The kubik evo is a rather nifty little number, which like the other kubik edge models is cheap and cheerful. For 8GB of space £35 is rather reasonable. The battery life is also quite impressive, and the earphones are a little better than the usually tut supplied with players. There are also a couple of nice functions which you don't get on the most basic of players, like shuffle, (they call it random setting or something), a photo viewer and a radio. The whole thing is pretty small- ipod nano sort of size, (there are some good pictures of it next to a credit card above).

Of course there are a few points to be improved; when files are put onto the player they are automatically sorted into file name order, (why?- they never did this on any of their other products). And despite a lot of trying, I couldn't get my videos to work on the player, using the software suggested, or otherwise. The weird thing is, the sample videos work perfectly. Perhaps it is only meant for short videos? Still, I only wanted the player for music, and if you're serious about video playback capability, you'll want something with a bigger screen.

However, I found that to get around the auto file sorting, you need to access the way windows media player, (or any other software) puts the music on the device. In the sync options of WMP, it is possible to change the settings for the player. If 'create folder hierarchy' is unchecked, then the music will be put on the player in the order you choose.

So overall its a nice little player, at a reasonable price- of course its not as flashy as an ipod, but if you just want to play music, it's perfect. Just don't rely on the bells and whistles.

Nice 10 Dec 2011
By Jvr
Length: 1:16 Mins
Don't know if someone said it before, but it's very light. You can lose it from your pockets and you won't realize :/
First the good things. The amount of space is large enough -at least for me- to play all the music you have. Really, you may have 10+ GB of music in your computer but do you really listen to all of the songs? I put all the music in this player when I bought it and I think I won't need to remove any song in a long time. Anyway, if you need some extra space, the MicroSD slot will be your salvation.
You can play music by artist, album, all of the songs together, ramdom mode... as usual. Besides you can read the lyrics while playing music. You can also play videos, but well, I'd prefer not to do so with that screen.
I've read in a few reviews that a big problem this MP3 has is that you can't resume the music at the point you left it after turning it off. Well, sometimes it's worth it to read the instructions book the device comes with. The "Breakpoint player" option in the "Music" menu will do it fine. Ok, you have to pause music, go back to the Music menu and select "Breakpoint player". Not as simple as pause and turn it off, but it's something.
The price, perfect. I won't find anything cheaper in physical stores, not where I live at least.

The bad things could be the provided earphones. The quality sound is bad, really bad. However, I actually paid for a MP3 player, and we all know you'll have to buy your own earphones separately. Just use them to check your device works fine.
Also, this player is made of plastic... sometimes it looks like it's going to break apart when pressing buttons. Mine is still in one piece after 3-4 months, so no problem. Really, it won't break unless you throw it against the wall or something.
And the last thing, at the beggining it will be hard to get used to the buttons: press Vol button to go back to the menu, Menu button to play a song... Not very intuitive, but after 2 days it won't be a problem at all.

So, 5 stars. These "disadvantages" are not big headaches at all.

PS: I've uploaded a video where I show what I said about resuming music. In the video I was playing a song, then pause it. Went to the Music menu and pressed the Menu button when "Breakpoint player" was highlighted. Then turned it off, turned it on, selected "Breakpoint player" again and the music resumes where I left it. The song is "Like Toy Soldier", you can check it's the same before and after turning it off. You can also hear the plastic-sound when I press buttons.
Sorry for the bad quality, I recorded it with my old mobile phone.

Reasonable. 23 Aug 2011
By Tomas
It's a good player for the price.
Some key points.
Sound Quality is excellent, compared to some other players for the same price, and most mobile phones.+2
Interface is weird to get used to, but still gets the job done. +1
Software sometimes bugs/glitches with converted files. So if your downloading songs from Youtube sometimes you might notice something like delayed songs. -2
Has a game for when your bored and rocking out to songs, that doesn't interfere with your music. +1
Battery is LONG Lasting. I actually left it on in my locker at work for 4 hours and it only burnt half of its battery.+1

Hope this review gonna make you buy this one since its really good considering the price.
