Well, I've owned this for 8 months, and it's still in great shape. I've delete my old review, to write another review on this good CD player.br /br /Radio - 5/5 Starsbr /br /Good reception on most stations, considering I live 15 miles away from metro Tucson (Marana to be exact), so most players would usually black out signally this far, but I can listen to most stations within this distance. The radio sound quality is poor, as on any FM...anything. Though, I don't blame RCA. It's ClearChannel that needs to have their equalizer adjusted. The presets are easy to preset. I put every station in order on the presets from the way their presented from (87.5 - 107.9). Mainly because of the distance of where I live make it hard to get a signal on some stations, making the seek feature skip some stations.br /br /Sound/Bass Boost - 4/5 Starsbr /br /The bass and treble are NO problem whatsoever. The bass boost is truly effective. The gripe is that the volume, even on the highest setting, is kind of quiet. Anyway, great sound. Just a low peak volume.br /br /CD Player - 5/5 Starsbr /br /The player has skipped barely, if not at all. All my CDs play fine, even the ones most scratched of all play well. And once again, quiet but great sound.br /br /Headphones - 1/5 Starsbr /br /Just throw them away when you open it.br /br /Construction - 5/5 Starsbr /br /Not even a scratch or malfunction ever since I bought it. Dropped over 5 times and not even a scratch. Even the Sony Walkman has that kind of construction. Actually, I banged this CD player with a hammer and ithad not even a scratch. I award RCA with this kind of durability.br /br /Portability - 4/5 Starsbr /br /The CD player should fit in most small cases, though even if it's twice as blukier than other CD players (it that where it gets it's durability from?). Good for picky-but-not-to-picky travelers.br /br /Cost - 0/0br /br /I don't know the cost of it because I got it for a birthday present. If I was RCA, I'd price it -.br /br /Battery Life - 5/5br /br /It has an amazing battery life of 36 hours.br /br /Overall - 4/5br /br /Of all the CD players I've owned (2 Walkmans, 2 junky Memorexes, and 6 other CD players I've tried but not owned), this is the best of the bunch. The headphones suck, but just spend - on another pair (volume control type recommended) and you'll be good to go.

Great player - -
I'm very suprised by the amount of negative reviews of this CD player. It's wonderful! It's just awesome because you can listen to a CD and then the radio at the same time. The red color has little mini sparkles and they look so cool. The headphones aren't to good, and I would recommend a different pair. The skip-protection actually works, unlike most CD players that have this option. The presets on the radio are convinent and easy to set and use. I would recommend anyone to buy this CD player. It's just awesome.
