MP3 Player, Arbily 16GB MP3 Players with Bluetooth, Portable HiFi Lossless Sound Music Player with 1.5 '' Touch Screen FM Radio Voice Recorder E Book Headphones and Back Clip Included Running MP3

I chose this to replace my beloved iPod shuffle (which now no longer retains charge for very long) based on the very good reviews on here, however I couldn’t initially understand how this device has received such good reviews. When using music mode the device doesn’t recognise a huge proportion of tracks, even within an album, saying ‘invalid file type’. I spent a couple of evenings erasing and reloading tracks onto the device to no avail and was very close to returning it. BUT i’ve discovered that it is easy to use and play tracks via the folder mode by just selecting ‘artist’ -> ‘album’ -> ‘track’ etc so now i’m happy with it.Sound quality is very good. Slight niggle is that the clip cover sits quite close to the earphone socket and due to the size of the moulding around my Sennheiser earphones jack it’s tricky to keep them fully inserted. I haven’t tried the included headphones yet but I don’t think these will have this problem.Recorder seems surprisingly good. Haven’t had it for long enough to comment on the battery life.The player is a bit bigger and heavier than my iPod shuffle so I haven’t been brave enough to clip it to the bottom of my exercise vest-top yet but it’s fine clipped to the waistband of my gym bottoms. Clip seems to be of good quality.Overall pleased with this (now that i’ve worked out how to actually play music on it!) but i’ve docked 1 star due to the wasted couple of evenings trying to get it to work!

Firstly I will begin by saying that this is a great value MP3 player! 16GB for £27 is a good deal but that doesn't mean that it's not without its faults.But lets start with the pros which are low price, high storage capacity, light and very compact. Good battery life (better when using wired headphones rather than Bluetooth). All key things when looking for an mp3 player so thumbs up there!!However many of the Amazon reviews of this MP3 player haven't highlighted it's main con and that's the software. Specifically the very poor USB connection speeds and painfully slow file transfer rates. I thought I was doing something wrong at first when it indicated that it would take over 3 minutes to transfer just one album from my computer. I used the supplied USB cable, and I even tried others too. My laptop is not old and usually transfers files in seconds to any external media which includes fast USB ports. So clearly the budget price is because of poor software. A little disappointing. However it didn't crash and after 1.5 hours of transferring MP3 files I filled up 10GB. A tip for transferring files you want is to first place all the albums you want onto a separate folder on your computer before then dragging all the albums to the MP3 player. This way you can just let it do its thing.So as long as you don't mind how time consuming it is to transfer files this is a good budget buy. It also doesn't have very good audio settings so you can't individually adjust mid, treble or bass. It does have some different default sound options though which at this price is acceptable. It sounds okay on my Bose AE2 headphones. Treble maybe a tad high and the max volume isn't ear splitting. I could pretty much listen to Metallica at full volume. So if you want your music super super loud this MP3 player isn't for you. But for casual use out running, in gym etc it's alright.

Nice and compact MP3 player. The clips make it easy to attach anywhere. It has a bluetooth function which enables me to connect my bluetooth headphones in no time. Good storage capacity and the device is easy to use. Great value for money.

Great elegant little MP3 player. Its clip is strong, the weight is light, so it's perfect for gym, running, biking, walks etc. Easy to load music by USB, easy to connect with any my earphones by Bluetooth, the screen is easy to control. The sound is clear and loud. The capacity 16 GB is quite enough for all my music.I am really happy so far.

Sadly had to send this it back as the sound quality was poor. Was great for the first week after that the music started to play at a much slower pace. Got good as this was my running tunes!! But I did love who easy it was to use and small it was. Perfect for when I went out running. Shame I had to send it back!

Fantastic product. I love listening to music when crafting but loath having to keep charging my old player. This one holds all the music I want, has brilliant battery life and super easy to use.

My husband loves it, it’s easy to use, practical... he doesn’t have any complains

Often disconnects from bluetooth, and freezes/crashes.UI is slow to navigate
