First I paid $20 more than amazon is charging - so that is a good deal..

But I have had alot of mechanical issues with it...

First the headphones broke in about a week and a half - there are some fairly narrow areas and it snapped.

My second issue is that it takes AAA batteries in the player and AA in the separate unit that will extend the play time but really - this is impractical for my son who would take it and put it in his pocket. He was not going to take the extra battery pack. That made replacing the batteries a chore and expensive.

Third - the unit failed in about 5 weeks - after I had thrown out the reciept and couldnt return it to the store. I will say that I called panasonic and they have a year warentee so they are going to replace the unit if I send it to them...however when the headphones broke I just threw them out and they wont replace them.

I have been searching for the rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery HHR-4AGA/2B that Panasonic recommends in the user manual for the past 2 weeks. This battery is not available in stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart, Target, Radioshack...how does Panasonic expect people to get replacements.

I called Panasonic today and the person I talked to said they dont understand what the part number was!! What a joke! Finally they were able to give me a price $9.00+ shipping (probably more than the battery)+ tax....I think this is a big rip off.

Personally I'm thinking of replacing this product. Doesnt make sense to buy something and have to spend a forture on non-rechargeable batteries. I dont have much of a choice with rechargeables..because other than the HHR-4AGA/2B nothing will charge in this system.

Wont recommend people to buy it...unless you are willing to spend extra money on a separate charger + batteries.
