I bought this cd player as stated on ebay for £22 which i consider absolutely brilliant value. The normal retail price is upto £50!
Although i can' honestly complain about the cdplayer at ths price there are several areas of considerable criticism.
First and foremost is its size. I have no idea why on earth it is so large, much more so than any cd player i have ever seen before. Think of a normal one add a 1/4 of its size on top! This size makes it impossible to put in your pocket which is annoying. Though it is designed for running with and comes with a carrying strap for your hand, and this is where its size is good. Also exercises your arm!
Secondly the headphones are extremely weird. I still haven't worked out exaclty how you're meant to wear them. I wear them with the band round the front because this is most comfortable. Any other position they fall out of your ears when you turn your head.
Thirdly, the output sound quality isn't great. I mean it is perfectly adequate but the bass is lacking even at a setting of 2 compared to many others.
Those are the main areas of criticism. Positive areas are its durability. It has a magnesium top covering which makes it strong, though it isn't particularly hard, but that's a failure of magnesium itself. But it does make it extremely resistant to brakage compared to any plastic. Secondly, the track info is good for the price. Lastly, and generally it looks nice which is a benefit.
All in all I would not buy it brand new. But am extremely glad to have got what i see as an absolute bargain. At this price it is the best in its class out there. The best feature is its magnesium top in my opinion. Its worst its annoyingly large size.
