Owned a Ipod Nano 8gig for a while, but wanted more storage while keeping a small player. The Vibez 12gig fit the bill perfectly. And it is a better player to boot. Excellent sound quality and features. I really like not being tied to Itunes to import music too. Now I just use the windows file manager to transfer music over.

Only quibble is it is a little too easy to jostle the jog wheel, interrupting a currently playing track. But overall the best dap I have owned, by far.

Excellent player

ByB. Hallon March 26, 2007

Verified Purchase

I spent quite a bit of time deciding which mp3 player to purchase, and I had narrowed down my decision to either an iPod or a Zune, but the TrekStor Vibez came along at the last minute, and after reading many online reviews, I decided to purchase a Vibez, and I couldn't be happier.

First of all, my desires in an mp3 player were:

1. Great sound quality

2. Gapless playback

3. multiple file format support

4. usable in Linux

5. user replaceable batteries

From my experience, the Zune has better sound quality than iPod, but the iPod has gapless playback, which the Zune currently does not have. These two items were most important to me, so either choice would have meant I was compromising what I wanted.

The Vibez player has everything I was looking for and more. It has superb sound quality, has true gapless playback, allows playback of mp3, ogg, flac, and wav files, and it does not require any software installation. This is great because I don't have to tie my device to one PC or one software installation. And since I use both Linux and Windows, I can plug the Vibez into either and just drag and drop music files with no hassle, and then the player creates every playlist I could ever want based on ID3 tags.

As far as batteries go, the battery is easily replaced, and new batteries run about $20.

If you're concerned about having a larger screen, the Vibez won't be up to par, but if you just want a great sounding player, with great features and true gapless playback, the Vibez is a great choice. I have absolutely no buyers remorse, and would definitely make the same decision again.

Excellent SQ, small, and logical player

Byanonymouson July 19, 2007

I don't want to say much, this player is simple, what I expect one to be like, and it works great. It has amazing sound quality (I heard pretty much every single other player on the market). Putting music onto it is as easy as drag&drop, the player basically works like a flash drive that plays back music. The interface is comfortable, although the controller takes a bit of time getting used to. I am not worried much about the control as long as I can do it quickly and the player works well (which it does, I had it for about 4 months now). You can use it while jogging, it will not skip. It supports gapless playback for those of you that matters, and gapless it is, I used a continuous album that was just broken up into tracks for comfort, and had my friend listen to (he had no idea what he was listening to). He could not even tell that he listen to 3 tracks, evidently, when he asked me 'how long is this song?'
The player has an excellent EQ, bass/treble or 5-band parametric. I use it to boost the bass on my headphones a little bit, and it does not bloat, just makes it punchier and more audible.

When you get this player, make sure you do not select that you live in France (when starting it up), or the volume will be very quiet. If you think it is quiet, reset it, go through the start up process again and select that you do not live in France =] You will be surprised as to what the 7 mw output can do.

Highly recommended, although it is best if you grab some better phones to go with it. If you need isolation, I highly recommend something from Etymotic, Westone, or Shure to go with this player in order to fully be able to enjoy what it brings to the table.

I do not work for Vibez, I am just an audio enthusiast. If you have any questions with regard to this review, or anything in audio, feel free to contact me at [..]

A different drummer

ByR. A.on May 6, 2007

Verified Purchase

The Vibez is a great altenative for those who don't want to partiicpate in the I-Pod universe. I tried out several other other devices from Cowon and Samsung before choosing the Trekstor. The Vibez has more storage than the Samsung and comparably priced I-Pods and it is much faster than the Cowon hard drive device. Its size and weight make it much more convenient to carry than most other devices. The best feature is its menuing. It is quick and easy to get to the music and I can do so with far fewer clicks than I can with my wife's I-Pod. The dial control does take a couple hours to learn to manipulate well.

The Vibez is good looking and well built with a metal back and buttons that feel substantial and durable. Battery life has been very good. The only negatives I can think of are the periferal items that come with the Vibez. There is no wall charger so charging takes place through a standard usb cable when you connect to a computer. Also, Vibez accessories are limited and have not yet reached stores in the USA.

All in all, I am very happy with the Trekstor: good musical reproduction and compatibility with OGG and flac formats, style, ease of use, durability. It does sync with XP Media Player so...if you want a less expensive alternative to the I-Pod and enjoy the beat of a different drummer this is the one for you.

I purchased the 12G Vibe last summer. I love the audio quality. It is fairly easy to load music. The vibe is very sturdy-mine goes everywhere with me, and I am not the most careful person in the world. I recommend buying the neoprene case for protection. Yeah, you can't use the scroll wheel, but it is pretty redundant anyway. The case has saved me from accidentally switching songs midstream. I have already started using the spare battery I bought-don't know if I didn't recharge the first one properly or what (I wait until it is dead to recharge.) First battery just stopped accepting a charge. My only quibbles are the sensitivity of the scroll wheel and lack of support for the Vibe. Other than that, it is great.
