Sony DVE7000S DVD Walkman

I boought this unit to replace a dead clamshell-style case while on vacation. I love gadgets myself, but I mainly bought it for my 4 and 7 year old daughters to use. They love it so much and it works so well that I will probably wind up buying a second unit. They love being able to hold the unit and have the movie close to them without having to worry about accidentally hitting the wrong button. The dual headphone jacks are wonderful! They both get headphones, and i don’t have to buy a separate splitter and crank the volume. The Sony has no problems driving two sets of headphones like most players would. It’s a sleek design that fits well in hands (even smaller ones). It’s a bit heavy, but it’s more of a solid feel than a clunky feel. The unit is very well made and charges rapidly. It has around 3 hour battery life, great for such a large, bright screen. The remote is nice and well laid out. The player can be charged by itself, or in the included charging/speaker dock. This unit is great for travel. My girls can watch it in the car or on a plane, then can listen with speakers via the dock while we are in a motel. The ONLY thing that I wish that the player had was a removable battery so that I could buy an additional one so that I could charge one whil the other is in use. That’s nit-picky, but this device is so great that you have to dig deep to find anything even remotely negative about it. It’s typical Sony quality and top-rate functionality.
