Does the Merak play MP3 files from a USB drive?

Yes. The USB port reads common audio files from a flash drive, so you can play a mix of CDs and stored tracks from one unit.

Can I connect it to a phone or stream to it over Bluetooth?

No. The Merak has no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so it plays only discs and USB media. It suits buyers who want a simple wired player.

Does it have a headphone jack?

The listed connections are a USB port and analog audio output. Check the unit's rear panel for a headphone jack before buying if you plan to listen privately.

What comes in the box?

The player, a remote control and the usual power and audio cables. Confirm the exact cable set with the seller, since bundles vary.

How does it compare with a full-size CD deck?

It is smaller and adds USB playback, but full-size decks usually offer optical and coaxial outputs and sturdier transports. The Merak fits a desk or shelf where space is tight.

Our take on the Fosi Audio Merak CD Player Silver

The Fosi Audio Merak is a compact desktop CD player with a USB port and an included remote. It plays standard audio CDs and reads files from USB drives, so it works as a small standalone player for a desk, shelf or bedside setup. It has no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, which keeps it simple but means it cannot stream from a phone or network. Against full-size hi-fi CD decks it is smaller and easier to place, but it lacks the optical and coaxial outputs and the streaming features those decks carry.
