Customer Review: Amazing Product!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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. ^.^!!

Description of GPX C3948BI Ultra-Slim CD Player with 40-Second Anti-Shock Protection and Car Kit
GPX exclusively offers one of the most comprehensive consumer audio and video electronic product portfolios imaginable. The company has built a solid reputation with excellent product quality, reliability and value pricing. GPX's success is based on the principal of exceeding expectations by offering the latest in technology, features, and fashionable designs that make customers feel good about their selection.This player features 45-second Electronic Anti-Shock Protection, 6-digit LCD display, 22-track programming, 8-Times oversampling, deluxe blue-ice finish cabinet with clear CD door and Dynamic Bass Boost System. It is supplied with Blue-Ice Headphones with in-line volume control, Car Cassette Adaptor, Cigarette Adaptor and AC adaptor.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
