Negative Positive
Title: Worked great.. for a while.
Review: Bought one of these for my 14 year old son, who used it almost constantly. Thought it was so cute I bought one for myself as well. After about 2 weeks he complained that the play/pause button (also the on/off button) was difficult to push. A few days later he couldn't get it to work at all. Given that I paid almost nothing for it, I wasn't about to mess with sending it to Coby, so I opened it up to see what was going on. Problem was basically a poor design. The little push buttons stand up at right angles to the PC board inside, and when you press on them it strains the tiny little solder joints that hold them down, eventually breaking them. The play/pause button is especially weak since it's on the end. I swapped units with him and told him to be real careful with the buttons. He was, and was able to get another 6 months out of the thing before the second one died the same way. I guess there's a good reason that Coby's products are "budget priced"..
