MP3 Player
If you're looking for a MP3 Player to have at the bedside for continuous music, or wherever in the house, and you don't want to use headphones and/or, you don't need to carry it around, this item works very well. It's proven to be a good workhorse. I just set the repeat button and enjoy while reading, doing housework, or going to sleep. It's also great for lectures...

I bought this player for my kitchen and really only needed it for the basic functions of playing cds and fm radio. I have had it for only one week and I'm disappointed. This player refuses to play two brand new, right out of the wrapper cds. And I know it's the player because I've tested both cds in two other stereos around my house. Another disappointment is that any little vibration causes cds to skip. I have it on the kitchen counter and if a fork is dropped in the sink, there goes my smooth listening. On the positive side, the sound is good for the small space I'm using it in and I actually get better reception from this player than my other more expensive digital ones.

I was really disappointed. Ordered this for my Mom for xmas and it wouldn't play any cd's right out of the box. I guess this company has not heard of quality control, since 2 out of 3 reviews at this point have said their player was defective. Gonna return it today.

It's proven to be a good workhorse. I just set the repeat button and enjoy while reading, doing housework, or going to sleep. It's also great for lectures that are on this kind of format. This item is also very reasonable for price. It does have headphone access as well.

I bought this because I wanted a mp3 cd player for audiobooks. Amazon shipped it quickly, but the product does not work. It does not play CDs or MP3 cd's although the radio did work. Now I am stuck with 8 C batteries with no use for them and have to mail the thing back. Good thing Amazon had a great returns policy! Buyer beware!!

I didn't think it was possible to screw up a CD player/radio so badly. The radio is entirely an afterthought. There's no way to see what radio station you're tuned to! I expected the front panel LCD to show what station I'm tuned to, but it stays blank with the radio on. The sound quality is very weak and bad; there's a persistent hiss. Even with the volume turned all the way up, it's weak - you'd think you could get more out of the speakers. The antenna is pathetic - fully extended, it's only 9.5 inches. The lid for the CD player doesn't pop up high enough; it wouldn't take long before it gets broken. I don't think I've ever kept anything with the name "Coby" on it - I'm returning this immediately and in the future I'll never consider another Coby product.

I bought the COBY MP-CD455 from a store (not amazon) as I needed a portable CD player/Radio for my desk at work. The radio works fine but the CD player is crap. There is ZERO anti-shock and even brand new CD's skip, even without any vibrations. It completely refuses to play my Tom Waits "Foreign Affairs" album as it spins the CD and recognizes how many tracks there are, but then theres just no sound. Finally, I cannot skip through the tracks on most of my CDs as doing so causes the unit to reset. I have to listen to the entire CD to get to the track I want. Unfortunately, I threw away the packaging and receipt before testing the CD player so now Im stuck with this $40 peice of garbage. I sent COBY a pretty nasty E-mail, which not surprisingly they havent responded to. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS, OR ANY OTHER, PRODUCT BEARING THE NAME COBY. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND AM PERSONALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SMASHING THIS THING INTO A HUNDRED PEICES!

I use for MP3 playing only, volume not adequate, plays MP3 disc then cuts off in the middle of the disc.
