Shame about the make  |
|
this mp3 player is great, looks good and is simple to use. although its simple its not a basic mp3 player, it has a wide range of functions that most mp3 players around £100 dream of and will fill more than enough of any expectations, my mates were dead impressed with the 256mb memory, and the fact that you can upgrade the amount of memory is amazing, not that id even need more than 60 mp3s at one time but if i did, the fact that the option is there, altho the option is a bit pricey and tbh its alot cheaper to buy the same mp3 player again.
the only bad thing i can say about this mp3 player is the name of the brand, yeah sure they sound like a character from tekken, but they make exceedingly good mp3 players MMMMMMM.

Tiny size big features |
There are some wonderful things about modern technology - shiny plastics that look like metal, ever increasing memory for lower prices and better quality circuits. When these advances are combined with user friendly interfaces and smaller sizes youre basically onto a winner. My view is that there is no point getting an mp3 player of below 256mb and ideally only 512mb as lets face it if you have a mere i hour to play with youll soon get fed up. I have owened an Archos player with a hard drive in it that broke, twice, and a CD-MP3 player by Sony, but have finally come round to the convenience of solid state mini-players, and this is the one for me that rocks. You can get cheaper, but right now not smaller, and the design is siomple enough to stay classic.

Fantastic  |
This thing is great! I can get about 30 tracks on it at 128kbps, so thats about 2 hours music. Transfer via USB couldnt be easier, and its quite quick too so as soon as you get bored the songs you can switch them easily (who needs an iPod, eh?).The little screen is extremely high definition, so it can fit a lot more detail on it than youd imagine, and its backlit so you can use it in the dark. Whats more, the player automatically detects the song names and artists from the ID3 tags on the MP3 files, so no more faffing around inputting song names like I used to do with my MiniDisc. The headphones give a good sound, and although a couple of others have commented on the short wire, they didnt mention that the player comes with a neck-band, thus negating the need for long heaphone cables. Build quality is nice and solid, yet light. Practically all the weight comes from the AAA battery, its insane. I havent bothered to try the voice recording aspect, as thats not why I bought an MP3 player so I cant comment on it, but everything else is great. A well thought out piece of kit (you can even change the duration of the backlight on the screen, and the scroll speed of the text), I havent seen anything better on the market at the moment.
