Some Review about Personal CD Mp3 Player – Coby CD521

Review By. Bilman :

The only problems I found with this player are that the display is very small and hard to see if you are optically challenged as I am. Also, as mentioned somewhere below by another reviewer, it takes a long time to click through to a particular song, say #10 on the CD. I assume this is due to the 120 second skip protection, which is rather large.
But on the other hand, it is light, thinner than my last CD player (a Philips)and louder than my last CD player. I bought this with the Sennheiser headphones which are an over-the-ear headphone so they don’t hurt your ears. The two work well together. Another plus is this player plays a long time on two batteries; my last player took four.
For the money, I can recommend it, especially since with 120 second skip protection you can practically take this thing on a trampoline and not have an interruption in your music.

I bought it for my sister to play CD’s and MP3’s. She and bro in law aren’t all that computer saavy, so this appeared easier than MP3 hard drive and having to download off computer. I actually hadn’t used one like this before, so had to learn myself. We put in MP3 disc and it started to play, no problem. Skipped ahead and back when asked to do so. I didn’t check all features in short space of time, but basic features worked great. I have a Creative Muvo Slim which is a better way to go for computer saavy, but this unit is good introduction to format.

By M.Reno :

I only used this a few weeks until I purchased another cheap MP3 player. It does eat batteries pretty quick but it gets the job done. If you want to listen to MP3s, espically podcasts, I would say buy a GPX MP3 player from Kmart. You don’t have to burn a MP3 CD you’ll only use once, and it takes less batteries.

By  Mogg Fanatic :

I bought this CD player about a week ago and the anti-skip is terrible on it. It skips when you walk with it, the sound quality is poor, and it lags when you try to skip tracks. The COBY company obviously does not know how to make a quality portable CD player and I am not very happy with my purchase. Stick with SONY or PANASONIC much better quality.
