A great "off-brand" product for the price. Probably not designed for active endeavors...but for walking or sitting it works great. All the functionallity of the brand names without the price tag.

The item quit working after about a week of use. It just simply quit playing CDs altogether. I procrastinated and waited longer than 30 days to seek a refund, now I'm stuck with sending it back to the manufacturer. They require a $6 shipping/handling fee, which is too much considering the cost of the item. I'll just trash it and buy a Sony, which I should have done in the first place.

Bought two of these and both stopped working in a very short time. Didn't bother to send back, just threw them both in the garbage. I would definitely look for something else.

has way exceeded all expectations! this is an awesome sounding little player. easy to use, has a great big sound, great bass and no skipping, and thats a plus as i use it alot waiting at doc offices and other appointments. the only con to this is, it seems that the batteries dont last so long. however with the battery compartment outside the player it is really easy to replace the batteries. no need to open the player and remove the disc to reload batteries. I love it! thanks!

I bought it for my sister to play CD's and MP3's. She and bro in law aren't all that computer saavy, so this appeared easier than MP3 hard drive and having to download off computer. I actually hadn't used one like this before, so had to learn myself. We put in MP3 disc and it started to play, no problem. Skipped ahead and back when asked to do so. I didn't check all features in short space of time, but basic features worked great. I have a Creative Muvo Slim which is a better way to go for computer saavy, but this unit is good introduction to format.
