Groov-e RETRO Compact CD Player - Personal Music Player with CD-R & CD-RW Playback - Anti-Skip Protection, Programmable Tracks - Earphones Included - Micro-USB or Battery Powered - Black

I was not looking for a top rate player but just one for everyday use with a good reproduction and volume and this proved to fit my requirement at a very reasonable and low cost. The only drawback was the quality of the earphones which were poor and did not preform well but use of my existing headphones resolved this problem.

Brillant

MicroUSB / USBC cable is NOT included. There are at least 2 instances of the description saying that the cable is included in the box but it isn’t. This isn’t a huge problem, just misleading. Works great, looks cool. I didn’t even attempt to use the included earphones as I knew the sound would be terrible, but with my own headphones the quality is impressive.

Nice and compact which lets us have music when and where we want

I got this personal CD player a few weeks ago. I took it with me as I was travelling south by coach. It only plays one track then cuts out. I tried different CD and got the same result. So disappointed.

I bought this retro player to be able to listen to my huge collection of cds while doing other things without annoying my son with my choice of music. I'd bought Groove products before and was over the moon with those, but this retro personal CD player, not so much. I put brand new rechargeable batteries in and used the headphones that came with it. Sound was very tinny so swapped for my cheap earbuds and got way better sound. It even sounded louder. Sound was even better, and slightly louder, when the player was plugged into my portable mini speaker. However, it didn't get through one song before it started to 'hitch'/'hiccup' - and it it kept doing it. Thought it might have been the batteries failing so put player into plug socket but still had hic ups - in every song. Tried 3 different cds ALL had the same issue - even when flat on a table. So how it would be while walking around I dread to think.... and I'm not even going to try. I'm unimpressed with this player and not sure how long it will last before dying. Yes it's cheap - but for the price I paid it needs to work properly. Is that to much ask?

This arrived promptly in perfect condition. Love the way it's so easy to use, and the colour (I chose blue). I use my own headfones for optimum sound quality. Sound is great Getting the battery out is fiddly, takes patience. Overall love it.

I'd previously ordered another portable cd player from Amazon as a Christmas present. I think the brand was oakcastle if I'm not mistaken. Based on the reviews I was expecting an ok cd player. Given that it was something like £35 I paid. However I had to return it as I just couldn't get it to work. There was no problems at all returning it, Amazon were very good. I was sceptical about ordering this brand (another no name I heard if brand) I thought I'd give it a whirl I can only return if its not working. Let me make it clear though I was getting in a right tizzy trying to find a cd player, just a normal portable cd player like you used to get back in the 90s. I was pondering if to go with a Philips one I came across but something was telling me to go for this make instead. When it came we tried it and there were no issues at all, well what I could find anyway. I wanted a simple one as it's for my mentally disabled uncle. He loves music, it's easy for him to work. He's exceptionally happy, which inturn makes me happy.

At around $11 it beats $100 unit ! Groov-e plays CD's that others won't Play !

I purchased this item and returned it back as it has a malfunction and does not run audio CDs. Also, the casing is very cheap and of low quality.

No se oye muy alto, pero bueno por el precio no está mal.

J'ai acheté se produit car je possède une tour Bluetooth dock iPod et je voulait pouvoir écouter mes cds avec la tour et c'est le cas .Le produit et simple d'utilisation plutôt complet pour un produit de base au niveau du menu rien de bien compliquait fonctionne avec des piles ( non fournis ) moi personnellement j'ai acheté un chargeur mural avec prise usb et sur le lecteur cd il y a une prise charge universelle et c'est parfait .je vous conseil le bloc alimentation goobay ( photo jointe ) qui est absolument parfait et complet . J'ai branché mon lecteur cd sur les entrées rouge et blanche derrière la tour et sur le lecteur cd sur la prise casque et ensuite position auxiliaire sur la tour et c'est que du bonheur .Budget lecteur cd 25 euros et chargeur 16.99 euros ...
