Title: Downgrade
Product review: I bought one of these because I had a previous model that looked similiar and had the three stage DBB. My two year old player is the best player I've ever heard, so I assumed that this one would do just as well, since it looked similiar and had the same features. However, when I bought this one I plugged in my sony studio monitor headphones, and the sound level was about half that of my two year old player. This was a very big dissapointment. The only way I could get the sound level higher was to use the uncomfortable and low quality in ear headphones that came with the player, which happened to have a defect; the left side was made to fit in the right ear and right side was made to fit in the left ear, so it was even more inconvenient. Philips ought to listen to their older cd players and bring back the good sound quality from years past. Seems like all the portable cd player manufacturers now care only about skip protection and battery life and not sound quality.
