This a used player but works just fine and has a wonderful sound to it.The only downside is that when you pick the player up there is something loose on the inside of one side of the left speaker but does not seem to effect the sound.I would say for the price this player cost it was a very good buy.Coby CX-CD282 Portable CD/Radio/Cassette Player

i purchased the radio for myself while deployed to iraq to listen to my music. the radio works ans sound great. it has everything you need while being deployed to hear music. the radio is in good condition for being used. i do not mind that it was used because it is still in good condition. the only thing that confused me was that it had a external antenna line in the package but the radio had a antenna. overall it works good. thank you

Sound okay,not great. No shuffle mode. Lid to insert and extract cd’s is cumbersome to use.

BEFORE PURCHASING THIS ITEM I LOOKED AT MANY OTHER OFFERINGS AND PRODUCTS FROM VARIOUS MANUFACTURERS, AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PRICE RANGES. BECAUSE I ALREADY OWN SEVERAL OTHER “COBY” PRODUCTS,THEY WERE ONE OF MY FIRST SEARCH PREFERENCES. “COBY” PRODUCTS FROM WHAT I CAN SEE ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE “THE BEST”..HOWEVER THEY ARE DESIGNED IT SEEMS TO DELIVER A LOT OF “BANG FOR THE BUCK” FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO MAY NEED A PARTICULAR ITEM,BUT DO NOT WANT TO SPEND AN “ARM AND A LEG” TO GET IT!IN SHORT..IF YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF A “COBY”..IT’LL LAST..IF YOU DON’T, IT WON’T..THAT SIMPLE! WITH THIS PARTICULAR ITEM I WAS BOTH PLEASED AND SURPRISED NOT ONLY BY ITS RUGGED GOOD LOOKS AND APPEARANCE..BUT THE OVERALL QUALITY.FEEL,WEIGHT,ETC..SUGGESTS TO SOMEONE THAT THIS UNIT COSTS WAY MORE THAN THE PRICETAG! THE SOUND QUALITY ISN’T “SONY OR PIONEER” ETC..BUT IT SURE ISN’T TABLETOP RADIO EITHER!AGAIN GOING BACK TO MY EARLIER STATEMENTS..FOR THE PRICE..AGAIN, FOR THE PRICE..YOU WILL FIND THIS UNIT HARD TO BEAT IN EVERY WAY!!EAT YOUR CHEERIOS THOUGH, YOU’LL NEED YOUR STRENGTH IF YOU HAVE INTENTIONS OF CARRYING THIS BABY AROUND WITH YOU,IT’S GOT A LOT OF PRESENCE! DON’T LET OTHER REVIEWS SCARE YOU OFF..I SAY BUY IT!!

For what I needed, too large. Unfortunately, size was not in discription. They offered a return for credit on another item, however, I paid 13.75 shipping, will pay that much back & new shipping is 9.75. Plus the smaller unit is 10.00 more.
