LukasaPortable Bluetooth CD Player Built-in Speaker Stereo, Personal MP3 Players Rechargeable Compact Car Disc CD Music Player USB Play Anti-Shock Protection (Black)

Works as described

After exhaustive research I chose this cd for its ability to do many things, such as stand alone play with decent speaker. Most of all you can play this in your car, regardless of Bluetooth, and charging. New cars don’t have CD players. With this unit you can play it because it has its own speaker and runs on its own rechargeable battery. It also has usb Port that can play mp3 . I loved the carry case , earbuds, and great quality of the player itself. It has EASY to play buttons,in other words you can press buttons quickly instead of scrolling through an onscreen menu,which is really handy . Here is an important fact. I have not been able to connect with my 2020 Honda car speakers with Bluetooth, possibly I don’t know if I’m doing it right. Same with connecting with Fm. This is ok as again you can play through the cds player. I suspect that because it has Apple CarPlay One cannot use anything but Apple products and phones in the car. I don’t blame this product , rather Honda ,for not making equipment that’s compatible with other products. One thing to note, you can use the headphones jack to plug into your home speakers and it shuts off the cd speaker and you can blast out your home speakers. In turn you can plug into aux in and use the cd speaker,as a stand alone speaker with other devices mp3 ,iPod, etc. All in all it is a good product.

I don't understand how it can be 2020 and no one makes a CD boom box with a USB-C charger and an internal battery (instead of an AC wall jack or 6 D batteries)If you live on a boat, or an RV, or some other place where you only have DC not AC power, there are very few options for a standalone unit that plays CDs and has its own speaker. Go figure.I just bought this unit and the other two battery-powered, USB-rechargable CD players with speakers here on Amazon ( https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y8687XS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R5X6PNL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ).The Lukasa is the best of the bunch for sound quality. It doesn't sound great but the other two units had sound that was both muffled and tinny. Like a really old bad mono car stereo, but not as loud :( The Lukasa's sound quality is reasonable, but it's not a very loud device. Might not work in a car, depending how loud it is (definitlely isn't loud enough to work in my 1973 VW bus, but that's a loud car).Lukasa:- GOOD: Sound quality. Battery actually works and has a rated capacityNAVISKAUTO:- Sound quality pretty lame. I didn't test batteryTenswall:- Interesting unit that can hang on a wall, and which is also larger (which made me hope it would have better speakers, but it doesn't). BATTERY DID NOT WORK *AT ALL* FOR ME DESPITE LONG REPEATED CHARGING.

This product has been a disappointment from start to finish. My car CD player does not play MP3s and I have some MP3 CD novels I want to listen to. So I bought this. Although it does play MP3s, its maximum volume is very low and hard to hear when I am driving.Its overall design is not user friendly. For example, on the top of the device there is a circle containing a total of 12 buttons. Some of them have titles like "Fun" and "A-B" and "Rep" and "Prog" which are not meaningful to me. The "User Manual" has very small print and uses obscure terminology without bothering to explain what it means.To overcome the sound problem, I used the earphones that came with the product, which did work. I decided to keep it because it's a hassle to send stuff back and look for another product. After about two months it started working intermittently, then it stopped altogether. (I'd used the enclosed USB cable to recharge the battery, so a dead battery was not the cause of the malfunction.)At this point I was fed up with it so I thought I'd investigate sending it back for a refund. There was no readily apparent way to do this on my order form, so I called Amazon. I was told it was too late to get a refund (I'd surpassed the 30-day deadline), but I could contact Lukasa to help me learn how to use it better. I was given a web site address (lukasa.com) which is outmoded and is now for a different company. I was also given an overseas phone number, but I was concerned that I might have to pay a charge if I called. Plus by this time I knew I did not want this product so calling them for advice about how to use it was superfluous.So the question became: what do I do with this? I don't want to give it to a friend because I don't think it's a good product. I don't want to give it to an enemy either, because I'm not a petty guy. So I have decided to give it to the "Good Will" as a donation, on the off chance that a tinkerer might get it and use the parts for a creative project.

This small portable CD player sounds pretty good in a room with it's own speakers. It immediately paired with my JBL Bluetooth speaker for a great sound. Merry Christmas to me!
