100 seconds antishock for MP3 Playback is much more impressive and practically executed, leading to a lot less skipping on test. During that time it's quite easy for the unit to skip, and you have to physically hold the player and wait for the buffer to fill. The unit boasts 40-second antishock, but fails to make clear that it takes four seconds short of that for the memory buffer to reach maximum protection. If you want to be sure, there's the customary Hold button. It's also useful that controls need a double tap so carrying the player in your pocket won't accidentally switch it off. That's as long as the extra bass switch doesn't swamp the music. For 128k encoding, preset modes according to Rock, Pop, Classical and other settings can add the bass that lower-bitrate MP3s sometimes lack. For MP3s, the music is loud enough at an encoding rate of 160kbps but the traffic was still audible when walking. When the music has been produced in the last eight years on CD, the peak volume is too loud and we defaulted to 30. Volume defaults to 21 when playing a new CD and can be increased to a maximum of 32. These cheaper headsets were still better than the supplied in-ear models, but using £30 cans from Beyerdynamic and Audio-Technica would be the best trade-off for better quality without driving the batteries too hard. When listening at home we also used Hi-Tex BHP-11. We used Galaxy Headphones costing £10 from Argos with an in-line volume control, which use the neckband system originated by Sony, and a selection of music from originals, to CDs burnt with radio broadcasts and MP3s to test. They are above-average quality, although can be improved upon by Sennheiser's MX500 in ear set costing £20. The second surprise after the price is the fact that the supplied in-ear headphones are quite reasonable rather than the rubbish you'd expect. The minimal packaging shows the mains adaptor, which will turn the unit into its own battery charger for two rechargeables. The DM1945 is actually a sell-up product from Comet, because Proline makes the CD Player alone for £12. When we saw the advertisement, an effective MP3 player for the price of three chart CDs we doubted it was true, so we bought one. Its £30 RRP is standard, not just for seasonal sales.

(Pocket-lint) - If this looks familiar it's because of heavy TV promotion by its seller, Comet.
