I bought this mp3 player a month back in return of some points for my credit card shopping. I must say, this is a best buy in it’s segment. Easy to set up, charge, stylish and brilliant sound quality. I use Create Earphones with it which makes it almost like an apple ipod quality. I specially like the Equalizer feature in it which makes it adjust according to diff genre.
