Customer Review: Low price, but greatThis is a very good
Summary: 3 Stars
Very good CD player if you are not anal about non-skipping or other bells and whistles. It serves my purpose(s) perfectly .... even though the 1st one I received was broken. Amazon always makes good on their promises.Customer Review: Does what I wanted it to do
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this item to listen to my CD's rather than what was being played on the vehicle's radio. While the volume may leave something
to be desired for the price who can complain?

Summary: 3 Stars
I got this for my 6 year old grandson who loves music. It is a good cd player that has stood up well from being dropped by my grandson. He likes it very well.Customer Review: you get what you pay for--and that ain't much with this one
Summary: 2 Stars
COBY claims that this portable CD player will let you reliably listen to CDs with the headphones that come with it--but don't be too surprised if it fails you after just a couple of months. This is truly a case of "you get what you pay for." On the other hand, this might be a first portable CD player to give to a young child so that it won't break your heart (or your wallet) if the child drops it and it dies.
This portable CD player uses two AA batteries and, on the bright side, as long as it works you'll get a good amount of play time if you pick good batteries. It weighs barely more than eleven ounces; and that's good.
At first glance the controls on the CD player itself appear slightly confusing but after a couple of minutes you can learn the functions. The controls let you do just the basic things such as adjusting the sound, starting a CD, pausing the CD and stopping it. You can skip tracks as well using the buttons on the player.
Unfortunately, there are more disappointments. The control buttons are rather small so you need to be careful of how you touch them with your fingers. Moreover, the ear phone set hurt my head and ears almost from the word go. I would suggest that you purchase a better quality headset--but then you'll have to buy a headset that's significantly more expensive than the portable CD player itself! Ouch!
Music lovers will probably not be satisfied with this cheaply manufactured portable CD player; although it might be good for a young child who might accidentally bang it around a bit. In addition, the features don't always work reliably after a couple of months; and that's a shame. The quality of the sound could be better, too.
Skip this one and get a better portable CD player. You'll thank yourself down the road!
Customer Review: Pretty Much Worthless

Add my negative review to the rest of the comments here, I'm actually quite surprised they still this piece of junk. Sure, if you want to use this CD player when you are not in motion, it's a somewhat decent bargain bin CD player, for most. It plays CD's for a low price, and that's I guess more than enough if you aren't expecting much for about ten bucks. It's bare bones, alright, with nothing but the ability to, skip around the album. That and a VERY small display that displays the number of the track and a few other things. Alright, sure, but for one important thing:
This thing SKIPS like crazy. You can forget about this piece of crap being portable, because this thing is pretty much useless for just about anything else but listening to it dormant on a desk. This piece of crap skips if you move it at ALL. I'm not exaggerating, this piece of junk has so much trouble just playing the damn CD, when I took it on a road trip, the thing didn't even work when trying to ride the bus, in my lap. That's how bad the thing skips, so just imagine using this thing for running. Indeed, this thing is about as useful for on the go use as you can imagine a CD player that skips if you try to move it with a nudge.
Face it, if you want a CD player to have any use portability wise, you need to find something that has skip protection. Never thought that some silly feature SKIP PROTECTION could be SO handy. Pick up a Sony Walkman CD player and don't even buy this. Take your parent's advice they told you when you were a kid: good things come to those who save their money for something better.
