$299

Price at time of review.

User Rating:

Features voice recording and an FM tuner. The device can be fiddly to operate, and the LCD screen doesn't display any track information other than the title. There is no playlist management, and no directory structure for your tracks. Voice recording allows the sampling rate to be set up to 48,000Hz.
Sound quality was reasonable, although can be pumped up to ear-bleedingly loud. The EQ presets were needed as in some tracks, the higher tones sounded hollow, and the mid range was thin. There was noticeable hissing noise during spoken word audio tracks.
This device is better described as USB storage unit first, with MP3 and FM Radio as a bonus.
