Great for the price

I love the player. Great hardware design with lots of features and customizations. I got it for $17 and all I really wanted was the FM radio function. I knew the sonic stage software would be a pain, and it is. But it's usable. Once you load your exercise music, you don't have to use the software again for a couple months. The battery will give you 3 hours of playback with just 3 minutes of charging. This means that you can have full playback in only 45 minutes of charging. This sold me on the player, since I wouldn't have to be buying batteries all the time. If the battery is dead, I can plug it in for 3 minutes and it will last for any workout I'm going to do.
Here is the problem. Every so often when it gets squeezed or shaken with something metal(Haven't figured out what causes it . . . Yet) It will reset itself. If you are listening to radio, it will just start playing the first MP3 in the list and when you go back to FM it starts you at the station of the lowest number. For less than $20 I'm willing to accept this bug. But if I paid full price, I would be very upset at this.
Pros:
1. 3 Hours battery charge in only 3 minutes
2. Water Resistant
3. Easy to operate without looking at it.
Cons:
1. The software
2. What's with this soft reset bug in my player.
3. Sport features not available with the FM radio. |
