4.0 out of 5 stars CD Player
I bought this when my other player just gave up the ghost. I had it for a very long time. I can't complain about this new one except it seems to use up batteries very fast. Other than that it works just fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for - poor quality & lacking features
I put this on my wishlist because I didn't want friends spending a lot of money, but I could use a CD player. It feels flimsy and cheap. It goes through batteries like crazy. There is no way to stop it at a particular location and re-start later at that same location. If you hit pause and are delayed coming back, the batteries are dead. The left side of the headset...

I put this on my wishlist because I didn't want friends spending a lot of money, but I could use a CD player. It feels flimsy and cheap. It goes through batteries like crazy. There is no way to stop it at a particular location and re-start later at that same location. If you hit pause and are delayed coming back, the batteries are dead. The left side of the headset already stopped working (I've had it for about 1 1/2 months of minor use). I do not recommend this to anyone. It's very annoying.

3.0 out of 5 stars works but cheap, August 31, 2007
By C. Breazile (Boulder Creek, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Personal CD Player with 60 Sec. Anti Skip & Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
I bought this product so I could listen to CD's while in bed. When I got the CD out of the box and attempted to use it, I had to readjust the headphone jack several times to get the sound to work on both sides. The place to put in the batteries was cheap plastic and will break easily if mishandled. This product does work, but, you must handle with care for fear of breakage. I feel this product will at most last a year because it is made so cheaply. If you want a CD player then pay a little extra to get one that is made better.

1.0 out of 5 stars One can do better, October 20, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Personal CD Player with 60 Sec. Anti Skip & Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
I received two of the CD players beecause of a delay in shipping. I overpaid. The construction is barely there, the anti-skip protection is non-existent. On an enviromental standpoint the player EATS batteriers. You can do better.

This item skipped at the lightest movement & the sound was not good at all. I gave it away. I purchased a different CD player. I have had 2 Coby CD players & have been dissatisfied with them both. I won't buy Coby again, no matter how cheap. You get what you pay for!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Customer Service, September 5, 2007
By Noel Wynn (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Personal CD Player with 60 Sec. Anti Skip & Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
The company I purchased the personal CDplayer from, Coby, has good customer service as I discovered when I had to call about a technical problem in the operation of the player. I described the problem to a supportive tech person, who was easy to reach by phone--no long menu of choices to listen before I talked to a real person. The player has to be returned to the company and it will be replaced by Coby at no extra charge except for a small shipping charge.

1.0 out of 5 stars Spend a little more, get a lot more., March 1, 2009
By Warren (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Personal CD Player with 60 Sec. Anti Skip & Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
I purchased this cd player a year or so ago. I thought that by now the other brands like Coby would have caught up to mainstream brands in quality, I saved about $20 in this transaction.

*This cd player won't play anything but perfect cd's, the slightest scratch sends it into spasms which are reduced by turning the skip protection off, ironically.
*There is no external power plug
*Player takes forever to spin up, and an eternity if it sees a scratch.

I am going to have to go out and buy another cd player because this one certainly isn't any good. It does not work like it should, so spare yourself the pain and get a better product.

I bought two of these. One for my wife and one for her friend. They both worked great. No skipping and good sound quality for an inexpensive portable unit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice little play, October 8, 2008

This review is from: Personal CD Player with 60 Sec. Anti Skip & Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
I like the player. It is easy to use and has good sound. My only disappointment was that it doesn't have an AC jack. It really never occurred to me to check that before I bought it. I have rechargable batteries, so it isn't a problem, I just prefer having the AC power option. It included good headphones.
