4.0 out of 5 stars So far, a nice player, March 13, 2008
This review is from: Philips EXP2581 Portable MP3-CD Player (Electronics)
I've owned this player for a week and I like it. It has a simple, uncluttered design and I found the touch interface responsive. Philips is a co-inventor of the CD format, so I thought sound wise they might have done something special under the hood, but the sound is only average - still better than 256kbps AAC Plus files from iTunes. The build quality (made in China) is pretty good with clean seams and the plastic on the bottom has a kind of rubbery feel which looks good. The top has a clear plastic overlay with a reflective undercoating that changes its design when moved around. Using 2 AA rechargeable batteries, I get about 15-20 hours of CD playback, less than the 30 hours advertised but that's because the spec is for MP3/WMA playback. There is a Resume function which allows you to shut off the player to conserve battery life yet, when turned back on the player starts from where you left off and it worked as advertised. The included remote is a bit larger than the pencil type designs and has larger buttons to press. The FM function is very limited and there's no way to visibly know what station you're on, but it can be used separate from the CD player and there is an elastic armband case that is included for this purpose.

Pros:

- simple design with above average build quality for the price
- cool touch interface with or without audible feedback
- higher quality sound than compressed lossy files

Cons:

- FM function is very limited
- no backlit display
- physically larger than many other players, especially the height

4.0 out of 5 stars Only two problems., August 17, 2007
This review is from: Philips EXP2581 Portable MP3-CD Player (Electronics)
Haha, well I have to say that even with the two problems I have with this CD player it definitely better than the CD player I've been using for years (Its from 1994). The touch screen is very responsive and i have no trouble with it. i like the 'resume' feature also. The first problem i have with this CD player is that it will just stop playing and freeze up in the middle of a song. I've only had the thing for a month and the more often i use it the more often this problem seems to happen. My second problem is that i don't like the 'DBB' (Double Bass Booster). I've found that that all that it does is make my music sound murky.
