Philips LFH0662/00 Digital Voice Tracer 0662 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using digital recorders for many years.I use them daily in my line of work.If I leave home without one, I turn around and drive back and get one.

The Philips is a disappointment.It is hard to use.The Ergonomics were designed by engineers I assume.Companies make mistakes by not having input from the end user.If you can't use one of these recorder with one hand (easily) why have a small one?Quality is good but a very low grade for the ergonomics.I can't use it with one hand.Olympus will be out with one in August that looks promising.I look for quality and ease of use with one hand.Also, make it super simple to set up with the time, date, etc.

This one fails in my opinion.Philips needs to call end users and get their input.

RCA M5002 Flash Player with 1.8" Screen and FM Tuner - 2 GB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This MP3 player is quite neat and useful...but that only lasted for a month or 2 because it scratches way too easy.The interface is great and the sound is awesome.It does get slugish if too many songs are in its memory.All in all, mine worked for about 9 months before it decided to stop working.I sent it in to RCA 2 months ago and still am waiting for some type of response from them.So if you are looking for an MP3 player that will stay looking nice and have a long lifespan....then this one is not it (especially at over $100).

Ninio Compacto 2gb Digital Mp3/mp4 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok...I'm a gadget freak.I loved the thought of the ipod, especially the nano but disliked the proprietary nature.I decided on this Korean "nano knock-off" for seventy bucks.
I received it in about four days.It was well packaged and looked just like the photos on line.
At first, I was a little confused with the navigation of the thing and the poorly interpreted manual is totally useless.
After a bit of patient exploration, I found the unit easy to operate.
I hooked up the USB and dragged a few tunes into it.Some WMA, some MP3, which I hate for quality reasons, and some Ogg Vorbis files.Now, be advised, the unit didn't claim to play Ogg files so I didn't expect it to do so, but guess what?....I does!
If you have not used Ogg, I highly suggest it.The files are very small and blow the doors off MP3.
Next, I loaded the included video conversion utility....crossing my fingers that this cheap little Korean wonder would actually play video.The included software loaded smoothly and found it very easy to use.I already own a Cowon A2 (check one out at cowonamerica.com) and use it to record direct from dvd, tv, vhs, etc.I had backup files of my Cowon movies on my PC (in WMV format) and dragged one feature length movie into the coversion software window.Then hit the "convert" button and waited.The rendering took about twenty minutes for the two hour film but the software ran rock-solid.
I then took the tiny (18MB) file of the converted video and dumped it into the Ninio, exited and prompted to disconect the USB.
I turned on the player and accessed the Video section and found my flick, hit Play and voila!....There was my whole movie playing on a device the size of a graham cracker!!!Amazing to think that the next time I am stuck at work waiting for a rehersal to get started (I am a sound engineer) I can watch some Forensic Files (or what have you) and not die of boredom!
The video is clean for the fairly low frame-rate (12-15fps) but the software has a feature which adds a still frame when there is none, so the result is pretty stable and jitter free.The audio was clean and no artifacts.The unit allows you to fast-forward and rewind also!You do have to pause the movie to adjust its' volume but that's no big deal considering how cool it is to watch a movie from the palm of your hand!
Now...I have only converted and loaded vids that were WMV so others may have less exciting results.
I also loaded some jpeg pictures and text into the unit which both worked well.
The included FM radio feature is nice with great reception and even a record feature!The voice recorder is as good as most dedicated voice recorders on the market too.
I have only owned the device for two days so I can't really comment on battery life although it seems reasonable.
The unit is well made for the price.The manufacturing tolerances are not nearly as high as a real ipod nano, but then again you can't watch a feature length film on the nano either!
The included ear-buds suck and to add to the "suck factor" the output jack is 3/32" too!I bought some connectors today to make an adapter so I can use my Sony's.
Some people may complain about the audio output at only about 15mw too, but a better set of buds make a world of difference!
Last word to the wise.....If you have marveled at the ipod nano...save your money and buy this!I am a discerning listener and viewer and not one of those "pod-heads" that cram thousands of songs they don't know or like on their devices for the hell of it.I put what I like and will use on the unit...after all, these things are supposed to be an escape from the world into a world of your choosing.Hope this helps.

Multimedia 256MB MP3 Player, FM Radio, Video Player, Voice Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally got this MP3 player because I lost my Apple ipod, so I didn't want to spend much.$49 for an replacement MP3 seemed like a reasonable deal.It didn't have the same slick look as the ipod did. But after using it for a few days, I really fell in love with this little MP3 player, and began doubting why I would buy an apple ipod at 4 times the price and less function?I think this MP3 is the best deal, and has much more features than the apple ipod video.
Things I like about it:
1) FM radio has very good reception
2) Voice recorder recordes very well, and easy to use.
3) MP3 play many formats, much better than ipod's limited choices
4) Very small, fits easily in my pants or shirt pocket
5) I really like the dual ear-phone plug design.I can listen to it together with my kids on the airplane.This is a very nicely thought out feature that I didn't expect.
6) The built-in speakers work quite well for its tiny size.
7) All the features for less than 50 bucks!

Things I don't like:
1) The operating instructions was written in English, but written by Martians!It took me a while to figure out what the user's manual was trying to say.
2) It comes in only 2 colors.I got the white, which looks pretty good.But I wish they had a metallic blue one.
3) The welcome video:it's a funny and strange video welcome.You'll see why.But you can change it.

It's also supposed to be able to read e-book, but I don't have ebook so haven't tested that feature.

All in all, this is a great deal.I give it 4 stars.

Creative Labs NOMAD MuVo NX 128 MB Flash Drive MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first purchased the RIO sports mp3 player (the red one).Anyway, it was a piece of junk.I took it back and got this one!This thing is the best! the detachable portion that holds the battery is replaceable, which means if you drop it, most likely it will fall on the detachable battery until and leave your player in tact.I just can't say enough about this player,, in the 50 hours of use I have used it, I have not had one problem!It has suffered swet, drops and general abuse and has held up wonderfully!

TrekStor i.Beat p!nk 2 GB Video MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this MP3 player because it's small, light and stylish, it has a lot of neat features, and it's less expensive than the others out there.The screen is bright and sharp, and the touch buttons get you to the different menus very easily.There's plenty of room for songs and pictures and it plays videos without a problem (the earphones included are excellent too).One of the most important things that separate this player from the others (especially ipod) is the battery life.It really lasts a long time.Other cool functions are: the radio with 20 station presets, the sound equalizer, and my favorite - the voice recorder function.I have a lot of fun with that one!Overall, this player has everything I wanted.It's well-crafted, the design is unique, and it's inexpensive.I'm very happy with mine.

Trekstor 74412 i.Beat emo 2GB MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased my 2gb Trekstor i.beat EMO from Office Depot for $[...] with a $[...] rebate, which makes the final price $[...]. I was very surprised to find that this is a really good gadjet. The packaging is really top notch, and the player it does everything that it is supposed to. I charged it, and downloaded around 100 songs. It seemed to take around 5 seconds to download each song. I really liked the sound quality. You have 19 EQ presets to choose from. It comes with software to convert MPG, AVI, and WMV to SMV format in order to play video on the unit. I downloaded a couple of free videos from the net and converted them. The software worked quickly, and the download to the trekstor worked perfectly. I was very satisfied with the video playback on the unit. The screen is tiny and the resolution is not the greatest, but I am satisfied with the look of it considering the cost of the player. The headphones are also nice. It has the lanyard that goes around your neck with a clip on holder for the mp3 player. It's nice that you can keep the whole unit together for simple use. It also has an FM radio/recorder. You can record FM broadcasts as well as use it as a voice recorder. I am sure that there are a lot of people that will unfairly compare it to an ipod or other expensive players. This is a great choice for someone looking for a great MP3 player for a giveaway price. You cannot beat this deal for $[...]. I think that it is worth $[...] if you cant find one on sale. The Trekstor EMO looks great and sounds great. You can't go wrong with this one.
