My new car doesn’t have a CD player so I needed something to play the books on CDs that I check out of the library. This player does the trick, though I can’t easily change the discs while I’m driving. It comes with a charging cord that plugs into one of my car’s ports, so I don’t need to worry about batteries or losing charge. It’s small enough to fit into my center console when I need it out of sight. The only other negative I have is volume. The sound is coming out of the player, not my car’s speakers, and, while I can usually hear it, noisy traffic tends to overpower it at times. However, the price was surprisingly low, and the player does exactly what I needed it to do: play those CD mystery stories I’ve become addicted to while I’m driving.

Perfect size - sound - clarity & price. Would have been glad to pay more if there was a way to plug into wall outlet to charge -
constantly buying batteries is a BIG turn-off for an otherwise PERFCT item!!!!. You made the battery companies sup;er happy

I love my little CD player from Best Buy.
I have it in my fort attached to two little speakers. It is where I go to relax and getaway for the worries of the day.
It fill the space with beautiful sound that add to the escape and calm environment. I enjoy the peace and harmony. I have a lot of CDs that I’m revisiting and it is a great way to hear them bringing back memories. Thank you.

Nice inexpensive CD player. It takes a couple seconds to power up but works well. It does not come with a charger from wall power receptacles but I was able to buy a $4 USB to DC cable adapter on eBay. The power jack size is 3.5mmx1.35mm and I used one of my many 4 to 5V phone charger transformers with a USB output (technically it uses 4.5V 600 mAh). Or you can buy the power charger from iLive for $10.

This CD player is awesome! It plays normal CDs and CD-Rs! idk if it plays the other type of CD though. It fits perfectly in my pocket! One bad think about it, the batteries die pretty fast basic AA batteries last about 6 hours maybe a little less or a little more. I love listening to The Smiths on this! Perfect for long road trips and just out and about! I highly recommend!

Not bad for an affordable CD player. It does skip if you move around. So, if you're sitting still listening to a CD, it'll be fine. Also, the earphones that come with this player are rather cheap, so I'm using other headphones which gives it a better sound quality.

This product is great. I wish it was listed that you can only listen to it with headphones, otherwise I would not have gotten it- I prefer to not wear earbuds when listening to music. But the actual product works great and I have had no issues with it thus far!

I hooked it up in my RV because it had no CD player, and it has worked well. It would be even better if several CDs could be inserted, but for my purpose, it works fine.

It's small, portable, and lightweight,as advertised. And it works perfectly for my needs: connecting it to a PA system via the headphone jack. It also dispels the myth that you can't find CD players anymore, invalidating the "I don't buy CDs because I can't buy a CD player anymore" excuse.

This is a well made device. Good quality sound, sturdy and easy to use. Great value. It was a gift to a person who loves her cd's and has limited mobility. So happy BB still makes them in this age of streaming.

Excellent unit. Would be nice if also had a/c adapter included. Disappointed that I received order with two, old batteries (Vivoc brand - never heard of) that died after only playing CD for 1 hour.

It is what it is, a cheap personal cd player. Works the way it should, and the sound is good for a cheap player. Just wish the ear buds weren't as cheap as they are.
