3.0 out of 5 stars Nice player, but NOT for Runners, nor fast walkers., September 15, 2003

This review is from: Samsung MCD-HF920 (Electronics)

Although this is a really nice CD/mp3 player, it skipped like crazy when I tried running with it. According to the box and matching sticker on the player, the unit provides anti-skip of 480 secs for mp3 and 960 secs for WMA, which I guess means that it is still going to skip. I did not try running using a WMA CD because I bought unit to play mp3s. Since the unit did not meet my needs, I returned it.

I am giving this player three stars for the following reasons:

PROS:
- easy to use;
- sounds great;
- nice headphones;
- small and light;
- rechargable batteries provided 10+ hours of mp3 playing;

CONS:
- skipped after a few minutes of jogging;
- no car kit;

3.0 out of 5 stars Slim, Beautiful player, but skips too much, October 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Samsung MCD-HF920 (Electronics)

I bought this from Circuit City yesterday for 90 dollars. since it was the smallest, and cheapest CD/mp3 player with FM tuner, i decided to buy it and see how it works.

It sounds great! it's remote controller has backlit light so it's easy to use at night. its surface is made out of thin, very strong aluminum(or metal, don't know exactly), not like other cheap cdplayers that are made out of cheap plastics.

However, the anti-shock is a total joke. it says 960 seconds shock resistant. No, it's more like 9.6 seconds shock resistant. i wasn't even running. I was walking with this in my pocket, and it was skipping like crazy!

So here is my summary.

Pro:
1. Solid construction.
2. Perfect sound quality.
3. Everything is built-in.
4. Nice remote controller.

Cons:
1. It skipps too much.

2.0 out of 5 stars Laggy, January 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Samsung MCD-HF920 (Electronics)

The cd player has a beautiful design but it lacks many things, which I expected from a Samsung product. First of all, it skips a lot. I had it lying on a desk without moving it and it still manages to skip every once in a while. Second, there is a great lag in between songs and the song stops in the middle and seems to never resume. And when the songs are changing, it makes a loud whirring noise which gets annoying. The anti-skip system is a scam. It says 960 seconds, but it's more like 9.6 seconds. I wouldn't recommend this product to others. For cell phones, get a Samsung. For a CD walkman, get a Sony or something else.
