I love this product
This product is amazing! The only thing I didn't like about this product was that there wasn't a lot of space. But I would highly recommend it for excercise. I'm pretty sure that you could never break it. I left mine in my pocket then put it through the wash and it didn't break. If you work out a lot and like to listen to music then buy this product. Good value; small, easy design Small design is easily kept out of the way. Comes with a good arm-band Stores enough music for workouts/bike rides, etc. Setup is easy to use (this is our first MP3). Durable (stands up to our 4 year old). I like the fact that it has an FM radio. This is a great feature! If your not able to constantly update your music, you can switch to radio and not be bored during your workout. won't last more than a couple of years I was very happy with my player for just under the first year, and then I noticed that the headphones seemed to be malfunctioning. I'd have to kinda push the headphone jack into the player a little harder and then it would be fine. Eventually, I had to not only push the headphone jack in harder, but wiggle it around to get the sound to come out like it should, and now my player is completely useless. It's not the headphones, it's the player unit itself. The headphone hole apparently is loose. I have used this player a lot, but this still shouldn't happen. This unit is not very durable. I have a Sanyo portable CD player that's over 10 years old that's been through heck and back again and the headphone jack on that is still perfect after being in several backpacks, dropped, used on exercise equipment, on airplanes, etc., etc., etc. That is one durable piece of equipment! So, yeah, I'm really bummed about my Sandisk player and now I'll have to buy a new one, and I will not buy another Sandisk player. they should stick with making computer equipment. I hope their new ones are better. I don't think I got my money's worth on this. Great for kids I bought this as a first MP3 player for my 11 year-old son. He loses EVERYTHING so I was shopping for the lowest price but have been pleasantly surprised with the quality. It's worked out great for him, easy to use (especially loading songs onto it with the PC) and extremely small and light, even with the battery. I thought the sound quality was bad but realized it was the cheap earbuds that come with it; replacing them resulted in impressive sound quality for $[...]. The battery life is great but I recommend rechargeables. The radio and voice recorder are a bonus, especially if you are 11 and enjoy recording yourself saying stupid things! Good for price Well, I first got this mp3 player for my 13th birthday. I was ecstatic, this was my first mp3 player. It ran well for the first 2 or 3 months before I decided it was trash, but it had it's upsides.... Pros: If you've got 70 bucks laying around the house: first of you're hecka rich. Second off, you could either spend it on this, or you could save up for a little bit longer and get something worthwhile. It's a great deal for the price. If you're insanely conciencious about your looks, this is a pretty good choice for you. It looks cool without the cover. If you drop things a lot, this little player would be for you. I've dropped it twice before, once while playing basketball, and once while carrying it in my hand... what can I say. I'm clumsy. Anyways, both times not a single bit of damage was caused exept for a scratch. Yes, this mp3 player is very durable (Exept for the joy-stick, it's really wobbly) You can drag and drop! Playlists made easy. Just create a folder and put the songs in it and viola, you've got a playlist (I always sorted it by artist, makes things a hecka lot easier) Now, all of you should know not to judge a book by its cover... or an mp3 player in this case Cons: Sound quality is absoloutely horrible. Have you ever heard a rabbit scream? Well that's exactly what the sound is like on this mp3 player. No matter how much you fiddle with the sound EQ, it still sounds the same. Navigation is tricky, there's a slight lag after pushing a button to switch the song on pause it or whatever. Unless you made playlists, or organized your music in someway like that, it will take you a year to get to the song you want from the menu. If you're like me you've got at least 2 gigabytes of music, this will only satisfy your need for music if you only have 200 mb of songs. If... and I mean IF you decide to buy this player, make sure to get the 1gb, or even the 512mb, because I can almost guarantee that your music library will slowly, but steadily grow. Now for the big whammy, the biggest reason that I gave this player 2 stars..... the battery life. I can tell you that I mowed through the batteries like mad, I spend literally 5 bucks a week just for batteries on this stupid thing. I'd say you'll probably get 30 min - 1.5 hours TOPS if you have your volume all the way down to like... 5, and then you can't hear a thing. Overall: This player is good for the price, and has some good features as well. The radio is ok, but you can barely get any reception from anywhere. Sound quality is terrible. Very durable. But unless you're willing to match how much you spent on this player with buying batteries for it in 2 months, do not, I repeat, do not buy this player. | |
