I bought this CD player because of its price and what came with it. I figured 'Hey, a CD player, headphones and mini-speakers, not too bad'. Well, turns out I was only half right. While the CD players works fine, it tends to skip a lot. My other CD player had an anti-skip protector, which protected it from the biggest of hits. I could punch it and it wouldn't skip. This one, I tap it and it skips. Although not a major detail, it can become a minor nuisance if your one for listening to music while you walk or jog. Secondly, the mini-speakers. The sound quality is fairly good for speakers of that size, although it sounds a bit tinny at times and you can lose some of the song because you can't hear it. If you turn the volume up, though, it sounds fine. It's loud enough to hear, but doesn't get loud enough to disturb others. They're good for a place where you can't use a stereo system, can't wear headphones, or don't want to wear headphones.

Speaking of the headphones, they have excellent sound quality and I only have one complaint. They rattle a lot when you pick them up. A very minor detail and doesn't affect listening at all. Just something I noticed.

This package is great for the price, but don't buy it if you're going to use it for activities. Unless you wanna hold it in your hand. In that case, be my guest. Also, the mini-speakers are a nifty little item, but as of now, I can't think of a good purpose for them aside from using them while you shower.

Final Review:
Pros-
Great price for the package
Includes all you need to get started
Mini-speakers are a novel idea
Headphones included

Cons-
Tends to skip a lot with the leat bit of touching
Mini-speakers don't have the best sound quality available
Headphones rattle when touched (Minor detail)

Grade - B-

I live for music, day in and day out. I bought this product on base because I did not want to spend over $20 and by the end of that day I wish I had spent more on something else. You can barely walk with this item, it skips very easily. I tried it in my backpack, but the motion of my walk was just too much, I ended up having to walk to where I was going with the device in my hand. The volume does not get loud enough with the headsets and if you are using the mini-speakers, make sure there is absolutely no other noise in the room and keep your windows closed, because you can barely hear it. It's worth the price however, and if you are just lying in your bed or sitting on a train or bus, this is good.
