I got these at thrift store and love them! They are Panasonic SL-SX400 CDP and Sennheiser MX400 earphones, both in great condition. I bet most of you audio enthusiasts have tried cdp back in the days, but if you haven't, they sound very good. Most of them including mine has powerful headphone amps, and I could even rock my hd560s with 50% volume. Of course they are not hi-fi level of sound but it is very enjoyable. If you never experienced them, I highly recommend to try it out.

I just busted out my Sony CD Walkman D-E220 and a copy of Weird Al - Off the Deep End. Ahh memories. I can't believe you can still buy this model on Amazon.

In 2000 I had upgraded to a Minidisc, which didn't skip, and had a TOSlink input so I could rip CDs digitally to MD. Also upgraded my PortaPros to Grado SR60s.

That was the 90's son - I've got a SL-SX500 from 1998 w/ 40 seconds of anti-shock memory II. It served me well, I used to haul it everywhere listening to stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if it still worked if I threw some batteries in it.

The mid cycle players let you put MP3s on a disc, cool but not great, the upper tier end ones let you use Sony's proprietary compression format and jam hours of music on a disc - pretty impressive. That's assuming you could get the software to work though.

>Sony's proprietary compression format

All of them used ATRAC, Sony's compression standard. It was initially equal to 80 minutes, which covered exactly what a CD could. Later versions let you go further than the 80 minute limit, but they didn't become common until mp3 had already won that race.
