Summary: K oss cd player
Review: I think this cd player was great; even though I'm 10 years old, I can have an opinion. When I first got it my mom and I went for a test drive in our car. It only skipped once on the biggest bump, but besides that, it was awesome! Its bass boost has a super quality and has all the gadgets you can think of in a CD player. I highly recommended this product. It is better than my brother's SONY and his cost more! :)

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I just got this CD player today and I must say, it's prettygood. The 40 sec Anti-Shock works like a charm. The features(Hold,20 track Programable, etc.) are common for most CD players but there one thing going in this one's favor, it's relatively cheap...not that bad of a deal. In fact I got this one and the CDP1740A(the blue one) and am quite happy with the purchase.

Summary: the color is the best thing about this portable cd player
Review: Skip protection does not work. I cannot wear it and walk on the treadmill at a brisk pace. The buttons do not work reliably either. I can push a button several times before the feature engages. This was a cute color, but performance wise, it's just another piece of junk.

Summary: Da Bomb
Review: Ofcoarse I've seen better but this is one of the best so far. With 40 sec protection, it will go along way without missin a beat. I would recomend to take this anywhere including a bus where it may be a little bumpy. Over-all, I'd rate this product a 9/10

Summary: Great product,Great sound,Great price!
Review: I've had mine for alittle while and it kicks ass! Never skips and sounds great. I would have gave this 5 stars but the headphones suck(sure they look good but suck). The one thing it needs is a battery indicator, But overall this best cd player out there for the price!

Summary: An expensive way to save money.
Review: It's cheap, true. The bad news is you're not saving money, you're wasting it. Don't buy this if you need shock protection - the "40 second skip protection" simply doesn't work, it jumps all over the place, because after one shock the alleged "shock protection" needs to build back up before it can take another mild bump. Okay, fair enough, maybe you wouldn't expect it to be too effective on a unit costing so little, but on mine even the buttons don't work properly. Press a button and it's pretty much a lottery what will happen. Press play and it might play, it might not, or it might just play one track in repeat mode. Press stop and it might stop, but it probably wont, press stop three times and it might. Press track skip or scan and you're opening a whole can of worms - virtually anything could result, except of course the one thing you want to happen. The headphones needless to say, are pathetic, and presumably all that "shock protection" and malfunctioning uses a lot of juice, because it goes through batteries like there's no tomorrow. This CD player is all the proof you'll ever need that you get what you pay for. Looks cool. Doesn't work. Don't buy.

Summary: turns out, it's unreliable
Review: I originally rated this 4 stars -- even bought 2 of the units. As it turns out, they break easily. With normal use they usually give out in 6 months or less -- skipping is the first sign, then the 'stop' button won't work. It looks great and has a simple interface -- too bad they only last for a few months. Think of it as a disposable unit and you'll be happy.

Summary: Good Sound, Good Price, A Bit Flimsy
Review: Ive had this cd player for about a week now, and i really like it. It sounds good and it had a low price tag. The shock protection is excellent (try leaving it on a table while a stuborn little brother does his work)and the 40 seconds are great to have in case your in a car (or bus) thats on a bumpy road. The only drawback is this, it is a little less durable than i'd like it to be. Koss should have hinged the lid instead of using the spring. But I know it wont come off when it is closed thanks to the open switch (it is really nice because it eliminates the chance of it opening in my pocket or book bag) But that makes little difference. The cd player and headphones are attractive and the entire design is well done. I applaud Koss for their work on this cd player.
