Misleading description and low quality

First of all, judging by the pictures and the description, you might think that this device can work with any USB, making it a universal option. nope! Both must be connected at the same time for proper operation. Not only is this misleading, but the cord is so short that it's almost impossible to plug them in at the same time. Luckily I had a USB hub when I plugged in a drive and couldn't eject it unless both USBs were connected! Second, it's noisy! When I tried to use it, it definitely wasn't quiet. My husband snores more quietly when he starts to roll over or slows down. I've never had discs that make that much noise and yes they were laying on a flat surface. Hold the player to keep it from moving. It is not easily recognized that a disc is inserted. When you have such a small external device, it becomes meaningless if the user has to hold it to insert discs. Fourth, the eject button is in an awkward spot. I suspect since you have to hold the device to insert discs they could just place the eject button in a convenient spot - otherwise you'd have to press it while trying to hold the device to insert the disc. That means the eject button is in the back corner - as far from the front of the device as possible. Now if the device is on the desktop and there is nothing on it, there is nothing to worry about; However, since the device is in a smaller enclosed area, it is extremely difficult to access to remove the discs. I didn't even use the disc before returning it. I fiddled with it and tried installing it in place of my old drive; put in some discs and tried to play them; it was all the same. I knew I wouldn't be able to use it in 5 minutes. going back.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
