"CNET Opinion Wayyyyyyyy off the mark!"

by mdshullaw on March 9, 2007

Pros: The most bang for the buck. It's loaded

Cons: Pro-priority battery - minor flaw
Summary: Sorry CNET, you missed the target on your review. I am an audio technician/sound engineer, so I hope my opinion helps those looking for the most bang for the buck.

First off, through the included headphones out the window, they are worthless. Not uncommon in this price range. Grab a decent pair right from the start. I recomnemd JVC HA-FX33. The have soft foam rubber inserts that fit and stay put. The sound competes with Bose earbuds, which I have in my studio, and cost more than they were worth.

The features of this little player are fantastic. YES, it does support album art. Seems many reviewers don't realize this for some strange reason. The EQ has presets, but better yet, it has a custom setting for getting the sound just right. Perfect for serious listeners.

Playlist support, listing by groups, such as artist, song, etc, make it simple to use. The screen is plenty bright and easy to read. Let's face it, screens this small are not good for viewing photos, I don't care what brand you buy. What it is good for, is easy to read menus and album art.

The FM radio works well, and has presets. It records from the radio if desired. The built in mike records voice. The built in rechargable battery charges when it is connectred to a USB port. Works for 15 hours on a single charge. There is an external memory card slot for mini SD cards.

I love this little player, and use it often. I own a music studio with over 200,000 dollars of audio equipment, and I chose this little player for personal iistening, after trying about 20 different players, from the cheapest to the most expensive. This is my recommended player.
