Customer Reviews:

good value.......2003-01-05

These are some harsh reviews I'm reading. I personally owned this CD player and am coming back for another. My last player lasted two years of constant use, dropping, crushing, occasional tossing you name it. The controls are simple, I can use it in the dark half asleep. The sound quality is fine with descent headphones. It's nothing fancy but under normal use the anti-skip is more than adequate. It DOES play all the CD-R's that I've encountered. The bass boost DOES work noticeably. I will however admit that the included headphones are of typical "street style" quality in terms of sound and brittle plastic construction. The inline volume adjust is too sensitive, a brush against your arm could cause the music to stop entirely or blast unexpectedly. Also after a few weeks it (the headset) started crackling. If you care at all about a pure sound you never would have put on the stock set on, there isn't a good set to be found on any player. It does not play MP3's but I've heard that most MP3's are of poor quality anyway. If you want luxury features or a status symbol you will be disappointed. If you want a simple reliable player that wont skip then you've found it.

Don't Buy This Discman.......2001-07-03

This Discman has given me many long hours of grief. The batteries die down so quickly. Also, it is not very compatible with CD-R's. If you buy this discman to save money, the batteries will cost way more in the long run. Go for a discman that uses at least 30 hours out of your batteries.

Buy this if you feel like wasting $45.......2001-05-20

This cd player is really junky. there are so many down sides to it. 1)the headphones are really cheap. They were made of cheap plastic, and broke very easily. 2) The anti-skip feature is basically useless, since it still skipped when it was activated. 3) it's pretty bulky. 4)It doesn't play very long when you use 2 AA bateries instead of the AC adapter. 5) it doesn't play CD-R cd's. The only reason why I still gave this product 2 stars was because it was pretty good when it was new, and everything worked perfectly. However, this product is NOT worth it for the price. To be honest, a cheap CD player like this should be priced for $15.

Your money can buy better.......2001-04-28

It looks pretty good for [the price] but there is more than what meets the eye. Let's start with the good qualities: 40 second anti-shock, bass-boost system, nice design, durable, one year warrany. Now the downsides: The anti-shock needs to build up for 40 seconds at the beginning of every track or each time you return from pause, so therefore if, say, you're jogging with your CD player, you need to wait 40 seconds so the anti-shock can build up, otherwise the bouncing will wear it off while it builds up. The bass-boost makes barely any difference. All it does is increase the volume VERY slightly. After a while, you sometimes need to press the buttons a few times before they actualy respond. The "open" button is very easy to accidently pressand the hold button doesn't stop it. If you drop it while listening to a CD, that part will always screw-up unless you have anti-shock active (The CD will still play fine in any other device, CD player or boombox). And the most annoying part yet (at least it happened to me this way): Last week I put in a CD and tried playing it and I noticed my right headphone wasn't working. I tried using a different set of headphones and the car kit too but it was still screwed. Though I found out that if I put the headphone jack half-way in, I can hear with both ears but only the left ear's part. So say I listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, which has a lot of stereo effects, I hear the left ear part in both ears and the right ear part is missing. REALLY ANNOYING!!! Oh yeah, and all this happened just after my warranty expired. AAAHHH!!! So since durability and nice design don't really count if the thing sucks, the bottom line is buy this if you think [theprice] is worth it for a slightly under average CD player that's good for a year.

Worth it?.......2000-12-17

This is a pretty "cool" CD player and I like the 40 second anti-skip, but I bought it for my car. I have a nice little built-in space for a CD player in my car. Well, this particular CD player doesn't fit in it because the two outlet plugs are on either side of the player. One on the left, one on the right. This makes it wider, and therefore does not fit. That is really annoying! Plus, when the weather is too cold. It doesn't work. I can't keep it in my car in the winter. So depending on what you'll use it for, it's ok.
