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

I’ve tried a few different brands of CD players and even refurbished of brands like Sony but this player blows them all out of the water. Bluetooth works perfectly, the sound through my headphones is fantastic and it’s super durable and built well. The EQ is hit or miss and I usually only use one of them if I even use one. But that’s the only real negative. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Buy it. Like any middle child today in their mid 40s who grew up either creatively “borrowing” their sister’s Discman or trying to jump start my Memorex (because I was hard on things my parents absolutely did not get me a discman and I am in no way bitter about that 35 years later…nope…) I needed a portable CD player. I doom scrolled the Amazon cd player results adding then immediately deleting item after item in my cart - like a meth addict on tinder trying online dating for the first time - because let’s face it - the paradox of choice is real and Amazon leaned into this about as hard as humanly possible. Enter KLIM. Maybe it was exhaustion. Maybe it was frustration. Maybe it was meant to be. We won’t ever know, so I closed my eyes, wished on a star that wasn’t visible and clicked checkout. The next day - because why not - a nice dude in a silent yet audible electric van conversion appeared in front of my house and suddenly it was Christmas in June. KLIM had arrived. The painstaking waiting interval of - 14 whole hours - was a FINALLY over. I ripped the packaging open like a rabid dog - or painfully lonely middle aged man desperately trying to reclaim his youth through a cd player - and settled into what would become this review. Like any good 80s/90s kid I immediately cursed my lower back then got to it. Grabbed the trusted, tried and true Radiohead Ok Computer disc, plugged in the included headphones (which are really nice btw), closed the lid and hit play. Here is where the review starts. I forgot how subtle yet incredibly loud lossless vs lossy audio was. CDs sound better than any streaming service. Period. Anyone my age or older knows this but I sorta forgot this. I grabbed the iPhone and using an identical pair of headphones queued up Parnoid Android - and I’m no audiophile - but the difference is stark. CDs are better. You can hear the musical details I had forgotten about or maybe never noticed (misspent youth) but were always present. I test dropped the player on my bed a few times. No skipping. Satisfied with whatever that “test” result was I moved onto the next phase - driving. Yup it works. I have a late 2010s car and it works with my vehicle. Cool. What I’m getting at is this is better than my old Memoroex garbage truck player and not as good as the fancy Sony Discmans of my day / but I’ll take that. So buy it. This one. Well not like THIS ONE - that’s robbery because I won this one - but you get my point. Seriously - it’s cool. Do it.

So far its been working! I have to have both the aux and the charger plugged in to my car or else it randomly doesnt play from one speaker, super odd but when theyre both plugged in it works well! Sound is as good as whatever CD you're playing is. It doesnt play all my CDs which is wild, I have a Sheryl Crow CD it doesnt recognize, but so far it plays everything else! It definitely has that scratchy sound when its loading and in between songs but to me thats just nostalgic it doesnt bother me. The headphones it came with are absolute trash tho lol definitely not going to use them ever. Super fun listening to all my old CDs both in the car and at home, I just use my Sony headphones. I haven't tried connecting it to Bluetooth because it always auto connects to my phone but the plugs dont bother me so it doesnt feel necessary anyway, I like that I can switch from my CD player to my phone easy and quick for music while I drive Just remember to turn it off!!!! I forgot once when I went to work and it was super hot when I got back in my car. Leaving it in the car hasn't been an issue either, even on our hot days in the sun, I leave it in my center console and its never hot when I pull it out so I feel fine about leaving it in there!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I bought this portable CD player to share some of the music I grew up with, and it has been such a wonderful purchase. It has been a fun way to take my son back to my generation and let him experience the music that meant so much to me. The sound quality is excellent, it’s easy to use, and the battery lasts a long time. It brings back so many great memories while creating new ones together. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

On the surface and initial test this is a lovely unit. It paired with my bluetooth speakers after a second attempt, but failed in the playback of a CD that was 72mins long. The final song was unplayable with endless skips and distortion. Not sure if this is a known issue with these units. Apparently some need some sort of firmware update but I can't be bothered. Decided to return and get something better. If you only have CDs that don't go all the way to 75-77 minutes, like 10 -12 song CDs, then you may be fine with this. I am sure if you contact support they would walk you through a firmware update if you are brave. UPDATE: I got a second unit and the playback issue seems to be gone. Not sure if it is that I allowed the caching to save the last songs this time around or not. But happy this unit is working as expected. I was also able to pair it with my AirPods Max and love the full sound I am getting with those.

I was skeptical about the great reviews, but I am amazed with how easy it was to connect the Bluetooth to my wife's car. The sound is the best that I have ever heard from a set of ear phones. I tried my best to flip it over, shake it and it never skipped playing. Glad to see that someone actually cares enough to make a high quality product that is affordable.

I had to return it because it didn't work in my EV car. Hard to connect via Bluetooth. However, the presentation package and unit itself were great. Nice heavyweight feel to the unit and it did play my CD's with the headphones - like a Walkman (remember those?). Playback was clear. On the plus side, I purchased the KLIM portable CD and cassette player boom box! Should arrive today. No judgment - yes, I have MANY CD's and cassette tapes. Just trying to declutter my collection but I thought I would go down nostalgia lane and listen to the oldies before I get rid of them. Stay tuned for the boom box review!

This is amazing!! The audio quality is quite good and the Bluetooth connectivity is great. Even though the product description doesn’t mention it and the ai assistant on Amazon says that it doesn’t play mini cds, mine are working just fine.

The KLIM Nomad is of good quality. The build seems solid and not flimsy including door opening and closing. The buttons have a good feel and make good contact. The display is easy to read and pleasingly, back-lit; a luxury after years with unlit minidisk displays. The sound quality is good to my ear. (I'm 60 and used to work in night clubs so make of that what you will.) I have played music using the line out and the sound is good on a couple of sets of small speakers I own. It sounds great on my big stereo in the house. I have a Bluetooth to FM device in my car and it sounds fine through that. Connecting was not a problem although the seller did warn of potential problems with some bluetooth implentations. I bought this player to play CD audio, mp3 CDs and to use the card socket. All options sound great. Navigation works well and the DIR button will jump you to the next directory on the current media, where present. One slight quirk I found was when navigating directories on the SD card: it doesn't seem to take you the beginning of the directory. Instead, it drops you into the middle of it. I haven't found any pattern yet but my files do confirm to all sensible conventions in terms of naming and metadata so I don't know what's going on there. It is a minor inconvenience. I was pleased to find that the player will remember the point where you pressed stop or turned the unit off, whether that is on disk or solid state storage. I haven't let the player battery go flat though so I don't know if you'd lose your place in that instance. The Nomad defaults to CD when turned on, so if you're listing to content from the SD card and you turn the unit off, it will default back to the CD when restarting. Selecting the card with the mode button will bring you back to the last listened track on the card. (You might be able to fix this 'issue' by removing the CD but I like to have both media on standby and I haven't tried it.) The unit will also connect to previous Bluetooth devices and start playing by default. I turn it on when I start my car and within a few seconds my music selection is playing. Most convenient! I have not tried the FM radio in the device or the supplied headphones, so I can't comment on those, although the headphones look like they might be decent quality. I also haven't had the Nomad on a long, continuous play just yet so I can't really comment on the battery longevity, although so far it seems okay. I thought at one point that I may have made a mistake buying the white unit. I handled it with dirty hands and marked the player but it cleaned up well with a damp, soapy cloth. If I have one complaint about this unit, it would be that I was expecting more from the DIR button. Pressing DIR will take you to the next directory but that could become a bit tedious if you were trying to navigate a card with over 100 directories on it, as I have. I would have liked, even hoped, the DIR button would bring up a list of directories through which you could navigate before selecting the one you want. Alas, it doesn't do that but that is my only significant complaint. The saving grace is that every time you turn on the player, it picks up where it left off. I tend to work my way through my music collection from one end to the other so I will probably be happy to just let it play until it gets to the end. Overall, this is a great little player. I think it is excellent value for the price.

Ich wollte die Möglichkeit haben, meine CDs abzuspielen, ohne meine nähere Umgebung damit zu beschallen. Ich hatte vor vielen Jahren einen "Discman" und war eigentlich sehr zufrieden damit. Der Fortschritt hat seitdem schon große Sprünge gemacht und dieses Gerät zeugt davon, dass es davon profitiert hat. Bluetooth nutze ich nicht, sodass ich dies nicht bewerten kann. Auch, dass man eine zusätzliche Speicherkarte nutzen kann, ist für mich nicht interessant. Die Bedienung ist gut bis sehr gut, bei Dunkelheit sieht man leider keine Tasten. Sobald man eine Taste bedient, leuchtet das Display auf, die Bedienfelder bzw. Tasten bleiben allerdings dunkel, was bei Tageslicht völlig OK ist. Die mitgelieferten In Ear Kopfhörer machen für mich einen sehr guten Job, der Sound ist für mich mehr als ausreichend, klar und deutlich höre ich die einzelnen Instrumente heraus. Sehr gut. Ich habe aus Neugier meine sehr teure kabelgebundene Sennheiser Kopfhörer angeschlossen und konnte absolut keinen Unterschied feststellen. Somit bleiben die mitgelieferten Hörer für mich die erste Wahl. Ansonsten ist über die Verarbeitung zu sagen, dass sie sehr gut ist, es gibt für mich keinen Anlass zu Kritik. Der Lieferumfang ist sehr gut und der Preis geht angesichts der gebotenen Technik usw. absolut in Ordnung. Gut gemacht, Klim. Ihr könnt nicht nur Kopfhörer, sondern auch solche Geräte. Sehr empfehlenswert...

Voor de prijs erg goede portable cd-speler. Goed geluid. ESP werkt behoorlijk goed. Ook Bluetooth, maar het instellen ging minder vlot dan gedacht. Maar optie kabel is beschikbaar. Snel geleverd door Amazon. Beveel ik aan.

Lecteur CD génial, le son est super, facile a installer sur la voiture. Aucun saut de lecture. Trop contente de mon achat, je peux enfin écouter tous mes CD

Heel goed en makkelijk te bedienen
