KLIM Journey - Portable CD Player Walkman with Long-Lasting Battery - New - with Headphones - Radio FM - Compatible MP3 CD Player Portable - SD Card, FM Transmitter, Bluetooth - Ideal for Cars - Black

Really cool! Purchased for my kids for a road trip. Has too many settings to be kid friendly. However, for an adult, easy to use, loads of listening options. I love that it has radio, bluetooth and cd. Battery life is excellent! It runs for days! Definitely worth the money.

This portable cd player is fabulous! Sounds great with my wireless Samsung galaxy earbuds, and I can see the controls even in the dark. I purchased a few different portable cd players to test (and keep for various purposes) after I recently rediscovered my music cd collection (probably about 100 or so of various albums/genres including rock, pop, new wave, alternative, techno, country, soundtracks, blues, jazz, classical, etc.). It’s hard to believe that it has been over 10 years since I listened to any of them (once I switched to digital content on Apple devices - mainly playlists of favorite singles rather than whole albums). This portable cd player is the one. My favorite. My ultimate checklist included good performance/sound for its size, quality build, back-lit controls to see in dim lighting, fm radio when the mood strikes, the ability to connect wireless Bluetooth headphones, and all for a reasonable price. This one was the most expensive, but it has met all of my wants and expectations. The equalizer settings are a bonus with the variety of music cds that I have. Controls are fairly intuitive. At least I haven’t had to resort to reading the instructions yet. It’s nice that I have the option of recording to a micro sd card though I doubt I’ll use that feature. I’m still testing battery life, but I usually don’t wait until batteries are drained to plug in my devices. I’m pretty consistent with keeping my tech charged up and ready to go. I definitely recommend this portable cd player. And I’ll be sure to update my review if my opinion changes for any reason.

I really wanted to give this player 5 stars, but cannot. First, all the good or rather very good stuff. For this 75 year old reviewer, the audio quality of this CD player is really, really very good. Whether listening on Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, headphones or on my Honda Pilot (2017) audio system, everything sounded pretty damn good to me. Plus the 7 preset equalizer modes all add beneficial tweaks to what you hear listening to different genres of music. A real plus there! Connectivity to Bluetooth was easy for all my devices. All various Bluetooth speakers and earbuds connected quickly with no issues at all. Connecting to my 2017 Honda Pilot was by auxiliary and Bluetooth. I didn’t bother with fm connection on my Honda as I wasn’t interested in doing by fm. Bluetooth connectivity on the Honda was easy after I realized the Honda setup required me to disable my phone Bluetooth first. I guess the Honda only allows one connection at a time. I was fine with that. The Bluetooth connection sounded great on the Honda. The auxiliary connection did as well also. The player also plays those “TF” cards. They’re kind of a mini SD card. I setup a 2 gb card as a test. The manual states the player supports up to a 64 gb card. I loaded on 5 different albums and a 100 song playlist. I placed each in their own separate folder, labeled by title of course, and decided to copy the music files as mp3 format at 320 kbps, for this test. Learning curve in figuring out how to choose the particular album to listen to, but I caught on fairly quick. Well, the music sounded just great to me. I couldn’t be more satisfied. So, thus far this KLIM Journey CD player is just great. It is performing flawlessly for me. I like the compact size of this player. The buttons are a good size and function well with a solid response. There is a slight learning curve understanding what they do but that’s to be expected. The buttons light up to use as well as the display window. All nice and bright. They light up long enough to accomplish what you need and turn off after awhile. Nice. Oh, I almost forgot. This player also has FM radio that I put through its paces and I was able to get quite a few stations coming in nice and strong, clear sounding! Again, learning curve, but very doable. I spent a lot of time with the manual by my side running this player through its various features. On that I will say that the manual could be a little more straightforward in explaining things and the icons should be printed twice as large for my taste, but I wouldn’t take a star away for that as everything you need to get this player up and running is there. Which brings me to where I had a reason to knock off a star in my review. The battery!! KLIM states this player will give 8 to 14 hours of battery playback. Not in my experience. The best I could achieve was 6 1/2 hours. That was accomplished by using the supplied 3.5 mm cable to connect my speaker or use plug in earbuds or headphones. Anything Bluetooth, the best I could get was 5 1/2 hours of playback before the battery drained out. I suppose 5 or 6 hours should be ok, I guess. But, when the sales point says 8 to 14 hours, I’ll be a stickler and say that one should at least be getting the 8 hours as the minimum. So, I find the battery life disappointing. On that note, I will say that I contacted KLIM and they agreed that the battery should be performing better and they sent me another unit within a few days. They were very responsive and very nice to chat with. Unfortunately, the second player has performed the same as the first. The battery just can’t seem to give me any better than 6 1/2 hours of playback. At the price point of this player I will keep it as I really like the quality audio sound this player produces. It is well built and extremely compact and easily portable. KLIM did not require me to return the first unit, so actually I at least will get 14 hours of playback by continually swapping between the 2 units every 5 or 6 hours as the battery drains out. Fair enough! I do recommend the KLIM Journey CD player. Highly recommend. Just be aware that the battery may or may not deliver the 8 to 14 hours of playback . The player audio sounds better than any portable CD player I’ve owned previously. This players’ anti-skipping technology was great, I didn’t experience any skipping during playback at all. In closing I will say again that the tech support at KLIM was top notch and responded in reasonable time frame. I give them 5 stars for their customer support!

Delivery was very fast & arrived on 3/30/2025 in new, unopened, undamaged manufacturer's packaging. Sound is acceptable with my Sony earphones and Sony headphones (seem better than supplied earphones to me - especially for fit). Equalizer has a very good selection of choices that improve sound from earphones or car radio. Happily, BT paired seamlessly to my 2019 Ranger Lariat & 2021 Honda CR-V Touring. Just start the player pairing process. Then, start the car's pairing process for a new device for them to find each other. The KLIM does display the car's name on the unit's LCD screen to select. Once paired, exit back to the car radio and select BT as the source & KLIM as the device. I did this the 1st time with my phone turned off to save the KLIM unit in the car's BT device list. The FM transmitter to play CDs thru car radio worked except 79.3 is too low on the car radio dial & 93.6 does not end in an odd decimal number. The FM radio on KLIM Journey works fine with tune or search features. The KLIM unit keeps playing a CD when plugged into a charger. I used an old phone charger/power supply to keep the amps closer to 1.0. Haven't tried a TF/SD card for play or record yet. I didn't buy this player for those functions. But, it is amazing that they are available. I love this product so far and hope it lasts a long time (so long as I don't drop it of course). The quality and features are fantastic in this price range and has highly positive reviews.

A Great CD Player. Sounds great. Has no built-in speakers but it comes with earbuds and has a port for speakers too. It feels well made and sturdy for a small CD Player. It has different modes too like Bluetooth and a Radio player, despite its not very good but most arent very good. It lasts quite a while too. Skipping between songs is usually quite accurate. Came with a case which is very handy indeed. For the price its great and definitely recommend!

Excellent quality and great performance, very satisfied with the purchase!!

Very satisfied with quality and possibilities of the device. Good sound quality. Very happy to play my oldschool cds.. Just one minus: I thought that the buttoms are backlit but they are not.

I haven't owned a portable CD player in years but I had been thinking on getting back into listening to CD's on the go. I am surprised at how feature packed this one is, I wasn't sure if it would work with Bluetooth headphones but after a bit of finicking around I was able to connect them, I was also able to connect to the car radio with Bluetooth no problem as well. Sound quality over Bluetooth is pretty great, I didn't experience any weird glitching or sound issues and the compression was very minimal from what I can tell. Playing CD's over FM to the car was also a surprisingly useful feature too, I tried it in my friends 80s car with it's original radio and was able to lock in a clear signal, the sound quality is noticeably lower than with Bluetooth though, about on par with an FM station with 4 75% reception, still very listenable, just with a bit of minor static here and there. I also tried out the SD reader, I loaded up a card with some MP3's and some FLAC's, it read all the MP3's just fine and most of my FLAC files worked too, though a few didn't, I assume it's because they were a much higher resolution and it didn't like them. Anti-Skip also works like a treat, I had to bang the thing pretty hard with my hand to get it to skip, I also did a jog with it and it didn't skip at all, so that's very useful, especially if you're using it in a car where I also had no problems with it skipping. Overall this is an insanely feature packed CD player and I absolutely adore it, I would happily give it a glowing recommendation
