New portable CD player arrives with FM radio, Bluetooth and 3.5mm output, and HQCD/MP3/WMA support
Gadhouse has released the Eric portable CD player with retro vibes and modern technology.
The Eric can play regular music CDs, HQCDs (High Quality CDs), and recordable CDs containing MP3 and WMA files. HQCDs are fully compatible with regular CD players and are manufactured using a specialized combination of polycarbonate and reflective alloys designed to reduce physical bit-read errors compared to regular CDs.
Users can listen to music through up to two 3.5 mm wired headphones or connect Bluetooth wireless headphones. A built-in FM tuner enables reception of radio broadcasts.
At home, mounting holes and an AUX output allow the CD player to be integrated into an audio system. The player utilizes anti-skip technology to help deliver dropout-free sound during portable use. The rechargeable battery delivers up to four hours of playback time, according to the company.
The Eric's transparent case cover allows users to quickly identify the disc inside, saving time when checking which CD is loaded. The player is controlled using physical buttons located on the top panel next to an old-school segmented LED display. The CD player weighs 308 g (10.9 oz.) and measures 16.9 x 13.6 x 3.2 cm (6.7 x 5.4 x 1.3 in.).
The Gadhouse Eric CD player (model GAD8001) has an MSRP of $84.50 and is available in Ivory from the company's website. The player can be paired with the Gadhouse Wesley on-ear '80s-style headphones sold on Amazon.
Readers looking for an even higher-end portable CD player might want to consider the Shanling EC Zero T Max portable CD player (sold here on Amazon), which adds CD-ripping capabilities and a high-fidelity tube amplifier for balanced headphones.
