Except for the Sony Walkman, this has been the best personal CD player I've used for listening to books while exercising or cleaning. The sound is good, it doesn't skip, and I'm mostly happy thus far. The Sony was less user friendly, because the batteries were located inside the player, so I had to remove the CD to get them out when needing a change. However, since I carry the player in a pack, having the components on the top of the player is more awkward than if they were on the side. At the same time, the device for opening the player to change CDs is on the side, and that's awkward and it doesn't open easily. Until CDs became semi-obsolete, the Sony Walkman was less than $50. This CD player is $70. I still purchased it, because I am addicted to books on CD.

At times I have difficulty getting the player to switch on. I can play one CD and need to replace the batteries.I will see how long the replacement batteries last. I ordered a AC/DC power supply and will use it as needed. I connected the player to a Bluetooth stereo at our office and it worked well.

Pros: Good quality. Sound is very good. Portable and actually does play CD-R/RW. Cons: #1 -Is not bluetooth enabled. #2 -It is AC adaptable (adaptor not included) and I have not been able to find an adaptor to fit it. The purpose of the device is to use it in rural areas on mission trips and play music or recorded stories to a group. I can still do this, but, the intention was to save on batteries, especially in areas were there is not easy access to them or a way to responsibly dispose of them.

Use product on mower over very bumpy ground and player has not skipped a beat. Just what I was looking for to prevent skipped beats.

I use this to listen to books on CD from my library. It is good sound quality. My only criticism is that there is no power cord for it so it only uses batteries. I looked everywhere on line for one. I found only one and it cost almost as much as the whole unit, bummer
