I can't break it!, February 9, 2004
I'm naturally very hard on my portable CD players. I drop them often, throw them around when I get angry, and leave them in the car etc. Usually they break pretty fast...
But then, shopping one day at target I find a pretty cool looking player for a good price that has the radio. I buy it, and I've basically listened to it since I bought it almost 2 years ago.
The sound is very good, although I'd like the volume to be a little louder. It plays all the kinds of CD's I have, so no problems there. The radio is very good, but not perfect. The buttons are pretty easy, although I still haven't figured out the pre-set buttons it doesnt really matter because it saves the station you're on.
One con is the annoying beeping sound it makes when you change a track or pause it. I have gotten used to it, but it never stops being annoying.
And, back to the durability. I've dropped this over and over, even down the stairs and it hasn't broken. My dog even got it once... and it still plays. After some hard falls you sometimes need to play with the insides a little (my way of fixing CD players) and it always works. If you want something that won't break *ever* then this is the player for you! I admit it does skip sometimes, but this only began to happen recently (over the last few weeks). Maybe the poor thing is running out of juice. It could be my stupid CD burner that has been producing faulty unfinished CDs recently, but I'm not so sure...
Anyway, this is a very good investment especially considering the used ones are like, $40. Trust me, this thing is unbreakable.
