I bought this to play in my office, so I went for the cheapest thing I could get because I wasn't going to ever play it at a loud volume and I figured sound quality wouldn't be that big a deal. Turns out you CAN go too cheap. I knew I wouldn't get the best quality player, but this unit honestly doesn't do the minimum I would expect to even be called a CD player. One speaker gets louder than the other when you adjust the volume, and this is especially painful when you wear headphones. Even worse, if you get near the end of the CD it will randomly skip. This has happened with five or more of my CDs when I got past the 40th minute or so. I take good care of my CDs, and one of them was even brand new, so it's definitely the player and not any scratches on my discs.
Just don't buy it.
What's not so great: Terrible volume control, CDs skip without scratches
