Great build quality, super loud headphone volume, balanced audio, great functionality, easy to use
These are really awesome! I bought two of them for two of my daughters. These things are not disappointing at all! I can vouch for everything except for the battery life as I haven't tested them for more than just a few minutes to make sure everything worked. But from the reviews online and if what the advertisement is saying, and basing that off of the really good build quality super solid, then the battery life is probably also really good. The screens are really nice and bright. Good colors not washed out. Navigation is also pretty easy, some people said outdated but, it's simple to use. The buttons have an option to be on all the time, off all the time, or they light up when you touch the buttons. I thought at first the purple one was going to be hard to see in daytime, but the buttons are super bright. Also, the FM radio is actually pretty amazing. The only feature I don't understand is the FM recording, but otherwise the FM radio has an option to let the mp3 player preset all available stations that it picks up on, or you can go and just set ones that you like. If you press and hold the back and forward buttons that will act as a seek function. If you tap the back or four buttons that will act as a tuning option. Also the mp3 player gives you an option when you're exiting the radio to leave it playing in the background or shut it off, and if you leave it playing the background, the mp3 player seems to have no issues with performance. The mp3 function is probably even better. I had a few songs on a micro SD card and when I put the card in it does pop up with internal and sd card storage options. Also in the mp3 settings will be a way for you to scan the music files, this is necessary to make the mp3 player usable with your music. But out of I think 70 songs it only took the thing probably 7 seconds to scan. After the scan was done, that gave options for everything you would expect with genres, artists, albums, it also has options to add favorites and all that. I did not test out the video playback and picture playback stuff, but again I'm sure it'll work just fine. The audio recording and external speaker work really well. The audio recording comes out pretty clear and I do not need to hold it right next to my mouth for the thing to pick me up with good clarity. The recorder has options to record as wav or mp3 formats. I suggest changing it to mp3 as the native setting is wav and takes more space. I did not test out the Bluetooth function, however I will tell you that it is turned on from factory settings so if you don't plan on using it, make sure you turn it off to save your battery. I'm sure some people won't and then complain about battery life not being good. As far as headset quality goes, it gets loud, really loud. I thought that these would probably do okay on volume but definitely they get loud even with decent not necessarily high-end headphones. It is a little alarming how loud they get so definitely make sure your kids not cranking them up all the way. My hearing is bad and it was not anywhere near close to its max setting and it was kind of hurting my ears. Really setting seven or eight on the volume of 30 is actually plenty loud enough inside a quiet house. Sound quality was also nicely balanced. There was some decent bass, nothing punchy but you could tell it was present and the treble level did not sound overpowering and was not tinny. Again, very nicely balanced. They seem to come pre-charged from the factory. The startup time and shut down time on these units is actually pretty quick within about three or so seconds. Again, really super units, I was pleasantly surprised with how well things worked. Read more
