I had a simple Sandisk Sport Go player for years, and it did what I needed it to do. Then it broke, and I tried several players before landing on this one. This one, the AGPTEX A65, does everything my Sandisk did, but better, and with a longer battery life and more capacity, too. Importantly, it also has tactile buttons, so I can use it without having to look at it (a problem I have with the "digital button" varieties). These buttons also function when the screen is dark. Setting it up was easy -- I just copied everything off my Sandisk music folder into the new folder on my AGPTEK, and then I was up and running in minutes. The only complaints I have are very minor. One, the button has a big tactile hitbox, but only a very small portion of it actually gives input to the machine. I have to push it a couple times if I'm fumbling with it while doing something else. Two, the firmware update software works, but it's obtuse and badly designed. The option to erase your drive is checked BY DEFAULT. So if you update the firmware, be sure to un-check "flash erase" unless you feel like reloading the machine. Read more
Bought this because after 20 years and 2 Sansa clips that just recently broke I was in need of a new mp3 player for use at the gym. Actually, I had no idea they even made these anymore and went looking on e-bay for another Sansa which are discontinued. Glad I didn’t buy one and came to amazon and did a search and found this. This MP3 had the most reviews, and positive ratings. I was pleased that aside from playing music, I can also play the FM radio. It also has other features that my S-clip didn’t have such as a pedometer, Bluetooth, and much more storage and options for audio books among others I probably won’t use. Setting this up was pretty straightforward. I read the instructions and had no problems loading my music. It went really smooth. It may take me a bit to learn the navigation of the display but not because it’s difficult, more so because I’m used to using my other device. Sound on this is good. Seems to have more treble than bass but I’m not bothered by it. I will say though this thing cranks and can play very LOUD. I’ll have to be careful with that because I like loud music but I also like my ability to hear better. I just received this today so I can’t really say much about its reliability or how long the charge lasts but other reviewers seem pleased with it. Lastly I was happy with the price. I believe I found my new exercise companion and don’t need to mourn the death of my Sansa. If I have any issues that occur I will update but I think this will work out nicely and be a great replacement. Read more
I've had a AGPtek G02 since 2020 when my last iPod Shuffle died. Other than the sketchy controls that sometimes act up it has performed perfectly on countless runs, hikes and trips over the years. I bought another in 2022 and unfortunately that one will only shuffle and will not play tracks in order no matter what you do with the files. Here I am over three years later, the G02s are getting old, and I notice AGPtek has a new player designed for runners that supports Bluetooth, so I ordered this one. In short, it sounds terrible. Lots of distortion at all frequencies, and the built-in graphic eq cannot help it. The cheap old G02 sounds so much better and fuller it's like night and day. This new one has so many features, most I'll never use, honestly, but having a display to scroll through tracks by artist, album, genre, folder is great. Unfortunately, none of this functionality is worth a rip since the sound is so poor. I tried different file types, headphones, etc., a/b'd with the G02, so I know it is definitely the player. They added all this functionality apparently at the expense of audio quality. Unforgivable, really, and very disappointing. As for the Bluetooth, it paired easily with my JBL Charge 5 speaker but no luck with my Subaru's BT system. This wouldn't have been a deal breaker by itself since I mostly use wired devices anyway. Sent it right back. Maybe I will roll the dice with another old G02 as I see they're still available and hope I get lucky though I doubt it after all this time. My experience is that all these AGPtek products are a crapshoot and I wonder if I will ever get another good one like the first one I bought. If it doesn’t work I give up. Read more
It's got a great storage capacity and works great for the price! Not a big fan of how it has difficulties keeping the tracks in order, but at least it still plays. I've had no problems with it's durability, but little specks of dust do get under the screen if you put it in any pockets. The battery lasts crazy long and it reads micro sd cards very well, so I still think it's worth it. It has some troubles playing larger files like flac files, and the Bluetooth capabilities are a bit spotty, but since I typically use wired headphones, it's not too big a deal. It's kind of cool that you can record audio with it, too. Don't expect studio quality recording, but it's surprisingly good quality sound for the price, especially since audio recording isn't the main function. FM function works, too, but I need to mess with it more to give better feedback on it. Tl:dr - it's great for the price, but the Bluetooth and (more importantly) the file organization bug me quite a bit, and they might end up bugging you, too. Read more
