    Great for books on CD

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've listened to 2 books on CD, both over 20 discs each. The batteries that came with the unit are still working just fine. I wished there was some way that it could remember where you left off listening. Other than that I have no complaints.

    Garbage Product

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Performed OK for six CDs. During the playback of the seventh CD there was suddenly nothing but noise. Confirmed that the CD worked fine on other players and that the batteries were OK. Avoid this piece of crap and spend a few dollars more for a reliable player.

    Skips badly when jogging and anything that may think about bouncing the player. Walking is usually okay.

      Hi.

      Thank you for taking some time off your day to write us this review and I hope it still reaches you. We appreciate the comments you are leaving us. This CD player does not have anti-vibration protection, please be careful when using it.

    Nothing but trouble with it.

    Not very old but uses batteries faster than any I've owned in the past. Does not work most of the time anymore and you have to remember where the recording left off and reset it to that track as it doesn't book mark it.. Last one of this brand I buy.

    Piece of crap

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Poorly constructed, the battery cover wouldn't close, and the player won't play. Don't waste your money. Too bad I didn't try it before the 15 day return policy. Not shopping here again.

    Just bought it and there is absolutely no sound. The CD is spinning and I've played with every setting and changed the batteries but I will have to return it.

    It's not an expensive player and does the job. If you're looking for high quality, you aren't paying enough with this player. But it serves the function.

    Not the best cd player

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this cd player thinking that it was going to be a good value coming from Best Buy, not! It played good for a couple of days. Then I had to keep buying batteries. Not a good brand!!!!!!!!!

      Hi Kikki.

      I'm sorry for the less than ideal experience. This device is juiced by batteries, while we try to make the motor for spinning the discs as efficient as possible, it still can take a toll on the battery life.

    Bought one which lasted for three weeks. Started skipping back and forth within a track. Best Buy replaced it. The replacement lasted less than a week with the same problem. Have now gone with the Sony, which is really the only alternative at Best Buy.

    Worst CD player

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This cd player was horrible. It stopped working about a week after I bought it, and even when it did work it was really loud. I could hear it playing over my music. It sounded like it was eating the cd.

    Garbage

    Product is absolute garbage. The only reason it has a one star rating is because I couldn't select zero stars.

    Not so good

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased for my nephew, who needed it for a Spanish oral exam at his school (they still use CDs!). When he opened the case, the CD player was sticking and not working properly. Immediately returned to the store....Maybe we received a defective product from the batch!

    This CD Player broke with in 6 months.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I looked past the fact that the anti-shock protection didn't work. I looked past the fact that sometimes you hit the fast forward button and it rewinds. i looked past the fact that it didn't play burnt cds. but then, after 6 months it stopped working. New. Old. Burnt cd's. Nothing. Save your money on this on.

    I purchased it to listen to CDs as I flew cross country. It worked fine on the first round trip. Some months later I flew again. This time the volume was loud and the volume control didn't work.
