I bought it to take to Europe w/ me on a trip. Needed something small and not real expensive if I lost or something. I'm really happy w/ both the player and speakers. Has no skip protection but it doesn't claim to. Speakers are much more powerful than they look. I say it's a great deal!

Sounds good, skips even on anti-skip. This cd player can play cds pretty well. I use it all the time in school and at home. There is a problem though. It uses up batteries too quickly every half-hour the batteries need changes. My previous cd player however ran much longer on batteries, like 6 hours straight. That's because I payed more for that one than I did this one.

I got this as a request for a cd player for Christmas. Boy, this thing blows. Whenever I walked, it didnt skip. Worse, it turned off, with fresh batteries. Speaking of batteries, this thing eats em up. Doesnt last 45 minutes with top notch batteries like energizer. The radio was alright, dont use it much though. Speakers were mediocre. Dont go with Coby. Go with brands like Panasonic. I got that blue Panasonic portable mp3 cd player. Its Expensive, but hey, its durable, no skip at all, plays mp3 cds. And it looks cool too.

For everything you get, it's a great deal. The CD player has no skip protection at all, but it can take falls and beatings very well. The mini speakers are good to have around and they, too, stand up to beatings.

Got this set last X-mas; used it approx. 30 times always with new "AA" Duracell batteries. I didn't use it for a month or so then in August I tried to play a CD (not a copy-an original!) and it only plays for the first 40 seconds then just spins and spins and spins.....no sound, no new track song plays, nothing!!! I am an adult who takes very good care of electronics....there is no explanation for why this CD just quit in such a short time! Sent e-mail to Coby cust. svc....no replies as of 2 weeks ago! Stick with the "real" brands!

this is the best cd player money can buy. As soon as i bought it i knew it would work fantastically. With the fm tuner and the cd player together this is the best you could buy. And with the mini speakers, you get a surrond sound from this little piece of heaven. I urge you to buy this cd player if you are serching for one. And it doesnt eat up batteries like other cd players.

Just get the AC/DC adapter and you are all set. have batteries as a back up and not primary source.

I got this as a gift from a friend. (Thanks again, Tara!)

Mind that i am not from the US, i was worry that the FM radio that came with the package would not able to receives local stations..

Anyhow, everything seems to works fine. It plays the CD nicely, the speaker is average for matches its package price., i uses my Edifier speakers to listen to Taylor Hicks CD.., it really shaken up my room.., Wooo!!

Overall, this is a good package thats came with a reasonable price.

Give it a try if you haven't yet.. ;)

In all I am very pleased with the Coby CD player. However, that being
said, I have reservations about the accompanied accessories.

1. The ear plugs are very uncomfortable.
2. The exterior speakers are tinny.

To counter both deficiencies I went out and purchased a Bose QC3.
Problems solved. However these two lapses should be considered when
purchasing the setup, unless pricing can make up for the deficiencies
so the customer feels they got a special deal.

I purchased the Coby CX-CD1234 Portable CD Player with FM/AM Radio and Mini Speakers and wouldn't recommend it. The battery power didn't last long. The batteries recommended are rechargeable, but the cord to recharge them doesn't come with the unit and is an extra expense. I wrote to the company regarding this and never received a reply. Also, the instructions aren't very good.

Regarding the accessories: I've purchased headphones at dollar stores that weren't as cheap as the ones that came with this unit. I wasn't expecting Bose quality, but I wasn't expecting the buzzing sound they make, either. The speakers are just as bad. I gave an overall rating of 3 because the CD player itself seems to do well if you use more expensive headphones. I will try very hard never to purchase another Coby product again.
