Memorex MD3020 Personal CD Player with 12-CD Carrying Case
Product Description
Amazon.com Review
If you think all budget portable CD players are poorly made, Memorex's MD3020 personal compact disc player will prove you wrong. One of the least-expensive portable models available, it offers satisfying sound and a welcome assortment of features.
There's no mistaking which control you're activating, as the handsome, silver-finished shell employs differently shaped push buttons (for play/pause, programming, repeat, stop, and forward or reverse skip) arrayed symmetrically around its small LCD display.
Rather than using the standard 1-bit digital-to-analog converter found in pricier models, the MD3020 employs a 16-bit chip. This is somewhat of a mixed blessing, as it enables this model to actually outperform the higher-priced units in terms of high-frequency extension and detail, provided it's used with well-recorded CDs. With less stellar recordings, however, the MD3020 can sound slightly harsh or bright due to the more revealing 16-bit D/A converter.
The supplied headphones are unimpressive, though considering the player's price, this comes as no surprise. You'll enjoy better sound by turning on the bass-boost circuit, which adds 6 dB to the low frequencies.
The MD3020 comes equipped with an AC adapter for home use. Oddly enough, the MD3020 lacks any sort of antishock protection. As a result, it's extremely sensitive to bumps and seems to skip at the slightest provocation. If you want a personal CD player to use while you're sitting or relaxing, the MD3020 is an excellent choice. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a driving, jogging, cycling, or even walking companion, look elsewhere.
It's difficult to be too critical of this product's shortcomings. After all, for less than the price of a decent meal, Memorex serves up a fine-sounding, ergonomically excellent player, a pair of average headphones, an AC adapter, and a padded carrying case. Budget-conscious music lovers who listen to relax, rather than to sweat, could scarcely find a better way to spend a few dollars.
Pros:
Great build quality for the money
Intuitive controls ensure foolproof operation
Cons:
No antishock protection
