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)

I searched for a CD player with Bluetooth transmission capability. I wanted to listen to audiobooks that are available only on CDs from my library. I wanted a portable CD player that would pair with my 1st generation AirPods. After much searching, I found that most CD players only receive Bluetooth transmissions. I finally found this player that transmits through Bluetooth and is portable. It is perfect for any CD listening through earphones or speakers. It was very simple to pair by pressing the button on the back of the Airpods and the mode button on the player. It paired just as easily with my JBL portable speaker. There are 5 sound modes on the player and the quality is surprisingly good. The battery life and usb charging times are consistent with the product description. It’s always such a pleasure to purchase a product and it performs as advertised! Thanks, Oakcastle!

I bought the portable CD player for an aftermarket Pioneer head unit that doesn't have a CD player. The unit works as it should, has a nice look and feel, and sounds good when connected via a 3.5 mm jack or Bluetooth. Bluetooth connectivity however only works with the Pioneer head unit when my phone's Bluetooth is switched off. So I use the 3.5 mm jack for the CD player when connecting my phone concurrently through Android for on-screen navigation. Customer Support was responsive when I had a post purchase query on the headphone control which is a wired remote control that's helpful while driving a vehicle. A remote control that mimics all basic function buttons on the CD player will make the unit more driver friendly. This was a great purchase at this price point. The 3 year warranty is a bonus although it isn't clear what is covered.

I've had this CD player since January 2021. It's survived multiple long haul flights, getting thrown around while inside suit cases, multiple moves getting thrown around in boxes, etc. Anti skip works most times, but sometimes it's randomly inconsistent for some reason. It doesn't happen often though, once in a blue moon. I'll usually have to turn it off and on again. Works well enough to take it on walks with no issues though. I've never had the "No Disc" problem that others have had. Reads discs just fine. Sound quality is okay, it has EQ presets which are nice. Compact enough to fit inside shorts pocket. Doesn't take up much room. Battery lasts long. I don't use the bluetooth, only the headphone jack. Speaking of the headphone jack, it's quirky. It doesn't like certain headphones. For example, if I use my PC headphones, which have a mic, I'll get sound but the buttons on the CD player become unresponsive (except for the play/pause button). As soon as I remove the headphone jack from the CD player, the buttons work again. Buttons work fine with standard stereo headphones with no mic. Would I recommend this? I'll answer that by saying my next CD player will be something of higher quality. The lower quality from cutting corners on this CD player doesn't justify the $40 price tag. This technology is old, it should be perfected by now.

Nice packaging with detailed 12 page instruction book and every accessory you might need including audio patch cord, charger cable, headphones and inline controller for play/pause, stop, advance track, volume. The case is compact but well built and includes 4 rubber cushion (feet) on bottom to hold in place on any surface - these are not the cheap stick on rubber dots, they are attached to circles fabricated in the case. Battery charged in about 2 hours and lasted through at least 10 CDs, seemed like it could have played for hours more. Buttons on lid are real buttons, not thin membrane surfaces made into cover. The player quickly connected to my JBL bluetooth speaker and read/played audio and Mp3 tracks faster than any of 12 other players I have owned over the past 25 years. I wish the open and volume controls were easier to access but that's part of a compact player. I've never heard of the Oakcastle brand before but I am a big fan now. I highly recommend this reasonably priced device.

I really wanted a CD player but didn't want a "deck". After viewing multiple reviews on multiple platforms, I took a chance on the Oakcastle CD-100. Back light displays, Bluetooth capability, and a rechargeable internal battery. For the price, I was game. I am glad I found this. It has met all of my expectations. Wired, wireless connectivity...it doesn't matter. It plays even when charging. I have used a wireless headset and a wireless speaker. This product gives me what I want! I haven't acclimated 100% to using it (used top loader portable or deck platform for so many years). But, I would Definitely buy a few more for family...because they are not getting mine!!!! Ha! Low Risk, High Rewards, Price on point! 5 STARS!!! UPDATE: I have bought several since my original post. I still give 5 STARS. Update to report: My newest one is USB-C. Charging cable came with it and is the right length. BRAVO..Quality and function remain superb!

Like many others with 1-star review issues... the player suddenly stopped reading discs. I bought this for a oldest daughter, she used it a few times and it stopped reading discs. Contacted the manufacturer and after going back and forth with (sometimes ridiculous) troubleshooting steps, we were told to contact Amazon for a full refund. We registered the 3-year warranty included in the box, so I assumed this was acceptable, a full refund is better than being stuck with a defective product. After months going back and forth between Amazon and the manufacturer, my literal only option for resolving this issue is to return it to Amazon but with a Restocking Fee. I get it, Amazon needs to be compensated for processing the return of the product and it's not their fault it's defective... but the manufacturer offers absolutely no way to repair, replace, or refund the defective product. They also refuse to refund me for the restocking fee. In fact, they tell me it's up to the seller who, get this, pretends to be the manufacturer. As for one of the troubleshooting steps... they want you to turn on the player and drain the battery completely and recharge. This took FOREVER as the CD Player will turn off after 60 seconds if not playing anything. And it won't play anything if it ---get this--- doesn't read discs. Oakcastle or Majority or whoever it is who sells these products has lost a customer, and anyone else I can warn about this product. To be clear, the CD Player suffered no damage or misuse in it's short time with us. It just stopped reading discs randomly and never read them again. Again, I appreciate Amazon for allowing me to return this even if there is a restocking fee because my only other option is to cut my losses. $40 is a lot for a product that is quite literally built to fail with no real support.

After my Insignia CD player stopped working this past summer, I wanted to buy another one, but Best Buy does not sell it any more, so I had to expand my search. I'd never heard of the Oakcastle brand before ( it sounds like an English pub), but this model got good reviews and it was affordable. It also was rechargeable, so I wouldn't have to keep buying and using batteries. After you press the start button, it takes about 5 seconds for the CD to start playing. The sound is good ( like other reviewers, I suggest using different headphones, since the ones that come with the player are so-so). I listen to it for about a half-hour at a time when I'm at the gym, and I probably get several hours worth of playing time with each charge. I wish the buttons stayed lit up while the player was in use. And it feels less sturdy that players I've used in the past. I carry it in a padded bag that is sort of like a small purse, so it is protected. I'm happy with this purchase.

1st one I got didn't play certain CDs, some brand new, would play to a certain track and started making crazy noise. Got a replacement asap which is appreciated but still isn't the best with skip-protection which I bought it for. I've realized if some CDs had non-scratched issues (slight discoloration or whatever) it would skip like crazy. The CD had to be pristine to not skip. Which sucked cause I actually picked up an old Sony discman that carries batteries with G-protection and those CDs with slight discoloration worked near perfect. Barely any skip when walking or in a car/bus. Bluetooth sucks. Disconnects or skips audio when connected to a Bluetooth speaker or headphone/earbuds. Best audio experience is with wired headphones. 3 stars for the excellent replacement service. Hopefully Oakcastle improves this issue with future models. Will probably favor this old Sony Discman with rechargeable AAs over the Oalkcastle for the skip protection alone

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

Come da titolo, ritengo il prodotto assolutamente valido e completo di quelle funzionalità che ricercavo, e cioè un lettore di CD audio con possibilità di collegare le cuffie Bluetooth per poter ascoltare i cd della mia cd-teca ormai 30ennale mentre leggo coricato nel mio letto. Sottolineo che lo sto utilizzando quasi tutte le sere, l'ho provato con diversi generi di musica (pop e dance anni 80, rock, metal gothic e sinfonico, anime giapponesi, musica classica, indie, elettronica). Ad oggi il lettore ha riconosciuto anche un paio di CD audio masterizzati 30 anni fa, mentre non è riuscito a leggere i due CD dell'album live SM dei Metallica. L'equalizzatore c'è con le classiche impostazioni base, un minimo di differenza si sente, ovviamente non è secondo me un elemento importante per un apparecchio di questo tipo. Ho provato anche le cuffie in dotazione e non le ho trovate così pessime, anzi. Inoltre, volendo ci sono i comandi a filo. In realtà, mi interessava collegare le mie cuffie bluetooth e così ho fatto (in modo semplice, con la pressione del tasto mode). La qualità di ascolto si è alzato, i bassi sono discreti/buoni. Sulla qualità costruttiva e dei materiali, sono rimasto più che soddisfatto; Ok, è plastica, ma l'effetto opaco è gradevole, c'è lo spazio per inserire il dito lateralmente in modo da facilitare l'estrazione del CD. Se devo fare un appunto, riguarda l'ampiezza dell'apertura dello sportello che non supera i 35/40°. Non ho provato a forzarlo di più, comunque nessun problema a estrarre e inserire il cd. Sul sito ho effettuato la registrazione per la garanzia, e ho scaricato il manuale scritto in modo molto chiaro. Secondo me vale il suo prezzo, e forse anche qualcosa di più. Non si tratta di un prodotto per audiofili, sia chiaro.

Das kleine Kerlchen verrichtet seinen Dienst im Auto, da dort ja keine CD-Laufwerke mehr verbaut werden. Über das mitgelieferte Kabel via Klinkenstecker mit dem Auto verbunden, war das Koppeln kein Problem. Vorher im Haus noch mit den Bluetooth-Lautsprechern verbunden. Auch kein Ding. Im Fahrbetrieb keine Aussetzer beim Überfahren von Unebenheiten. Aktuell läuft er im Akku-Betrieb, über die Laufzeit kann ich noch keine Angaben machen. Mitgeliefert werden alle benötigten Kabel und ein Paar In-Ear-Kopfhörer, die ich aber noch nicht getestet habe. Der Player ist nur unwesentlich größer als die abzuspielenden CDs. Er macht einen soliden Eindruck, allenfalls die Schiebeschalter zum Öffnen des Deckels sowie zum Ein- und Ausschalten wirken etwas filigran und wenig robust. Bis jetzt aber: ein guter Kauf, würde ich sofort wieder nehmen und kann den Player nur empfehlen!

Je l'ai acheté pour m'en servir de lecteur de salon. A connecter sur un ampli via un câble jack RCA (à commander à part) ou par le Bluetooth quand l'ampli en est pourvu, la qualité est très correcte, j’ai pu le comparer à un lecteur de salon plus haut de gamme, il faut vraiment être un spécialiste pour voir la différence.
