Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Citizen CD-230 personal CD player delivers high-quality sound for a rock-bottom price, making it the perfect fit for listeners who value reliability over bells and whistles. The calling card of any Citizen device is simplicity: the CD player includes a set of standard skip/search, play/pause, and programming buttons, all of which are conveniently located for easy operation. Listeners will also delight in the crispness of the programming buttons, which let them repeat individual tracks, repeat the entire disc, or shuffle the tracks randomly. The CD player even offers a 20-track programmable memory for creating custom soundtracks, along with a "hold" function that prevents users from accidentally turning the unit on or off during workouts or while storing the device in a backpack or purse.
Appropriately for a CD player frequently used during workouts, the CD-230 also boasts 60 seconds of anti-shock protection. The feature guards against bumps and jostling caused by stumbles or drops while jogging, or even speed bumps and potholes while on road trips. When users tire of listening to CDs, they can turn to the digital AM/FM tuner, which offers 10 radio presets (5 AM and 5 FM) that make it quick and easy to find a favorite program or station.
To enhance the audio performance, Citizen included a bass boost system. The function adds oomph to the lower frequencies, giving music a richer and fuller overall sound--a must when enjoying bottom-heavy genres such as hip-hop or rap. Additional features include a pair of stereo headphones, an AC adapter, and an internal battery recharger that powers up rechargeable AA batteries (the CD-230 requires two AAs). The unit is also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Great Product at a Great Price!,

This review is from: Citizen CD-230 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Tuner and 60-Second Anti-Shock Protection (Electronics)
As the owner of a number of personal CD players some of which cost several times as much I must say this unit is one of the best. The sound quality is very good and the controls are very convenient and logically laid out. I was very glad to see that they include the AC adapter as I play this primarily at the office where it's on all day. All the connection points are solid and confidence inspiring. The fact that you can even use and recharge the batteries right in the unit using the supplied AC adapter is an added plus (you must supply your own rechargable batteries, of course). As with all CD players with built-in radios you will need a good reception area to benefit from this feature. That means that if, as I do, you work or live in a modern steel framed building you will not get much use out of the radio - but that's true of just about any radio in the bowels of a contemporary office building without some form of external or amplified antenna. Buy this for its good, solid construction, great sound, nice mix of features and the multiple power options (regular AA alkaline batteries, rechargeable-in-the-unit AA batteries or AC out of the wall socket). It would be very hard to find a better unit under any brand name or at more than twice the price. Grab this while you can!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Citizen CD-230 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Tuner and 60-Second Anti-Shock Protection (Electronics)
I'm not an audiophile so i won't bore you with long opinions of each feature of this cd player.What i will tell you is that NO LOCAL RETAILER could come any where close to features and price of this machine and it works VERY WELL, it's controls are logically laid out,it sounds wonderfull, and with the ASP switched on i can't even MAKE it skip.The one year warranty and the CITIZEN brand name is icing on the cake.As i said - WHAT A BARGAIN!!!

Great Player if You're Careful,
By MR (Chapel Hill, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Citizen CD-230 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Tuner and 60-Second Anti-Shock Protection (Electronics)
This CD Player is awesome, but I have a few tips if you're going to buy it (please pay attention, these are important):
1. Be EXTREMELY careful with the battery compartment lid. It's very fragile when open, but fine when closed. 2. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DROP THIS! The CD Player is shock resistent, but a big enough jar could ruin it. Enjoy your player!
