Hard to load music
on November 6, 2014

I bought this as a gift for my very active 13 year old son. He loves music and is always on the move.
He hasn't used it much because it's very confusing to load music. I could have saved the $$ and bought something he'd use

What could have been the greatest Walkman

Untethered, lightweight mp3 player that could've been the perfect iPod killer. Music quality is okay, lots of features for navigating music without a screen and I love the format. Sadly, plagued by the "dock" that needs a computer to recharge via USB, why can't it just charge from your standard USB wall adapter... no idea! Battery life was spotty at best, it does seem to charge rapidly but never got close to half the lifetime advertised. I don't understand why every time I want to use it after a week or two, battery is dead but immediately after plugging it in, it says 80%. Not really comfortable, it could have been better with over-the-ear type instead of buds but I understand the trade-off (lower volume/better noise proofing, battery life, smaller footprint etc...). The "mechanism" for adjusting the fit is not really high-tech, it's just an elastic band that will slip with "sporty" uses. I really wanted to love this thing, and when it works, it's great. Too many times has it become bricked or wouldn't work until a full reset needing a computer. The software "Media Go" needed to operate is only slightly better than iTunes but at least you can copy paste mp3s directly like a thumb drive. Out of the two I got, one never really worked correctly and was sent back and the other only works after being charged.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing, can't swim without them anymore

I've had it for a few years now and it's awesome, the noise quality is great and it keeps the water out your ears, and the controls are very simple but you still have different folder options ect, the only thing I can comment on is the charger, take care of your charger! I am now searching for one online because if I want to charge it I have to hold it a certain way, not ideal

I bought this years ago and because it wasn't compatible with Audible, I just threw it in my dresser. Now that I'm distance swimming and looking for music I dragged it out and relearned how to use it. Controls are small and hard to figure out at first especially while swimming but I've gotten the hang of it. Love listening to great music to accompany my long swims
I would recommend this to a friend!
