Oakcastle CD100 Rechargeable Bluetooth CD Player | 12hr Portable Playtime | In Car Compatible Personal CD Player | Headphones Included, AUX Output, Anti-Skip Protection, Custom EQ, CD100 (Black)

Player arrived on time, and - I think - is a good price. I've already been using a Majority sound bar for a couple of years, so I was hopeful that this little player would be of similar quality. I haven't had it long enough to test it thoroughly, but have been able to pair it with my bluetooth ear buds quite easily. The sound quality is good, with several equaliser settings, and the volume goes very high with little or no distortion. The build quality is also good, and the player feels quite substantial without being "clunky". The player comes with a separate in-line control to use with wired ear buds if you wish (provided), a C-type usb cable, and a short auxiliary cable for connecting to other gadgets if bluetooth isn't an option. . I bought this item to play MP3 discs of vintage radio programmes as well as music CDs, and so far it plays both excellently. It also comes with a free 3 year warranty, which I'll be sure to apply for!

easy to use. well made, great sound for a good price

This is a modern "discman", which is what I was looking for. It works well so far after a month. I have only used it with my own earphones, and with those it seems to pick out the bass parts in music CDs very well - a little too well for some, I suspect. However, I quite like that effect. It does have a few preset EQ settings, which are quite varied, but still bassy. The sound is solid and firm, not in any way tinny. If it keeps on working, then it's definitely worth the money - time will tell, but so far so good. All in all, it's pretty simple to operate, though if you want something to play in your car, this may not be for you, as, despite my best efforts I can't get it to play through the sound system in my car, either via bluetooth or the AUX socket. Maybe it works in some cars, but not mine. Luckily that's not really why I bought it, but I've knocked a star off for it. One minor issue - to open the player you have to push a slider on the side, rather than a press button. At first I found this irritating, but now realise that it does prevent accidentally opening the player on the move.

Great piece of equipment for the price. Great quality. I did find it hard to use Bluetooth with this but just works as well with the cable provided. Love listening to my CDs on it whilst my husband watches the football.

I've already listened to a very long album about five times, and the battery is holding up brilliantly, just went down from three to two bars. It starts playing automatically as soon as you close the hatch, and it even remembers your last playback position when you pop the CD back in. The bluetooth mode also works great. The buttons feel solid with no wobble, and the equaliser is decent, with all the classic playback modes included. The only minor downside is the analogue volume wheel. I accidentally blasted my ears when I first plugged in my headphones, as it was set to maximum volume. This isn't something we're really used to checking these days, with digital volume controls being the norm. A digital volume option, or at least a default-safe setting, would be a welcome improvement. Still, overall, a brilliant device that delivers exactly what it promises.

I write this first sentence every time I buy anything made by Majority / Oakcastle: "Absolutely stunning for the price!" I have no idea how they develop these products so well and sell them so cheap. I have just bought a new car, and being a neanderthal, had no idea they no longer came with CD players, which annoyed me. So, I needed a solution. My last foray into the world of portable CD players was around 20 years ago so I wasn't expecting much. I saw this one from a brand that I trusted and added bonus of Bluetooth. On unboxing I was impressed at how cool it looked. As always with these brands, they come with every cable you will need. I charged it, played around with pairing different devices over Bluetooth, then tested it. The sound is unbelievable (and I'm an audiophile). I honestly wasn't expecting it to sound so good. The controls are all intuitive, but the most impressive thing (other than the sound) was that I could walk around with it with no interruption or disc skipping at all! To test properly,I took my dogs out for a walk whilst playing a CD. It did not lose Bluetooth connection or interrupt the playing at all. In summary, as usual, utterly gob smacked at how good this player is, regardless of price!

This is not a bad little disc man for its price at around 39 quid. It has all the features you need, easy to set up and link to Bluetooth devices, though sometimes when you’re changing CD it does lose connection, not a game changer though. nicely built, nice and light to carry or drop in a bag. I bought it mainly for the Bluetooth connection, as headphones with this in the box are your basics, but at least they will get you going. Battery life not bad again for the price you wouldn’t expect much more. The only downside I really have with this product, and again this is probably down to the price point at 39 quid, is that when listening on headphones via Bluetooth and or through a Bluetooth speaker or speakers, between tracks, and if you pause the machine, you can hear the spinning motor for the disc, as clearly at this price point they haven’t used top quality internal parts, and obviously shielding isn’t very good, but, you can’t hear this over the music when playing so again, for 39 quid it’s a good little machine, but don’t expect quality at this price if you want quality sound, then you’ll have to pay quality prices! This is a good little starter machine, and is a convenient Bluetooth streaming CD device for taking you back into your memories to play your old physical hands-on CDs

Purtroppo ho dovuto restituirlo. Acquistato per essere collegato tramite bluetooth alla VW T-Cross, ma il bluetooth non è compatibile/riconosciuto dall'auto.

Sehr gutes Gerät. Preis Leistung stimmt für mich.

Uitstekende service van bestelling tot levering.

Très bonne article pour le prix. Juste un petit détail pour la recherche de piste un peu délicate
