G02 8GB Clip MP3 Player with FM Shuffle, Portable Music Player with Sweatproof Silicone Case for Sports, Blue

UPDATE: I fixed the song formats to all fit within the supported ones, and it now works properly. Big tip I discovered: do not switch it to shuffle without turning the whole thing off first. I'm using it without shuffle at all, just to ensure it doesn't screw up. So far so good, and it's lasting a complete hike which is about 6 hours. I haven't tested it beyond that. Now I'm perfectly happy, and moving the star rating to 5. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After I finally figured out how to turn it on and off - the lights give no clue, and I ended up having to review the user manual a few times - I was very happy with how the player just clicked onto my shirt. The buttons are also good because they are clickable rather than a screen, and can be clicked without taking the player off. I also had no problem loading all my music. HOWEVER... the darned thing only plays about 20% of the music I put on it, no matter if it's in shuffle or standard mode! I hike, and am currently doing 5-6 hours at a time. The battery holds up, but there's only so much of the same 40 songs I can listen to repeatedly without groaning. It makes the whole thing pretty useless. I don't have a problem with the sound quality. While it's not that of noise canceling headphones, it's clear and the volume control is fine too. I'm hiking rather than working out, so I can't speak to any of those other aspects. I'm pretty disappointed because of the limited music it self-selects.

This is a neat little mp3 player for the price! Simple instructions and functions, very easy to use and holds a bunch of songs. Personally, I love to shuffle my playlists. Brings back the days of MTV, FM radio or the K-Tel compilation records, when there was no rhyme or reason to the order of the songs. It was always a grab-bag. That's what this little player does so well. But, you can turn that feature off, so everything will play in downloaded order, too. No downloading apps or spending 5 hours to figure out the 472 steps to the one feature that you want to turn on. Just: On/Off, Shuffle/No Shuffle, FWD/REV, Music/FM Radio. If all you want is simplicity and quality at a reasonable price, this is the player for you. In fact, after just a couple of weeks using it, I bought another as a back-up!

Revised AGAIN 2/8/22 Replacement for #5 died after less than 45 minutes of use. Garbage. Revised 2/3/22 REVISING MY REVIEW-WAY LOWER. In the last YEAR I have had to buy FIVE OF THESE THINGS. The longest serving one lasted about 4 months. The shortest was about 4 days. These things work well while they work, but 110% will absolutely stop working abruptly. These things are positively horrendously manufactured. No QC whatsoever. That being said, if you don't mind having to return one every month, go for it. Here is how all of mind abruptly died: #1: 3/11/21 -5/5/21: Flat stopped working. #2: 5/18/21 - 11/7/21: LOUD Feedback, then abruptly stopped working #3: 11/14/21 - 12/21/21: Charging port MELTED #4: 12/22/21 - 1/22/22: MELTED again #5: 1/27/22 - 2/3/22: LOUD feedback, then abruptly stopped working. I will never order one of these again after I get the replacement for the most recent one. ___________________________________________ Overall, this thing is pretty damn good for 20-something bucks. I would give it 5 stars, but there are just two quirks that drive me crazy. Cons: -Repeats songs (With 500+ songs, I heard the same song 3 times in 30 minutes on Sunday) -Lag between songs is 2-3 seconds. Doesn't seem like much, but when you're exhausted and need that beat to keep pushing, a lag (and thus hearing your own breath for a second) can take some air out of the sails -Like others have said, make sure you turn it off. There is no auto-off of on/off switch (you hold play button to turn on/off), so you have to remember to turn it off. Pros: -Easy as heck to load -Excellent battery life -Good volume and controls -Great replacement for an iPod shuffle, especially given that used shuffles are going for 80+ on Ebay

I have used the IPod shuffle for years along with the SanDisk Clip Jam more recently and I love this player more than these other ones for two primary reasons: the interface and the price. The buttons on this player are very accessible even with it clipped to my waistband under my shirt. Volume up / volume down / next / previous and pause / play in the center. Very easy when you're running or working out. The buttons are large and responsive. There is a shuffle on/off slider on the side along with a radio/mp3 slider on the side. And if I drop it during a workout, I'm not out $100. The silicone sweat cover is good too in my opinion. I wish that it had a "lock interface" or "hold" physical slider too, but this is not often a problem with this player. It has a good charge time. How long exactly, I don't know. I have yet to have it run out of power on me mid-workout. I wish that it came in black. Blue is currently the only color I know of. Also, there is a faint, periodic, audible "click" in the background. I'm no audiophile. I don't much care about this. I don't hear it when music is playing, but during "dead air" in tracks, I can. This could be due to my headphones, I don't know. But it is there for me. I'd buy them again for sure.

Wanted a alternative to ipod shuffle for running. It's a good option. Pro- 1. Simple to use 2. Does the job - don't know how long it will last. But even if it runs a year at 2.5k it's worth it. 3. Audio quality is as good or better than the ipod (which is maybe 15 yrs old) Cons 1. 2 times as big as the ipod shuffle. 2. Not as durable or watertight as the ipod shuffle. 3. Cannot choose folders. Plays songs in shuffle mode or as added on the device. Can go for it if you find around 2.5k.

Very bad product.

I needed an MP3 player for my dad who's not very good with electronics, it has large buttons and is generally easy to use, perfect for his needs. Everyone was really impressed how well this worked, it also feels like a sturdy little device. One weird quirk with the device is that it plays tracks in the order they are copied, which is really strange, so you can't just drag and drop an album, you really need to drag and drop each song in order, which is not a great user experience. Other than that, really can't complain.

Comprei para ouvir música nas corridas. Como o produto concorrente com acesso a Spotify chega a custar em média mil reais, um preço fora da realidade para qualquer tocador de mp3 (o preço de um smarwatch com essa e outras funcionalidades), resolvi testar este produto, mais simples (sem acesso a spotify). Minhas observações: - Material frágil. O produto é feito de um plástico que aparenta bastante fragilidade. O encaixe do cabo de carregamento também parece frouxo. Não aparenta ter uma boa durabilidade. - Usabilidade terrível. Começa que não tem botão de desligar. Ele fica ligado direto e, mesmo com a leitura do manual e muita pesquisa no site do fabricante e na internet, não é possível saber como ele desliga. Nas várias vezes que usei, a luz permanece acessa por horas após o uso. Assim, parece que fica ligado até acabar a carga da bateria. E não dá para saber quando a bateria está fraca ou não. - Ainda quanto à usabilidade. Tem dois leds e você tem que consultar o manual para saber o que significa cada situação e combinação dos leds (piscando, aceso etc.). Um verdadeiro quebra cabeça. Não tem resposta por áudio. Assim, não sabemos quando alteramos o volume, se chegamos ao volume máximo etc. - Continuando com a usabilidade. A reprodução é confusa. Apesar de ter um botão para escolher modo aleatório ou em loop, não parece seguir qualquer padrão. Toca músicas aleatórias, outras não reproduz de modo algum, para de tocar de uma hora para outra etc. - Em relação ao uso em atividades físicas, ele não é à prova de água. Até acompanha uma capinha de silicone, mas nada que proteja contra água e suor. No meu caso, acabo envolvendo o produto em um saco zip bag. Enfim, é um aparelho bem básico. Mesmo não sendo caro como o produto concorrente, ainda tem um preço acima para o que oferece. Uma pena, pois me lembro que antigamente havia diversos mp3 players com a mesma proposta de muita qualidade.

Viene muy bien protegido, incluye una funda de silicón, cable, instructivo y garantía. Sin embargo es muy costoso, ya que hay opciones mas económicas. Si éste es el modelo que le solicitan, sí vale la pena comprarlo. Pero si está buscando opciones, hay otros modelos y marcas que tienen las mismas funciones por un precio muchísimo menor.
