A Great MP3

by  pbyrne1107,   Jun 22, 2007

Pros:  Works great, sounds great, long life battery, sleek style

Cons:  Earbuds may not be for everyone, no buttons

The Bottom Line:  I can recommend this to anyone who wants a slimline good-performing MP3 player and doesn't need a ton of GB.

My first MP3 so keep in mind. However I found this to be an excellent buy (about $130 in April 07). The sound is good and offers three different modes (Concert, bass boost, normal). The graphics are excellent and of course the main selling point - the case is sleek. It may take some getting used to the flat controls versus buttons, and sometimes this can cause a problem when putting in or taking out of a pocket...

I did find the earbuds a bit irritating after long listens - they fit in the outer ear (bubble type) versus those that go into the middle ear. I bought an expensive Sony pair that does go in ($54) and found that the sound was not as good so now I am not sure if it is the location or the buds.

You can load almost 1.9GB on the MP3 and all of the files appear to have properly transferred. I was really impressed with the battery power and guess that I have almost 30 hours of play time.

The player also holds pics but I have not tried any of the features other than the music.

Finally - the accessories are expensive as there are not too many generic options out there. $34 for an armband case is not good! I am leaving on a roadtrip tomorrow and will try the Belkin car adaptor - I hope it works as I have a long drive in Switzerland and I am looking forward to some tunes. Stay tuned on the accessory...
