"Excellent product with great features and sound quality!"
Pros: Fully customizable EQ, extremely small, nice display, intuivite menus, many play options, impressive sound quality (much better than iPod Mini), no software required for file transfers, long battery
Cons: 90 day warranty, no fm tuner, hold function is a combination of two buttons
Summary: This is the best mp3 player that I have ever owned. I bought an iPod Mini and immediately sold it to buy this mp3 player because I was very unimpressed with the sound quality. I wasn't disappointed for a second! The sound quality on this mp3 player is second to none that I have tried, and it has so many options. I love the nicely lit, relatively large display. The fact that you don't have to install any proprietary software to transfer any kind of file is a big plus for me. The battery always lasts me about 18 hours at 75% volume, which is great. I think that for how much you pay for this unit, the warranty is really poor. I don't care that it doesn't have an FM tuner, but some might. There is no actual physical hold button, but you have to hold a combination of two buttons, which some may not like. I would highly recommend this mp3 player to anyone!!!
