Great sound, compact, lightweight, long battery life, includes rechargeable batteries

Poor headphones, S-XBS produces distorted sound

The SLS-265 is a great value in a discman. It's very affordable, includes rechargeable batteries that charge just by hooking up the AC adapter and has great sound. The unit has long battery life and can power most headphones. The included headphones are of poor quality, definitely purchase a better pair. S-XBS is also a poor choice for sonic fidelity, it produces a distorted sound that disturbs the music.

All in all, except for the two caveats, I can say nothing bad about this discman.
