I absolutely adore this CD player. The pictures of it were what caught my attention and I immediately loved the style. Who wouldn't love a CD player that looks like a small record player? It has charm and I absolutely love it. Pop in the CD and pull over the arm which activates "CD Mode" and the player takes it from there. The audio quality is amazing. The speakers sound wonderful and play at a great volume, which you can adjust with either the knob or the remote. All your necessary buttons are right on the device and they have a nice, solid click when you press each one. The volume knob also clicks in, allowing you to mute the player. The Bluetooth connectivity is amazing, I've really only used Bluetooth in regards to headphones, but the connection is very solid and continues to sound great even a few rooms away. The FM radio feature is nice to have, although I can't get much reception for more than a very small handful of stations, but I couldn't say if that's because of the device or just my local area maybe not having that many stations. I was utterly shocked to see how many different methods of playback there were added to this device. I've yet to try out the headphone jack, AUX port, USB Mode or the fiber optics port. All-in-all a very wonderful and stylish CD player, which I'm glad to have to help foster my desire to grow a CD collection. Read more
This multi-function CD player is a perfect mix of nostalgic design and modern convenience. It supports CD, Bluetooth, USB, FM radio, and AUX modes, all controlled easily with the included remote. The sound quality is impressive, enhanced by the sealed wooden cabinet and bass boost feature, which lets you fine-tune treble and bass for richer audio. I love the Bluetooth input and output—it works as both a CD player and a Bluetooth speaker. The top-loading design gives it a vintage record player vibe while staying compact and portable. Setup is simple, and the buttons are clearly labeled, making it ideal for both kids and seniors. It’s compatible with multiple formats like CD, CD-R, MP3, and WMA, and the package includes everything you need: power adapter, cables, and remote. Overall, it’s a beautiful, functional, and easy-to-use music player that adds charm to any room. Read more
This is a cool little showcase piece with a little added functionality, but loses a star because, while audible, and somewhat loud, those internal speakers are NOT pleasureable with little to no bass in them. That said, you can export sound out via headphone jack and even toslink (there's a toslink port but I haven't tested it...I hope it's output and not input dear lord!). When sound is exported via headphone jack, it's nice and full with no hum or interference. Bluetooth mode does introduce a minor hum that becomes immediately inaudible once sound starts (provided you're not listening to spoken word or podcasts). It's very low and I have a pet peeve for hum however so trust if I give it a pass. Just know I know so you know. Finally Auxillary, same, pending what's connected. There is a slight delay when starting a cd for some reason before audio comes through whatever you choose (internal or external)...I don't know if it's buffering the track/cd to memory or what but if it's an anti-skip feature that's cool, though you're not operating this without some type of AC adapter or at least a portable battery with sufficient 5v power. Watch the disc spin like a little record is my reason for purchase as the visual in itself is intended for use of that very purpose in the near future. Overall a nice desk or shelf piece when you want to cut the cord and be offline and off grid with your music, and just daze into the hypnotic rotations of whatever compact disc mesmerizes you back to when things weren't so glum. Or alternately, if you want to stick it to the rotary-philiac collectors of vinyl out there, showing compact discs can look cool spinning too and in most cases, sound way better if also way clearer. This is your jam piece central. Just don't insult it. Use your compact disc collection. Not your cd-r collection of half baked kazaa and limewire mp3s, even if converted to WAV for "regular cd players". For one, this doesn't read mp3s on disc like that, you gotta use the USB slot in back for that...and to buy this for that perplexes me. But also, this doesn't convert your CDs to MP3's or USB or SD or anything like that. And I don't think Bluetooth is reversible. That is, you can beam your phone to it and Spotify your hearts content. But it's not connecting via Bluetooth to BT Speakers to make it louder... TLDR: It's a cute scale recreation of a turntable but plays cds instead and they threw in some added functionality. I got mine for $35 on here during some sale Amazon had. Totally worth it even if looking it at the viewpoint of a toy or interactive paperweight. Grab some computer speakers that have 1/8-in headphone male jack connection and this can literally be your bumping home system. ESP if you can tie in a subwoofer somehow. No brainer. Would be 5-stars if you didn't have to do that and the internal speakers they give you didn't sound like giant scissors ready to stab your ear drums. Read more
This player is tiny and powerful and solid. The top is about the size of my average-woman-sized palm with fingers outstretched. I love that it has a small “hand”print. Easily fits on a tiny table. The CD rotates when the arm is positioned over it. This brings back “vinyl era” memories. The remote works well with functions and volume. I attached Bose speakers to the unit and the sound is clear and flawless. I plan to get additional CORONSORT players for my basement, bedroom, and classroom. Read more
I wanted a CD player since I bought a new laptop that did not have a CD unit. While searching online and asking friends, I found this and I liked the design, so I bought it. When I received it, I tested how it worked, and it works really good. It is small and easy to use and the sound quality and volume are good for the price. I have not tried the USB and BT modes nor the FM radio, so I can not say much about them yet, but, so far, I'm happy with it because now I can listen all the CDs I have. :) Read more
Great little machine. It is just what I was looking for. It is very small, but a very good sound. I was going to g to take all my cds to goodwill because I had nothing to play them on. I swear Amazon was listening because this appeared right before me. I ordered it immediately. Very easy to operate. It comes with a remote also. Very good purchase! Read more
