Amazon.com Review

With the many competing brands of portable CD players available in the $50 to $75 price range, it's difficult for us to recommend the GPX C3946BI.

Although the C3946BI has lots of features, including a car adapter kit and volume control, we found its best asset to be its 40-second electronic antishock protection (ESP). With the ESP engaged, we dropped the player and bumped it repeatedly without causing the music to skip.

Unfortunately, even the antiskip feature has its flaws. Because the ESP button sticks out from the side, it was prone to being accidentally turned off each time we lifted the player.

The player's build quality is below average, with a design that offers fake screws as part of the lid's plastic mold.

The supplied headphones are among the least impressive we've heard in a portable CD player, exhibiting very little dynamic range and distorting frequently in the midrange.

Although the headphones come with a volume control, the circuit that's used to adjust the volume level hissed each time we moved the slide-rule-type control, with the music fading in and out and distorting through the headphones.

The supplied car kit did nothing to convince us the C3946BI's faults lie specifically with its headphones. When we plugged the player into our vehicle's normally impressive six-speaker sound system, the music distorted in the higher frequencies and demonstrated weak bass, indicating the built-in digital-to-analog converter is below average. --Eric Gill

4 out of 5 stars One of the best!.......2002-03-28

My mom got me this cd player as a backup to my almost 3 year old Aiwa cd player.I liked the cool look so much I had to have it!
When I got it...I was amazed it came with a AC adapter because alot of cheap ones don't.We both wanted to know how it sounded,so I played a cd on it right out of the box.My mom thought it sounded ok.The headphones are poor and [bad] in the bass department but do show some full-range dynamics.GPX calls them "digital headphones" but they are not!
I prefer to use my Sony headphones which gives the DBBS a REAL bass sound.The ESP is a God send.It makes this cd player unskipable beyond even the Sony's new anti-skip feature!
Yes it might stick out from the side like a sore thump,but if you put the HOLD button on it won't disengage when bumped(something the editor and 2 reviewers missed to examine).
The carkit is another God send,it works well.If you have a subwoofer the DBBS works very well in the bass department.Only cons I have is the headphones sound pretty [bad],and this cd player doesn't play CDRW's well.I highly recommend this cd player to people looking for a great,cheap discman that will play their CD's and CDR's(and don't mind buying a good pair of headphones).

5 out of 5 stars Great value.......2000-11-07

For about five dollars more than it takes to by a car kit for a CD Player, here you get a CD player as well! The player performs faultlessly when driven over the roughest terrain, the sound quality is good, and the unit is attractively finished in light blue. I was most impressed. The ear phones work well but are fragile, but who buys a CD Player for the ear phones? A great present for that young neice, or purchase as a spare around the home. I shall keep mine in the car.

                            3 out of 5 stars Dont expect too much.......2006-02-20

                            This DVD player is great for its low price but dont expect to get too much out of it. It runs nicely with new movies, but as soon as there are a couple of scratches on the DVD, the player starts to skip and sometimes even refuses to play. No matter how many times you try to start it up again or try again it just doesnt work. Another problem is if you watch one movie right after another, then the player just wont play the second movie. Overall, if you plan to use it sporadically its a nice cheap buy, but if you want to use a DVD player extensively youre better off spending the extra money to buy a better DVD player from a more respectable company

                            5 out of 5 stars Very pleased.......2004-04-10

                            I bought it for the price and must admit I was pleasently surprised by its performance. It has been working flawlessly and its data extraction speed is amazing. I also bought a CDRW from the same company and they work fine together. Installtion was a snap.
                            I highly recommend it.

                            2 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for..........2004-02-14

                            I used to think that all DVD drives were basically the same. So when I needed a new one for my computer, I simply bought the cheapest one I could find: this model. As it turns out, not all DVD-ROM hardware is created equal. I noticed immediately that this one is quite a bit louder than most that I've come across; it frequently sounds as if I have a powerful fan running in my room. Also, its performance has rapidly deteriorated. The poor thing has trouble with even the cleanest of discs. Frequently when I watch movies on my computer, the sound will cut out and the image will skip while the drive makes noises like a chainsaw in the distance. Occasionally, it will stop spinning the disc altogether, wait a few seconds, and then take a second try. The company website is practically vacant and offers no online support. It's been nine months since I bought this drive, and while I could invoke the warranty, I have no desire to. I'd rather pay for a better product than be saddled with another one of these lemons. I would strongly recommend spending the extra five or ten dollars to get a product from a respected company.
