Review on 🎧 AGPTEK A02 8GB MP3 Player, Lossless Sound with 70 Hours Playback, Supports up to 128GB, Red by Michael Vargas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little music player!

I've had this music player for a few weeks now and really love it. In contrast to the iPod, this AGPTEK is very inexpensive and has the following advantages: - Small form factor similar to the iPod nano. - Very light, ideal for traveling. - The sound quality is fantastic. I see no difference between AGPTEK and iPod playback quality. Excellent battery life. Some Revain specs say 50-70 hours of battery life and I believe this is based on some of my own testing. - Played all the media files I've thrown at it so far. - Features a side USB card slot. supports cards up to 128GB. If you have more than 128GB of music (wow!), you can quickly swap out the cards. - Can be connected (connected) to your computer via a standard micro USB cable and read/write to a USB stick like any other USB stick. - Has a built-in FM radio, handy for overseas trips and curious airwaves - Tiny built-in microphone lets you record small voice notes - Turn on/off with a simple toggle switch on the bottom of the unit. No wonder it's really over. The LCD is the perfect size, not too big to add bulk to the device, not too small to make the display difficult to read etc. A wide range of colors are available. The blue one I received has a "soft touch" finish that makes the device non-slip. However, there are some areas where the product could be improved as I don't think they affect the overall usability (for me) it would be unwise to deduct a star: The LCD screen has a fairly low resolution and frame rate. I just play music and it shows the titles and album art and it's perfect for that. You can supposedly play movies on the device, but you really have to hate yourself to watch them on that 1 inch screen! - The menu navigation and the position of the dial is a bit strange and takes some getting used to at first. After a little use you get used to it and get to any place pretty quickly. The rim around the front of the device would be a bit more aesthetic and tactile if it were a bit more rounded. In general, This music player is ideal for traveling and keeps your music collection close at hand. I would recommend this to anyone without hesitation, but I especially recommend it to travellers!
