Review on Rechargeable CD Player with Bluetooth, MONODEAL - Portable CD Player with Built-in Speakers, Perfect for Car and Home Use (Remote Control, Dust Cover Included) by Terrance Haralson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Monodeal HCD-10 universal disc player; very good price

I bought this product mainly to play audio CDs or listen to the soundtrack of educational DVDs (I have a Blu-ray player connected to my home entertainment center to watch movies). I play CD/DVD (audio only) as a background to work in my home office (to free up computer speakers) or to listen while relaxing in the bedroom; The built-in speakers are decent enough. I've also used the device in my car - I know this model isn't advertised for in-car gaming (they have a different model for it, but it doesn't have built-in speakers). You need to find the right cables so that you can connect the AV output to your car's AUX input. You'll need to crank up the car speakers, though, and you should find a good way to "sleeve" the device in the car so the vents don't get blocked - skipping while gaming wasn't a problem. In any case, I would only play it in the car for long hours of driving (like almost all late model cars, mine doesn't have a built in CD player and I have hundreds of CDs that I bought between the ages of 30 and 5). return). I was surprised that the device doesn't have a headphone jack - that would make gaming easier in the car. Also, I wish Bluetooth was more of a transmitter than a receiver - I already have much nicer portable BT speakers. I have to say the "tubes" on/off switch (pull power cord) is interesting. The instruction manual could have been written better but you should be able to figure it out. The remote is the right size and the buttons are tactile. Just don't lose! Overall, the build quality is very solid, especially in this price range. I would recommend that you take a close look at this as needed. If you don't need built-in speakers and just need a CD player, consider the portable CD player, also available from Revain. I'm glad I bought it! I hope I don't have to use their "lifetime" guarantee.

Pros
  • great price
