Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Take your favorite tunes on the road or to the park with this portable CD boombox. Sporting a unique, rounded chassis with silver highlights that's way more fashionable than standard boxy models, the MP-CD451 is an ideal choice for music fans who want a little extra style with their sounds. Fortunately for listeners, the cool shape doesn't detract from the music, as the CD player includes all the basics and a few extras. Among the features are CD-R/RW compatibility and standard skip, search, and repeat one and all functions. Listeners can also enjoy MP3s burned onto CDs, giving them access to a vast digital music library. And because each MP3-CD holds up to 10 hours of music, you can take a ton of music on the road without bringing along dozens of jewel cases. When the CDs are played out, listeners can turn to the AM/FM tuner for a less-structured playlist.

The MP-CD451 owes its audio performance to its 1-bit digital-to-analog converter, which ensures a clean CD sound, and its pair of wide-ranging side speakers. Rounding out the feature set is a 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, a digital two-digit LED display, a telescoping FM antenna, and a flip-up carrying handle. The unit runs on either AC power or six C-size batteries (not included) and measures a compact 8.25 by 5.5 by 8.5 inches (W x H x D). And as with all Coby audio products, the MP-CD451 is backed by a 90-day warranty.

This CD player made a constant humming noise when plugged in. The noise was loud enough that you could also hear it over the music being played. I would not recommend this product.

I thought buying a cheap mp3 playing cd player would be pretty safe, since I wasn't looking for anything to listen to my high end stuff. Well 25 bucks sounded too good to be true. First thing I noticed was an unGodly hum that has no rhyme or reason. I never heard the name Coby before and hope to never hear its name or its hum again. (you get what you pay for)

This review is from: Coby Electronics MP-CD451 Portable AM/FM Radio MP3 CD Player (Electronics)

The negatives are that the sound is not great- sounds like an old fashioned transistor radio. The tiny AM-FM sliderule radio does manage to pull in the stronger stations and also has an FM-Stereo control. The pluses are that unit plays CD's and MP3's (that I copied on to CD-RW's) very well, including MP3's within folders. I've read complaints about much more expensive units that have trouble playing the MP3's. The radio is very handsome too, nicer than the picture shows. Controls are well placed and the antenna doesn't get in the way of the handle. Very good buy for the money ($26 and free postage at the present (2-06))
