I saw another product being sold as a custom music playing photo magnet. Users were saying that it was nice but can only play the one song that that you need to send the vendor a Spotify link along with an image to be printed onto the face of the device. That is the customization part. Cool, but only 1 song and can't be changed after it has been made and delivered. So I came across this player. It's small but has loads of features. It comes with 16GB of internal memory and is expandable with a transflash card (up to 256GB). I thought, I'm a little creative, why can't I use this for a similar purpose? So I made a prototype. I made a holiday card ( to give out to family during our holiday gathering ) as a nice keepsake that can also be used throughout the year. This device has a 1.25x2" touch screen. Has loads of utilities- built-in speaker, voice recorder, media player, FM radio and Bluetooth. Bluetooth can only be paired (out) to devices like external speakers, headphones only. I wasn't able to pair it to a smartphone as a handsfree device. Included wired headphones are ok. Device was competitively priced when I purchased it. So making my own custom magnet keepsake comes out to about the same as the other device on the market. But I think the recipient of mine will get more usage out of it. I will probably think of a way to hang it like a Christmas tree ornament too. In any case, I plan on keeping this prototype for myself. But feel free to borrow my idea. Read more
I bought these for the grandkids, and at the most awesome price I found, THIS is sooo worth the money spent! These kids (10 y/o twins) were on them for an entire week straight! They hold a good charge, I haven't maxed out on music yet, so they must hold quite a bit of music. They are small, lightweight, but built sturdy, they have a touch-screen that the kids love, they hold e-books, pictures, and videos as well as music, and they have a radio transmitter AND bluetooth. To add anything, you simply drag and drop on a PC. I haven't figured out what the recorder is for yet, the twins are on them all the time, so I rarely have possession of them to play and find out what it is... but it's probably a voice recorder. I love the price, and I love the functionality of this little MP3 player. The quality is awesome, and when you don't want to buy a child a cell phone but they LOVE music as much as they love breathing, this is the perfect gadget! Or, if you just need something to jog with, it's small enough to carry anywhere (not waterproof, though). Read more
This seems like a great little MP3 player, it has all sorts of bells and whistles. After using it for a few days, we noticed that the FM radio does not work. When you plug in the ear buds and push the "Radio" button, it comes up with "Please plug in ear buds for antenna". The problem is, the ear buds are plugged in but it's not recognizing it and there is no way to trouble shoot it. So, the Radio feature does not work. That was one of the reasons that we chose this model. Trying to get a hold of the manufacturer has been useless. Don't want to send it back but will probably end up doing so. We bought 2 of these, the external speaker on the other one does not work either. Basically, everything is crap nowadays. Read more
So at first I rated this MP3 player poorly based on what seemed like very little room for music which is entirely what I bought it for. Once I went into the MP3 player from my computer to see what all was on it, there were pictures, audio books, and other stuff taking up a TON of room. Once I deleted all that stuff (it was all stuff that was already downloaded onto the device prior to me receiving it), I had SO much more room for music! I don't know why it arrives with junk on it taking up a lot of the room. Anyways if it seems like there's not a lot of space, open it up on your computer and delete the stuff you don't need on it. The price was great. Sound is great. Battery is not amazing but good enough. Read more
This little MP3 Player is awesome. I got this last minute for my 12 yo daughter's school trip to Washington DC. They were not allowed to bring any electronic device that connected to the internet and I wasn't about to give her my classic iPod lest it get lost. The night before the trip, I had to figure out how to download her music onto the device and seriously feared I would be up all night in the process. Turns out it was easy and the sound quality was surprisingly good. It also has a few other features that were nice to have on the trip. And the most amazing part is that she didn't lose it (but that credit goes to her not the MP3 player). If you are thinking about getting this for yourself or a kid, pull the trigger already. It's a good value for the price. Read more
I bought this Mp3 player for my daughter's 7th bday. The product was great until it stopped working 3 weeks later. The switch for the power button failed. I can wake the device up by plugging in charging power, but can't put it to sleep, turn it on/off as normal, or wake it up to interact with the device if the screen goes to sleep. Would otherwise have been 5/5. Battery life was good, Mp3 quality was fine, build quality and durability otherwise was great, the touch screen interface is acceptable, and the device looks premium for its price. Very disappointed. Daughter is sad, and now I'm looking for a different brand to replace it. Read more
I only use this as an MP3 player to workout at the gym. Sounds great after setting the equalizer to Hip Hop from normal. Drag and drop just like a USB storage device to add music into the music folder. Also can create additional folders inside the Music folder. Bluetooth auto connects when powered on/off with my cheap Tagry Bluetooth headset which is great. Battery lasts long and Bluetooth has been stable with no disconnects. Great customer service too…It was missing a part so I contacted customer service and they were very helpful and resolved my issue very quickly to my satisfaction. I definitely recommend this MP3 player to anyone needing one . Read more
