Review: Lets begin with the good: - nice design - cool multicolour display Very bad quality: - Breaks down if you fill the memory to the brim. Deleting files & restarting/taking batteries out doesn't cure a thing. (Went back to seller for this one) - No sound. After about a month of ownership the headphone connection started getting loose, making the sound fall out. First just briefly on left channel (irritating), but lately continuously on both. - A light but stern tap on my device will cause it to crash/shut down. (Try leaving it on a vibrating surface, won't work) - Seems to lose data. Songs / parts of songs disappear. - bad recording quality. A lot of noise makes it difficult to listen to recordings for a long time - you get a headache. So, it's generally a well designed product that's been finished and put together shoddily, with bugs and loose connections giving you a hard time. For this price... You can find a 50 USD device that's better - that works!
