Bluetooth CD Player Instant Disk Audio-CP1 (Black)

This product was originally only sold in Japan so the instructions are in Japanese. English instructions would be nice but not necessary. The top mounted buttons are shaped to represent the operation function. There are two slide switches on the back. The top switch has three playback positions. Loop play one track, play complete CD, loop play CD. The bottom switch allows you to lock out the operation buttons. The player connects easily to a Bluetooth speaker and is solid. The LED display is very bright and stands out. I have the black version. The player stops and restarts during playback but this is how it operates due to a 40 second memory buffer. The audio is continuous even when the disc has stopped. I am very happy with the unit. My only issue is there was no option to buy the wall bracket. They are available via Ebay.

I get it, sometimes minimalism comes at a price, and this is a nice-looking, well-working, although a bit too plasticky, well-built CD player. BUT, it drives me bonkers that a CD player that mimics an instant Polaroid photo, meaning it is meant to be put on the wall, DOESN'T come with the wall bracket! I had to purchase it separately directly from their site for an additional $35!Folks at KM5, just toss the piece of metal in the box with the player or lower the price to compensate for the lack of it.Anyways, the CD player works and sounds great, especially when connected directly to an amp, as Bluetooth compresses the audio a bit, decreasing the audio dynamic range.Pros:- Great-looking little device, especially if you're into minimalism and especially if you are into photography and/or Polaroids like myself- Great sound- Simple and easy interface and operability- Despite other comments, this is a continuos player- Solid antishock, so it can be used as a portable player- So far, the battery lasts about 5 to 7 CD plays, and it charges in about an hourCons:- Pricey for what it does and what comes in the box (or more likely, what doesn't come in the box)- No wall bracket!- No remote (I really wish it came with a simple minimal remote)- Putting the album art is a bit finickyOverall I'm happy with it, just annoyed I had to pay so much for it and extra for the bracket

Worked exactly one time. After that nada. Very cheaply made. Can buy A-LOT cheaper than what I paid. By the time the mounting plate arrived (which I did not realize was a separate purchase, shipped from China), and got the unit mounted it refused to work. Will not charge, no lights. Too late to send back.

Although the minimalist design is attractive, the sound quality is too mediocre for the price and does not show any advantages as a CD player. Even through the wired connection instead of Bluetooth, the headphones do not convey good sound quality (I use the good Sony 7506 monitoring headphones, which is enough to prove that the headphones do not drag down the sound quality). This is not a hi-fi player, but at this price, you can afford a hi-fi player.

I bought this because it looks great and I wanted to try it out in my Bluetooth stereo setup as a versatile little cd player. Unfortunately it's audio quality is very poor and the Bluetooth connectivity is flaky at best. It can work as advertised if you really need it to, but it's really too much trouble for how much it costs. There are other cheaper players that perform even better. Because of that, I had to return this.

Useless. Not worth the price. Have been waiting a month for refund
