waste
(2 out of 5) by C. Hendricks on Apr 17, 2006 (Kingston, Jamaica)I do not normally buy electronic products that are not from older established brand names. but I was desparate to replace my five month old Panasonic SL-SX450 player which stopped working a week earlier (I use it for jogging).This model seemed quite affordable and was well recommended. Using a different headphone the Coby MP-CD521 has good sound quality but the battery life is terrible (4-5 hours on Duracell).In my car the anti-skip protection is a joke.This product may be useful in the homes of stationary people.It is definately NOT for active people.

Horrible.
(1 out of 5) by J. Adams on Dec 19, 2006 (Detroit, MI)This product is far by the worst CD player I've ever owned. It's takes a while for the songs to read on the CD and the songs will randomly stop while the eye tries to read the disc. At first I thought it was just my CD, but I changed it through 8 CD's and the same thing happened. The anti-skip is also terrible like stated above. I wouldn't recommend this cancerous CD player to anyone. The headphones are also VERY uncomfortable. Please don't waste your money.

Absolute junk
(1 out of 5) by musicfan on Mar 4, 2008This product is trash. The display did not work, and it skips tracks constantly. Colby also charges you 6 dollars to repair or replace their defective product. It's cheaply priced, but in the long run will cost you more money as you try to repair it. When the repair doesn't work, you'll end up spending more money on a better product.

You get what you pay for
(1 out of 5) by D. Taye on Jul 6, 2007 (Palo Alto, CA)Long time customer of Amazon since the 90s and never seen a product as disappointing as this. It skips, stops and totally unreliable. It is cheap in price and productivity. It is better to pay a bit more and get a better wav/mp3-player.

Wonderful Value
(5 out of 5) by E. Vinson on May 5, 2006 (Colorado Springs, CO, USA)This is a great little portable. I use it in my car and love it to death. The sound quality is great, and the 120-sec skip protection works perfectly, In fact, in the two days I have been driving around with it (and I drive a LOT), it hasn't skipped once.
Where else ya gonna find a portable CD/MP3 player for less than 25 bucks?! And a good one to boot! Thank you Amazon, that's why I love ya.
