Not worth owning - even if it's free!!
I got the Bose CD Player "free" with the Bose headphones I purchased. I've exchanged the CD player 3 times and the most recent one I got is not worth what I've spent in batteries to keep it going! I can get about an hour and a half on any battery I've tried (and I've tried many!!). There is no included AC adaptor and the (practically useless) manual included with it does not tell you what type of AC adaptor you need to use with it. The CDs skip when doing anything other than walking gently (even in the No Skip mode) - I don't jog, but have tried using it doing yardwork (blowing leaves, raking grass, mowing). The skips are unbearable. I have a really cheap $20 portable CD that I now use with my $400.00 Bose headphones!
