5.0 out of 5 stars Better than IPOD, December 27, 2004
This review is from: BenQ Joybee 150 MP3 Player (Purple/256 MB) (Electronics)
This little thing has it all. Synchronization with text is great(one drawback is you program it one line at a time with each song yourself). It is so light and the size of two matchboxes. You can also program the start up and end menus with a black and white picture of your choice. I had it for 2 days now and learned as much as I could. The manual is on the cd rom. I prefer paper because it is hard to navigate its 40 pages. It comes with a little grey bag and a black holder and strap.
The radio is nice. I tried the microphone and was surprised to find out it works without a mic attachment.You can use it for storage transportation too. It really has a good sound quality. I can truly say that the crazy teens and niave kids of today can shove it with thier ipods. I didn't waste my christmas wish on an overpriced, overhyped item. I know I still have cash left in my wallet.The fact it can hold about 100 songs is great for the price. I would definately buy this product!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Neat Little Gadget, December 18, 2004
This review is from: BenQ Joybee 150 MP3 Player (Purple/256 MB) (Electronics)
I bought this MP3 player after returning the 125 Joybee from BenQ I was satisfied with the Sound quality of the 125 so I opted for this model as I wanted a better menu functionality ...this one has better navigation with the menus. The Sound quality is great the headphones supplied with the set are short and I don't like the fact that the left ear headset cord is shorter than the right ear one. I am using the same USB cord that I have for my digital camera (This Cord is always plugged into my USB Port) it is good that the cord is universal in nature now with the same cord I can transfer pictures as well as music.

Transferring mp3 files is as easy as drag and drop you can create a directory structure in your Hard Disk and just drop it into the additional drive that shows up the moment you plug this into the USB port. The FM reception is good I tried recording a sound via FM and it was good. The e-reader is a neat feature though I did not find any use for it so far maybe I will use it to store my shopping list (Txt files can also be dragged and dropped).
The Joybee 150 can also be used a storage device.
Overall a good value for money ... search the net and you will find good deals for it ..
