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

Normally I burn music files to my phone. However, I wanted a small, light portable CD player that I could pair with a bluetooth speaker for alternative use and the KLIM Nomad fit the bill. Paired with an Ultimate Ears - BOOM Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker and it works fine. Will update if there are any durability issues.

Since cars no longer come with CD players we wanted something portable to use in the car. This little gem filled the bill perfectly. Since our car did come with an AUX port, it couldn’t have been easier. To hook up. Plugged it in and it played perfectly through the car’s sound system. We didn’t even have to hook up Bluetooth.

The function "switches" on the side are hard to see and awkward to move into position without tilting or picking up the unit. It is also a little awkward to insert or remove a disk because the top does not fully open. I used both the Bluetooth and provided wire connections to hook up to an external speaker; both connections were easy to make, and the player provided enough wattage to drive the speaker nicely, particularly when the volume control was set at its max. The battery charged up in a few hrs; I did not expend all its initial charge--used it a couple hrs--so I don't know how long it might have held. Sound quality thru the included ear buds was very good, using both the Bluetooth and wire connections. FM radio functioned nicely throughout a wide range of stations and the sound quality thru the ear buds was very good. A little pricey but does perform well.

I was so upset when I realized my new car didn't even have an AUX jack! These car companies keep cheaping out on the audio features in the name of progress, leaving adult millennials high and dry! Now with a Bluetooth cd player, I can finally enjoy the car! Shame on Ford, thank God for this product.

We were able to easily add playing CDs through "Infotainment" speakers in our 2021 Chevy Colorado using the audio input jack on the Colorado and using Bluetooth. We found that with Bluetooth, we needed to add the KLIM Nomad as a smart phone.

I was satisfied with my purchase no fault found👍

I was really excited to evaluate this portable FM Walkman/CD Player advertised to be with a modern twist. Despite having Spotify, I still have hundreds of CD's of my favorite artists waiting to be replayed though I've ditched the individual jewel cases to save space and now have them neatly organized in large capacity binders. I wanted to see how this player would work against my AirPods Pro, Bose Soundlink, Sennheiser HD headphones, and Sonos speakers.The Good- This CD Player is rechargeable using USB-C cable, no batteries required- I was able to pair with my Bluetooth devices (AirPods Pro/Bose Soundlink)- The CD player streamed music to my Bose Soundlink from up to 10 feet away- CD player is legit and the quality of the sound is excellent, no skips during my testing- The headphone output can be used to connect it to an external speaker (i.e. Sonos Play 5 or any other equipment that can accept a 3.5mm plug as audio input)Areas That Could Be Improved- Even though the included headphones are advertised to be of premium quality, they did not have enough base (too much treble) and sounded very hallow. This is really unfortunate because they felt good to hold and were very comfortable to wear, they sort of reminded me of my Sony MDRXB50AP wired headphones minus the base.- The FM radio capabilities were frustrating at best. It picked up channels after scanning but the signal was very sensitive to any type of movement of the included headphones so it would cut in and out. Also, it relies on the included headphones as an antenna which I wanted to ditch due to poor sound quality. The FM menu itself is a little slow and for switching stations is frustrating to use. I did not find a way to program any favorite stations. In the end, listening to the FM radio was akin to listening to AM stations due to poor reception and the headphone quality.- The CD player's volume output is low even at the maximum setting. So even when listening through quality headphones wired using my Sennheiser HD600 or via Bluetooth using my AirPods, I am unable to crank up the sound a bit if I want to immerse myself to the music I'm listening to. On the bright side, if you're streaming to a Bluetooth device with it's own volume control, you can amplify the sound through there and the quality of the music is still very good and not distorted.SummaryAs an old school FM Walkman I think this is a fail. There were too many issues from sound, to reception, to the actual interface that just made it not worthwhile for me. However, the CD player functionality in a portable package with Bluetooth capabilities won me over. You will need to bring in your own wired headphones to enjoy the quality of the CD sound and don't expect to be able to crank up the sound beyond medium volume. If you have portable Bluetooth speakers or a system that can take 3.5mm input with volume control, this is where the product shines and will allow you to truly enjoy your old CD collection.As an Amazon Vine Voice, I provide unbiased reviews of products most people would need or want. Ultimately, I balance expectations against price. If an item significantly deviates from it's description or just does not work as intended, I will note this in my review. My sincerest goal is to help buyers make the right choice.

After two tries with different units, I had the same issue of discs not loading and extremely poor operating instructions i gave up. Amazon refunded my purchase price and i am trying a much less expensive unit by another company. It seems to work well. I would not recommend this model.
