Title: Underwhelming...
Product review: The VP04 looks nicer than your average portable CD player, but it's a bit larger and bulkier than it should be. The biggest problems I have with this model are the skipping and sound quality. The skips are random and don't occur on the same tracks or CDs. They occur with standard audio as well as MP3 files -- all this while I'm sitting still. The various EQ settings are a joke. The remote really should have a hold switch and a volume control. The only true redeeming quality is the backlit display, which is hard to find on a portable CD player at any price. In any case, I returned the VP04 and spent an extra ten bucks on a comparable Sony, which is much better and it does NOT skip, even when I play the same CDs.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
