Not only is this a great CD player with good bass options, but the radio tuner is also top of the line. It isn't difficult to figure out, and it plays any type of CD. The lock button was the only thing that took me a minute to find, but it is on the bottom left of the player. Other than that, I am MORE than satisfied with this player.

Don't let that one review ruin it for you, she just got a dud. I doubt that will happen if you buy it. Once again, it is worth every penny.

After about 6 months of great performance, this "joggable" is gone. Skip, skip, skip. I'm back to the old cassette player until I try another "sport friendly" cd player. I've been loyal to Aiwa from past experiences. However, it's time for another brand.

Everybody is cautious about spending [money] on such a small machine! But this is truly worth the money! I read all of these reviews and many of the complaints aren't true in my case. I owned a piece of junk CD player before and I wanted a durable, well-sounding Portable CD player this time. The sound quality and EASS system in this are the best I have ever heard. I'm comparing this to a Panasonic and Lenox. The radio is great and picked up all my favorite stations! It's an easy to work machine too and great for people who are clueless when it comes to working machines like me! Trust me, I know there are a lot of choices out there, but this is the best I have ever owned!

My girlfriend and I both bought a "joggable" cd player that we could use while running. She bought the AIWA and I got a Panasonic (my third). It turns out that my Panasonic skipped when I used the belt clip and it only played when I held it in my hand. I gave the Aiwa a try and I was very impressed. Using a CD player sports pouch, I never experienced any skipping. Even while holding it the grip is very sturdy, the Panasonic felt like it could slip from my hand. I really like the control buttons, the rubber feel, size, and placement is perfect. They are easy to find when I reach into the pouch to adjust volume or change stations/music.
I returned the panasonic to Best Buy (they have a great replacement plan) and bought the AIWA. At first the style of headphones was a bit awkward and I considered replacing with a more familiar type. I'm glad that I did't though because once I compared sound quality I was hooked. These headphones are perfectly matched for this player, I get the impression that some thinking actually went into the quality of headphones that should be included.
There are many other features that are included and are explained in other reviews here. I wish I had read these reviews prior to making any purchase.

I wasn't so impressed with this player until I used THEIR earphones. Some of the best for this type of equipment. If the player lasts longer than the Sony players I've had (the amplifier chip fried), I'm completely satisfied.
