Koss KSiP1081CD-1 music player

After our review of the Koss kSiP2806-1 I found a great deal on this Koss KSiP1081CD-1 so I decided to return the other one and get this one.

The nice thing about the KSiP1081CD-1 is that it comes with a build in CD player so now I removed the old fashion CD player from my entertainment centre and moved the Koss in the place of that.

This Music centre from Koss is portable and even comes with a carrying strap and can run on Batteries or through a normal ac cord. And that makes it possible to take your music with you on a trip.

The Koss KSiP1081CD-1 has an Aux in and comes with a small wire so that you can connect any kind of mp3 player or other music source. Of course it also has a dock for you iPod and even offers an USB in for a iPod Shuffle. I have a 3g Nano and they Koss doesn’t have an special bracket for that one but it just fits and works great.

TV out is also build in but I didn’t get that working so i guess that i need to put some more time in that one to see if i can watch my iPod movies on the TV.

The sounds quality is pretty good and definitely better then the KSiP2806-1 and the remote is an handy tool to play with the volume. The CD player is placed in the top but this means that you CD slides in from the top and slides to the bottom and this means that if you put it in to a piece of furniture that you need enough space on the top so that you can slide de cd in.

The Koss KSiP1081CD-1 - iSeries Digital Music Portable Audio System is easy to use and you really don’t need to manual then just the first time you use it. Sound quality is good but not supper.

For me the Koss KSiP1081CD-1 is the perfect solution. I can use my iPod and my Wife can use her Sandisk player and we are both able to play some of our old CD collection. The only downside that I found with this unit till now is that the power button works a bit slow and that means that you think you didn’t turn it off and then you press again and that makes it first turn off and then go on again. But besides that a perfect music player for a great price. I got mine for 49 dollars and that to me is a great deal.
