1 Great player!
I am extremely pleased with it. It comes with all the options you could ever dream of.
Comes with:
Headphones
Usb cable
Power supply
necklace
case
arm/wrist strap
internal battery
Excellent quality player and really looks very fancy!
2 wish that there could be more memory...
This is by far one of the best media player/transferrer out there. It uses flash memory(which means no hard drive breakdowns) and comes with many accessories.
The Player:
-mp3s
Only 1 gig!? I think they can do better than that. Also, I'd like to see it be able to play real files(.rm/.ram), .wav and .asx. once again, i'd also like larger memory.
-FM radio
good, you can record from the radio. However, the presets are a little hard to figure out, and the reception isn't something to marvel about.
-Voice recorder
Is that really what my voice sounds like? Lol. This is a flawless feature.
-Line in
turn your CDs into MP3's! Haven't used it more than once.
-USB
typical USB cable. What can I say?
-Charger
Never use it. Just plug into the computer.
-Neck strap.
Good way of storing it.
-Armband
This is good for runners/joggers. I lost mine within a month.
-Headphones
Extraordinary sound, and very durable, however my left bud blew out after about 2 months of almost-daily use. This is where I need to take a star. I replaced them with a good pair of cheap sony headphones, and they work just fine.
Overall, this is a good value for somebody who likes to carry their music around in a very compound way.
