Summary: Not thrilled with it
Review: I bought this CD player for my daughter for her birthday. Within the first week the headphones broke and I had to crazy glue it back together!!!! Even so, she still uses it all the time. The sound is good for the price, and it looks cool!!!! That's whats important when you're twelve!!!!!!!

Summary: ..., nice, troublesome
Review: I chose this CD player because of its great prize but.. It can not be stopped playing now! A STOP button thinks it is "move back" and FF button works as "modes". More, it eat batteries quickly, eg Philips LongLife in 2 hours. And don't try jogging with it.. Nevertheless, its design is so cool.

Summary: fun...while it lasted
Review: Admittedly, I only bought this player because it was purple, but I am still sorely dissapointed in it's performance. I started having minor problems with it after about six months of moderate use. The sound quality has been degrading steadily, and as of today, the player is completely unusable. It skips every couple of seconds, even with a new disc on a flat, still surface. The anti-skip function actually makes it worse! It has been less than a year since the date of purchase. Still, it is awfully cute. And for a few weeks there, I was reccomending it to everyone. If you aren't in it for the long haul, go ahead and buy this. If you want something more durable, keep shopping.

Summary: It's [garbage].
Review: Do not waste your money on this filth. Spend fifteen bucks more on a Philips AX501317. Philips is a better, more reliable brand-name anyway. In -my- tests, this hunk of [garbage] did -not- provide adequate skip-protection, and sucked the life from batteries which were supposed to last a good twelve hours. It will also not stand up to much punishment. I dropped mine a few times from various heights, and while other (in some cases -cheaper-) players I have owned have perservered, this worthless monstrosity suffered each time. Buttons became unreliable and took the function of -other- buttons, the case became fractured, etc. In all, poor design, poor materials, and sub-standard performance. Since mine still functions (in that most of the time it can decode the digital information encoded on compact-discs adequately, and there is nothing wrong with the audio-port), I am attaching a note detailing exactly what is wrong with it, and giving it to Good Will, instead of just taking a sledge-hammer to it.

Summary: Worked great until...
Review: After reading god knows how many reviews, I decided on this one. Got it promptly when Amazon/UPS said I would, opened it, played it, purposly droped in on the box it was shipped in, and kept on playin' without a skip!! But while just listening to it in the garage it just quit, nothing, changed the batteries, nothing, used the adaptor...nothing. I'm hoping when I return it for a replacement that it won't quit on me again!!

Summary: poor quality cd player
Review: Used this item in my car (briefly). It stopped working after falling from my seat to the floor. I would recommend a more robust cd player, especially if you plan on travelling with it.

Summary: Manufacturing Defect
Review: I purchased this cd player and when I received it I had to send it back to Koss for repair. It would play for about a minute and a half and then just shut down. Several years ago this also happened with a pair of Koss headphones I bought. I am curious to see how long this repair process will take. Seems like Koss needs to improve their quality control. I do think I would have liked this product if it had worked.

Summary: Ok unless you want it over 6 months
Review: I got this cd player for my birthday and i loved it. it looked really cool. i put my cd in and clicked on the anti skip button and it was pretty good. it skipped a little bit but not enough to be disappointed in. i did a lot of things with this cd player. i mowed with it and took it every where i went. But the first problem was that it ate up the batteries pretty quick. so if i wanted to take it somewhere i would have to take extra batteries. and also it didnt tell you how much power is left in my batteries until they totally run out. also when i mowed it would constantly skip and would really get annoying. and then after about 6 months of having it, it just stopped working. i was very mad. we had to throw it away. so if you enjoy buying a new cd player every 6 months you should get this one.

Summary: not worth the trouble
Review: I was pleased with this Koss cd player until it inexplicably stopped working. I was even pleased with the replacement I got from Target when the first one broke. After the second one inexplicably stopped working, Koss offered to replace it for a fee which was more than what I paid for it, and shipping was on me. Don't waste your time or money on such a crappy disc player, get a decent one.

Summary: An UNBIASED, TRUTHFUL review -- must read!!
Review: I ordered this player, read other customer reviews (true, I should have done those first), and became scared. I then waited anxiously for it to arrive, dreading the moment I would have to send it back because a) it wouldn't work, b) it ruined some CDs, c) the headphones snapped, d) all of these. Well, I received it a couple days ago, and I must say, I am VERY pleased. Read on ... 1) The sound is one of the most crisp, most clear of all the discmans I've owned. (And I've had two Sonys and a Memorex.) Considering the price, the sound is excellent! 2) True, the plastic headphones are brittle and flimsy, but they haven't cracked, and it's not as though they're overly strained just sitting on my head. 3) I've played both commercial CDs and my own CD-Rs in it, and they did just that ... played. No problem at all. Considering the quantity of CD-Rs I own (it's up in the triple digits), I wouldn't keep it if I thought it'd ruin them. 4) This little monster's main fault is that it gobbles up batteries. So far, Energizer e-squared AA's have worked the best, around 3+ hours. 5) The door does not easily snap off (I don't know how one would get it off except to pull it backwards manually). Nor does it open while playing CDs; it's just as sturdy as any other. Over all, considering the price, this is a GREAT buy. The green Koss is a safe, sound buy, unless you plan on toying with the headphones or pulling at the door while listening to a CD. It's the blue Koss that has so many flaws. (Look at its customer reviews; I wrote one about it, too.) If you really want a discman that you can take jogging and that will last you for years to come, buy a Sony. Both of mine have yet to break down (one is at least 10 years old), but I thought this little one would be nice for summer. This green Koss, however, is an excellent, durable buy, and it won't put a hole in your pocket. (And it's always returnable if you have serious problems with it ...)
