What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing has conflicting appearance and kit details: the title specifies black, while a feature describes a silver finish, and earphones are promoted in the title while the feature says headphones only. An included AC power cord is claimed, but the package details list a USB cable. The specifications label Auxiliary as wireless connectivity, although the feature describes a wired AUX connection. Confirm the selected listing's colour, included listening accessories, power cable and connection details before buying. The stated battery-melting and short-life reports are customer concerns, not confirmed product specifications.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Listeners who want a portable player for a personal CD collection and plan to use headphones.

- People who value claimed support for CD-R, CD-RW and MP3/WMA discs.
Less suited to
- Anyone needing built-in speakers, Bluetooth or radio.
- Buyers who require rechargeable or included AA batteries. The listing specifies 2 AA alkaline batteries as not included.

Customer feedback is positive about appearance and general quality, but sound quality and reliability are described as mixed. Battery life is a notable concern, including reports of batteries melting and lasting about two months. These perceptions matter for a player marketed for portable, battery-powered listening, but they do not establish the cause or frequency of problems. Aggregate ratings lean positive overall but include a meaningful spread of lower-star ratings, so they do not settle those concerns.
Positive themes

Negative themes
- Customer feedback reports battery-life concerns, including batteries reportedly melting and lasting about two months.
Mixed feedback
- Sound quality receives mixed customer feedback.
