This was originally going to be posted in the venting thread but I thought it'd fit better here..

I am listening to my music with a cd player now than using the computer's system due to two reasons. The Koss headphones are getting to be a real doozy to wear and also my family always tell me to turn it down when I put it through the subwoofers which sucks anyway as it emits white noise.

I should have as always check the reviews of cd players first then decide to buy it but oh well, I'm stuck with it. :banghead:
I bought a Panasonic Shockwave SL-SW960V. Everything's great on it including the FM/AM radio except for a few reasons.
  1. As said by a reviewer, the maximum volume on this thing is crap. It should be turned up by five-ten more points to get it good. Rock/Metal music can be heard pretty well but when listening to pianissimo music in a train, you can forget about it.
  2. It doesn't use a dialer for volume control too.
  3. It is a bit bulkier than a normal cd player would be and it weighs a bit too much for my taste which sucks as it won't fit into my jacket/pants pocket.
Headphones did matter though, I had use the Panasonic headphones that came with it which was utter garbage but starting today, I am using Sennheiser MX500 earbuds. Which is a whole lot better.
