Was looking for a cheapish Mp3 to replace my dead sony- mainly for use at work and when out and about on bike etc.. found this and checked it out-spec wise it is very good and the sound quality is terrific-this model has 8gb storage and came with sport earpieces and elasticated armband with velcro-very handy when on bike. Sync perfectly with ipod files and tranfers are so simple-great value and top quality-definately recommended- only complaint would be delivery time-quoted a vague window of 10 to 28 days from order-came on 11th day- but it did come from germany after all!
