I hate when I open a clamshell package and I get a whiff of that funky Chinese plastic smell - I think it's due to the chemicals they use to make their plastics, and I only encounter this smell with items from China. It's only when I hold this in my hand and shake it fairly hard that it skips. (But that's what MP3 players are for).The controls are all easy to figure out without reading the instruction manual (the manual has that funny smell too).The sound quality is great but since I'm using my Sony headphones, that may have something to do with it. The headphones that came with it are another story, they are still sitting out in my garage and I'm hoping they lose that smell eventually. I hope it lasts longer than the 90 day warranty that comes with it. In the meantime, I'm glad I kept my old headphones from my 10 year old Sony Walkman that bit the dust last month.This CD player does not have an anti-skip feature, but I'm ok with that. It nauseates me.I would have returned this but the smell dissipated from the CD player itself within 24 hours. So this may work ok if you are a walker, but probably not if you intend to jog with it.
I use this when I go to bed at night to listen to relaxation CD's, I keep the CD player on the nightstand next to my bed and all is well. I tried this in my car and just letting it lay on the passenger seat worked well also. I haven't tried the J-win headphones.I'm happy with this, it was cheap, it has good battery life, and it plays my homemade CD-R's. And maybe one of these days the smell will leave the headphones, but if not, it's not a big deal to me.
And I certainly can't carry it while I'm walking. I bought this to use when I am on a treadmill. It works, but it skips just from the mild vibration of the treadmill. Also, it doesn't come with a power cord, so batteries are the only option. It's OK, but I wouldn't buy it again.
Nice unit for the money.The only problem is you can't go near it when it's playing or it skips(very sensitive). As long as I'm not jumping around while I'm walking along,I can put the unit in my jacket pocket while playing a CD and it works ok.
Amazon is totally great about that kind of stuff though. this cd player works well and is totally worth the $.it's a little touch sensitive though. i took a point off because the first one of these i bought came broken. you just report the problem and they replace it free.
This player skipped if you looked at it. I could be lying down, perfectly still, listening to it and it would skip. Controls hard to read.
