About ByronStatics Portable Disc CD player
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
73% highlighted the supported formats
The portable CD player has all the features one would expect from a Walkman-type CD player, including a pair of high-quality earbuds for private listening.
77% found it durable , but 23% experienced wear and tear
Some portable CD players can damage CDs due to cap head screws in the lid which may contact the CD if bumped or jostled.
I faced issues with the durability of the portable CD player. By slight movement of the earphone plug, there would be drop-out of the music, as if there was a loose connection inside. Same with the volume control. If I adjusted it carefully, it worked fine, but if I used what I would consider normal force, I would get audio drop-outs. When I tried to plug in the earphones, something broke loose inside, and there was no longer an earphone jack to plug into.

I need to refer to the manual for a while before learning the volume and other controls by memory as there are about 8 buttons on the player.
The buttons are hard to read and see as they are the same color as the case, and have tiny markings on them that I can't really see, so I have to memorize the locations of the functions.
I wish the player had a lighted display and buttons/controls. However, once you have used it a few times, you know what does what.
69% appreciated the audio quality, but 31% raised concerns
I would replace the basic ear buds that came with the portable CD player with quality headphones to enjoy music.
I plug in over-ear headphones for a more immersive listening experience. It provides a unique aural reproduction not found in signal-normalized streaming services.
The sound quality is clear and there were no issues while in motion, such as skipping or stopping.
After listening to Green Day for 15 minutes, I noticed that the sound quality was poor.
81% liked the anti-skip protection, although 19% found it ineffective
The 60-second skip protection is very effective. I tried to make the player skip by smacking, shaking and jolting it, but it never did.
I can travel with a couple of CDs on the bus, train, at the supermarket, etc. because of the anti-skip technology.
I initially thought the noise issue was related to the anti-skip protection, but it improved after a minute. However, I noticed that the noise level changed when I barely touched the unit, indicating a problem with the anti-skip protection feature of the portable CD player.
