I needed a small CD Player for the second (smaller) living room and didn't need something that had really good speakers built into the player because I intended to use my Klipsch Promedia THX 2.1 desktop speakers. This CD player had everything I needed with regards to size, price, and features.
I didn't have a tape measure handy, but my photo shows an orange Pearl Jam CD next to it. The CD player is basically the size of a CD case - 5.5 inches on all sides (LxWxH). It takes up very little space. As for the price, my total purchase price after tax was $45.57. I was very comfortable with that even before being able to actually try out the product.
After hearing (and seeing) what this player can do, $45.57 is totally worth it. It sounds great! (using the external speakers of course). I have never tried listening to it using its built-in speakers and I don't think I ever will, so I apologize to the people expecting to find out what it sounds like with just the speakers it came with. The CD tray on top opens by hand - there's no button to press to open it, and it really doesn't matter. Less moving parts means less things that can go wrong. The CD hub feels like there's some kind of suspension or cushioning built into the mechanism so that CD's don't skip when carrying the player around - kind of like car CD players back in the day. Secure the CD in, close the top cover, and it shows the total number of tracks on the front display. I don't know if there's an option to have it auto play (I haven't fully explored all the product features yet). The sound quality is awesome. Even the best external speakers won't sound good if the source doesn't give the speakers good signal to process. This one does. High frequencies are crisp and detailed (cymbals, high notes), and the base is clear, full, and not muddy. The XBass button makes all the difference. It just amplifies the sound, not in the sense that it just makes it louder (that's what the volume control is for), but more like it gives the sound more intensity and clarity.
All the wire connections are in the back of the player. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack where I connected my Klipsch external speakers, the power cord is right next to it, and another jack for the FM antenna that came with it. The power cord/adapter isn't very long. I'd estimate it to be between 2-3 feet. There's Bluetooth connectivity as well.
I am very happy with this purchase and this product has exceeded my expectations.
