Consumer review (newegg.com)

nice unit

 

Bought this for the gym, has all the features and sounds nice. Also use it as a flash drive for files. Came with all the accessories. Newegg has the best actual price as usual. Shipped the same day I ordered it.

A reliable little player

Consumer review (epinions.com)

good and bad

 

I wanted an MP3 player for weight training and for running. I was looking for one that could hold 25-30 songs or so and didn't want to spend a ton. The unit itself is decently small and really cool looking with the blue color, although the shape is a ...
