This product has a reasonably good sound quality and a few features that are useful such as the jogproof design. However the main problem (and my reason for this review) is with the battery power. When i first started to use the cd player the batteries only lasted for about a day and that was it. It would play about two average length albums before running out of power. I tried different batteries but the result was the same: it eats the battery power very quickly. A year later it gets worse. The batteries now last about 25 minutes. I used to have a cassette walkman about ten years ago and the batteries would last for several hours. Your best bet if you were to buy this product, is to purchase a battery charger and a huge stack of rechargable batteries. Then buy a large bag to carry them all in because you'll be changing the batteries several times on your journey.

I too had this player and found that although it had good features the better being that the jog proof was great, I left the sterio for about two months without using it and it just did not work when I later tried to use it. I also found that batteries did not last long.
