Summary: excellent value
Review: This is an excellent product. Compact in size and easy to use. The anti-skip feature works great. I used it on an airplane with no problems--it was a lot better than the airlines sound system (even in first class). The price is so reasonable, it would make a good gift, even for a child or teenager who might be a little hard on it or even lose it. No need to spend more $.

Summary: Overall: Great Deal / Tested: Jogging / Power: Minus
Review: This is my first portable CD Player - so I can not compare to different models. Bought the KOSS mainly because of the excellent customer reviews. I need the CD Player for street/park running, so the Anti-Skip is essential to me.---OVERALL---Excellent sound (switch the bass extension ON!), even with the included headphones. The headphones fits well and are light enough for running. The price is excellent, but if you add ... UPS shipping it's getting closer to other models on the market. The design is VERY cool, the functionality is good. ---ANTI-SKIP---Always let the KOSS load his memory first, which takes about 30-40 sec after the anti-skip is switched on. While runnig, if the CD Player stays in HORIZONTAL position (like I am using it in the car), there is nearly no skipping at all. This is not only related to the Anti-Skip memory, but also to the new Plus Anti-Rolling System. VERTICAL, it looks different. While running, as soon as I forgot to hold my CD Player like a full plate, it starts skipping. But I guess NO portable CD can do better. So, it works for running, but if you want free hands, you will probably use tape or MP3 (even clipping on the belt does NOT work.) ---POWER CONSUMPTION---Used 3/4 volume, Anti-Skip always on, bass extension always on: My batteries died after 1 1/2 hour! This could be better! So, ok, if the device eats power, fine with me - BUT there is NO indication of the actual condition of the batteries. And this is not good, since I don't want to carry a second set of batteries, if I go for running. The battery low indicator switch's on maybe 20 seconds before the batteries are dead. This does not make sense to me. For jogging, the HOLD switch is a VERY useful feature. ---CAR ADAPTER KIT--- Perfect - It works just great. If you don't get a clear signal, try to use the line output instead of the headphone output. During driving, there is no skipping at all (Anti-Skip "on" AND the player in horizontal position).So, overall, this device is a great deal. I give 4 stars only because of the missing ACTUAL power indication. No deduction for the Anti-Skip in vertical position, since no CD Player will overcome this problem as of today. If you need something for cross-country running or heavy mountain biking - go with the good old cassette player!

Summary: Koss provides a cheap answer to the expensive question!
Review: This is one of Koss' greatest products. I would rate this cheap (moneywise) portable CD player above others. If you are looking for a portable CD player buy this one. Rarely would I ever say go for the cheap one but in this case I am! I just bought this portable player. Its absolutely perfect! Everybody's wish come true. It looks cool. It's STYLISH and somewhat cute. The buttons are put in the place they pretty much need to be and it should cost more that it does. But I'm not complaining! It's very easy to use... for anybody. It's able to go anywhere and not a burden. Oh yeah, the also come with headsets and it sounds GREAT. When your walking it dosen't skip. The anti-skip thing is not perfect but is good. Especially for the price. Just don't sake it because if you sake any portable player it will skip. SO just use it normally. Koss especially on Amazon.com has a great value, so if your trying to make a choice on portable CD players I hope you choose this one, for more reasons then one as I have explained. The Koss player has features that I wouldn't expect from something that costs so little. Koss is good, but this is great. I am familiar with alot of the products that Koss puts out there and this is definatley the best or even better thing that they have put out. If you buy it get it with batteries and you might want to get a holder. But don't just buy any holder... make sure that it fits exactly so it's not a waste of time and money. I definatley recommend the EXACT FIT holder and four AA batteries. Two to start with and then the other two when you need it. Also, this portable player does not waste battery power. I guarantee you'll get alot of life with just the first two batteries. I have. So buy this from Amazon.com cheap and get some batteries and possibly a holder that fits. Oh yeah, and CD's. And a CD holder. I promise you'll get a BANG for your buck.

Summary: totally awsome!
Review: this is such a great cd player. a big difference from what i had before. it looks awsome and the sound is beautiful! it won't skip at all if you've got the antiskip on. my brother shook it up and down as much as he possibly could. it didn't miss a note. it didn't even stop. i was like COOL! anyway, since it includes the car pack, it's a great deal! you gotta buy it! the headphones aren't great. i mean, i've had better. i'll probably use my old ones. but otherwise it's a great buy. go get it!

Summary: Great player
Review: This player is excellent. it never skips, you can program tracks, and put it in random play (which is great because i hate listening to songs in the order they appear on the cd) and it loks great too! and for all it does it is very reasonably priced. Koss is a wonderful brand and if you are looking for a great portable cd player for your money, this is the one to get.

Summary: It's GGGGGGRREEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT
Review: This thing is great. It even comes with a car adapter...the antiskip works. I had the thing for 2 hours and already love it. The only Problem is that the door slams shut pretty hard when you close it.
