User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Outstanding PMP and recorder
Outstanding performance on all levels and loaded to the gills with every feature you could possibly want. At long last someone finally did it right! The only two things this little wonder doesn’t do is voice record, or tune in AM radio.

Sound quality: Outstanding! So good in fact that you may notice some of the imperfections of your recordings/files that you may not have noticed in your other player/s. It’s output is very full and clean across the entire sound spectrum. The 5 band user adjustable EQ is quite effective as it actually has some gain instead of just attenuating every band that’s not maxed out as many others do. Also worth nothing is that it has the best S/N ratio of any PMP currently available.

Line in recording: Duel VU meters and an adjustable recording level as well as the ability to code in CD quality PCM (as well as several levels of WMA) make for a recordist’s dream come true.

Battery: Decent run time. It’s also user replaceable, but not that easy to replace on the fly as the battery has wires and a plug and the access door is held on with a small screw.

FM: More sensitive and selective than most other PMPs. Pulls in fringe stations with ease. Local stations do not overload at all. Less than great signals can be cleaned up do to the ability to manually switch to mono. Setting and recalling presets (as well as recording) is a breeze. It even displays RDS information form stations that transmit it.

Video: Good picture quality and sound. Video line out works well and has about the same quality as a well recorded on good tape EP or LP mode VHS..i.e not the best, but not half bad.

Photo: again good quality reproduction. Adjustable sideshow options…I just wish you could separate the photos into different groups. Perhaps in the next firmware update?

Folder browsing: Yessssssssssssssssss!

SD card slot: A nice touch. IMHO much better to deal with than MicroSD….and yes it will read SDHC (available up to 32 GB at this point in time!).

Bluetooth: Ok… so this I don’t exactly get the point of. Why bother with wireless on a portable device? Nevertheless it’s capable if you so desire for whatever reason to use the feature. Haven’t tried it myself.

Yes, I could just go on and on about it, but I’m sure you get the point by now. I really like it a lot….like ya couldn’t tell…8)
