KLIM Nomad CD Player! Unboxing & Review!  

The comic had me laughing ! Very funny and nicely done! I like the fake wood finish on the player ! Reminds me of the fake wood on the 1980's Chrysler K-car station wagon! 🤣

Just bought this CD player. So thanks for the great review. I needed something I could carry about as I'm a wheelchair user. So, I needed a good player to carry around. I am really pleased with the choice I have made now. Great review......👍

I have had this player for 6 months or so. I primarily bought it to be able to play CD's in the car since my car has everything but CD. Love this unit. It is truly a higher end quality unit.

Thanks for the nice review.

Prob a good time to buy a few of these since CD's are going to be the next big thing in retro audio very soon. Looks like it has all the features one could want, thanks for the detailed review!

I was going to buy one of these until you reminded me about the battery thing. I have a lot of rechargeable AA batteries, and you just can't beat an effective charge time of less than a minute by swapping out charged AA batteries. AA batteries should be the standard in some consumer electronics. It's scary how many environmentalists pretend that a sealed in lithium ion battery is better than rechargable AA batteries for everything. I have a mouse that can charge an AA over USB and a CD player than can charge it's AA batteries with a barrel jack plug. Why have so many people accepted that internal batteries in consumer electronics, especially niche ones not designed to be used every day should have lithium battery tech? Just save money in manufacturing by not even including a battery, and let the customer buy some rechargable ones, and then you can charge more for a product that's cheaper to make and get happier customers with products that last longer! I see that the manufacturer is reading some comments, so if you're reading this: I would pay an extra 30 bucks for this same model if it supported rechargable AA batteries and could charge them over USB. It just doesn't make sense to spend money like this when I could buy 4 or 5 other CD players for the same cost and use those for the rest of my life. Something like this needs a removable battery due to the type of product that it is, and in the context of its "you're not using this every day" niche status.

Well I’m bought amazing review

I happened to hold onto my CD collection from the 90s and early 2000’s. When I found them all at home, I realised I had nothing to play them on. I bought the clear version of this CD player on Amazon and I was really surprised by the quality too. I had a lot of mixed CDs I burnt on my computer, so it’s good to hear them all again.

KLIM is MILK spelled backwards !

My observations on this one. Of course these are not criticisms they are just observations and things to consider: I believe the comic should be read downwards rather than across, it makes more sense then. The radio is the extended FM band from 76mhz! The directory button can probably also be used for MP3 CDs as well as SD cards. As well as an antenna function earphone socket 2 might be for line out and not for sharing the sound? According to the manual one seems to be a 32ohms output only; the other is a lot more adaptable; perhaps? A misspelling in the manual states this is an "earophone" for this one. (LOL). With some portable CD players you CAN turn off the ASP by holding down the play (or other button for a bit longer (if so you can also do so again, to reengage it); it might not work for this one. Using a CD player with ASP can mean the battery drains just (marginally) a little bit faster. Also, it may be possible to run the unit via the charging lead if the battery does die. Again, it might not be possible via this one, but for some it can be; so it's worth considering this. Also the SD card wouldn't need any ASP. The only other thing is that it wasn't stated what bit rates it can/could play for MP3 (or if it plays. BTW if you reverse the names they become Milk and Damon. Just saying! Also FM stereo or mono for this one? Plus runtime on a charge? As stated before, just observations! Thanks.

It's funny because im looking for this type of cd player. Thx for this information 👍

Welcome to Florida! How are you liking our state? Hope you get all set up and your video's go as they have always gone!

Very cool portable cd player.

Wow. I might just consider buying this. I used to have a cd/radio player just like this made by Emerson. Used to listen to Coast to Coast AM 14:54 late at night in bed.

Thanks for the review. I'd say they are excellent players. It's a pity we couldn't hear some music, though.

Don't care much for headphones. Bought this to play music through my vintage BOOMBOXES, using a 3.5mm aux cord, with RCA adapters. Sounds great.

The box manufacturer printed the name backwards. It's actually MILK, and everybody has heard of MILK. 🤣😂😆🤣😂😆🤣😂😆😅🙂

BTW - What a wonderful place there!

Hi. Can you please tell the difference in sound quality to the Monodeal MD-102 that you reviewed earlier? Thank you!

Did you pinch the memory foam buds prior to inserting them into your ears this ensures a better fit at adrians sound

Nice review, I just wonder : if you put mp3 files on an SD card, and just put the card in the TF reader, can you listen to those files directly ?

does this have a speed control function?

I got a klim laptop cooler and it came with the same papers. I love when companies try to act human.

I wonder why the KLIM Journey is not avaliable anymore. Thanks for great information on these devices.

What version of bluetooth does the unit have?

I have the Patsy Cline Heartaches CD.

I emailed KLIM about the buffer compression yesterday. If anyone knows whether this uses lossy or lossless compression please let us know.

I feel the Klim Nomad needs to join the list of candidates of the best CD Walkmans, alongside Arafuna and Monodeal because of the anti-slip/shock protection being 100 seconds or more. That’s how I wanted it to be when you’re at the gym exercising or when you’re riding on bumpy roads with someone who is behind the wheel. Even with a significant fall, you’ll ensure that you’ll never lost the beat of your favorite tunes. Hott will not be in the top of the list, but more likely towards the bottom because the anti-skip protection is only limited to less than 100 seconds. These ones, they claim, are not recommended for strenuous exercise. So, that would be a preview of the top-tier vs. bottom-tier Walkmans.

So now you are in Florida. Being a professional skier, I'd actually would love to move to Denver to be closer to the skiing out there. I've personally never been to any of the Disney Land/World parks. The only time I was in Florida was in Panama City Beach for spring break during my senior year of college. I will have to try to go down there again sometime. I've stayed at the Gaylord over at the National Harbor in D.C. and that place is really nice. I wonder if these modern portable CD players, at least the "good" ones, such as the one shown, when using ASP, if they do use lossless compression since the memory and processing is capable of doing so. Might be worth e-mailing them and ask just what, and if, they use any compression for the ASP buffering.

I can't use in ear headphones, I have always had issues between getting them to stay in and the angle they need to go in. When I had my original Sony in ear headphones, I had to contort them in my ears to even use something to hold them in the sweet spot. Eventually the bar that goes around the head broke off and it made it more difficult to achieve good sound. Years later I tried buds, between the buds always falling out, and poor sound it wasn't worth it for me.

Why the sound with bluetooh is so low and with cable is so high??? I think it is themain problem with this unit.

For me these modern CD player are just OK. The feature sets from brand to brand seem to be mostly the same. My biggest gripe is that they are so "chunky". The technology is there to make them slimmer. However that would mot likely increase the mfg. cost. As far as pricing, I think they are little on the high side for what they are.

LGR would love this CD player lmao

Do they have bluetooth 5?

Any to clear the play position…. Every time I put a new CD in it plays where I left off on the last Cd

Did you try to play FM with bluetooth? I bought an antenna and still it wont play radio through my speaker

Is there a line out? I couldnt see one

It makes a change from reviewing Vinyls Record-ology, a review of the CD player instead for a change.

Does any of those NEW CD/MP3 portable players had CD-text or ID-tags reading support, or this tehnology forever lost? BT and USB-charging is good. But where is track/artist/album name???

Unfortunately not any good if you want seamless gapless play like most that come from China these days so no good for audiobooks, live music or classical which require this
