Amazon.com Review:
You may not be familiar with the GPX C3948BI CD player, but it's a great unit and definitely worth your consideration. It's loaded with useful features, such as 22-track programming and random and repeat play modes. It comes with an adapter kit that lets you plug the player into your car's cassette player for tunes on the road and a six-digit LCD that shows the track number and time counter. And there's an impressive 40-second antiskip buffer, which GPX calls an Anti-Rolling System, to keep your tunes from jumping forward when you nudge the player.

The C3948BI itself is impressive for the price. It handled the tremulous, high notes of Dmitri Shostakovich without sounding shrill, and it delivered the thumping bass line of a Cowboy Junkies song without sounding muddy. The bass boost switch didn't produce the kind of bass you can feel, but for our taste and for a portable CD player it sufficed. At a midrange volume level we detected a slight hiss, but when we adjusted the volume up or down it went away.

Try as we might to foil the Anti-Rolling System by vigorously shaking the player, we couldn't get the player to skip while the antishock was engaged. Then we dropped it on the floor, and to our surprise this plastic clamshell-style player held together nicely. We found the controls sensibly placed, and the buttons big enough and easy to push.

Our one disappointment with the GPX C3948BI was its headphones. While they look sleek enough and have an inline volume control/remote, they were uncomfortable and produced weak sound. In fact, using a different pair of headphones, we discovered that the player was capable of better sound and higher volume than was detectable using the ones supplied. Otherwise, we found the GPX C3948BI a very satisfactory portable CD player. --Cintra Pollack

Pros:
  • Nice features for the price
  • Good antiskip protection
  • Delivered both high and low notes with pleasant clarity
Cons:
  • Slight hissing sound at midlevel volume
  • Uncomfortable headphones with poor volume output
  • No resume feature

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Product!!
I have had this for at least three years now, and it is still working as if I bought it yesterday! When I first saw it I thought it would break in a few months because it looks relatively cheap. But no, the player never broke and I have even dropped it a few times -- on the cafeteria floor. The only thing that I don't have anymore are the headphones, but those were actually cheap. I think they took about 6 months to a year to break? They still worked fine, but they had broken off from the tracking. ... Read More:



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - You get what you pay for
I saw this CD player on sale at Amazon.com and thought, what a great deal! It was only $[money] or so at the time. Now, a year later, I realize it was too good to be true.

This CD player is lightweight and very easy to carry, which is one really good thing about it. When it works, the sound is also pretty good. However when it is bumped it doesn't play very well at all. This CD player also looks nice and I really liked the anti-skip feature, since I was primarily going to use it while running ...
