As a CD player it is fine. I wanted to Bluetooth it to car system. I could not get enough volume for success. This may have been my problem. I will keep the player because I am old and I like CD's. I switched to an MP3 for my car hook up.

I enjoy audiobooks when I travel but my new car did not have a CD player. They seem to be a thing of the past in cars. So I found this CD player which I can bluetooth to my Bose speaker. So I still get to enjoy my books!!!

I love this player so much that I bought a second one for home, the first one was for work. The controls are simple to use and it plays my mp3 cds very well. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a portable cd player.

My new car does not have a player and I have a zillion cd's. So I chose this one. Has a cool Dynamic Base Boost, and will read scratched disc as well. Last fair on batteries, but I will find a 4.0v 12 volt adaptor.

Not for good music listening. The sound is all treble. No bass. No stereo sound. This cd player would only be fine for listening to books, teaching, or motivation talks on cd. I had an excellent portable Sony cd player but left it behind when I moved thinking that I could just reorder another one. It had great stereo sound and good listening setting options. Terrible mistake not bringing it along! I won't find another like it. Now moving on to the MP3 device to download music digitally.

So happy with this! My mother loves her CDs and was sad when she purchased a new car without a CD player in it. This was super easy to set up and allows her to play her CDs through her vehicle!

I purchased this portable CD after returning an unworkable CD player from Amazon. Never thought Id buy a CD player again but needed it for mindfulness practice, using bio-lateral CD's. Works great.

When using Bluetooth to transmit, skips the first letter on many sentences on a book on disc. The would be he; carrots would be arrots. Annoying! I returned and replaced, but problems still existed. Also batteries are very hard to replace.

It's great in a relatively quiet environment, but using it in the car, where in my state, earbuds are no allowed, an external speaker limits the volume.

Very easy to use. I like the way it remembers where it was on the CD when I restart it the next time I use it. This worked even after I changed batteries,

This is a complete piece of junk. You have to buy the power cord separately. And you will need it, because two AA batteries last about one hour. I have a multi-size dc adaptor with 7 different connector sizes. None of them fit. The Bluetooth wouldn’t connect to our speaker. Save your money.

Maybe you’re like me. You bought dozens of CD’s back in the day and have not gotten around to ripping many of the songs you like off them. Now you want to listen to a CD, but since your current player doesn’t have Bluetooth you have to go through the house trying to find a cord to connect it to your speaker.
You won’t have that problem with this Memorex player, it has Bluetooth built right in, so now in addition to using your current Bluetooth speaker to listen to songs on your smartphone, you can use this device to listen to all your CD’s as well.
It comes with two AA batteries, so you don’t have to search for those. Just pop them in, push the play button and then press the Bluetooth button to pair. My speaker found the player immediately and I was set to go. There’s a digital readout of course to find the cut you want.
It has a “program” button, so you can select the cuts you want to listen to in the order you’d like. You can also push the ‘electronic skip protection’ button to give you a 40 second buffer in case you are moving the player while listening. I really don’t think that buffer is even necessary, I shook the player while it was playing with the skip protection off and it never missed a beat. It’s nice that it’s there though.
The player comes with wired ear buds with three different tip sizes if you want to listen privately. There’s also a “bass booster” on the device, but I really didn’t hear much difference on several different recordings.
There’s no power button on the player. Push “play” and the unit comes to life. The unit will turn itself off after a few minutes after the player stops. I find this both good and bad. Good, in that you don’t have to remember to turn off the player to keep from wasting battery power. Bad, because when the player shuts off, it loses Bluetooth connection and you have to re-pair every time you turn it back on. This is not a big deal at all, just something you should know.
Bottom line, I’m going to use this player often because of the number of CD’s I bought back in the day. It’s easy to use and for under 30 dollars it’s a great buy.

Let me say this first, I miss having to listen to a CD in the car. A newer model car doesn't come with CD player anymore so you are stuck with what you have on your phone. Most people have no preference. They are satisfied with listening to their music through anything they can. I am a lot more picky about my music listening experience. I like to be able to listen to all the nuance that you can't hear from streaming. CD sound is still better (maybe not compare to vinyl). I am not particularly concern about the brand but i know Memorex is a good brand. This particular model is no different. It has a good sound as you expect for a decent walkman. There are some improvement that I really like. First of all, it has 40 second skip protection. I remember the one I had a long time ago had a 10 second skip protection. With 40 second, you guarantee to have an uninterrupted listening, unless you are going through a huge bump. I connected this device to my card using auxiliary cable. This model has a bluetooth capabilities, which is another plus. Unfortunately, I am still unable to pair it with with my car's bluetooth. But i was successful in pairing it with my home stereo receiver and my Beat Solo wireless. The pairing process is not as smooth as I expected. It takes a while for the device to pair with the receiver and the headphone so be patient. Other than that, everything comes standard like any other walkman that I have owned before. The LCD display tells you of the song number you are playing and how long it has been playing. It requires 2 AA battery but you also have the option of connecting it using adapter. Unfortunately that part doesn't come with it. You can easily get that at any electronic store especially if you want to use it in your car. It does come with a very cheap headphone which I toss right away. If you really want to listen to music, invest in a better headphone, The walkman itself is priced at a reasonable price. I would recommend this product for the price and for the bluetooth feature.
