I like this player a lot.

Size - This MP3 player is very compact and lightweight.

Look - The brush aluminum look makes it very modern and stylish.

Built-in USB Plug - This is a saver if you plan to use it as USB flash drive. It will save you to bring along or buy an extra USB cable. And since it is retractable, it doesn't make the player any larger when it is not needed.

Rechargeable battery - This is one of best feature that I like the most. I don't need to worry about buying batteries. Addition to the AC adapter, it also allows me to recharge the battery by plugging it in to the computer's USB port.

Earphone - The material of earphone that came with this player is only so so. It has a very plastic feeling. But the sound quality that it puts out is not too bad.

Radio - The receiver is not very strong. I constantly getting weak signal and have to point the device to different position to get a better signal. But it is still better than the other players.

MP3 - It plays MP3 and WMA. The sound quality is very good. It is definitely above average. It also puts out nice bass.

I just got mine in the mail last week, and I gotta say I love it. This is my first Mp3 player, but I am not new to electronics and computers.

Quality is grade A and the styling is pretty cool too. I was pleasantly surprised at the volume and sound quality. After listening to punk rock for the last 20 years or so, I need it loud...and this does the job. I only need to crank the volume up to 3/4's.

I've taken it running twice, and over the weekend I wore it for 8 hours straight while doing yardwork and building a fence in the back yard. I wish it had a belt clip of some kind, but I just tuck into my belt, and it stays put. It never faltered and still hadn't died when I put it on the charger.

The case for it is very convinient and helps protect it from scratches and such.


Over all I'm quite happy. I'd definitely buy their stuff again.

As a college student I use the mp3 player for my foreign language classes, the usb drive for my class photos, the radio for radio (npr) and it just works. It isn't the easiest thing to learn but after a day I could fiddle with it still in my pocket. The radio can be staticy but moving it a foot or two usually fixes it. The repeat section function is very usefull. The 256 mb is just barely big enough for what I need. It feels solidly built and is pretty darn small. They should have given one of these to each Duke student instead of the iPods. Sorting mp3's can be a hassle but is fixable. It isn't completly intuative but it is the swiss-army knife of this new century.

When my joybee came I was very excited and thought it looked very slick and neat. Well the thing stopped working the same day I got it. The usb wire never worked in the first place and the player itself broke a bit later. This is from carrying it in my pocket for 4 hours btw, not even playing it. Not running, not jogging, walking in a store with loose fitting jeans. I'm hoping for everybody else I just got a dud but I'm not taking any chances.

While it did work it was decent, not the best but decent.

I'm now in the process of trying to get my money back. I don't even want another product by this company. I just want my money back so I can buy a player that won't break.
