    It's not too big to carry on the bus and fits in a tote bag. I like the esp anti-shock feature, which allows for smooth play. My only complaint is the sound level only goes up to 30.

    Excellent unit. Would be nice if also had a/c adapter included. Disappointed that I received order with two, old batteries (Vivoc brand - never heard of) that died after only playing CD for 1 hour.

    Its a nice cd player to have as a backup, but sadly they just use extremely cheap parts for it. The electronic skip protection is mid compared to sony's g-protection technology (1999). The included headphones are absolutely terrible, so just be ready with your own headphones. All of the buttons choose what function they want to execute. They do not work properly all the time. I would only recommend this as a backup.

    My twenty-year-old portable C D player gave out and was needing new batteries constantly. I was S-O-O-O fortunate to find this player at Best Buy. It works perfectly and now I can have my music when I power walk early in the morning. Can always count on Best Buy to meet all our electronic needs.

    It is what it is, a cheap personal cd player. Works the way it should, and the sound is good for a cheap player. Just wish the ear buds weren't as cheap as they are.

    Have many cd's and unable to listen to them. This purchase allows that I can enjoy cd's when I like. Older individual and did not wish to invest great deal into the endeavor, but am very satisfied with operation and quality of sound delivered

    Wanted to love this, but had major playback issues

    I had high hopes for this iLive portable CD player, and there were a few things I did like right away. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with headphones, and honestly, they sounded pretty good to me. The design and layout of the controls also felt good to me. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended for me. When playing music, there was a noticeable low-level static sound in the background. I tested multiple CDs to rule out disc issues, but the problem persisted. After about 30 minutes of use, I started experiencing playback glitches where parts of the current song would repeat every few seconds. This happened with every disc I tried, which made the device pretty much unusable. I’m really disappointed because I was excited to have a simple way to listen to CDs again, and I do like the look and feel of the player. But with these sound and playback issues, I’ll be returning it. I wish it had worked out.

    Love this CD player--most on the market are junk, but this one is great--does eat through batteries if you listen to it a lot, but no issues and enjoy this CD player
