I bought this player to take on my 5-mile a day walks. On the first day, the headset broke because the plastic is so cheap. It constantly skips and is ruining all the CD's I use in it. The batteries bearly last two walks, for some reason, they are really drained by the player. Overall, I bought this player in December and am throwing it out in Mid February, along with two of my favorite CD's. Not a great statement about the quality for the price. Do yourself a favor and trust me on this one!
