Consumer review (newegg.com)

Solid product for the price

My XP system recognized it as a mass storage device right away. Sound quality is as good as expected

None so far

Good value for the money

I bought this mainly to record the guitar classes I attend for later review & practice. The 2GB permits many hours of recording time. The recorded audio has some hiss/scratchiness that I think is digital quantization noise. But for the money, I can...

big 2GB memory, low price, decent audio recorder quality, very good MP3 playback quality if you use better earbuds than the ones supplied

tiny screen, digital noise/artifacts on recorded audio (but acceptable for the price), mediocre fidelity from supplied earbuds (no fault of the player though)

Great product

I'm using the ear buds that come with it and they work well for me. I don't have anything to compare them to.

Works really well, no complaints for the price. No problems getting it to sync with Windows Media Player. The 2MB capacity is huge and if it were filled I think the file menu would be a little difficlut to navigate. The only manual is online but it's...

FM radio doesn't get very good reception but I don't have anyother device like this to compare it to. The stations I listen to have relatively week signal and I can't get them. The strong local stations come it very well. Sometimes it seems to lock in...

You get what you pay for

After light use for about a month this player is dying on me. With full battery it simply shuts down when I press "Play" button. Looks like something is wrong with electrical contacts. Overall: I don't recommentd it. Better spend extra ten bucks and...

Cheap ; Does what it is supposed to do. I used it for listening to audiobooks, and have been happy with the sound

Buttons have weird sensitivity. Some have to be pressed pretty hard, others react to lightest touch ; reliability

Good MP3 Player for the Price

The size of the storage and the ability to play MP3s at this price is the biggest plus.

The interface is not as nice as some of the MP3 players that I have experienced in the past (Creative Zen, I-Pod or Iriver H20).

Pocket Candy - anything but

The device itself is what you pay for, but that aside it does very well at being a mp3 player with very simple controls.

The headphones are your typical in earbuds that work for short periods of time.

Great Player for the money

Overall it's a great mp3 player for the price. Since there's no auto syncing software for the mac, I have to transfer songs manually. But this player has a lot of features for the price you pay. It's worth the money.

Cheap. Holds about 9 or 10 CDs in mp3 format. Great for carrying to the gym or in the car. Plugs into the audio jack in the car with a cable that you have to buy separately

I didn't see an instruction book that came with it. You have to figure things out intuitively. There is software to download off of their website, but nothing for the mac
