Summary: Garbage!
Review: I bought one and sent it to my kid at summer camp, it lasted 3 days! This product is pure garbage!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not too great
Review: I bought this cd player about a month ago and I already had to get a new one. If you are looking for something very very simple then this is ok for you. It does not have anti-skip which became very inconvenient after a while. The sound quality isn't the best either. If you want something very simple then this one is good.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Acceptable...
Review: I bought this CD player because of its price and what came with it. I figured 'Hey, a CD player, headphones and mini-speakers, not too bad'. Well, turns out I was only half right. While the CD players works fine, it tends to skip a lot. My other CD player had an anti-skip protector, which protected it from the biggest of hits. I could punch it and it wouldn't skip. This one, I tap it and it skips. Although not a major detail, it can become a minor nuisance if your one for listening to music while you walk or jog. Secondly, the mini-speakers. The sound quality is fairly good for speakers of that size, although it sounds a bit tinny at times and you can lose some of the song because you can't hear it. If you turn the volume up, though, it sounds fine. It's loud enough to hear, but doesn't get loud enough to disturb others. They're good for a place where you can't use a stereo system, can't wear headphones, or don't want to wear headphones.

Speaking of the headphones, they have excellent sound quality and I only have one complaint. They rattle a lot when you pick them up. A very minor detail and doesn't affect listening at all. Just something I noticed.

This package is great for the price, but don't buy it if you're going to use it for activities. Unless you wanna hold it in your hand. In that case, be my guest. Also, the mini-speakers are a nifty little item, but as of now, I can't think of a good purpose for them aside from using them while you shower.

Final Review:
Pros-
Great price for the package
Includes all you need to get started
Mini-speakers are a novel idea
Headphones included

Cons-
Tends to skip a lot with the leat bit of touching
Mini-speakers don't have the best sound quality available
Headphones rattle when touched (Minor detail)

Grade - B-

Summary: It ruined my 11 yr. old Niece's Birthday
Review: I had the system shipped to my niece because I wasn't sure if I could make it to her party. I did make it to the party only to find out that gift I had sent her was broken! It played..which I suppose is important...but none of the other functions worked. It wouldn't rewind, or fast forward or even stop! The only thing I could do is play and eject. Talk about a bummer. I will never buy an electronic device from Target.com again. And to top it off, I couldn't return it to Target I have to pay to ship it back and then the Target gods will decide whether or not to send me a refund. I guess I have learned my lesson. If it seems like too good of a deal, it probably is. Always be cautious when they are offering free shipping...maybe they are just trying to get rid of them and hoping people will be too lazy to jump through the hoops to return them when they are broken!!!

Summary: You Get What You Pay For
Review: I live for music, day in and day out. I bought this product on base because I did not want to spend over $20 and by the end of that day I wish I had spent more on something else. You can barely walk with this item, it skips very easily. I tried it in my backpack, but the motion of my walk was just too much, I ended up having to walk to where I was going with the device in my hand. The volume does not get loud enough with the headsets and if you are using the mini-speakers, make sure there is absolutely no other noise in the room and keep your windows closed, because you can barely hear it. It's worth the price however, and if you are just lying in your bed or sitting on a train or bus, this is good.

Summary: This is a great little product!
Review: I love music. I play a few instruments and sing. So I like to be able to listen to CDs just about anywhere and anytime I can. I didn't want to spend much on this purchase so I decided to try this Coby player. It feels very nice and looks rather snazzy. The earphones are comfortable and produce a great sound as do the extra earbuds that come with it. There is an extra bass-boost button that adds full resonance to the sound. And you even get small speakers. What a deal for the money! No, it doesn't have lots of fancy features but it has all I ever really use, and the buttons are easy to see and easy to use. I definitely recommend this set.

Summary: Nice price, good performance
Review: I've had these in the past, they're very good in relation to the price. Easily comparable to a Sony in audio quality, and a lot tougher if you're the butterfingers type like yours truly *blush* I've dropped a Sony once and had it shatter, while this brand is good for a couple dozen drops. It's pretty light on the battery use compared to other brands too, and the extra speakers are great for using it on the bathroom counter while you shower, or if your main PC speakers blow out; just plug into the CD reader's headphone jack and listen up.
