Centon 2GBMP3-003 2GB moVex MP3 Player (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this for about 2 months.
Positives:
+Very easy to use. It works well with either Windows Media Player or as a Flash drive .
+2 GB is plenty of space for anybody. That's over 24 hours of music, and no one will ever listen to more than that in one sitting.
+The best $20 you'll ever spend. Even if it breaks tomorrow, it's still a better deal than a $200 iPod that breaks after a year (do the math).
+The microphone is useful for spoken or low-volume recordings
+It doesn't even need to go in my pocket, it fits in one of my belt loops.
+I can easily go between folders with the little thing on the top left (ignore other reviews that claim it's difficult to choose songs)
+The headphones that come with it are actually very good and way better than the $20 ones I bought to replace them after one of the ears went (this always happens as I listen to my mp3 player for hours every day)

Negatives
-It runs on a AAA battery. This is touted as a positive because you don't need to bring a specific charger on vacation, but this is actually a negative because you have to either keep buying batteries (which offsets your savings on this) or use rechargeable ones which require a charger. I've chosen the latter and have been satisfied with it. It's no better or worse in this area than other mp3 players that use chargers.
-The mic isn't great. I recorded a concert and, although it's better than cell-phone quality, it doesn't have very good compression so it distorts somewhat.
-The battery connection is a little weak on all batteries besides the one that comes with the mp3 player, so if you put tinfoil on the edges of the battery it will last a little longer. The batteries last around 8 hours if you leave it on shuffle the whole time (choosing songs uses the backlight which eats the battery faster).
-Like all mp3 players, it's made in a sweatshop in China

All in all, a very good product (so far). The 4 GB one did not exist when I ordered mine. I might have chosen that for an extra $7.
