Saregama Carvaan Hindi - Portable Music Player with 5000 Preloaded Songs, FM/BT/AUX (Porcelain White)

Very nice product nice colour,voice its awesomeGo for it 🫶🏻

Worth it ✨

My father insisted that he wants this, so had to reluctantly spend 6K. Having said that he uses it daily and is quite content with the product.Liked1. Design - Easy to use for ages 60+2. Battery is decent3. Has radio, Bluetooth, usb - multiple options4. Sound is loud, can fill up 10x12ft room5. Warranty period of 12 months in which they promise to fix issues at doorstep.6. The golden voice of Ameen Sayani - Geetmala!Hated1. Remote sucks. For 6K they could add a better remote. I'll not be surprised if it breaks or stops working in few months. It is of cheap quality plastic.2. The big knob which changes artists appears to be fragile. I am not sure if this is the issue with all or only my product.3. Unable to choose a particular song. This is something that I really miss. I am sure the flexibility to choose is a must.In short, if you want to keep your retired parents engaged and away for from shitty content on the idiot box for a while, it is a good product. My father likes it and for me that is paisa vasool.

Best music player as on date which includes many songs along with radio and Bluetooth

Absolutely in love with Saregama Caravan. I found so many songs I had never heard before. Great connectivity. Reasonably good sound quality. Absolute delight for travel as well.

The item came in a nice big box, well packaged with adequate protection.It may not seem so from the images here, but this is a big device. The look and feel is just like radio of the old days - knob in front, small display, rotary wheel on the side for volume control.It is very intuitive to operate and use. The remote comes in very handy, though a slight issue is that remote only works when pointed from the front of the player. If you are on the side and try to use the remote, it does not work at all.The songs collection is extensive and exhaustive. Songs are already classified according to the legendary artists, according to mood. The GeetMala volumes are very nostalgic and pleasing to the ears.The music player doubles up as bluetooth speaker. The audio output is not as good as you would expect of dedicated bluetooth speakers. This one lacks in high bass and treble areas. The music player is designed to be heard on low to medium volumes, old songs which were not very bass heavy and full of audio effects. So yeah if you try to play modern music over it, you do not get desired quality. This is something that should have been taken care while designing the product. Its not a deal breaker for me though.There is a USB port charging usb devices and playing music from it via media options.

Build quality and finish is very good and it is still light weight. Sound quality is above average - suits for the music it holds. It is very easy to operate. The provision of FM, blue-tooth and USB inputs gives good expandability.The collection of songs is above average. Since HMV to RPG, they've the best repository of bollywood music but they do not have good understanding of making nice collections of songs. Their lack of this skill helped Gulshan Kumar made T-Series a grand success. Since the age of cassettes to this beautiful piece of digital music player, I've always found some baggage in their choice of collection. Sometimes it feels they push their choice than what listeners want. Sometimes, it looks they want to push some songs just because they've paid for rights of the whole set.The Set went blank once and they promptly replaced after call to customer care and some basic diagnosis over phone. This was during warranty period. I got it from Amazon as no store was even aware that such a product has been launched. Now a days, I see a lot of Carvaan boxes on so many stores. Selling network is good now, and I hope service network is as good after warranty is over.Overall a very good product - this is the (almost) best thing they could have done with the golden collection they've. This is a perfect all in one portable device with a good collection for senior generation. I still find Amazon Prime Music collection a good add-on for so many rare songs that I did not find in many other repositories. With Prime Music and Carvaan, I've got the best of both worlds.Edit: In this old review, one of the first things I mentioned is that the sound is above average and suits the music it HOLDS. You buy this for pre-stored bollywood OLDIES. Saw a lot many reviews complaining about sound. If anybody buys this as bluetooth or aux speaker, it's a wrong choice. You can get much better speakers under this price. Even an F&D at half this price will give you better bass. Know what you want before reading what they sell... any product.I bought this as a package. Also saw a lot of reviews about bad product. Either build quality has drastically degraded (shouldn't be the case, I guess, as half a dozen people I know did not face any such issue, except me and I mentioned that replacement experience) - or retailers might be spamming Amazon, but then most of these are verified purchasers! So think twice before you make choice. Prime Music with any ubiquitous bluetooth portable speakers (check jbl go or portonics sound drum or once with similar ratings) can give similar or better results.

The remote doesn't work
