While it doesn't get as loud as I would have liked, the sound at lower volumes was good and pretty clear. I put in 6 fresh batteries (Energizer) and after 4 hours of CD playing and 4 hours of the radio, the batteries were still going strong. I took it to the beach with me and it worked perfectly when playing CDs and the radio.
The CDs tended to skip with minor movement of the player. If you're looking for something small, lightweight, and just enough sound for a small room, bedroom, or the beach or something, then this should work fine. It runs on AC, which has a decent length of cord, or 6 size C batteries.
This little machine only cost me about $25, so it did just what I expected it would do for that price. Also, when playing CDs, the player was kind of sensitive.
I got good reception from the stations. However, when on maximum volume, the sound was kind of muddy.
Truly a treat. The excuse is our location exactly half-way between New York and Philadelphia and the struggle over signals. I needed a portable CD player. We suffer here trying to get other than local stations. The problem seems to be solved. It is just fine, especially when I am working in the garden. But, my real delight is the radio which picks up NPR perfectly.
I felt totally ripped off. I had to return it and it cost me almost as much to return the player as the player cost. Amazon's return postage is not sufficient to cover the new higher postage costs or UPS. I really wanted this item badly - has great size, design is good, etc. but it did not play any CD that I inserted in it.
I cleaned the cd player but that didn't help. It was okay but the cd player stopped working after about 6 months.
I bought it for the portable vertical cd player since space is an issue.(I listen to books on cd and cannot wear a portable device where I work) and there weren't many choices available so I went for the 'name brand' I got screwed. After 5 days the speakers were shot. A total waste of money and time. Do not waste your money on this. Within only 3 days the cd player no longer worked.
