Summary: Great but delicate.
Review: The sound and G-Protection on this cd player are amazing. i shook it hard for a full FORTY SECONDS and it didn't skip. however, i dropped it two or three times, and it broke. the peice of plastic that holds the laser on the track cracked, so it wasn't directly parallel with the cdanymore and it wouldn't play. however, if you keep it in a padded case, it should be fine.

Review: This product rocks. The built-in rechargeable battery feature is cool because I hate buying new batteries all the time for these things.The sound is great, it never skips when I'm working out or in my car. The accessories are of high quality, as is the unit itself. It's very intuitive/easy to use. I can't give it five stars because I haven't had it long enough, and besides, these portable gadgets are never perfect, but, this comes close so far.

Review: What is the life expectancy of molded plastic electronics in the concrete jungle? Two to three years if you are lucky and very careful I would guess. This particular unit is a a poor mans mobile unit that takes lots of abuse not to mention the regular shock that the patented G Force was made to withstand. I took this unit on many a Baja road that is like the surface of the moon and the thing never skipped a beat. Like the Timex watch it takes a lickin and keeps tickin, I mean playin. This is like the energizer of portables and has more lives than the proverbial cat. I have dropped my unit over the years numerous times on the concrete only to rattle it and find it continues playing; except the last. Finally after three plus years it was demoted to car duty only since it doesn't play as a portable anymore because of too many bumps and bruises. The thing is a marvel of abused electronics, it glows bright red in the dark as if daring you to make it stop. The chargeable batteries are an additional bonus and simple and quick to charge up. As usual the phones are average to mediocre at best but all the other stuff works fine.I recently had a problem with the cassette insert for the car but I'm inclined to believe it is the car deck itself rather than the portable. The remote is unnnessary unless you are a complete lazetron who needs a gadget in his hand at all times. I tried making use of the remote but felt it was a frivolous novelty and not very practical. This is the destructo of portables. With an upgrade in phones it was sweet music to my ears before it was 'broken."A very good unit to have when you are on the run for all your physical activities and you won't skip a beat.
