Title: Pretty good, although a few flaws
Product review: What I like: Compact size. MP3 sound quality is good. Add a cheap 256Mb flash card, and get many hours of music on it. Fairly rugged -- I've dropped it a number of times, and it's still working fine (cross fingers). FM radio is passable for very strong signals. Bundled ear plugs are perhaps the first that actually fit my ears, and sound half-decent (but see below).What could be improved. FM reception not great -- don't buy this for the radio. Unlike the rest of the unit, the ear plugs are not water-resistant. If you use this while working out, they will soon soak up the sweat and sound like garbage. The menu controls on the front are prone to being accidentally pressed. I wish they made them recessed and a little more fool-proof. Would prefer to directly drop files on this via Win XP, rather than forced to use their software. Some MP3's freeze the controls. The only way to recover is to power down and up.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
