1.0 out of 5 stars Defective, cheaply made product--Times two!, March 29, 2007

What a great idea though. Just lousy execution. Headphones fit like wearing your left shoe on your right foot. I could have lived with that, since I was just going to use them for 45 minutes at a time at the gym, but after I charged it and set it up, there was only sound from one earpiece! Called Nextar cust svc, they said it was defective. So I sent it back to J&R and asked for a replacement (because I really, really, hate how my MP3 wires get tangled in my gym bag). So the good folks at J&R send me a brand-new replacement and I'm very excited. Charge and set up, then find that on/off button is broken (i.e., no way to turn it on or listen to ANYTHING). Could be because the product is very (I mean VERY) cheaply made. Well, you get what you pay for. Returning to J&R for a refund. Too bad.

Great headphone/mp3 player for the price. Works good. Bought 3 of them and now we have one for each member of our family. Nice because it does not have any cords and music is right on headphone. Great for working out. A little difficult to change tracks but once you get used to it, it does fine (track and volume is on the same control). Not a bad sound either.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wireless: A+++, Design: not so much, March 14, 2007

I got this mp3 player basically because it is wireless, and I wanted something I could listen to while in my art class without having to worry about the wires; because of the price ($15 + approx. $6 shipping), I thought I'd give it a try despite the lack of reviews.

This player is very easy to use, with the controls allowing you to adjust the volume, to go back and forth to different songs, pausing, etc.

One of the disadvantages is that it seems to automatically play the songs according to the artist who wrote them, so numbering songs doesn't allow you to create a unique play list.

The battery charge isn't tremendously long, about 3 to 4 hours, which for me is okay, especially since their isn't a huge amount of memory to store songs on. You can just drag songs into the player while charging it, so it's very simple to change your music.

The headphones don't fit my ears particularly well, which I found surprising since I have 2 behind the ear headphones that fit really well. I can get them to fit OK, but they aren't ideal. Too little space is left between the speakers and the plastic band, and the speakers go out at an odd angle unless you find the right spot to sit them. Once you do, they're fine.

Despite some flawed design, I give them 3 stars basically for being wireless and easy to use. I'll stick to my other player for extended listening, but when wires will get in the way of what I'm doing, these are good.
