    This product never worked for me. I tried new batteries to see of that was the problem, but no luck. Luckily I was able to return the product under return policy. I did not replace as we decided to go a different direction. Our reason for purchase was for audio books on CD. I would also like to note that the headphones that come with this product are very small. I would have never been able to use this device with the headphones it came with.

    I bought this because my son needed it for an occupational therapy practice called therapeutic listening where he listens to CDs twice a day. It works well, have noticed any skipping or any flaws and was pleased to find one for in store pickup nearby. I was sure I'd have to order it online!!

    I use the player to listen to books and it didn't pick up where it left off when I stopped the player. At least I couldn't figure out how to do it.

    I did not attempt to use this until after the time to return it had run. Then found that it just did not work. I had inserted batteries as required. But it just did not work at all. Too late to return. Since then, have checked others reviews on other sites and seen many complaints. The price is low. But what does that matter if it just doesn't work?

    I purchased and returned four players within a month from two stores. they all had the same problem - they would get stuck at at approximately the same spot 5 - 8 seconds of play. what a big disappointment! i ended up using my computer to play the the same disc with no problem at all.

    Christmas gift for a 95 year old friend in a nursing home in another state. I wanted him to be able to hear the Audio Movie Unbroken so I bought the CD's and this player. Per his daughter it never worked and even the staff could not get it to work. Will return once it is sent back to me. Very disappointing.

    I like most things about it, except when I turn it off, it doesn't stay where I stopped, so I have to forward and search for where I stopped.

    I was very pleased with this CD Player because it performed well, with minimal "skipping," when held vertically in a suspended bag while walking and jogging. Sound quality is great. Excellent value for the price.

    Great when it works

    Purchased this unit today. The first unit I obtained, the STOP button did not work at all. I returned it to the Best Buy store and exchanged it for another one. The second unit works great - no problems at all. I might add the customer service representative was extremely helpful in making the exchange. I was extremely pleased with their service and support. Putting in and taking out the CD is extremely easy and the buttons are easy and simple to use. The sound through the provided earphones is more than adequate. They certainly will not satisfy the audio aficionado but they hold their own in regards to clarity of sound and the overall cost of the player. The unit is very light. As of now, I'm glad I got this model. I highly recommend this unit for its simplicity of playing CDs. My only caution would be to insure all of the buttons operate correctly before making the purchase especially if you live some distance from the store. Of course, if you order it on-line ... well, good luck. I would have given this player a 5-star rating had the first unit worked correctly.
