Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of RCA RP2800 Personal CD Player
Customer Review: Many Flaws, But The Sound Is Very Good
Summary: 4 Stars
Flaws:
The annoying "ear police" feature that turns the sound down each time play is stopped (but not when paused).
Frail battery compartment door on the outside, making it vulnerable to damage if dropped.
It does not "remember" where you were if you stop playing a CD before it's through. Again, OK when it's just paused.
A bit more bulky than most walkman-type players.
The anti-skip feature occasionally fails to function smoothly. It will jump ahead or skip back a second when bounced about. I've noticed this more when using it in the car than when just carrying it around.
The usual useless earbuds. Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS Port make a good budget set of earphones for this unit.
BUT, Bonus Points For:
The thing that matters most to me is audio fidelity (I don't do MP3s), and this thing sounds very good. Running "flat" (no equalization), I find it competitive with my beloved Sony D-NF340 CD Walkman & MP3 Player w/FM Tuner.
The three equalization settings are all useful. The "Pop" setting seems to boost the upper midrange, the "rock" setting boosts the bass (good for earbuds or other cheezy headsets), and the "surround" setting creates an artificial sound field by using reverb and out of phase channel mixing--a pleasant effect for making the audio sound "bigger". Nice in the car.
Controls are simple, accessable, and intuitive. You won't need the manual.
The price, even with the flaws, still make it a bargain. I'm considering purchasing a spare.
It looks nice.
