Summary: quality and features are definitely here
Review: Four stars because it's not perfect, but I'd buy it again easily.

I bought this player because of my previous positive experiences with Philips and the fact that it simply had more features for the money than other comparably priced models. When you buy a Sony player, you're paying for a brand name. When it comes to cd players, Philips simply provides more quality. My first player was given to me in sixth grade and I kept it until 10th because it had no problems whatsoever. I was really sad to see it go because it just worked so well, but I knew I had to replace it with another Philips model. Like my first player, this one refuses to skip even without the ESP on. The extra features are there too, including shuffle, resume, hold, and two levels of bass boost. Similarly priced Sony models just don't have those features.

The outside design is a classy amber/purple. It's difficult to describe, but the purple looks amber-ish in the sunlight, and ranges from black to brown (and of course purple) other environments. The only fault of the outward design lies in the cd player's tendency to pop open if brushed along the opening mechanism. If you're careful of that and don't mind resetting the bass each time you start it up, then you should love this player.

Summary: IM RETURNING IT
Review: I GOT THIS CD PLAYER FOR CHRISTMAS AND I WAS HESITANT ABOUT OPENING BECASUE I THOUGHT IT WOULDnt BE GOOD FOR SOME REASON, WELL I WAS RIGHT! IT IS A GOOD CD PLAYER WHEN LISTENING TO SOFY MUSIC BUT WHEN LISTENING TO DRUMS AND LOUD MUSIC (WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT I LISTEN TO) IT SOUNDS VERY BAD! AVOID THIS PRODUCT!

Review: I like this cd player because it has a great anti-skip, I use the car kit in my VW Bus and it gets knocked around a lot but the music never skips! I like the look, it is different from the rest of the cd players.

Summary: A player worthy of price....
Review: I purchased this CD Player full and well knowning Philips' good past and I was not disappointed. When combined with Philips folding closed-ear headphones, they provide loud, crystal clear sound with little or no distortion or fuzzing. The battery life holds fairly on par with Sony's, but as far as I'm concerned the Sony players can not even begin to compete with Philips.

Some other things: Battery are placed inside of player. Extremely tough: I've dropped this thing nearly 20 times while at work from about a distance of 3-5 feet and nothing even remotely stops it.

The only real cons are that the LCD screen is slighty hard to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Although it remembers where you stopped it at...
Review: The resume feature is a must have which is nice on here, that's where the player starts exactly where you left off, but it resets the skip and bass features every time you turn it back on which is annoying if you're driving or working and take brakes etc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Value
Review: This product is an excellent value for numerous reasons.

One - the CD player package includes decent headphones, a tape deck interface, a cigarette lighter charger, a removable belt clip and an AC adapter. If you were going to shop for each of these accessories separately - you would spend significantly more overall.

Two - It offers good audio quality with a flexible three stage digital boost for the bass range. I appreciate the option to boost the bass during a hard workout but reduce it for casual listening.

Three - The unit appears more durable than other similiar units I have owned. It is partially metal and has the battery case on the inside of the unit.
