Jensen CD-60R Personal Portable CD Player

What it is

A personal portable CD player with FM radio, 60 second anti-skip, bass boost, and earbuds included. It plays CD-R and CD-RW discs, with skip and search, repeat one or all, random play, and track info on the display.

Who it is for

For someone who wants the cheapest way to play a CD on the move, and who is willing to accept a budget player with clear limits.

What to check before you buy

• Be honest about what this is. Buyers said Jensen is not a great brand, no major brands make CD players anymore, and this is the best of the budget options, not a premium player.
• Check the sound with good headphones. The included earbuds get poor reports, and the sound is decent once you swap them.
• Some buyers reported it stopping after fifteen minutes, working only sometimes, skipping at the twenty to thirty second mark even sitting flat, and breaking after a few days, with the top and bottom coming apart.
• It eats batteries, with some buyers getting under two hours, so keep spares handy and use the skip and search features, not programming and random, if you want it to last.
• The buttons are tiny, and durability is the weakest part of this player, so treat it gently and keep your receipt.

Why it pairs with used media

Our CDs are cheap, and this is the cheapest way to hear one away from a stereo. It is the honest budget pick, with the flags out in the open.
