Summary: Excelent for price . . .
Review: . . . it would be difficult to find a better portable CD player for the price. Other reviews have mentioned that the machine dies quickly and has low battery life. I have owned this CD player for two months and have only changed the batteries a few times (and I use it almost everyday). There are only a couple of minor quirks: 1) the headphones become distorted if you are listening to something with a lot of bass, even if the volume is low. However, if listening to something with an average amount of bass and treble, the headphone can take a lot more, but you can never have the volume at its max. 2) the car kit is only "ok". The one I received tends to distribute sound unevenly, that is, the music is louder in one set of speakers than the other. I'm assuming the kit has dirty heads because when I clean it it distributes sound a little more evenly, but not completely even, and you can often tell that the sound is leaning to one side. Outside of these two minor glitches, it great, and for the price, you can't find anything better.

Summary: Another One Bites the Dust!
Review: After 60 days of little use, this item is dead. Koss' website does not list this for return information. Still within warranty, but where to return?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Buyer Beware....
Review: Beware if you purchase this product....you'll need to purchase another one pretty soon! Koss products do not last. I have to say...this one has superior sound quality and does not drain the battery too quickly....that is if the anti-skip is off. I bought this discman about a year ago...and 3 or 4 months ago it started acting up.....will not fast forward or rewind correctly within a track....will not go to the track you want it to go to....will sometimes shut off for no apparent reason. Sure, it's a good price...but I recommend investing your money in something better....Sony, Panasonic, etc.

Summary: It looks cool and that's about it!
Review: Bought it. Played one CD then it broke.

Sent it back and got another 3 weeks later. I hope this one works.

Go Sony!

Summary: Both units dead within 30 minutes
Review: Bought two units. Both didn't even make it through an entire CD. Basically the output, both headphone and line, died after about 30 minutes. Both units died in mid-CD. Each was playing a different CD. Would not recommend this to anyone...

Summary: awesome cd player and spify color
Review: hey, i'm only 12, but i know plenty bout cd players. this is my first cd player, it kicks (in a good way), it plays CD-Rs which is pretty cool...cuz all the other ones that are this price dont. it hardly ever skips even on the biggest bUmPs on the road, and when on that rare occaision when it does, it skips for a second then plays again super smoothly. it has super handy buttons like 'hold', which u use when u have a 'press-a-random-button-happy' friend. the pause and resume button is awesome. u can program it so it wont play songs u dont wanna hear and it has a shuffle button if u dont wanna hear the all the songs in order. the best part is the clear blue lid (everyones fav, u cant hate blue, right?)the only bad thing is the head phones, which are fragile...i'm scared to brake them, so i dont use them. i think u should get a new pair, if u wanna get the cd player...which i totaly suggest. the price is low for its HIGH high quality. so...what are ya waiting for...HURRY UP AND GET IT!

Summary: Best CD player you can get for this price!
Review: I am a big music fan so I use my CD player everyday and I take it everywhere including joging, biking and anything else you can do on land. But the battery power on this thing is amazing usually I have to change the batteries evey other day but this went a week and a half without needing anything new! The anti-skip kicks too. My little cousin listened to it and dropped it repeatidly but it didn't miss a beat and it came back to me untarnished. It also comes with a car kit so you don't have to waste your batteries on those long drives which I appreciate very much. The hold button was new to me but it is so cool. I was on the bus a while ago and some annoying kid kept pressing buttons and he was so ticked that he couldn't do anything to it! I would reccomend this player to anyone who likes to listen to music everywhere all the time in any conditions! Oh yeah the price is awesome too!

Summary: Bad shipment?
Review: I bought it in early September. The anti-shock mechanism did not work properly, gave static most of the time. I exchanged it. The new one seemed to work well. After a week, it simply stopped working (changed batteries, plugged it to DC, etc..), nothing. Today, it is working again...I noticed that most of the negative feedback comes from people who bought in September and October, so I wonder if a whole lot may be deffective? Still have not decide what to do next. Would not recommend it.
