Great video/mp3 player for the price!

When my 1GB Sandisk MP3 player gave up the ghost I stumbled across Amazon looking for something the same size and functionality. I wasn't looking for a video player but came across this player which had more memory than my old player for comparison. i bought him This player turned out to be MUCH larger than I expected from a "Coby" video/mp3 player. Yes, the screen is small, but if you're in the market for something that plays video you might not be interested, or there are complaints that the…

Garbage! Internal Components

I rarely write reviews but wanted to warn people who are considering buying this MP3 player - it crashed a couple of times and died completely after only 2 months. Coby Customer Service requires a $6 money order for return shipping to qualify for warranty. If you add the shipping cost, it comes out to around $10-$12. Considering the item costs $16, it's not worth the hassle. Their customer service is very rude, after waiting on the phone for about 15 minutes and expressing my surprise at the…

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price

DO NOT BUY good for built-ins

I know it looks handy but it's cheap and you get what you pay for - can't turn the volume up high enough to be in the tone - plus only one Page headphones work a few days after you get them in the mail - you won't be able to enjoy them anyway - do yourself a favor, spend some extra money on something else - the hassle isn't worth the price

Pros
  • Great range
Cons
  • Long time

Worth at least a try

Pretty decent device. It's fairly easy to get the files onto a system using the included software. It is easy to use as the menus are simple. I only tried the video and radio parts as they can be some of the most difficult. The bad part is that fast-forwarding and rewinding a video is difficult because it doesn't always register that you've pressed the button, or it only registers for a moment. Pressing and releasing will skip to the next chapter. So you should see where this leads. Also, the…

  • Special offer

Good for the price but not for those who like volume

For $20 this couldn't be better. It was very easy to drag and drop files into it. It played music for me a few minutes after unpacking. The battery life is excellent. I've had it for about a week and haven't charged it yet! The sound quality is excellent if you have good headphones. The earbuds that come with them suck, but to be honest the earbuds that come with all MP3 players suck, even with expensive iPods. I have a nice set of Sennheiser in-ear headphones that sound really great with this…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Coby MP601-2GBLK for computer components

I loved it when I got it. For less than $20, it had good sound, FM radio, and ease of use. Unfortunately, the screen broke after only two weeks. It lights up but doesn't show anything. This was Revain's first unsuccessful purchase. Like many other negative reviews I think you get what you pay for. Sent it back to Revain for a refund and will try the SanDisk Clip+ instead.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Great for the price

I teach first grade. Bought 10 of these players for hearing centers. Out of 10, 9 still work. Children aged 6-7 years deal with it every day. I used to use CD players. CDs will get scratched and we will use TONS of batteries a year. These turntables are easy to manipulate with small hands. The display screen helps you navigate the player. The only downside is that some of my students have trouble working with the power button. You have to hold it down for 5 seconds for it to turn off. Also, a…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
