Summary: Good CD player for the money.
Review: Great sound and clarity. The anti-skip protection works great. I shook it up quite a bit as a test. The only drawback is the headphones. They fit awkwardly and are kinda cheap, but for the price it is hard to beat this CD player.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great CD player *BUT*.....
Review: I give this 3 stars due to the fact of the players inability to play CDRs... For those of you who don't record your own music on cds, this player is great.. For those of us who love making compilation albums or back-up their original disks, I would suggest you purchase another player...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great price, great performance, and cool head phones...
Review: I wish I bought from amazon to save $10, but I still think the price I paid was worth it. The great feature on this item is the volume adjustment on the head phone wire; this is great for the jogger, because I don't have to search for the volume control on the player. I like the fact that the head phones are weightless, because I tried others that were heavy and would fall off while jogging. The included adapter for cassette players is a bonus. The sound quality is perfect, and it was important for me to have the 40 second shock protection. With the package deal, the features, and cool style, this will satisfy your needs for a portable CD player.

Summary: Buy this if you feel like wasting $45
Review: It looks pretty good for [the price] but there is more than what meets the eye. Let's start with the good qualities: 40 second anti-shock, bass-boost system, nice design, durable, one year warrany. Now the downsides: The anti-shock needs to build up for 40 seconds at the beginning of every track or each time you return from pause, so therefore if, say, you're jogging with your CD player, you need to wait 40 seconds so the anti-shock can build up, otherwise the bouncing will wear it off while it builds up. The bass-boost makes barely any difference. All it does is increase the volume VERY slightly. After a while, you sometimes need to press the buttons a few times before they actualy respond. The "open" button is very easy to accidently pressand the hold button doesn't stop it. If you drop it while listening to a CD, that part will always screw-up unless you have anti-shock active (The CD will still play fine in any other device, CD player or boombox). And the most annoying part yet (at least it happened to me this way): Last week I put in a CD and tried playing it and I noticed my right headphone wasn't working. I tried using a different set of headphones and the car kit too but it was still screwed. Though I found out that if I put the headphone jack half-way in, I can hear with both ears but only the left ear's part. So say I listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, which has a lot of stereo effects, I hear the left ear part in both ears and the right ear part is missing. REALLY ANNOYING!!! Oh yeah, and all this happened just after my warranty expired. AAAHHH!!! So since durability and nice design don't really count if the thing sucks, the bottom line is buy this if you think [theprice] is worth it for a slightly under average CD player that's good for a year.

Summary: Awesome player Headphones need improvment!
Review: The player is awesome. The guality is great and the color isnice. The only bad part is the headphones, they're uncomftorable andthe color SUX. I think u should get this player if u already have headphones or are willing to pay more for an extra set of headphones.

ESP is AWESOME! Never SKIPS

Summary: good value
Review: These are some harsh reviews I'm reading. I personally owned this CD player and am coming back for another. My last player lasted two years of constant use, dropping, crushing, occasional tossing you name it. The controls are simple, I can use it in the dark half asleep. The sound quality is fine with descent headphones. It's nothing fancy but under normal use the anti-skip is more than adequate. It DOES play all the CD-R's that I've encountered. The bass boost DOES work noticeably. I will however admit that the included headphones are of typical "street style" quality in terms of sound and brittle plastic construction. The inline volume adjust is too sensitive, a brush against your arm could cause the music to stop entirely or blast unexpectedly. Also after a few weeks it (the headset) started crackling. If you care at all about a pure sound you never would have put on the stock set on, there isn't a good set to be found on any player. It does not play MP3's but I've heard that most MP3's are of poor quality anyway. If you want luxury features or a status symbol you will be disappointed. If you want a simple reliable player that wont skip then you've found it.
