Ultracompact Reviews

I purchased this based on other reviews and were they ever right. Compact and clearly well built. This is my first purchase of a portable CD player and I suspect it could be my last. The earphones aren't adjustable and are a bit bulky relative to the portability of the set and there is loss of sound when using the remote control but the player itself is the best I've seen (I HAVE used others).

i have my philips cd player with me, during all 8 hours that i'm at work. it's pretty physical work, lifting, bending, etc, and my philips cd player has outlasted all the other brands out there. i've dropped it (several times) from several feet, which would have (and did) shattered the other players i've had. nothing has ever gone wrong with it yet, which left me very elated and content. you cannot go wrong with this player. i would give it 10 stars if i could.

this is probably the best CD player i've ever owned in my life. when i got it, i thought it was okay. i wasn't really looking for a durable cd player; just something that would last me for a while. well, i was in for a surprise! i have dropped this cd player on concrete over 20 times, and nothing has happened to it! i even take it with me when i mow the lawn!! the hold feature helps when i'm on the lawn mower or in the car. also, the ESP system is WONDERFUL! even when riding around on a bumpy lawn mower, it never skips! AT ALL! probably the best feature is the fact that this is not a batter-guzzling machine. i don't have to change the batteries often, and that saves not only money, but time, and by that i mean because the battery compartment is inside the cd cover, which could be a pain to open or a plus because you won't accidentally open it. however you look at it. all in all, this is definately a 5-star cd player.
