Oakcastle CD200 Portable CD Player Boombox with Bluetooth & FM Radio, 3.5mm AUX headphone jack and USB input, mains and battery music system for adults and children with stereo sound speakers (Black)

Bought this for my daughter. She bought some CD's so this looked like a decent system to play them. Works well, doesn't skip when carried and is easy enough to use. Sound is okay too. As you would expect for a cheap portable cd player. Has radio, Bluetooth and some other features like USB. Not used them, but I'm sure they'll work as expected. All in all, it's a decent piece of equipment. Oh, has headphone socket as well which you could also use as a line out into a stereo system and add a CD player should you need to. Over and Out! Rob :)

Wanted something cheap and easy to use in my she shed.

I bought this to listen to music while I'm in the kitchen, for which it is ideal.It's small, so it doesn't take up a lot of space.The sound quality is as good as you're going to get for a product like this within the same price range.As well as being able to play CDs and listen to the radio, you can also link to any Bluetooth-enabled device to listen to music from that.There is also a slot to listen to music from a USB memory stick.All in all, you get a lot for its size and price.I recommend it.

I always read reviews for obvious reasons so I have had to trust the opinions of the reviewers in the past usually a good idea!!! they must have been reviewing a different item this time!! This machine is cheap and nasty it feels too light to have any real substance to it its just plastic rubbish, the CD lid is so hard to open I thought it was broken (it is now it eventually snapped at the hinge!) or had a hidden release catch, it hasn't its just rubbish! To put a CD in or indeed take it out (even harder) is almost impossible with big hands or arthritis as the intended user has. The display is awful, illegible. The buttons are well too small and too close together, too hard to press to get a response - just rubbish. Honestly avoid buying this item, its.... yep rubbish! oh the handles a good idea! IT WAS RETURNED NEXT DAY!

I got one to use with mains electricity and then decided to get a second one to use with batteries in the garden! I found that I had a lot of CDs I wasn't using because I mainly listen to them in the car and I wasn't driving anywhere during these Covid lockdowns. I didn't have an up-to-date CD player, so I got this inexpensive Oakcastle one, partly on the basis of the favourable reviews, and was delighted with its performance! Now I'm catching up with my CDs I haven't listened to for a year. Addendum: the second Oakcastle CD player/radio is also fine, but the batteries seemed to go quickly, at least for the CD player part, although the radio still worked. (Well, no real surprise there, if you use it for hours and hours!) Be aware that if you are using batteries and it seems to malfunction, it could just be the batteries and it will work perfectly on mains electricity.

I bought this for my elderly Mum as she wanted a CD player and a radio.The controls are far too confusing and awkward for her, especially with poor eyesight and a bit of arthritis.Whenever you turn it on, it defaults to bluetooth input, even if you never use it.Turning on or off requires a long press of the small power/mode button. Once it's on, you press the same button twice for CD playback and a third time to get to Radio.Accessing the CD, you just need to lift the lid, but it resists and feels like you're forcing it.Sound quality is okay-ish. The CDs are quite muted and need the small volume button poking quite a few times to increase audibility of quiet parts of a piece, which you regret when you hit a louder part.Fine overall, but not good, and certainly not for anyone with arthritis in the hands or difficulty understanding multi-function buttons / dementia

It does what it says - plays cds which is what I bought it for. Also plays the radio and has other functions but I’m not interested in those. Sound quality is good, it’s easy to use and I’m happy.

The CD player looks great & the sound is of good quality. The Bluetooth & Aux work very well when tested from my mobile phone. The CD player also has USB & headphone ports. The choices of how to play your music are many. However the lid of the CD player is hard to lift open. The players button functions apart from the usual play, pause,skip & volume take some getting use to & the radio function only features FM radio with no choice for AM listeners.Possibly a bit overpriced for a CD player in this streaming age though it does the job it needs to do well.
