cargo pocket of my pants will cause skipping. Unlike the Sony Discman player, there is no hand strap on this AIWA model. So if you don't mind holding on to the CD Player while you walk or run, it's a fairly good buy.

The headphones, however, tend to be a bit uncomfortable after a period of time. The little curly things that hook onto your ears put a little pressure on your ears, causing some discomfort. I often use the CD Player but use the more comfortable headphones from a different model.

Summary: Buy It!
Review: This CD player is top notch...I just bought this product and it is the best. It will never skip unless you drop it from high up. I love to get up early and jog with it. Buy it!

Summary: Buy It!
Review: This is a great CD player. Hardly ever skips-never had mine skip. You can play a CD once through, set it to random play mode and even play CD-R/CD-RW discs in it without a fuss! Headphones that come with the product generally aren't too great. There's a lot of leakage and if you like swingback headphones, trust me, and get a pair from another company. This is my first CD player, and I've had no problems with it. Deals with rechargeable batteries well. A drawback, however, is that the lock that keeps the CD player shut can open itself, well, not really. If dropped, the dial can turn and open the CD player. Not a bad portable CD player at all, however.

Summary: Misrepresented
Review: This item is misrepresented, in that the sports pouch was not included. It does not have a lap counter, or a stop-watch. It does not have the capability to switch from jazz, rock, or whatever else it said it would do. I am very disappointed. I went so far as to ask for another player in hopes that these issues would be resolved. Unfortunately, I got the same player, still with no sports pouch.
