Summary: Broke!
Review: After using it for 3 days, the battery exploded! I had done nothing but left it there, no cords were attached, the batteries were brand new. After discovering about that, I tried to play it, all I got was a hold message and it wasn't on hold. The book said it was electrostatic discharge but I followed the directions and it still said hold. I have returned this for a refund, hopefully this will not be the problem others are experiencing. When I it worked though, it worked fine.

Summary: Product never worked, but AMAZOM is still the BEST!
Review: I bought this CD player as a gift for my son, It never worked properly. I thought I was out of luck since the 30 day return guarantee was more like 90 days when the problem was discovered. I thought I'd give it a shot and contact customer service and low and behold, they said go ahead send it back for a full refund
AMAZOM has a loyal customer here as I've bought about a dozen things that work great and as expected

Summary: *Worked okay for 8 months ONLY
Review: I bought this player in Jan'01. My only complaints upon receiving it was, the sound and the in-ear BUD headphones. The sound is never loud even when it's turned to the maximum level, no matter what headphones you use. The headphones hurt my ears and died in June. Then, recently (August '01) I discovered that because the headphone jack moves, the sound goes in and out. BAD. For example--I have the CD player in my backpack, playing a CD and if the headphone plug moves, which it does, it interrupts the sound. At first I thought it was my headphones, but no its the machine. All in all I'm disappointed. Great look, handy handle loop, bad earphones, LOW SOUND, and wobbly headphone jack that kills sound. My advice, check out other machines first that is unless you like a machine that only works for 8 months.

Summary: VERY DISAPPOINTED
Review: I found this cd player to be a piece of junk. Within four months, the headphones had broken and the player itself was malfunctioning. Overall, I no longer trust Philips and will never buy from this brand again.

Review: I got this cd player and it was love at first listen! The first thing I noticed was how different in appearance it was compared to all the other cd players I have owned and I get compliments on it's style. I like the options and the sound from the preset bass boost levels. I also like the earbuds that come with it. In my opinion it brings the sound closer to the ear which makes it more clear and I find I don't have to turn up the volume as much as a result. I would reccomend this to anyone!

Summary: It is okay.
Review: I owned this CD player and it was the best i ever had except the headphones are really cheap.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another great Philips product
Review: I was very satisfied with this player from day one. The fairly low price and quality is comperable to the high priced & more well known portables. The neoprene pouch is a great idea. All sport models should come with one, standard.

Summary: Stopped working after 1 year
Review: I've had this CD player for a year sitting on my desk in my office when it suddently stopped working. The player now skids even without any shaking or movement and it is impossible to hear a track properly. I tried changing CDs but to no advantage. I suspect that it is poorly built and I am currently looking for a replacement. I will try with a SONY. It worked nicely before but the short life-span makes it a big no no.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: At Amazon Price Good Value for money.
Review: Pros:As the title goes,Carrying pouch,Bass Extension,Sound stage,Power save feature,ruggedness,even at brisk walking does not skip with the ESP off.

Cons:Controls not easily accessable while in carrying case.Being a sport's model the head phone comfort level is unsatisfactory.

Conclusion: Baiscally at this price I persume one can tolerate a bit of inconvience as to the player but the headphones do need to be replaced or upgraded.
