KLIM Nomad - New Version - Portable CD Player Walkman with Long-Lasting Battery - with Headphones - Radio FM - Compatible MP3 CD Player Portable - TF Card Radio FM Bluetooth - Ideal for Cars - Grey

The KLIM Nomad is of good quality. The build seems solid and not flimsy including door opening and closing. The buttons have a good feel and make good contact. The display is easy to read and pleasingly, back-lit; a luxury after years with unlit minidisk displays. The sound quality is good to my ear. (I'm 60 and used to work in night clubs so make of that what you will.) I have played music using the line out and the sound is good on a couple of sets of small speakers I own. It sounds great on my big stereo in the house. I have a Bluetooth to FM device in my car and it sounds fine through that. Connecting was not a problem although the seller did warn of potential problems with some bluetooth implentations. I bought this player to play CD audio, mp3 CDs and to use the card socket. All options sound great. Navigation works well and the DIR button will jump you to the next directory on the current media, where present. One slight quirk I found was when navigating directories on the SD card: it doesn't seem to take you the beginning of the directory. Instead, it drops you into the middle of it. I haven't found any pattern yet but my files do confirm to all sensible conventions in terms of naming and metadata so I don't know what's going on there. It is a minor inconvenience. I was pleased to find that the player will remember the point where you pressed stop or turned the unit off, whether that is on disk or solid state storage. I haven't let the player battery go flat though so I don't know if you'd lose your place in that instance. The Nomad defaults to CD when turned on, so if you're listing to content from the SD card and you turn the unit off, it will default back to the CD when restarting. Selecting the card with the mode button will bring you back to the last listened track on the card. (You might be able to fix this 'issue' by removing the CD but I like to have both media on standby and I haven't tried it.) The unit will also connect to previous Bluetooth devices and start playing by default. I turn it on when I start my car and within a few seconds my music selection is playing. Most convenient! I have not tried the FM radio in the device or the supplied headphones, so I can't comment on those, although the headphones look like they might be decent quality. I also haven't had the Nomad on a long, continuous play just yet so I can't really comment on the battery longevity, although so far it seems okay. I thought at one point that I may have made a mistake buying the white unit. I handled it with dirty hands and marked the player but it cleaned up well with a damp, soapy cloth. If I have one complaint about this unit, it would be that I was expecting more from the DIR button. Pressing DIR will take you to the next directory but that could become a bit tedious if you were trying to navigate a card with over 100 directories on it, as I have. I would have liked, even hoped, the DIR button would bring up a list of directories through which you could navigate before selecting the one you want. Alas, it doesn't do that but that is my only significant complaint. The saving grace is that every time you turn on the player, it picks up where it left off. I tend to work my way through my music collection from one end to the other so I will probably be happy to just let it play until it gets to the end. Overall, this is a great little player. I think it is excellent value for the price.

Voor de prijs erg goede portable cd-speler. Goed geluid. ESP werkt behoorlijk goed. Ook Bluetooth, maar het instellen ging minder vlot dan gedacht. Maar optie kabel is beschikbaar. Snel geleverd door Amazon. Beveel ik aan.

Prodotto eccezionale, per chi ha la nostalgia di questo formato e continua a mantenere una collezione di CD che ascolta è un must assoluto. Buona durata batterie, stabilità nella riproduzione, bel design, una chicca l'uscita cuffie doppia, e tante altre piccole cose che fanno la differenza (anche degli ottimi auricolari compresi nella confezione di serie). Si percepisce la passione di chi ha fatto questo prodotto.

When connected via FM; we set it at station 100.1..... works great. Using this rather than Bluetooth, it will mute the CD music when a call comes in.... GREAT PRODUCT!

Like the waterproof feature, case is good size and strap is handy.
