ARAFUNA Portable CD Player with Dual Stereo Speakers, Rechargeable Compact CD Player for Car with Anti-Skip Protection, Headphones and AUX Cable

If you are looking for a simple and easy to use personal CD player that doesn't require to be hooked up to a speaker, you found it. This has a belt-in speaker and best part is it is chargeable. No need to have a supply of batteries ready to use for your CD player. You can still "play" while you are charging if you run out of battery life while in the middle of a good book on CD. But I have to say, the battery life is amazing, and I almost go through a whole book before I run out of battery charge.We picked up this cd player so we can play our books on CD while on a road trip...since car standards don't include a CD player. It has a port for the Audio Aux Cable which plugs right into your car and now you have sound throughout your car as I love doing in my car. However, my husbands car is a newer model and doesn't have the Audio Aux Cable port, instead it uses only bluetooth devices. The only downside to this CD player, it doesn't have bluetooth capability.The speakers have a good range of volume, however in a car with the road noise, it's not loud enough if you are listening to a book on CD that has various voice volumes.The other use I have for my CD Player is while I'm gardening or working outside. I love that it travels and that I can take it with me anywhere and I don't have to use headphones to listen.Overall for my needs, it's great and the price is very reasonable.

I am impressed the included headphones permit selection of music without depressing the buttons on the unit. (Not just normal headphones.) Headphones are ear buds. Fit my ear fine... but I will not be running with these in my ear. The buttons on the unit are backlit, which was a surprise to me. My old player would turn on while in my gym bag. This player has a switch on the side that will lockout button depresses and thus, not turn the unit on. For the price point, this is a great player! The player will play a CD 1 thru 5 times faster. The clarity of the music/words is not choppy when playing at high speed. On many CD players, fast forwarding will result with a skipping sound... and a loss of dialog. This unit is simply plays the music faster. Great for books on CD. Have not tried the card reader. MP3 and regular disk work well.

If this product was released in the '90's, I would've given 10/5 stars because I always hated when the batteries on it died. It's absolutely NOT the case with this portable CD player. Not only is it rechargeable, you can use it while it's charging. The CD player lasts a long time in between charges. I noticed that when you listen to a CD through the end, the CD player will shut off by itself, even if you leave the switch to the "On" position, it will not drain the battery. However, if you "Pause" a track, the CD player will stay on and won't shut off by itself.When I first held this CD player, I was impressed with how sturdy it felt. Since it's mostly plastic, I thought that it would be feel light and cheap. One of my favorite features is the speaker. I have it on my desk and will play music through the speaker. I was impressed that you can use the equalizer to adjust the sound even when using the speaker. The speaker is fairly loud. If you use your own headphones, the sound is really good.If you don't want to keep switching out CD's, you can download music to a micro SD card, and this player will be able to play it because it has a micro SD slot. I've loaded MP3 and WMA formats to a micro SD card and they both play fine. Since the display is LCD, you can't jump in between folders, like on your phone or an MP3 player.Since we're no longer in the '90's and most devices have Bluetooth, this one doesn't support it, which is why I knocked off a star. There would be times when I would like to use a Bluetooth headset, but I can't with this device. The lack of Bluetooth technology, though, isn't a show stopper for me.

really good CD player, I listen to tyler the creator IGOR and it sounds good, plays well, audio quality is good (headphones provided and speakers) easy to use and came with full charge, overall I like it

Use it in my car due to newer ones not coming with a CD player so I play my discs on this. Its easy to use and the speaker on it is pretty decent for the price and size. Easily mobile for use anywhere.

I bought this to wear when I walk, and also to use in my car because my in car player will no longer load. The unit feels pretty solid, and hasn't skipped once when I have been walking or driving. The speakers are loud enough for me to hear even when the unit is inside the "fanny pack" I also purchased, which is perfect, and the auxiliary jack lets me use the car speakers which is a great option. I have used it for several days now and it still has most of the original charge, but it is certainly easy enough to charge. The equalizer is a nice touch, with a variety of settings. I am very happy with this purchase, and highly recommend this CD player.
