GPX CDPR6205 portable CD player

Date Published: 3/27/06

The GPX CDPR6205 is a budget player, although it doesn't look the part. This is a bright, colorful player that looks great, and it has some unexpected features for a low-cost unit. The CDPR6205 is compatible with CD and CD-R/RW, although it will not play MP3 files burned to disc. It has a programmable memory for creating custom playlists, and a 60-second anti-skip memory buffer keeps the music playing even when the going gets rough.

The digital FM tuner has an automatic scan that makes it easy to find local stations. The six-digit LCD screen makes it easy to program and tune the CDPR6205, and it also has a low-battery indicator. This player comes with decent stereo headphones, and it has a dynamic bass boost that increases low-end response according to current volume levels. This keeps the bass from becoming overwhelming at low volumes.

The CDPR6205 uses two AA batteries (not included), or it can utilize an AC adapter (not included either) to operate on AC power. Still, for the price, the CDPR6205 is a good value.
