This charges on its charging cord overnight, and the best I get on duration before the battery is dead is approximately 3.5 hours. The set-up/controls are not intuitive so they are a hassle to figure out. I previously had a Ruizu for years that was much better than this. I have a Genreen brand that looks just like this one, but takes a more standard cord (that's another drawback on this item) and it keeps a charge for much longer, with more user-friendly interface on the controls. Will be returning.

Simple little mp3 player for kids. No Bluetooth, no internet. Just add parent approved songs, plug in wired headphones, and you're on your way. The earbuds it comes with have one set of one size silicone bits, which did not fit my 8 year old 's ears, but reasonable ear buds or headphones are widely available in a range of affordable prices, and the inclusion of a pair with the mp3 player wasn't a factor I was concerned with when shopping.The navigation around menus on the device is not at all intuitive, no manual is provided, and it took both of my children a day of use before they figured out how to get to the music they wanted.Overall, it fit the need, and we are happy.

I LOVE this thing! My old MP3 player was ok, but this one is SO much better. I thought the speakers in my car were trash. With the EQ this MP3 player has, my speakers actually sound great now! It's light-weight and the storage was plenty more than enough for me.The ONLY downsides I can say is one, it's a bit of a pain to use at first. The buttons do not indicate all their functions, and setting up "shuffle" and "repeat" is confusing as well. You'll see what I mean if you get it. Second, would be nice for the battery to last longer. I feel like I have to charge this thing quite often, but I also do a lot of driving.Regardless, I HIGHLY recommend this MP3 player.

Loved the unit. However, returned it. Does anybody else have this problem- when in shuffle mode with the external card (and yes there is like 8K songs) a noticeable pause of almost 30 seconds takes place of silence until the next song is loaded and played. It drove me crazy. The files are not in folders or anything, the songs are all just stacked up on the memory card, and I have used this card in other players with out annoying pause of silence. I see no setting adjustment as you have on a computer for time between tracks. Everything else was great on the unit and would have kept it, if not for this glitch?

I have used these MP3 player for several years. The last year I have used Hotechs and they work the best. easy to add music. Sound is very good...most important...the MP3 player must have a volume button..this one does,, push the button twice set vol. push again. you are back to play. plug the MP3 player into the lap top, learn to drag and drop. The player will hold hours of music. charge after each use. I date the back and code A.B.C. ect. Each one has different music. I use a PHILLIPS head phone. they cost a little more but worth it.

BINGO! This device has exceptional sound for something so small. I love to listen to music as I read or work. This device is small enough to put into my pocket and carry around with no weight as even a smart phone would have. The earpiece is icing on the cake with the flexible, soft plastic in my ear. All of this for such a low price. I would recommend this to any and all of my friends.

Pluses:Sounds every bit as good as any other player, and I've run a few. This includes two different SanDisk models as well as my Galaxy S6 phonePrice is very attractive.Odd functionality to buttons, but you'll intuit your way through it fairly quickly.The unit will play entire library ( I've had others that only play selected album and stop)Quirks: Charging- came fully charged. First time it needed full charge, a screen came up indicating so, icon cycled showing charge level until done.Next time, it simply turned on and I could play music, but battery icon remained extremely low. After a day or two of plugging/unplugging USB cable, it finally acknowledged and began charging. Only in use a couple weeks, but now seems ok - never has run out of charge, just very odd performance of indicator and charging system in general.Minuses: Hard to pick on it for the cost, but the control button allocation is so strange - center button should act like "ENTER" key, but more often, you must hit "MENU" button to select Artist Folder, Album Folder, first song in that album folder until that song lands on the play screen. NOW you can use the center circular button to play or pause. Whew....How do I use it? Primarily plugged into an old receiver and speakers in shop to have steady library of my music playing without tethering my cel phone. Again, quality of playback equals any other source, so for $20 I've got most of my music library running for literally days (not including charge- seems to be about 8-12 hours between charging). Well worth the investment to me.Final plus: Vendor just sent me a message out of the blue making sure I was happy and offered help/replacement if I was not satisfied. Based on behavior of other outside vendors recently on Amazon, these people are stellar!Recommendation: Buy with confidence on this one.

Bought an IPod a few years ago, but now the battery won't hold a charge longer than an hour. I didn't want to spend all that money on another Apple product. I bought an MP3 player at Best Buy for $75 and returned it the next day. The sound was absolutely horrible!!! So, I went to Amazon and found this product. The sound is just as good, if not better, than the IPod. At a fraction of the price!!! The buttons will take a little getting used to, but I am very happy with this purchase. Definitely would recommend this to anyone.
