It's worth what you pay for it: $30.
Most folks don't know that really fine CD Players cost $1000 or more, because of the complicated audio technology actually required to make a "musical device" as opposed to a jog-along laser box. For under $150, there are some outstanding portable players. But that's all they are. High-quality portable players; not audiophile sound gear. With the $400 Bose headphones, which are precise but not especially musical, try a high-end tube headphone amplifier. Once you hear what is really on the CD, and what the earphones can do, you'll be in the market for a high-end tube CD player in the $500 to $1000 range. Just because it's "Bose" doesn't mean it's worth any more than a good Sony or Panasonic walkman. And Bose disowned and discontinued this CD Player very quickly. For the benefit of the justly disgruntled buyer, in tiny print in the manual Bose recommends 6V DC 350MA AC ADAPTER.
I hope some of this helps.
