An OK player that has some flaws..........2003-08-03

I bought this player a long time ago; it served me well but there were a few noticable flaws. Cheap headphones broke rather too soon. The most frastrating, however, is trying to forward the tracks (FF button activates programming mode) and turn the player off without taking the CD out (double cliking the stop button turns the player off about one it ten attempts). The batteries also are used up rather quickly. If you use it sparingly, it will do, but if you are a hardcore music lover - settle for something more expensive.

Terrible.......2002-12-21

Wow, I see since I bought this unit there have been lots of people with the same troubles I had. I will simply add to the chorus of voices who have said:

1) Eats batteries like mad.
2) Within about a month of buying the unit the buttons stopped working properly. The reverse button advanced tracks, stop would often switch modes, etc. ABSOLUTELY FRUSTRATING
3) The anti-skip protection did not work very well. I got nothign like 40 seconds out of the skip protection and this is just holding the unit flat while walking at a moderate pace.

I was extremely dissapointed with this player. Mine finally just stoppped working one day...

Cool looks, doesnt work tho..........2002-09-01

I bought this same CD player a couple of years ago but I found out that was a big mistake. It started out working really well, and i thought all the negative reviews were wrong. Then after about a week the headphones just snapped as i went to put them on... That's not too big a deal cuz I had others, but about a week later all the buttons got messed up. For example the FF RW buttons switched jobs and so did others. It was really confusing and made it impossible to do anything other than just let the CD play, altho it somehow got put in a random order and the thing to stop that broke. A couple days later, the thing just quit. I tried new batteries but they didnt help. I never dropped it or anything... If u can cough up 15 more dollars buy the cool Cd, CD-R, CD-RW, mp3 thing the have on the site.

Horrible.......2002-08-09

POS.......2002-07-31

Its a POS! It broke the 1st week I had it then I returned it and the 2nd one the headphones broke and you can only hear out of one side. I put a new pair on it and it worked but now you can't hear anything! Ive only had it about a year!
