What's Good:
Flexible. Adequate if not spectacular sound. I don't think the Bass Xpander feature works as well as other reviewers say as it compresses the sound making music sound muddy and speech boomy. Manual mono-stereo switch for FM is a plus. Looks good. Solid with no vibration rattles but the plastics fit could be a bit better. Line in and headphone socket is useful. USB and SD (not SDHC or SDXC) are this machines best feature.
What's Not So Good:
No recording or ripping facility. Its strictly a player only. It also has problems with certain WMA files which from what I can see are within the spec given in the user manual. These are ripped streams from BBC radio which I have to convert from WMA to...WMA! and then they play without problem. BBC mp3 podcasts play without difficulty. Remote control does not do volume or mute, so really just a gimmick.
For the money its pretty good, particularly if you are not an iphone or ipod user. You need to have PC to get the full value from this box.
