KLIMJourney - Portable CD Player Walkman with Long-Lasting Battery - New - with Headphones - Radio FM - Compatible MP3 CD Player Portable - SD Card, FM Transmitter, Bluetooth - Ideal for Cars - Black

I was looking for a quality CD player for VGM soundtracks I collect, and came across this product. It was quite expensive, but I had my eye on this, until I decided to purchase, and it arrived in a few days.The CD player contains a case and some cords for charging and an aux cord. I intended to use Bluetooth (AirPods 1st gen) on it, but I had trouble at first. Once I figured out what I did wrong (which I had switch the hold to "on" and needed to switch back to off), I was able to connect to Bluetooth after searching a few times. That's when I know it had worked as I intended.Note: the switch at the bottom, labeled hold, when switched on, prevents any interruptions or skips with the music currently playing from pushing any buttons.As for the sound quality of the CD player, it is very clear and it makes for an immersive listening experience. I was able to play VGM OSTs such as Stardew Valley and Japanese imported VGM OSTs (I listened to Atelier vocal albums, in this case). Of course, this will play song albums.I assume this CD player can also play audiobook cds or Japanese drama CDs, but I shall update this information once I can confirm it works (when I have one to try).Overall, this product is very good quality, and I foresee a lot of listening to VGM with this CD player.update (10/9/23):I do not listen to the CD player very often, but it still works. it can play Japanese drama CDs. However, it does not [seem to] read burned CD-R discs like custom playlist.forgot to mention: The product I received has minor imperfection that is quite visible at the edge of the bottom screen when turned on (you have to look closely), but it does not affect the performance of product. Another imperfect I noticed is in the lens that reads the cd, and it has some slight bumps, but again, it does affect the functionality of the product.

I have this portable CD Players:Sony D-EJ360 PSYC (2002), ONN CD Player (2020), HOTT CD611T (2021) and KLIM Nomad (2022).This is the BEST unit so far. The sound quality with the other additions, make this the best unit I owned so far.Compared with the KLIM Nomad, this one is very close in quality terms.THESE ARE THE NEW ADDITIONS:- It has different EQ profiles than the Nomad that provide greater versatility with different headphones or speakers.- The Bluetooth sound quality is MUCH better than the Nomad. I repeat; exceptionally BETTER! The audio fidelity Is very close to the headphone output signal or the bluetooth signal of my iPhone 13.THIS CD PLAYER ALSO PROVIDES THESE GREAT TOOLS FOR MUSICIANS OR ENTHUSIAST:- It lets you loop a passage from the track (A to B), that will repeat indefinitely.- It lets you decrease the tempo and pitch of the song, so you can transcript any part you want, sing it in another Key, or just enjoy a slower version of the song. And the fidelity is very good.- It lets you record to the micro-SD cart anything that you play from the CD (or the FM radio), with good quality! (MP3, 160 kbs). You can also buy another FM transmitter, so you can connect anything to it, to record it.MORE PROS:- Some radio stations offers texts info from the songs that are playing!- You can find replacement parts online, so you can fix the unit in the years to come ( battery and the Laser drive ). The parts have serial numbers that let you identify them.CONS:- Compared to the KLIM Nomad, the headphone gain is slightly lower (This doesn't apply to the FM output or Bluetooth signal, which has more gain.- The FM transmitter ONLY lets you transmit to five assigned stations. This is a drag, since the transmitter has problems if there's stronger signals from other FM stations in your area. In my area, all of them are taken by others, strong signals.Feedback to KLIMIn my opinion, this is the best CD player I ever bought. Is closer to perfection! But in order to create the perfect unit, just raise a little bit the gain on the headphone output, and let the user select the FM Stations that he wants to transmit the signal. Also, having access to the AM radio will not hurt either!

Since cars haven’t had CD players available for a few years, I had to buy this. I have hundreds of CDs and I like them. The player Bluetooth works and it was a joy to drive and play my CDs again. Good product.

I just bought my second one! This is the only CD player to connect via Bluetooth to my new 2023 Ford Escape! I recently got a good deal on a 2023 Ford Plug In Hybrid Escape but was disappointed there's no mini jack input for a iPod or CD player. KLIM to the rescue as their the only manufacturer who's CD player will connect and play on my car! Other players fail to function only working with Bluetooth headphones. Even Bluetooth transmitters won't connect to the Ford. Yes the other option is a FM transmitter but your bound to pick up interference once in awhile. I do wish the battery would last longer but still this thing sounds great. The only thing that would make this perfect would be to have a auxiliary input so I could transmit my iPod's signal to Bluetooth. Maybe on the next model, till then this is the best player on Amazon!
