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

I think this is an excellent portable CD player in terms of features and functionality. The display is clear and easy to read and I really like the design of having the buttons positioned around the screen - it makes the CD player really easy to use. Car functionality is very good either via FM transmitter or Bluetooth. Easy to set up and sound quality is very good. The bundled earphones are terrible but they always are. Otherwise a really good CD player that genuinely works very well in the car - as someone who has lots of CDs still, it really frustrates me that modern cars have done away with CD players. Even if you just want a solid performing personal CD player to use out and about or at home this is a great option.

A strange item. Useful in the car if you want to access your old CDs (so probably for any of us 'nearly middle aged' folk. The CD doesn't skip however and connecting to blue tooth was easy. It is however a little niche as so many now using a streaming service and have no need for the CDs. but it is good for children's stories and other things you get on CDs not as readily available on streaming platforms. Its a reasonable price but not a well known make so that might put people off. I don't think anyone uses wired headphones now either so that bit lets it down slightly too. Generally ok, but might be an item you 'forget' you own after a while and shove in a cupboard.

I am old school in that I still have an extensive collection of CD's some ripped from downloads and a great many originals...I have always been a fan of the clean sound of CDs, so I have never been tempted to go back to Vinyl as many have...My first portable CD player was the original Sony Discman and what a beast that was...So I took the option of taking this portable CD player and teaming it up with my collection of Bluetooth speakers...By using the earphone jack and connecting a 3.5 mm cable between it and the 3.5 mm port on my Harman Kardan GO Play +3.The SQ was excellent with plenty of punchy bass, and nice clean, crisp detailed mids and high frequencies, you also have a 6-mode EQ which I set to the BBS setting,the vocals came in clean and clear, and the instruments came with clear definition.All the 11 function buttons found on the front surrounding the LCD display are all of a good size and are clearly marked for easy use.The LCD display is crammed with info from track length/Remaining,EQ setting,and battery indicator among them...You also have the option of using the player in your car either via a 3.5 mm connection/Bluetooth/FM...You can also use the TF card slot to record your CD's to a SD card ...In the box comes a set of headphones.3.5 mm cableAnd as the player comes with a rechargeable battery you get a USB-A-USB-C charging cable.And a carrying case and also a proper user manual with clear and concise instructions on how to use the player to its best.You get a lot on top of the CD player what with its in-home and in-car use,to good quality accessoriesBut most important the crisp clear sound of CD's , so dust of your collection and join me.

This review is for the item described as “KLIM Journey + 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”.I was excited to receive this portable CD player and see just how simple it would be to operate so I used my octogenarian mum as a test subject to see if she could use it. I set it up for her, simply by connecting her wireless Beats Solo headphones which was effortless, then showed her how to open it to load the CD, and ran through the basic controls including stop, skip, and volume. I also showed her the EQ button and how she could cycle through the different settings. She likes jazz and classic, so she could choose which setting best suits what she’s listening to. She didn’t need to touch any of the other controls. She has lots of CDs but in recent years hasn’t been able to listen to them as my dad doesn’t like having music on in the house and as they have both got more elderly, she seldom has the house to herself. Having the wireless option is great as she can leave the CD player sitting on the kitchen work counter while she makes the dinner or does some housework without disturbing him.I really wanted a basic CD player, and this ticks all the boxes but if you want bells, whistles and lots of other features and functions, you have that too. It’s lightweight, the sound quality is superb to my ears, it doesn’t skip when you move it, comes with great wired headphones (although we prefer to use our wireless ones), and really the only thing I would change is to have the display brighter. It dims quickly so in order to see the display with my middle-aged eyes, I have to alter the volume or press another button to make the display bright enough again to check what track number I’m on for example.I haven’t tested it in the car - I’m coming at this as a not very techy person who just wants to occasionally listen to some old CDs that aren’t on Spotify. I’m delighted with this. There is a fun leaflet bit of nonsense in the box which gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling towards the company, a case, all the cables you need and a five year warranty. I’m happy to recommend and might even let my mum use it once in a while!

I am super pleased with this KLIM. As I'm writing this it is playing a CD via Bluetooth through our hi fi system. Sounds fantastic.The device itself is mechanically quiet, I can only hear it operating in between tracks because it's literally right beside me.I'm amazed that I can pick this unit up while it's playing and handle it quite roughly trying to emulate a four wheel drive car on rough terrain. I don't understand how it hasn't skipped at all!The functions available like the equaliser etc all work very well and even the volume control works over the Bluetooth connection absolutely fine. I don't have to touch the amp. Perfect for us. Very convenient.
