I like the versatility of mp3 players vs. cell phone but find it difficult to find a player that has a customizable EQ setting. This is a must for me and this one does. It is an amazing player. It is small with a colorful touch screen and comes with standard offerings such as voice recorder, calendar, video, bluetooth, music, etc. It also comes with shuffle play, repeat play, previous and next play and 3 different playlists to add music of a certain genre to. Learning the nuances are a bit tricky but play with it long enough and you'll breeze through it. The sound is terrific. I listened to it through $20 Sony over the ear phones, and it was beyond good. This baby will get loud as well. There is nothing you will want this thing to do that they haven't addressed. Build quality is great. Small touch screen requires some patience. I am so impressed that I just ordered me another as a backup. Also, the packaging is 5 star. Nice earphones and USB to C cable in an organized tray within the box. Read more
What I like about it was the simplicity of drag n drop MP3s, BT, and battery life. Off the grid living is fantastic, with this $26 gizmo, no annoying attention stealing ads Unfortunately, my fingers were too fat for a tiny device like this. When I opened a certain folder, I was prompted by a "delete" option on top of the screen. The delete option was way to close to back button "<" on the screen. My thumb accidentanly hit delete instead of back < button causing some of my files to begone forever. It didn't play my WAV files and FLACs. But my HQ MP3s were recognized without a problem. For $26, it was good. Read more
I purchased this mp3 player for my 8 year old to use while running. I thought it came with a clip to secure it, but I looked at a lot of players and must have missed that this one does not include a clip. The device works well, it just took some work to get it playing mp3's. Some things to consider before you purchase: 1. You can listen to the radio, but only with a wired headphone connection (no wireless/Bluetooth) 2. You can use wireless/Bluetooth headphones when listening to MP3's 3. I could not transfer MP3's onto the device via the USB connection. I followed the instructions included, made sure everything was updated on the computer, and even sent an email as instructed when that didn't work. In the end, I went out and bought a micro-SD card and loaded the songs on there and inserted it into the player and it plays that way. I am not thrilled about having to purchase the Micro-SD card separately or the ineffective instructions so the product lost some stars. That being said, it doers the job and my child loves being able to listen to his music whenever he wants. I would recommend this or something like it for a starter device. I paired it with these open ear headphones to be a little safer if he uses it outside: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2C5K1SL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Read more
For music, this seems to do as well as my old Zune/Ipod (non-Rockbox'd Ipod, anyway.. Rockbox rules.).. For audiobooks (especially if one large file), you will find it less than satisfactory. There doesn't appear to be a way for it to return to the last place listened on an mp3 if you accidentally hit fast forward or rewind. My solution was to run the 15 hour audiobook through the program FFMpeg and cut it into 5 minute segments.. Not ideal, but its what I bought this mp3 player for.. It was my error in assuming it would resume in a file, therefor I'm not reducing the number of stars for the review. Otherwise, the player seems to do well. My sole complaint would be that there isn't a way to attach a lanyard.. And, no clip on it.. I'll be putting a piece of fuzzy velcro on and the hooked side somewhere in the car.. Read more
I listen to a lot of music in the car but unfortunately, I do not have unlimited streaming with my phone service. Looking for a different alternative, I figured I'd get an Mp3 player. I picked this one out because of the price and the reviews. Well, I should have done more research So, lets go with the pros: The price: It's $25 so you know you're possibly getting a cheap thing because it's one of the lowest on the market. But it's affordable and if something does happen to it, it was just $25 Bluetooth: I will talk about this more in the con but it did pair up with my car easily at first. The size: It's small, not heavy, compact. This does come with cons though Expandable storage: I was impressed that you can expand it by 256gb with a card. It wasn't hard either to add songs. Just copy and paste. Sound quality: Surprisingly, really good. Wasn't earth shattering, but i was semi impressed. The Cons: The size: While this is definitely a pro too, the screen is really small and hard to see. If you have eyesight issues, this is not the product for you. The font and color scheme are also not good either and most of the times I found myself guessing for my options The touchscreen: Another pro that runs into a con. It just was cumbersome. So many times I'd click on something and another menu item would pop up. The Battery Life: I thought it was turned off, but I left it in the car overnight, by the next day the battery was drained. I know it wasn't playing any music. And even if I did leave it on, I shouldn't drain like that Bluetooth.: Once I turned the car off, it disconnected from the bluetooth. This could be my setting on my car, but I never had that happen with any other device Memory: I don't know what you would call this, but if I was in my car, turned the car off, made sure the player was on but no music was playing, the device would go into sleep mode and completely forget where you were in a song. This was really annoying. This would also happen if I had the device connected via an aux cable. How every thing is put into order: Most Mp3 players that I have owned would put everything in alphabetical order by artist name and would even have folders for the albums. This player puts everything in the order you put it in. If you want to listen to an album, you either have to search through your songs to find that album in your library or create a playlist. It Crapped Out: It literally stopped working in less than a week. Not kidding, Tried recharging it, turning it on, etc. Just. Stopped. Working. I don't know who this product is for. Maybe it's for kids and I am too old for it. But if you are looking for something to replace your iPod with, this is not the product. I was happy for maybe one day with it. Read more
