KLIM Nomad Transparent - New - Portable CD Player Walkman with Long-Lasting Battery - Includes Headphones - Radio FM - MP3 CD Player Portable - TF Card Radio FM Bluetooth - Ideal for Cars

I don't write many reviews, but this is easily the best CD Player you can buy. It's 100% worth the money, I know because I bought a CD Player for less on Amazon before this one and I had to return it due to skipping and quality.This one is USB-C chargeable and a full charge lasts pretty much 2 weeks for me constant listening. It never skips and I mean never, it actually has a feature where the CD stops spinning and I believe it captures the song in memory or something. I've hit this, dropped this, ran with it and it's still played the CDs.Sound quality is top notch, you don't miss anything in those great albums you have on your shelf. Every instrument every note.In case you wanted to, you could use Bluetooth. It works just fine, I don't use it because the quality of sound takes a dip compared to wired connections. But it's very convenient. I pair these with my Sennheiser HD 599s and it's just a perfect fit.You could use a memory card and put your entire library in the CD Player if you'd like which is convenient and it also has a Radio option.The radio option works perfectly fine as well, no issues there. I don't use it much.EQ and Programming is very nice as well. It also comes with a case and headphones. The complete package.You can't go wrong here, if you're like me and have 100s of CDs this is the perfect buy.

I'd previously purchased another portable CD player (review elsewhere) and the sound quality was atrocious. This one is head and shoulders above that one, and sounds very good through a quality bluetooth speaker or decent headphones. I've used it with both JBL and Aiwa bluetooth speakers and the sound quality is equal to or better than what I get via Bluetooth from my cellphone (streaming Spotify). Bluetooth pairing can be a little slow, but it works. I've not tried this in my vehicle yet, but that's not my particular use case for it. This unit appears to have a tremendous amount of buffering memory, as it only actually spins the disc for about the first 1/3 of the track, then it just plays from memory (which is also extremely helpful for skip resistance).I'm pretty picky about sound quality, which is why I like playing CDs (and Minidiscs) as opposed to the highly compressed streaming you get from most music services. Also, people complaining about the volume control should instead use the volume control on their speakers/headphones, it's much easier to control the overall volume that way.So far battery life/charge times seem great. I was able to figure out the functionality without using the manual. The only sketchy thing about the UX is related to the FM radio controls (why didn't the use the Back <> Forward buttons for tuning?).The weakest thing about this purchase was the included earbuds, they are terrible. @KLIM, these earbuds are a serious detriment to your user experience, I'd suggest just not including earbuds at all if you aren't going to increase the quality of these. (FYI, ZERO high end on the buds). This unit sounds great with my Panasonic earbuds and my over the ear Sony headphones.Overall, highly recommended (especially for the price!).

I was immediately smitten with the transparent casing, but opening the Klim box itself was an experience--this brand is surprisingly high-end, with well thought out packaging, instructions, and the included earphones, which have since replaced my daily earbuds due to comfort and sound quality. This player quickly starts and stops, has all the settings you'd want and expect from a modern cd player, and features you may not even use--the option to pop a microSD in there is nice, the second input is also handy for those that might want to share music. The battery life is good for 4-6 hours, but not quite ideal for me (I feel like we should be getting 8-12 hours these days but I digress), with a very minimal standby drain if you aren't listening but accidentally don't switch off. Overall, I'm very impressed with this product, as I haven't had a portable cd player since the Walkman days and this is simply more fun and better audio quality than any mp3 playing alternative. I highly recommend this for basically any situation, whether you need something outside of a screen to pass the time, or just need that background audio for doing chores. I'm a Klim fan now.

Nice package, great battery life.Outstanding customer support. I had some questions — my emails were promptly answered with friendly assistance.Bought the Clear version cuz fun to see the innards.MP3 navigation from micro-SD card is a bit challenging. Card can hold well over 1000 songs, but over about 50 it gets tedious to step through to find what you want next. Folder / album and search support could help.Bluetooth for wireless speakers, AirPods and similar does work, though volume control is a bit tricky. Commands from buds like pause/skip/volume-change are not acted-upon by player. (Most other CD players offering Bluetooth have similar limitations). Support suggest setting buds volume high on a phone before connecting them to Nomad.So… player still seems a decent machine for the price. More-so if they can polish firmware.Customer support is exceptional. So much better than typical for Amazon sellers where it is hard to even find an email address or website. Thanks!
