Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The GPX C3980RS personal CD player supports audio CDs, plus CD-R/RW discs. With a forty-second anti-shock system, the player is a nice companion while running, biking or participating in other "rugged sports." The CD player has various play modes including normal, repeat all songs, repeat one song, or program mode. In the program mode it is possible to save twenty tracks to a play list, perfect for a difficult workout. The player runs on two AA batteries. To help save battery power, the player offers both a power save mode and a low battery alert. Should you run out of batteries, simply hook up the included AC adaptor for an unlimited power supply. Along with the AC adaptor, the package also comes with turbo-style, in-the-ear stereo headphones. With the bass boost system, sound quality is much-improved, helping to counter the bass-low characteristics of headphones. Other features include: hold, resume, intro scan and random.

What's in the Box
GPX C3980RS portable CD player, stereo headphones, AC adaptor and a user's manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awesome asthetics , Horrible Sound, May 9, 2001

Perhaps the best looking and worst sounding personal CD player out in the market. The volume and clarity of sound is just not there. I wonder why the company wants to ... such a wonderful looking product. I am a great fan of aesthetics so I bought this ( although I am a firm beliver of sound from Aiwa and sony systems)and I decide to take a chance on the quality of sound asuuming how bad it can be? But guess what! I have the worst sounding CD player. So Don't judge by outside,,,,,Inside matters and this one ... inside

1.0 out of 5 stars SPORTS player?, July 24, 2001

Hmmm.....I'm thinking the name "rugged sports player" was a misnomer....I'm sure this player would be more than adequate for someone who's bedridden, but try to jog with it and you'll soon find out it's NOT very activity acclimated AT ALL......

1.0 out of 5 stars They should pay you to buy this thing!!!, July 4, 2001

This review is from: GPX C3980RS Rugged Sports Personal CD Player with 45-Second Anti-Skip Protection (Electronics)

I bought one of these doorstops and the only feeling I got was that I wasted $50. It has 45 second ESP but it skips after 10 seconds. unless you move the batteries around enough the motor won't turn. You cant turn it off until its done finding (or more often not finding) the disc. This thing dosent even make a good door stop. I give this thing zero stars, but they don't have an option for that.
