ARAFUNA Portable CD Player with Dual Stereo Speakers, Rechargeable CD Player for Car with Anti-Skip Protection, CD Portable Player with 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.

I’m old and needed a cd player for the RV. Works really well. Sometimes I could use a little more volume, but it’s worked great for 2 round trip drives to California (from OH). Glad to be able to listen to my tunes. Easy to use. No skips. Good sound for such a little device.

This seemed like a good CD player, but it didn't work for my needs or wants. I had purchased this to try ro imuse in my car, which does not have a CD player, nor an AUX input. I tried to plug it into my car using the USB plug, but it did not play through my car's speakers as I had hoped it would. It played through the device's speaker instead. Aside from my not being able to use it as I had hoped, it still seemed like a good, quality device. It played well, and I didn't notice any skips. But, I also did not keep it very long, since it didn't work for my needs. But if anyone is looking for a good stand-alone CD player, then try this one out. Just be wary that it won't work in a car that doesn't have an AUX input to play through the car's speakers, if that's your goal.

This CD/TF player is pretty neat, easy to operate and decent sound coming out of built in speakers. I received this player for about 6 days. Day 1 just set it up played a bit for about 30 min. and nothing happened. Day 2, busy so did not touch it. On day 3, played it for about one hour in the evening through the TF card, it felt a bit too warm to the touch, I thought it a bit unusual for a player less than a week old to get so warm so I turned it off to let it cool down. Next day I tried to play it again and keen an eye out for the temperature, believe it or not... After an hour or so playing it through the TF card, the player now getting warmer than the day before, all tracks played fine, no skipping. Start, stop works fine but just too hot to touch at bottom of this unit. I've portable CD, DVD player before from other brands and it lasted for years without the overheating issue like this unit. Anyway rather than taking a risk of cannot return after 30 days... I've decided to return this player and buy another player with this same brand. Keep my fingers crossed, hopefully I will have better luck with the 2nd unit.

I cannot say enough about how awesome this player is for listening to my cd collection. My car is new, but no cd player. I was tired of not being able to find anything on the radio. I got this yesterday morning, put in a cd and turned on the power. The sound is better than I expected. I used it in my car today and no skipping even going over railroad tracks. Tomorrow I will use the aux cable to play through my car speakers. I am beyond excited to be able to listen to my cds again while in the car.

It is shocking to me that this product has generally positive reviews. This is my experience with this CD player. I have purchased this CD player 3 times. Yes, 3. 1st purchase - When I first got it, it worked great. I loved it. After a few weeks, it started to glitch. Sometimes it wouldn't play certain CDs at all. Always, it would take several minutes to start working after being turned on. Eventually, I accidentally dropped it and it completely shattered. My fault, but clearly lacking durability for something that's going to be carried around. I assumed - because of the good reviews - that the glitches were an anomaly and I vowed to be more careful so I decided to buy it again. 2nd purchase - Worked fine, no glitches. I was happy with it. I used it primarily in my car. I kept it on the seat next to me while driving. Well, I stopped a little short one day and it slid from the seat to the floor. Welp. The release that opens the CD player got damaged and the entire thing became unusable. Again, I didn't drop it out of a window. Just a 1 foot drop onto the car floor and this thing was toast. Somehow, I convinced myself to buy it again, vowing this time I would be extremely careful. That's how much I wanted a portable CD player with speakers. 3rd purchase - No, I didn't drop it at all, basically treating it like it was made of eggshells. Somehow, after about a week, it just stopped working. Any CD I put in it, it would not play, giving some error message instead. I have to believe that either I have been extraordinarily unlucky with the product, or the positive reviews are all from people who used it once or twice before things started to go wrong. This thing is a lemon.
