Great sound and doesn't skip. Works great next to your bed because of the way it is designed it does not take up a lot of space.
The only thing it doesn't do is play mp3's.
If it did I would buy ten of them.
This is really a nice machine.
Buy one, you won't be sorry.

Highly recommend this radio, I trusted the Emerson brand name to purchase this radio, also the information on the product review was well written.
I think for the price that the quality is wonderful!!!
The radio is made with quality, the sound is excellent and the cds play great!!!
I use the ear phones at night when I am on the computer and it sounds fantastic
I also like the fact that you can use batterys or the electrical outlet

I purchased this Emerson CD player 3 years ago and it is still going strong. I play it quite a lot. It has a nice sound and the "Skip" feature that allows you to skip the songs you don't want to hear is nice. I would buy it again if something went wrong with this one.

If, as I do, you like to do house and yard work to the accompaniment of recorded books, you will find this unit provides good sound and easy portablity. Unlike bulky boom boxes, its sleek and ergonomic shape makes the Emerson PD5098 an attractive and inexpensive buy, fitting easily into tight spaces around the house. A minor related drawback is that its small footprint also makes it easy to accidentally knock over. I liked the unit so well that in case Emerson decides to stop making this model, I bought an extra just to stockpile for the future.
Be aware that starting the CD is a two step operation. The player will cue up, counting the number of tracks and so on. After that's done, the CD will stop spinning. Then you push the play button and begin listening. Highly recommended.

I bought this CD player for it's size. We use it on our kitchen, where it fits nicely on a shelf.

Aside from being a space saver, there isn't much to say about this unit. It plays CDs fine and hasn't had any trouble playing discs I've burned using iTunes. Being able to see the disc spinning is kind of cool.

There are only two things I don't really like about this player: the AM/FM radio tuner and the volume control. The radio tuner is not digital, so you have to manually tune in a station every time you want to listen to the radio. It does seem to get pretty good reception though. The volume doesn't go up very high. Don't get me wrong, it's loud enough, it's just not loud enough for me to hear well from the other room. Of course, some might see this as a positive thing.

Overall, I would recommend this CD player if all you need are bare bones CD player functions.

I use this stereo/cd player at work, and it's perfect for what I need. It's kind neat looking and doesn't take much space at all on my desk when I push it against the wall. I really like it. I've had it for a couple months and so far everything works perfectly.
