I guess I could have said “and okay choice for the money”. I don’t care for much, personally. Feels cheap, fragile, not well made. All that being said, at $25, you really can’t go wrong.

I bought one a month or so ago, loaded it up, and it is still sitting on my desk, so perhaps I am not the best person to take a review from 🙂

Pretty okay starter player, I suppose. I suggest that you spring for a decent set of earbuds though. They’ll make all the difference in the world.
