Summary: good stuff cheap
Review: I just got this Koss cd player in the mail, and it works as specified. It sounds good, everything seems to be working, and its definitely worth the price. You wont find a decent brand cd player with 40 sec AS and a car kit for this cheap anywhere. As far as aesthetics goes, it looks plain, which is how it should be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: perfect cd player for tiny price
Review: I just recieved my koss cd player yesterday. As soon as i plugged it in i liked it. The anti-skip works real well. If you need a cd player for the car or just for personal use this is the one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not enough of a CD player for the money
Review: it does skip a bunch which makes it difficult to listen to when not stationary

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: It's a great player, especially at this price! the 40 second buffer seems to be underestimated, as I shook, hit, and dropped this thing for a minute straight with no skipping. The previous bad review was probably based on jostling before the buffer is full, which is a problem on any anti-skip CD player. A great value, I highly recommend it!

Summary: Too good
Review: It's one of the best in that price range and gives you lots more for less. I didn't even put the anti-skip on and it still never skipped when I went for a walk. It s really a good discman. It was worth the money I spent. Good job, Koss.

It's only defect is that it doesn't look stylish.

Summary: Nice, but.........
Review: It's pretty nice and works really well, but it's a tad dorky looking

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A cheap & easy way to get a disc man!
Review: Its very light & flimsy which makes it kinda "cheap". But sound wise, its pretty good. Better if you change the head phones. The head phones first of all do not fit your ears properly & there are high pitches at high volumes. The anti-skip functions sucks the life out of your battery & therefore does not last very long. Overall, you can't complain - its cheap if you want a disc man!

Summary: Great Sound - Some Design Improvements Needed
Review: Nice looking, great sound, good headset, anti-skip works great. I walk everyday and this unit bounces inside my coat pocket or backpack without a skip. Sometimes I jog a little - still no problem.

However - the designers didn't use it like I do: It needs a belt clip - geez, pretty basic - or at least a carrier of some sort.

AND, the control button array is on top and I've found it will turn on if bumped when setting my backpack down. The result is a battery drain.

Finally, the headset plug goes into the side of the unit ruining the narrow width and sleek design. It won't slide into most pockets as a result. They should put the protruding plug along the front or back edge, not the widest, side edge.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good for casual use, good value, some audio defects
Review: Nice phones, car cassette adapter works great, anti-skip works well, good for the price. Not tops for critical listening, because there there is continuous audible electronic background schmutz in the phones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: high performance and cheap
Review: Operates flawlessly even during jolting activities like rollerblading. At first I thought it was skipping alot but as it turns out my wallet kept bouncing around in the fanny pack and hitting the 'skip memory' button on the front causing a one second drop out each time.
