This is one great sounding Player. Its got a very handy hand
strap. I have not had one problem with its performance. A good
buy.

I am not sure of the proper term for what happens when the laser reads the data CD but whatever...
This player is fantastic in sound quality and portability.
It has a nice hand strap and it's virtually skip-proof.
If I were to rate stars for the above-mentioned factors,it would be a solid *****!
The gripe I have w/ this player is that 2 out of 3 times that it is played,it refuses to "read" the CD. For what seems an eternity,it'll be searching for data and then give up with an "Error" message on the readout.I usually have to try to get it to work 4-5 times before success.
It also devours batteries,but I guess that is not so unusual.
I got so tired of it's problem reading (good,factory manufactured conventional)CDs,I threw in the towel and purchased a Panasonic from Amazon that has not arrived yet.
I'll keep the JVC for bedside use until it dies and use the Panasonic elsewhere;i have had real good luck w/ Panasonic products (all types,from electric shavers to cassette players, to cassette "walkmans",etc.)
So, the JVC has great sound,esp. thru a pair of Sennheisers...but it is frustrating to use.

I am always impressed with JVC products. This is an excellent, high quality CD player that is easy to use. The shape of the headphones was new to me but they are very comfortable. I am enjoying using this CD player very much and highly recommend it.

The JVC XLPG3B portable CD player is easy to use and gives good quality sound for everything from new age to hard rock.This CD player seems to go through batteries a bit quicker than some other portable CD players that I've had in the past,but battery life is still decent.Overall,this unit sounds good and gives solid value for the money.

This JVC CD player delivers!! The sound is great. It's easy to use, and resists shock pretty well. The two AA batteries that power it last a surprisingly long time. I've owned JVC products in the past, and they've all performed well. I like this one too. One problem is that the earphones while nicely designed, are not adjustable. To get them to fit properly, I have to hang them way down the head onto the back of my neck. Kind of clumsy, adjustibility would make these phones more attractive.

I ride a bike to and from work 3 miles a day even in the snow and rain so I used to go through a walkman a year until I bought this one a few years back.It's lasted longer than any walkman I've ever bought(Even SONYs)and there's still great sound in both sides of the headphones.I've dropped it plenty of times in the road and on sidewalks but it's still undamaged so it's definitely strong.My favorite thing about it though is that you can go over bumps or run with it and it never ever skips.I'm no expert on electronics but I think the fact that the music sounds excellant on it and that it can withstand damage makes this CD player a great buy.

Bought this for Christmas for my daughter , what a waste. After putting in new batteries a few times it was useless didn't work. Giving the benefit of the doubt sent back for replacement, to which received promptly but unfortunately just sent the replacement back for a refund this time , not wasting my time on this model . Buyer beware on this portable cd player.
