My kid ordered this but he needed one with an additional feature. He kept talking about all it could do, I got curious and tried it out.Simple straight forward gadget that is useful and easy to set up. No interruptions to my music, no texts to lure me away, no notifications, no temptation to go search something. Just music. Hard little metal casing, surprisingly sturdy buttons, Bluetooth, compact. Screen is not touchscreen (use dial) but that means no accidental taps. It’s going to set you free. 💃🕺

I just received mine about an hour ago and I am very pleased with it. I only want this as an MP3 player and probably an alarm clock too, I won't even be attempting to watch videos or read books on it. As a music player this does everything it's supposed to, the menus are really self explanatory and intuitive. My music was already all on a dedicated memory card from a previous phone, I just popped it in and everything was there ready to play. Take 5minutes to go through the menus and settings and you'll see that every option you could want for playing music is there. All the concerns I read about in other reviews, I can't see why they had a problem, but perhaps people are too used to smart phones and everything being preset? It's honestly so easy to use , but then I am a GenXer who grew up with all the early tech so am used to digging around in the settings 😅Obviously as with all tech that comes with headphones, they go straight in the bin, get yourself a decent pair and this player will give you great sound.I really wish tech companies would stop making and providing cheap rubbish headphones with every item though, it creates a lot of unnecessary waste, nobody uses them and they end up in the bin every time. Either provide decent ones and raise the price or don't provide any at all if they're only good for the bin .Connection to Bluetooth speaker - the device wouldn't find my speaker at first but then I remembered, if it won't connect, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the speaker until it beeps, then try to connect again and it will work straight away. No issues with the connection dropping out.A really nice size too, bigger than the tiny iPod sized players, which my eyes would struggle with, but smaller than a typical phone, I really like how it fits and feels in my hand.Overall for the price this is an excellent choice!

A really good replacement for my defunct ipod nano. Slightly bigger than the nano and easy to handle. After working it out initially very easy to transfer songs from itunes into mp3 format and transfer them to player with the supplied charger cable. With earphones the sound is very good -easily up to nano standard. Sometimes have to turn the earphone jack a bit to get sound in both ears equally but only very minor occasional problem. Took a while to work out what all the buttons do as had to use magnifying glass on instructions. All in all very pleased with the product thus far - after about a month.

The fit an finish of the player is good and the audio quality is also good. It's a little difficult to pair compared to normal Bluetooth devices, and it's worthless with Sync or similar entertainment systems. Thinking it may be a firmware or settings I contacted the seller for help and instead of offering a solution they credited the device, so I assume there is no fix for use with an entertainment system. To me, use with entertainment systems is basic functionality not only for players but also cell phones. My 8 year old name brand player works flawless with both Ford and GM entertainment systems. If you're looking for a player with large capacity and great quality audio, and you don't intend to use it with entertainment systems, this player is a good value.

I recently ordered this really nice-looking MP3 player and received it just last week. I was extremely impressed by the quality and design. It is not too heavy, but it's definitely not flimsy. It's durable and I love the feel of it. The design of the touch control buttons is what stands out. They are not protruding out like other MP3 players that I've owned. They're more like buttons on an android device, which I find amazing. It comes with a pair of wired earbuds that you have to use in order to hear the radio because apparently they act as an antenna. The cool thing is you can also get Japanese or European radio stations, but I believe it will work if you're overseas. This player had no trouble connecting my pair of Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II through the Bluetooth function. One thing to note, that is something new that I haven't seen yet, is that it plays without any earbuds which is truly amazing. In the Music menu you can choose to use the built in Equalizer to enhance your music. The best part of this MP3 player is that it has a Type-C port for charging which is a plus in my book. It also has a hole on the left side so you can attach a wrist lanyard to carry, if you wish. Unfortunately I don't own a computer, but I simply ejected the provided 64GB TF (SD) card and created a folder and named it Music where I put my MP3s and M4As into. There are other menus, but I don't read ebooks nor wish to use this player to view videos. Overall it's a great player for the price. This is definitely a gem that I'm glad I found.

I'm very pleased with this little MP3 player. Its compactness is nice. What I particularly like about it is that I can navigate my MP3 library by selecting Genre to see a list of artists under that genre, then select an Artist to see a list of albums by that artist, and then select one of them to play the album or a track in it. Of course, you have to have your MP3's fully tagged to do this, with artist name, album name, genre, and preferably the cover graphic also. (See photo.)The player is solidly built like a phone. It's easy to learn to use all the functions on the device. I constantly have to remind myself that the display isn't touch-screen. But the backlit touch-buttons on the top are easy to use. The little user manual is pretty clear, although it doesn't tell you everything.There is a very useful Settings button which allows you to control how the device behaves, e.g. screen timeout time. But I couldn't find a setting to change the font size. If there is one thing that I'd like the device to do that it doesn't, it's that. Decreasing the font size while playing music would reduce the truncation of the album and track names. Increasing it while using Ebook Reader would make the TXT files much more readable for tired eyes.The manual doesn't tell you how to load your mp3 files onto the device. The Amazon page does, but note that you have to create the "MP3 Memory" folder yourself. When you connect the player to your computer with the USB cable, the player's 32GB internal storage and its 64GB micro-SD card will each show up as a separate storage device. You can have a MP3 Memory folder on either one, or on both. If you have two, the contents of the two folders aren't listed together when you select Music. You toggle between them by using the Folder button to select either Local Folder or Card Folder. Once you've figured all this out, the player is easy to use.The built-in speaker is handy, but of course the sound quality is better with headphones. I would prefer a rotating volume wheel myself, but the up/down buttons are OK. You need the volume set to high when using the built-in speaker, but you then have to turn it down before switching to headphones or Bluetooth if you don't want to blast your eardrums. I had no trouble Bluetoothing to ear buds and an amplified speaker, and the sound quality was excellent.FM reception is good, with the headphone cable being a passable FM antenna. One really nice feature is that you can listen to FM using Bluetooth with ear buds or a speaker, while the headphone cable is plugged and serving only as an antenna. (See photo.) Scanning for stations is quick. The ability to record FM is nice.The Voice Recorder is best for doing what it says, recording voice. You can use either the small microphone on the headphones cable, or you can plug in a microphone with a 3.5 connector to the "headphone" jack. (See photo.) According to the manual, the Up / Down volume buttons are supposed to set the recording level, but I couldn't get them to work for that purpose whether I adjusted them either before recording or during recording. With either microphone, I found that recording live music was acceptable when listening on the headphones or on the built-in speaker, but not great. When I copied the recording to my computer, the sound I got was boomy (too much bass). Perhaps music with less bass would have been fine. But the sound was monophonic, even with my stereo microphone. In my opinion, you wouldn't use it for recording live music unless you had no other recorder available.Not perfect in every respect, but I'm giving the player 5 stars because it meets my priority needs well. It's a bargain at the asking price, and worth every cent. And the supplier's warranty and customer service are superb.

The reason for the one star review is that the Bluetooth will not connect to my Ford Maverick. The device can find For Maverick on the connection list, but when I select "connect", it sits there and tried to connect, but says "connection failed." I have tried 10+ times over the course of two days to connect it to my vehicle, but to no avail. It just simple refuses to connect (and by contrast, my phone, when Bluetooth is on, connects easily to my vehicle). So sad because I bought this MP3 player to specifically play music in my vehicle over Bluetooth connection, and I cannot do that.Music was fairly simple to load. You just find the files in the iTunes folder on your computer and drag and drop them into the MP3 player folder (or copy and paste) and after that, just look for them in the player. It will only sort them by song title, not by artist. And to create a playlist, you have to find the song you want, select it, and then select "add to playlist". You have to do this individually for each song. Kind of annoying.Buyer beware - Bluetooth does not work (apparently) for some vehicles!

Before I bought this, I took the time to read a lot of reviews. This little player is an excellent value for the money. The main points I would like to highlight are:POSITIVE• Very decent sound quality• Very nice size; the screen is not larger than you actually need• Battery life is quite good; it lasts at least 15-20 hours with wired earbuds (not using Bluetooth).• Sturdy for a small deviceNEGATIVE• It takes a while to become familiar with the menu; once you are familiar, it works very well• It takes a while to get used to the fact that it's not a TOUCH SCREEN (hopefully you read other reviews and you are aware of that)• I don't use the earbuds that came with it because I don't like their shape (well, in all honesty, I HATE the earbuds that come with iPhones for the very same reason, so you may not see this shape thing as a disadvantage)• Learning curve for me: in order to SEE/TRANSFER your files, you need to use the DATA cable that comes with the mp3 player. Not all USB type C cables are created equal: most are for charging only. The cable that comes with the player is BOTH for charging AND for data. I learned it the hard way, after testing more than half a dozen cables that I had laying around and NOT being able to see the device. Stupid on my part (or just ignorance).NEUTRAL• I never intended to use the player to play videos, so I can't help you with that, I didn't even try• Pairing Bluetooth phones/earbuds is not hard, but it's not easy either. I am yet to see Bluetooth connections that work seamlessly, and this is notorious with WindowsI hope this helps you to make a decision as to this particular player brand/model. As to the vendor, I didn't have any problems, and delivery was faster than promised.
