The player is able to withstand vibrations well and not have the sound or player affected. The CD player works very well in the car - the car adapter is very good. This player is a very good value for the price.
Features that I thought would be standard for any CD player were noticeably lacking. Also, it would change the volume setting back to near minimum.
I wouldn't recommend buying this CD player unless you need a stand-in for a movie stunt in which you didn't want to damage a real CD player. And if it lost its tracking it would never recover.
Most of the time I found that unless it was held perfectly still and level, it would have problems actually getting the CD to start playing. After a few weeks of fighting with it I chose to buy a low-end Sony Discman for about the same price, and that works far, far better.
It seems GPX did almost the bare minimum necessary to make a device that actually plays CDs. When you stopped the CD player and restarted it it would not queue up to the point at which it stopped - it would start over from the very beginning.
These "features" are pretty much antithetical to those you'd want for a CD player for a car.
The product came as advertised, in a timely manner and it is working well. I would definitely order it again and appreciate the service.
But it doesn't.A definite bust. The problem is that the CD player is unreliable. The CD player itself is temperamental and inadequate. That part works fine. Other CD players we looked at in this round cost about $10 or $15. This one ran us $25. The cassette adapter, stereo ear buds, and cigarette lighter plug do indeed allow listeners to play CDs while on the road. The plug powers the CD player, and the listener can use the earbuds to listen to something other than the music on the main stereo system.
It doesn't always play. It would have been worth it if the cigarette lighter-power-adapter worked well with other cd players too. The best thing about this package is the accessories. We bought the player to avoid running a battery-operated CD player while in the car. It requires a firm bang with the fist to get it going.
