4.0 out of 5 stars Good machine, so-so headphones.
When my old portable CD player finally gave up the ghost, I was mortified to learn that the maker had discontinued that model. On the recommendation of a friend, I picked up this COBY MP3 CD player. I have smart friends.

This unit plays crisply and cleanly with absolutely no skipping. The headphones that came with it were okay, but they weren't very...

2.0 out of 5 stars Say no to Coby
The sound on the unit is very good. You can recharge rechargeable batteries while in the unit. Only one inch thick. These are things that earn the CD player two stars.

The quality/durability of this Coby CD player is horrid! It only lasted a few months, just like the earlier review. It also skipped all the time, meaning the skip-protection barely worked at...

This review is from: Coby MPCD511 Personal MP3 CD Player (Electronics)
When my old portable CD player finally gave up the ghost, I was mortified to learn that the maker had discontinued that model. On the recommendation of a friend, I picked up this COBY MP3 CD player. I have smart friends.

This unit plays crisply and cleanly with absolutely no skipping. The headphones that came with it were okay, but they weren't very flexible. I took my headphones from my old player and what a difference! Not only was the sound louder but I got much more bass. So five stars for the machine but only three for the headphones. Thus the 4-star rating.

The quality/durability of this Coby CD player is horrid! It only lasted a few months, just like the earlier review. It also skipped all the time, meaning the skip-protection barely worked at all, and it's the stupid meter protection, the one where you have to wait for your skip-protection, which in reality isn't TRUE SKIP-PROTECTION.

There are a few features, but for $30, a CD player that lasts a few months isn't worth that. Don't buy.

This review is from: Coby MPCD511 Personal MP3 CD Player (Electronics)
The title explains it all. Why would you get one of these with all the solid state players out there. Skipped, battery life poor... Need I go on..
