Coby MP-C7085 MP3 Player with 1 GB Flash Memory with FM & Color Display Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With all the rave over Apple's iPod line and Microsoft's latest Zune (and every other competing big-name joining the music trend), few and far between are the daring consumers who choose to enjoy the lower-priced underdogs as the not-so-popular COBY. After owning mine for about two months now, I can say that I'm pretty darn satisfied with this product. Minus the minor delays (or freezes) every so often, it's a great buy for the price. The sound quality is pretty remarkable (depending also on brand of earphones used, mine are Phillips athletic earbuds, a highly recommended partner to accompany this device). Picture quality isn't bad, either. Another major aspect that shifted my decision to go with COBY rather than Apple (besides the incredible price for, basically, the same product minus the glamour and popularity) was the larger screen size. Apple's iPod proper has a wider screen display, albeit shorter height. Nano's screen is significantly smaller in comparison to COBY's 1.66" LCD color display. Additionally, COBY packs like a Swiss Army Knife. Whether studenting or traveling, the device comes equipped with everything the active buyer needs. The device features an FM radio, voice recorder, e-Book capability, video player, and of course, digital audio player.

My only qualm with COBY is the device's not-so-frequent, but irritatingglitches. I've had to reset my device several times, and reformat it twice. On more than one occasion, (formally well-functioning) files became inexplicably encrypted and were no longer identifiable by my PC. I could neither locate the files on the device, nor add new ones (via computer only; the files were present on the player, and played normally, but would not show themselves when explored through a PC).

If you're willing to accept the small risk for a great player at an incredible price, I strongly recommend purchasing the Coby MP-C7085 MP3 Player. It may not have the celebrity of it's ipop-counterpart, but this inexspensive little gadget is well worth its penny.

Coby MP-C7092 MP3 Player with 2 GB Flash Memory with FM & Color Display Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)COBY has a reputation for cheap stuff with adequate quality, but they will never win any "best product" awards.This MP3/video player would be mediocre if not for some rare and useful features.
First the bad: loose control panel feels cheap, buttons don't always respond correctly. User commands are not intuitive - you must read the manual.Those might be fatal problems for some, but I'm willing to overlook them because I got it cheap on clearance, but even more:
The good:This player supports OGG Vorbis files!!!!I didn't know any MP3 players supported OGG, let alone such a cheap one.OGG files deliver sound quality equal to cd audio - really! So if top sound quality matters to you, you can plug this player into your stereo and get cd quality, better than Mp3 files (at least to some people). As I write this review, I am listening to one of my favorite cd's, in quality identical to the original.

Other pluses: A nice bright 1.8 inch screen that plays videos. And TXT files can be displayed, making this a sort of E-book reader. Also comes with a rechargeable battery. Those features are not usually found in this price range.
Probably best for gaadget freaks like me who can deal with its quirks and design flaws.
