Summary: Personal CD player (Koss CDP1740A) By Sanjay Schrapel
Review: This is the best CD player I have used. Before I bought this, I had a Nichei CD player with no anti-shock and very flimsy construction (I returned it for a full refund...This is an excellent little player with all the features I like (the random feature is my favourite.) It gives crystal clear sound, feels very well constructed and comes in a wicked blue-green transparent colour. My minor quibbles are: 1. It eats batteries like mad (2 Energizers in 3 hours.)
2. The headphones that come with it are the most flimsy ever (although they give outstanding sound quality)
3. It was relatively expensive
4. The Anti Shock gets emptied every time you pause (but I like the anti-shock meter on the LCD) These quibbles are what caused me to give this product 4 stars instead of 5, but for the price, I at least got a 12-month warranty (not 3 months like you Americans.) I must comment on the Anti shock, it is excellent, when on the CD player doesn't miss a beat (When it is off though, it skips like crazy.) Overall, an outstanding and excellent CD player. I would strongly recommend it to anyone. I haven't had it for long, though, so I will just have to wait and see how long it lasts. Thanks for reading this review; I hope it helps you with your purchase.

Summary: An OK player that has some flaws...
Review: I bought this player a long time ago; it served me well but there were a few noticable flaws. Cheap headphones broke rather too soon. The most frastrating, however, is trying to forward the tracks (FF button activates programming mode) and turn the player off without taking the CD out (double cliking the stop button turns the player off about one it ten attempts). The batteries also are used up rather quickly. If you use it sparingly, it will do, but if you are a hardcore music lover - settle for something more expensive.

Summary: Terrible
Review: Wow, I see since I bought this unit there have been lots of people with the same troubles I had. I will simply add to the chorus of voices who have said: 1) Eats batteries like mad.
2) Within about a month of buying the unit the buttons stopped working properly. The reverse button advanced tracks, stop would often switch modes, etc. ABSOLUTELY FRUSTRATING
3) The anti-skip protection did not work very well. I got nothign like 40 seconds out of the skip protection and this is just holding the unit flat while walking at a moderate pace. I was extremely dissapointed with this player. Mine finally just stoppped working one day...

Summary: Good, But Missing Features
Review: This CD player has a great weight and feel to it, and it look awsome to. It plays CD's super and has a very crisp sound. I got this to replace my Sony Discman, and with the replacement, There are some missing features that are hard to live without. This CD Player doesnt have a "resume" function that allows you to pick up off the place on the CD where you left off, and the biggest missing feature is a Battery Indicator, so you have absolutly no idea what condition your batteries are in. I will now be forced to take an extra pair of batteries with me wherever I go in case they go dead on me. But overall, its worth the money, and a good CD player! You can always trust Koss

Summary: Easy and fun to use
Review: I bought this cd player about 8 months ago, and I've never looked back. Great sound, easy to use. It's pretty good at not skipping even when the anti-skip is turned off. Sure I've dropped it a few times, accidentally - no problems caused by that at all. The only problem I have with it is that lately when I hit the button to try to get to the next track, instead of advancing, each press of the button cycles through the modes! I figure it's because the "mode" button is right next to it, and I use it A LOT. However, I plan to replace it with the same CD player because I love it so! If you're going to buy a CD player - make it this one!

Summary: Very Dissapointed
Review: I bought this CD player for its great price, excellent looks, and its numerous features. I read poor reviews, and dismissed them as rare occurences. I was soooo wrong...When it arrived, it would play for a little while, and then suddenly turn off. Then, the buttons stopped working. I had [...] replace it, and guess what? AFTER 2 WEEKS, THE SECOND ONE BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS TOO! The buttons are all messed up--the stop button skips the track and the skip buttons do random things, and because of this it's almost impossible to turn off. The return period had expired, but it was still covered by Koss Electronics' 90 day warranty. However, I needed a copy of the invoice, AND [...]. So now I'm stuck with it, at least it can just play. The good thing, though, is that this CD player has EXCELLENT sound, and probably the best I have ever heard. I also like the design.

Summary: Cool looks, doesnt work tho...
Review: I bought this same CD player a couple of years ago but I found out that was a big mistake. It started out working really well, and i thought all the negative reviews were wrong. Then after about a week the headphones just snapped as i went to put them on... That's not too big a deal cuz I had others, but about a week later all the buttons got messed up. For example the FF RW buttons switched jobs and so did others. It was really confusing and made it impossible to do anything other than just let the CD play, altho it somehow got put in a random order and the thing to stop that broke. A couple days later, the thing just quit. I tried new batteries but they didnt help. I never dropped it or anything... If u can cough up 15 more dollars buy the cool Cd, CD-R, CD-RW, mp3 thing the have on the site.

Summary: POS
Review: Its a POS! It broke the 1st week I had it then I returned it and the 2nd one the headphones broke and you can only hear out of one side. I put a new pair on it and it worked but now you can't hear anything! Ive only had it about a year!

Summary: Great . . . for the short time it lasted
Review: When I first bought this CD player, it was great. The sound and headphones were excellent and it was really cool looking. It was great for a few months, then it started to just turn off in the middle of playing a CD. To get it to work again, I had to hit it really hard, cause all the buttons stopped working! So as you can see this CD player is not worth the money. If you want a CD player that lasts a few months, this is the one for you. If you want a quality CD player, go with a Panasonic or a Sony.
