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
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. Anyways, it's a really amazing piece even without the headphones -- plus I was able to get a new pair that I enjoy more.
Completely worth buying all in all. ^.^!!
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 and driving- both bumpy activities. However, the CD player doesn't work well for either.
It is also awful on batteries - you can only play songs for about 45 minutes before it starts skipping and going out, and after an hour it just stops playing all together because it used all its batteries.
For one thing, the clear plastic case that covers where the CD fits into is very cheap and it cracked right away. Now that means it doesn't stay completely shut and in the middle of a song, it decides to stop reading the CD. In the car whenever there is the slightest bump, the CD player gets cranky and turns itself off for no reason. Then you have to start it all over again and find the song you were on.
While running it acts up as well, and I find myself having to hold it sideways, upside down, and every which way just to get it to play. Maybe this CD player would work well if you are sitting still and listeniing to it but other than that, it gives you all kinds of problems if you try to do anything besides that.
If you want a cheap CD player and are willing to settle for some problems it continually has, this one is a good bet. But otherwise I would recommend spending a little more money on a more reliable CD player. I wish I would have!
GPX'S PHONE NUMBER I LOCATED GPX BUT THERE WAS NO ANSWER YOU GIVE IT A TRY 314-588-1202. THEY ARE OUT OF HIGH HILL, MO
WORST INVESTMENT I'VE MADE LIKE THE OTHERS THAT WROTE IN WITH A ONE STAR RATING. I BOUGHT THIS FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR MY DAUGHTER BY MARCH IT STOPPED WORKING THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERIES WE CHANGED THEM. NOTHING!!! I TRIED GOING BACK TO THE STORE BUT BECAUSE IT WAS A SPECIAL PROMOTION WHERE YOU SPEND A HUNDRED DOLLARS YOU GET A FREE BARBIE. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK OR EVEN A CREDIT BUT THEY WOULD GIVE ME AN EVEN EXCHANGE. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THEY ONLY CARRY THEM AT CHRISTMAS TIME. I HAVE TRIED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET FOR A WEB SITE, DIDN'T FIND A THING. THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER TO BE FOUND OR EVEN A COMPLETE ADDRESS. SO I GUESS I'M STUCK WITH A LEMON. I AM BRAVE ENOUGH TO SIGN MY NAME MAYBE THEY CAN CONTACT ME. KIMBERLY JACOVINO FROM MONROE CONNECTICUT
