Pretty Good Overall.........2006-07-07

This is one of the best cd players out there, besides the Sony Discman. The bass is good, and the sound quality is basically mediocre.I didnt like the original headphones that came with this, so I use a older pair of the same pair I bought at Hudsons Treasure hUnt lol! It plays all cds, even burned ones so you wont have any problems with that feature. Sometimes I wish It would get louder even though I have some really good headphones. And the battery life lasts me weeks I dont know what everyone else is talking about.

The best of the many i bought.......2005-10-01

I got this at Target they have a good return policy and it works well. Actually this is the second time i got it. I tried RCA which sucked then i tried this one which was good, the only compaint is the battery life is not so hot so i took that one back then i got a cheap 10.00 one which skip like crazy and i took that one back. Then i bought a sony twice this one was clearence and it started to not to play my cds after 4 months of having it and spined like crazy when you shut it off so i was stuck with that one. Stupid me i got another sony and that one did this annoying cracking sound (within a week or purchase) which scratched my cds. So after this i was fed up and i re got this philips one. So what about the crappy batery life batteries are very cheap i stock up on them when they are like 75 cents for a four pack. The only other compaint i have about this is that sometimes it does not play the cd on the first time you have to open the player up and close it and push play again but then it works. Also this a good cd player when it comes to not skipping, i play it while i walk to work and have no complaints.

5.4/10.0.......2005-07-12

The Good: Decent sound quality, the resume feature (remembers where you were on a disc even after you've shut if off), very good skip protection.

The Bad: Not quite worth the price, not exactly Jogproof. Battery time will only get you through a week and a half if you listen to CDs as often as me. Sparsity of features. You can get a much better CD player with a comparable price.

The Bottom Line: For a little lower price, you're better off with the SONY D-EJ360 CD Walkman(R) Portable CD Player, with longer lasting battery time, and a few more features (as far as cd players go, Sony almost always makes a superior product).

In one week of average music-listening, I'd say I use this player about 9 hours. It won't last much more than that; maybe 12 hours, no matter what kind of batteries you use. This makes the Philips Jogproof an awful choice for long trips.
Additionally, I don't know why Philips entitles their product Jogproof. If you're silly enough to clunk around a big cd player like this in your pocket, you're probably not much of a jogger. Additionally, Philips has all its controls on the top of the player, so buttons will probably accidentally get pressed mid-jog.
The Jogproof Philips has three features, besides the standard on any player. There's DBB for Bass Boosting, which I have only used about twice. There's a few modes, including Repeat All (repeats each song once, before going to the next song), SCAN, similiar to the radio scan feature that comes in most car radios, shuffle, and repeat, which plays the song you're on over and over. The third button, program, is practically a joke, since all it does is programs what kind of mode you want for the disc in the player.
Overall, I do not recommend this player.

Horrible waste of money.......2004-11-28

The claim is that the batteries can last up to 70 hours - I only listen to an hour or two of music on it a day, and I end up changing the batteries about every week. When you want to pause the song and skip forward or backward into it, you would think you would have control over where it goes, right? Nope, it will automatically shuffle to a random point on that track or it'll just skip forward to the next track. I dropped it once but it was only from 2 feet onto a carpet, parts broke off that I had to put back together.

Don't buy this, please. I'm sorry that I did.
