Jensen PRSNL CD PLYR Bass Boost

A review on this player is hard to do. The Good news first, this is the best CD available on Amazon. IT HAS MORE FEATURES THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER AVAILABLE, In fact, if you carefully read the features ON ALL THE OTHER CD PLAYERS it is amazing how limited they are. (1) no AC adapter input, (2) won't play CD-R, (3) no ear phones (4) no various play modes. THIS PLAYER OFFERS ALL OF THIS, plus bass boom and some other features. This is the only one I would buy.The Bad news, Jensen isn't a great brand, but NO major brands make CD players anymore. All the other players available are equal or worse quality, and have less features. I've bought other Jensen CD players and they don't last very long. HELPFUL HINT: avoid using the programming and random features, this will shorten the life of the player. This version of the player, in my opinion, has tiny buttons - placed too close together. Pass versions had larger buttons but poor placement. The placement, if you memorize the order, if fine but it is hard to press the right one since they are so tiny and close together.BOTTOM LINE: If you need a CD player THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY. No question, this is the best available. I would give it 3 stars because it is "OK" (4 stars would mean "Iike it" and 5 stars "Love it") I gave it 5 stars because it's the best choice of the "OK" products available. I hope they continue to make them. Just in case, I bought 3 of them, tested them all, and they all work well. A note to Jensen: Please keep making CD players, they offer some benefits MP3 players can't perform.All the vendors were great, and all fulfilled by Amazon

Excellent for the price

The CD player works just fine and is easy to use. My only problem is the ear buds look uncomfortable with no cushioning to protect my ears. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase,

DO NOT PURCHASE!!! PIECE OF JUNK!!! I was in the market for a new portable CD player because my previous Panasonic one broke after 19 years! So I purchase this Jensen model because it claims to have 60second memory (used for skipping), has repeat settings and bass boost. The reviews were mixed, but I figured, "what can go wrong" my Panasonic one was wonderful. Well, after I got it in the mail, the first cd I put in was a brand new cd I had just purchased, never played, and only 30 seconds into the first song, the cd player started skipping, or continuous stuttering for about three seconds, sitting flat on my dining room table!! So I played that cd on my stereo and no skipping. I played the cd on my laptop, no skipping. I played the same cd and again on the Jensen portable CD player, and again, skipping/stuttering around the 30second mark. UGH. So I play another cd that I've had for years with no problems and again, skipping at around the 30second mark. A few days later I played another cd and it played fine, so I thought it was just a random situation; but then later on during the cd, the same skipping/stuttering happened. The 60 second memory was created to remedy the skipping problem by remembering the song at the point of skipping so the memory would go back and play the song where the skipping happened for a smooth transition. Well this piece of junk is A PIECE OF JUNK. When I take it on the bus and train to work, it skips when I hold it vertically. What's the use of a portable cd player if I can't move it around? I'm not running the marathon or parkour while listening, I'm just walking with it and sitting on the bus/train. Also, it does not have a "lock" setting, so if the play button is accidently pressed, it will play the entire album. Or if you accidentally press another button while listening, it will do whatever you accidentally hit. So it's now been a month since I've owned this cd skipper, and 99% of the dozen or so cd's I've played would be marred by the skipping/stuttering, either at the 20-30 second mark, and/or later on in the cd. I may have been sent a bad cd player, but from what I've experience, THIS IS A PIECE OF JUNK! Beware!!! I wish I kept my packaging...that's bad on my part.

Just what I ordered. Thank you.

The first thing I noticed about this cd player is the build quality. It feels light & cheaply made. Don't get me wrong, it plays cd's and the FM radio works fine. If you ever accidentally drop this on the ground, I'm sure it will break into numerous pieces.If you are using the FM radio, there is no LCD display at all. There's no way to tell which station you're on. There is a memory feature where you can preset your favorite stations. But for me, it's a bit time consuming to do that.To sum it all up, this is an acceptable cd player for the price. However; like I mentioned earlier, the build quality and the lack of FM LCD display are it's short comings.

I bought this player mainly because i was looking for a cd player that played cdrw's and this one actually works for all of my cdrs i have. it is affordable and light. i am happy i did buy this player.as a brand new item it was worth the money i spent.and it was in a color i actually wanted as well. it has a lot of features that this a great item to have.

Great sound during my daily walk around the track.
