Less than $35 gets you a CD player with ability to play music from your phone, tablet, or iPod, plus speakers. Given how expensive CD players are (due to not many being made anymore), this is overall a pretty good deal. I picked one up to go alongside a vinyl record player for my sound setup--never get a vinyl-CD player combo because those sound like junk and it's better to buy'em separately and get a good quality one for each purpose.Pros:- CD Player has played every CD I've thrown at it with ease, including some burned ones that are scratched up. Only one CD skipped and it was one that was heavily scratched.- CD Player can keep a CD paused for at least a half hour, probably more (though I've not tried this)- CD Player has EQ options plus the ability to use no EQ. I typically use no EQ as I find all of the EQ settings built in sound pretty artificial, although the Rock one is nice for adding a little oomph to what's played through it.- AUX input works like a charm and sounds really good.- Nice modern design with the ability to be easily mounted.Cons:- The speakers are not good. If you're going to get this CD player, I would highly recommend investing in a set of decent or good speakers. I personally use some Logitech Z200s with a male RCA to female AUX adapter. I am planning on upgrading to a better set fairly soon, although these sound wayyyyy better than the speakers that come with the CD player.- CD Player is a little warm to the touch when a CD is played through it for long periods of time. No danger of a fire or anything of the sort, just wish it stayed cooler.- Remote control is not very good beyond a range of 5 feet.My only worry about this player is that it won't last long given the cheap price. But we'll see how long it works well for.
