Summary: Had some trouble...
Review: Overall, this has been an okay purchase, but there have been several problems that have gotten worse the longer I've had the thing. I take very good care of sound equipment, so I know the fault here's not mine.

1) I've noticed a loss of sound quality (distortion, fuzz, etc.) at higher volumes, no matter what sort of speakers or headphones I've tried. I think the unit just isn't made to handle the kind of output that its volume control thinks it can handle.

2) It has always worked fine in the car, but when I use it at home, on a flat surface, I have frequent troubles getting it to read a CD. Only by propping the unit up at a slight (or sometimes not so slight) angle will it settle down and keep from skipping. And this happens even with brand-new CDs, straight out of the box.

Apart from that, it has at least worked, in a very basic way. And the delay feature is very durable and reliable, once you can actually get the ting to read whatever you put into it. I just can't recommend it overall, given my experience.

Summary: Does What It Say's On The BOx
Review: The best thing about this cd player is the fact that it can stand up to being dropped on the floor and still plays perfectly without skipping. This cd player has loads of features like 24 memory programme, hold feature, is lightweight and comes complete with ac adapter and headphones. This isnt the best package on the market but it serves it purpose like it's supposed to without causing too much grief

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: pretty pleased with it
Review: the sound on this is really great- very rich and full when using headphones. this thing plays FOREVER on one set of batteries. in the car, i was pleasantly surprised with how clear it sounded.

one thing to note: the power adapter is very bulky and might not fit in everyone's lighter space.

Summary: Nice CD Player
Review: This CD Player is a good one it is small relative to many others it sounds good, but I use good headphones. It never skips and for the price I am happy with it. It takes CD-Rs It has all the fuctions you would want in a CD Player (Random, Program, repeat, ect...)it looks good. You can always buy bigger more expensive CD players but for the price of this one you got what you paid for, and a little more. A good deal for the price.

Summary: NEVER SKIP
Review: This CD player never skips w/ the anti-skip on when i bought this, the sales guy tried to get me to buy a sony CD player with the G-SHOCK but it looked cool but the raido didnt work well my friend said . I also like loud music with lots of bass well when i didn't want the headphones on i put them next to me and turned the voloume up all the way and i can hear fine. The headphones are good, the car kit works perfect because I just plug it into my lighter in my car and pop the cassette in and it works. I baraly ever change batteries I highly suggest that you get this great CD player

Summary: pathetic
Review: This CD player was great for the 3 months I had it. It was great never skipped at all NEVER skipped once. But when i dropped it on a hard-wood floor from 1foot up it shattered into a million pieces. It might have just been an awkward position but if it broke from a standstill then it is guarrenteed to break from a drop while jogging.

So basically if you plan to use it in a car or another safe position go for it

Summary: Sometimes you can love it, some times you beat it up
Review: This is good sometimes only. We've got many of these. It's just ordinary. Same sound, same features, nothing new.

For some reason I love listening to it on the CDs. I have no reason for any of this. It really depends on how picky you are rather than anything else.

Summary: More of an inconvenience than a convenience
Review: This is my own fault. I've been too busy to take my car in to have a CD changer installed in the trunk. So instead I bought this portable CD player. Using the headphones, it plays as well as any portable CD player I've heard. But with the car kit's tape inserted in the cassette player, the volume must be cranked to get a decent level and sometimes causes distortion. I don't blast my music, but I'm not into background 'musak' eithor. But worse - it's really hard to open and insert CD's while driving. The mechanism to open it must be slid while keeping your hands from blocking the opening of the lid. A near impossibility to do with one hand while watching the road. It has a spindle inside to press the disc on (sopposedly to enhance the anti-skip function). Try doing this while driving! I'd rather prolong my life. I'll take my car in for the installation of a CD changer and return this portable player to Amazon instead.

This is not to say that someone looking for a CD player for biking or jogging wouldn't enjoy this one. But if your looking for a player to use in your car, you won't be happy with this. The sound is not good when played thru the car kit and it is dangerous to manage while driving. Stick with cassettes or move up to the real thing, like me.

Rating: 5 stars
