Summary: Just the headphones are worth the price
Review: Despite the single-star review at this site, I risked the Koss because I knew that I'd get great quality portable headphones which wouldn't hurt my head or ears. I was not disappointed! I'm quite pleased with the rest of the system too: I've tapped and turned the player around to the rhythm of hard rock, and it didn't skip. If you plan to use it while engaging in very active sports it might eventually skip a bit, but for normal use it's a *fabulous* buy.

Summary: cheaply made
Review: doesn't skip after the first few seconds, but be careful, mine broke after a few weeks.... and i didn't do anything out of the norm to it

Summary: It's got a few bugs for Koss to iron out.
Review: For one thing, the buttons are so small that it's almost impossible to hit the right one after dark. Second, the Anti-skip eats the batteries real quick. And the player will beep only when there's just five or six minutes left in the batteries. Not cool. And to make things worse, the one I bought lasted only two months before it wouldn't play anything. One thing that really works well is the skip protection. Even "washboard" dirt roads couldn't make it jump around while playing. And with Koss TD-60 headphones, the extra bass was really something else. Still could have used more, though. My feeling is that it's too little for too much. The next one I buy will be a Sony.

Summary: Koss portable cd player
Review: I basically have this same model listed except mine only has 10 seconds of anti-skip I was hoping to find some info on my particular model but I think from the information listed I can believe that my model is just as good. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has information pertaining to my model of cd player thanks.

Review: I bought a KOSS-1689,for about 55.00... Skips very easily,anti-skip eats batteries. Sounds Great! When it works.. Also-any Cd's that you make yourself--- will not play them!////Guess what? 12 month warranty./// Mine just "died" after 12 months and 1 week.. Anybody from KOSS care to respond? And, no there is no extended warranty on this kind of player.Plus an extended warranty costs too much anyway.I will be purchasing a Memorex to replace this one.

Summary: Cheaply made, FRAGILE!
Review: I bought this CD player a while back, hoping it would solve my problems... I was using a 1989... YES, 1989 SONY discman until now... no antiskip of course, which is why i bought the koss. The first thing to go was the battery door, would not lock. The headphones I must admit were pretty decent, but my ears hurt after 20 minutes or so... i'm an inner-ear headphone person. The cassette adapter was kind of quiet, with poor stereo seperation. The headphone jack developed a bad contact, so I found myself using the UNAMPLIFIED line-out jack. I finally realized this player was on its' way out... so I managed to trade a SONY DISCMAN (1994) with car kit for it, with a friend of mine. A month later, the KOSS broke (LCD cracked)... and NOW, 5 months after (not to mention 5 years)... the SONY works perfectly still! He regrets trading with me. I recommend you go spend an extra 20 dollars and get a nice SONY Discman! KOSS should stick to headphones! I am not an abusive person, my stuff usually lasts VERY long... this player isn't designed for the real world... much too fragile!

Summary: It is a great cd player for the money.
Review: I bought this cd player as my first portable. For 50 bucks it sure works great. The headphones seem a little dinky but they sound great. It miss's a viewing window for the cd though. The stuff it comes with is pretty awsome too.
