This is one incredible little cd player. The D-EJ915 is housed in a sleek, rugged aluminum case. All of the unit's functions can be accessed via a convenient backlit remote. It offers Sony's new G-Protection anti-skip system (very effective... I have not been able to make the player skip!) Two levels of bass extension. Excellent 23-hour battery life with the internal rechargeable batteries, increases to 57 hours with the included battery pack.It is very small and light.The audio is amazing, and it makes it sound twice as well produced. The song is great, and the player is great for road trips, plane trips, or just quiet listening at home.I'm sure you will find that the Sony DEJ915 will be worth every penny you pay.
