This player skips more easily than any other player I own--if you have scratches on your CDs, prepare to be very annoyed. The sound quality is poor and it doesn't go loud enough to be heard over most power tools. The charger is a slow charger, not as good as a standard Bosch quick charger. By default it enters "bosch sound" mode, which you have to turn off to get the sound to be halfway decent, every time you turn the unit on. When you insert a CD into the unit, you have to wait like 10 seconds before you can hit "play" while it reads this disk. There is no way to control the treble/bass except for a few equalization modes, none of which sound that good. This is all around a poor product.
