Product description of the manufacturer
The KLIM Nomad Discman is a versatile portable music player that impresses with its long battery life and compatibility with CDs, MP3s and FM radio. It is ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy their favourite music on the go – whether they are doing sport, travelling or relaxing at home. The very good sound quality and the fact that the Discman is equipped with Bluetooth and headphones are included in the scope of delivery are particularly positive features. On the negative side, however, radio reception is not always optimal in some regions and the station is not always received clearly and stably. All in all, however, the KLIM Nomad Discman offers an all-round successful package that combines good sound quality with modern functions.

The battery life of the KLIM Nomad Discman is impressive: a runtime of more than ten hours was achieved with continuous use. The operating elements also work almost without delay, there is only a minimal delay when using the buttons. The skip and search functions respond quickly and without delay, making it extremely pleasant to use. The anti-shock function works well, there were only occasional slight, barely noticeable interruptions. However, there was a small problem with radio reception: one station could not be reliably memorised due to poor reception quality. Overall, the KLIM Nomad Discman fulfils most of the advertising promises and offers good performance for the price.
