Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The GPX C3935 personal CD player supports audio CDs, plus CD-R/RW discs. The C3935 package includes several key accessories. The first of these is the complete car kit, which includes both a cassette tape adaptor and an AC/DC car cigarette lighter adaptor. With these two components it is possible to connect the player to a car or truck's tape deck and listen to your favorite CDs. Another key feature in the package is the pair of digital headphones. These overhead-style phones come with an in-line volume control, allowing for volume adjustment even when seated far away from the player. Finally, the player offers a three-level equalizer which allows the listener to find the exact tone, range and bass. The ten-second anti-shock system enhances the portability of the player and makes it even more realistic for automobile listening. Take it running, walking or while crossing the country in a car: this player will handle the bumps. With the twenty-two track programmable memory, individual play lists become a possibility. This is a nice option when finding the perfect song order for a hard workout, or when easing to sleep after a hard day. With the bass boost system, sound quality is much-improved, helping to counter the bass-low characteristics of headphones. Other features include: hold, resume, intro scan, repeat and random.

the best cd player ever.......2003-02-09
Defective.......2002-08-14
GPX disc skip system.......2001-11-29
Powerful amp & eq, best sound.......2001-07-27
I'm an EQ fanatic, and this player confirmed why. With any earbuds or headphones, especially good ones, you can dial in better sound with the help of an EQ.
The EQ sliders are always right there within reach. The EQ is paired with a strong amplifier. The documentation has no specs, surprisingly, but my guess is that this has at least a 15 mW per channel capacity, if not more. Some MiniDisc players put out as little as 5 mW per channel.
With this player and decent headphones or Sony's new $10 silver earbuds, you can dial in better sound than with players that only have bass boost. My Rio Volt MP3 CD player has EQ, but the EQ is removed as you turn the volume up to above 30 out of 40, and the EQ starts becoming very unpredictable and uncontrollable, as well as difficult to navigate to. This GPX C3935, however, offers immediate access to the Bass Boost switch, an instant-response traditional potentiometer, and direct access to the 3 EQ sliders (100 Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz) -- with no overintelligent compression or other funny business to reduce bass when you turn the volume up.
This CD player gives you more flexible and direct control over the sound shaping than players that lack EQ or have overly fancy programmable EQ. For example, when listening to a custom mix CD-R, each song may call for a slight adjustment of EQ, and this player makes such adjustments easy.
With my $100 JVC headphones, I'm in awe at the great, controllable results using nothing more than this CD player and the headphones. In some ways, the player looks cheap, but it also looks cool with the EQ and the spinning CD visible -- and its great sound more than compensates.
The EQ controls are small and recessed -- a little delicate to operate, but mostly immune to accidental adjustment inside a backpack.
It only claims 10 seconds of anti-skip buffering; however, the anti-roll feature seems effective and I can move the player vigorously without skipping.
This player doesn't have Resume, but it has the other standard features such as program play, repeat, and random.
The EQ even allows getting fair sound out of the included headphones. The included headphones are light gray - cheap looking.
The cassette adapter worked great, with high fidelity, in my home mini-stereo, but my stock car deck ejected it. I'll have to just use regular or custom CD-Rs in the car deck, rather than using this cassette adapter to feed a MiniDisc or MP3 source.
Soundwise, this player runs circles around the $160 Rio Volt, and I expect to listen to this GPX more often than the Rio Volt, at least until I receive a Red Sound Micro Amp battery-powered amp with treble and bass controls.
Also, because this is a wonderfully straightforward traditional CD player, it does not insert an audible gap between two standard audio tracks that run together on an album -- unlike the Rio Volt when playing a standard audio CD.
I love this player like I loved my cassette player with 4-band EQ before it was stolen. I'm continuing research on all portable players that have separate bass and treble, or ideally, 3+ band EQ with physical sliders.
It is nice that this unit comes with an AC-to-DC adapter and a car cigarette power adapter -- these extras helped me decide to buy this player.
This player was a "score" and confirms I'm on the right track, searching for portable players with custom EQ such as separately adjustable treble and bass, at least.
For example, the new Sony 900 MiniDisc portable recorder can produce much better sound with various headphones than its siblings, because it has separately controllable bass and treble -- however, it takes too many button-presses and 2-second wait periods to change those settings.
