3.0 out of 5 stars Good player with caveats, March 31, 2005

I've been using the Mojo 1 player for a year and a half now. If you're interested in the Mojo you're interested in listening to music without wires. The danger with any headphone style mp3 player is that however good the mp3 player, you're still at the mercy of the headphone quality. Most audiophiles would avoid the Mojo 1 -- these are not Grado SR60s. But they are decent headphones. There is no lcd screen but you figure out how to operate it with your fingers. The Mojo 1 runs on one AAA battery, but when the battery charge gets to around 1.25/1.5V on my 750mAh Energizer rechargeable batteries, the charge becomes too weak for the Mojo. To me that's plenty of time; still remember to carry spare AAA rechargeable batteries. The Mojo 1 has 128mb of internal memory but you won't want to keep your mp3s in the internal memory, that requires using either a musicmatch or moodlogic plugin to convert your mp3s to a proprietary DRM'd .mjm format. The Mojo 1 will not play regualr mp3s in the internal memory, only converted mjm files. The Mojo 1 will record FM radio from the tuner onto the internal memory only so you may want to save the internal memory for recording radio snippets (in .wav format), or else to save jpgs or other non-music files. Normal mp3s will play from external SD cards, but only SD cards up to 512mb. I tested a 1gb RiDATA 66x card in my Mojo 1 and it choked. If you have a TDK Mojo 1 please write to TDK customer support asking them to create new firmware so that the Mojo 1 will support 1gb SD cards. While TDK has been sitting on their hands, others have been innovating. Check out the izon: http://www.globalat.com/bluetoothheadset.html which supports bluetooth AND has an SD card slot. If you need wireless now, the TDK Mojo 1 is still probably your best bet (I'd like to hear from an Izon owner though), but if you can wait, another generation of wireless headphones may be just around the corner.

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad, March 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: TDK HPMP3-100AX MOJO 1 Headphone MP3/FM Player (128 MB) (Electronics)

The little unit works pretty well.

A couple of things they don't tell you...

1. Although the device looks like a standard usb storage device when connected via the USB, you apparently cannot copy mp3 files directly to the device's memory. They have to be "encrypted" using the supplied cheezy moodlogic software. Music files cannot apparently be copied from the device to your PC. Big brother again I guess. This does not seem to hold true with the mmc/sd card slot.

2. For decent FM reception you must use a small 2.5" supplied FM antenna that is screwed into a threaded slot on the left earpiece. On my unit it's in a matching grey color and stays reasonably flush in the direction of the headband.

The unit shoulds good and is indeed quite wirefree. Records FM to internal memory, which is a neat feature.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst customer service EVER!, January 19, 2006

Lousy controls (can't see what you are doing and buttons stick - I ended up with headaches from pushing the buttons so hard while running). Stupid format - mjm. Cannot play real MP3, then you have to subscribe to their Moodlogic (more money). Be careful, it automatically converts the first 100 songs (you don't get to pick) in your library to mjm, then you HAVE to pay to Moodlogic to convert the rest.

I bought my MOJO1 in May, it would eat up batteries about 1 every two weeks (and I only run 3-4 days/week). It stopped working (SD card would actually "skip" like a CD) in August and, after numerous online chats and emails (TDK has the WORST Customer Service I have ever, REPEAT EVER, dealt with - they don't respond to email request in a timely manner and you cannot talk to them, you have to CHAT) I sent it back to them for "repairs." Well, that was September. I heard NOTHING from them for almost FOUR months! Finally, after more emails and chats (you cannot TALK to a rep to save you life), they asked me if I would accept a MOJO256F as a substitute.

I'm taking them up on it, but I don't have high hopes. They should have stuck to making media.
