Review :
Thumbs up for:
- looks good for kids.
- unique design
- music sounds good.
Thumbs down for:
- no display
- very few features.
- Although it can be really loud it’s not easy to listen to for too long without your ears starting to ache from the treble
The final verdict:
There are lots of Mplayer out there in the market with more features than this one.but this the player for you if you are a Die hard Mickey fan .and it’s cute enough to make a great present.
style:
At last there is a music player for kids . I always felt that kids also have equal right to music as we (if you are not a kid) have and heres one for all those kids out there. and also for some kids inside some adults with none other than cartoon kingdom's most famous pair of ears.coming to the style , it has plenty of what you call as cuteness factor.Iriver offers the Mplayer in an array of colors–pink, black, silver, or white–all in high-gloss plastic
Design:
It has a mini(cute) USB port on the bottom and the strap loop and 3.5mm ear phone socket right between the ears.you can see both of these in the below pics.
There's a power button on the side of the head, as well as a reset hole. A tiny LED on the other side indicates whether the unit is on or off. It also has a lanyard loop so you can sport him pendant-like with the included necklace-style earbuds
other features:
As you might expect, the Mplayer has very few features because of the lack of a display. It supports MP3 and WMA audio files and offers a couple of navigational settings. If you twist both ears out at the same time, you can put the player into shuffle mode and it will randomly play all songs on the device. A short twist and then a twist and hold of the track shuffle ear lets you skip through folders. The player emits a beep to indicate navigation changes.
In the music department, the Iriver Mplayer performs admirably well for such a tiny device. The rated battery life of 9 hours is nothing to write home about, but it's not out of the ordinary for a player of this size. We didn't find the included earbuds to be particularly comfortable or great-sounding, but they should suffice for younger listeners. We don't recommend this MP3 player for children younger than 4, or anyone who might be tempted to put it in his or her mouth. Or anyone clumsy, for that matter: We accidentally dropped Mickey from a height of about 4 feet and half of an ear snapped off. We were able to snap it back on, but Mickey will never be quite the same. Also, the device gets pretty loud, so it's wise to teach any children using the device about listening at moderate volume.
Unfortunately, when it comes to its one and only function, the player
doesn’t deliver too well. The highs are way high and shrill, and the
lows are just not adequate. It was disappointing not to have thumping
bass in my ears, and the treble stealing the show. It could be a bit
harsh on the ears if the volume isn’t controlled properly.
price : A tag of Rs 3,499 for 1GB makes it overpriced
