Review on TIMMKOO Bluetooth Pedometer Waterproof Portable Portable Audio & Video by Brett Morrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great MP3. if you can handle these problems

This mp3 player is a great little mp3 player. It's small and has lots of storage space. But there are several problems with this. First, the battery life is terrible. It is written that the battery lasts 18 hours, but actually with headphones 18.7-9 hours with Bluetooth. When watching a movie, the time is reduced to 6 hours. For me it was much less. Maybe 3-5 hours via Bluetooth. So what you want to do is leave it plugged in all the time. Second, Bluetooth isn't that good. If your MP3 player is connected to your headphones or speakers via Bluetooth and you then plug it in to charge, you will need to reconnect the Bluetooth. When you record something, Bluetooth will be turned off. A few other things will disable Bluetooth. The only time it automatically reconnects is when the MP3 player stays on the entire time while your speaker is powered off and then back on. But the most annoying thing is that between two songs or after pausing a song, it crashes for the first few seconds after restarting. If none of these issues matter to you, buy it. Those issues aside, it was an excellent MP3 player. TO UPDATE. I spoke to the manufacturer and what I listed was a bad battery (which got fixed) and other issues I had are detailed here: 1. The player supports up to 18 hours of music playback using wired headphones, up to 7 Hours of music playback Music with Bluetooth headphones or up to 3-4 hours of video playback after a full charge. If the battery life is much shorter, the battery is defective.2. Normally the player does not turn off when it is charged. When you want to record, bluetooth must be off, after you finish recording, return to bluetooth interface, bluetooth will connect automatically. There may be something wrong with the Bluetooth interface.3. When you change songs or play back a song after pausing, playback takes about two seconds. After a while you get used to it and everything works fine for now. You can listen to it online via Bluetooth almost all day long. Having explained my concerns I would raise my rating from one star to four as I now know what to expect and these are not flaws.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
