I bought this CD player at Best Buy using a gift certificate I received for Christmas, and I also layed down more for a 2-year warranty (hard to turn down), which is good for repairs or replacements at Best Buy. This is a good CD player for the price. The sound is excellent, especially with the bass boost on. It sounds great coming from my 6 1/2" Infinity speakers. The car accessories that come with it are pretty nifty, too. I was torn between buying an in-dash CD player and this, but all-in-all I'm happy with my purchase. It works out especially well for me, since I am allowed to listen to music while I'm at work. Most of my day is spent working, so I'm definitely getting my money's worth. There are a couple of drawbacks, though. The button to open the CD player pretty much sucks, especially when you're trying to open it while you're driving. It can be a downright dangerous task at times. The volume contol buttons aren't much good either because they're really small and are also a pain to mess with while driving. The good outweighs the bad, though, so in my opinion it's worth the money.

Almost a Buyer of this - A Reviewer - USA
Why would anyone fork over 60 bucks for this, when much cheaper options are available for allowing you to play a CD Player through an existing cassette tape player. Makes no sense.br /br /Oh, I get it, High profits for Sony, lol.br /

What's with the BEEPS?! - D. Song - Laguna Niguel, CA
Wow, what a lousy CD player! I don't know about the sound quality coming out of the headphones, but the noise coming out of this unit through the cassett adaptor is unacceptable. What's even worse, if you were to change tracks or pause, there's a SCREECHING loud BEEPING noise. What's with that?! Stay away from this one folks.
