Great sound!!!!
I've had this unit now for about 3 months. Gave it a thorough workout. It has great sound. Is easy to operate. The software is a bit out-dated. Ran an update of the software and found the new software much better than the software that comes with the unit.
An objective review beyond reasonable doubt
Good stuff. Got recorder (up to 1 hour for 2GB), retractable built-in USB flash drive device, charging while connect to computer, and touch-sensitive buttoms, FM radio, and reasonably price.
Notwithstanding, disappointed me by relatively short playing time, 15 hours (many other products can run up to 30 hours), especially not so accurate battery-remaining indicator. It cannnot hold compress file. If it is played all day long (15 hours), it might need to charge everynight. Hereby, I subtract 1 star from the rating.
great MP3 player
This is my 3rd mp3 player. So far I love it. The touch buttons are great. It is so easy to use, I really do like this product.
small and cheap , but has everything in it
I love this product.I currently have Cowon D2 and i-Pod shuffle, but I need this kind of MP 3 which has decent fuction.
For me, I don't need a big color screen MP3 to carry around, but I want to choose the music that I want to listen.
In other words, you can't do anything when you use shuffle because the fuction is way simple and stupid.
Yeah right, you can choose next song and previous song with shuffle.
However, on this U3, you can choose differenct kinds of music mode(rock, jass, concert hall, and so on), which I like. Also, it has voice recording system and repeat fuction, so it's more useful when you learn different languages just like me.
This comes with a plastic clip that you can attach behind(which is more secure than the shuffle clip).
At last, a lot of people are complaing about the touch pad, but they will know how those are if they use touch pad phones. So, I will say " Use a Hold button".
Over all, this is not perfect, but excellent considering its price.
Perfect for me...
I'm not a high-tech person at all and had never purchased a MP3 player before, so I read MANY product reviews on several websites before ordering two of these MP3 players - the green one for my 10 year-old daughter and the pink one for myself. When they arrived, I plugged each one into my computer and started downloading music right away using my Windows Media Player. Within an hour the MP3 was charged and ready to go! We have both been very pleased with them, and feel that for the money we got a great deal! All things considered - price, our computer & software, price range, "low-tech" abilities, and song needs - this MP3 player is perfect! A Note on the colors: think "highlighter" green and "highlighter" pink! Yes, they are bright, almost "candy" colored, both lighter and brighter than the photos show. I was surprised at first, but still love them!
