BLUE MP3 Metal Mini Clip Player Supports 8GB Micro SD Card

 (29 customer reviews)

I bought the mini clip mp3 player as a Christmas gift, as when I saw the price, I thought I couldn't go wrong. And I am very glad I made this purchase, because it was certainly well worth it. The mp3 player arrived in the mail before the estimated arrival date, but it didn't come in any type of casing. It was just in the shipping package, and included the music player, a pair of headphones (cheap pair), usb cable, and instruction manual. I had to test it myself before giving it as a gift and it seems to work great. It seems to be built nice and solid, as it has already been dropped a few times and still works fine. It even has a nice, bright led light at the bottom of it when it's turned on, which I did not expect to see. Yes, you do need to buy a micro sd card to be able to use it, but they are really cheap (I bought a 4gb for $2). It is sleek, small, and stylish, and I feel I made an excellent purchase. But it isn't a perfect mp3 player, but is any? One of my biggest complaints...Read more

Player arrived promptly, but with minimalist China/English instructions. No mention of how long it takes to charge nor any indication of when it's charged (seems it's internal LED flashes while charging and is solid when charged, several hours from flat dead), or how long it will play on a charge ( so far seems 3-4 hours ).

The supplied USB cable was bad, luckily I had one on hand that fit. No mention is made of how the controls work, but the unit will fast-forward if the 'next song' button is held down while playing. No audio indication of progress.

I find the sound quality acceptable and it has very adequate volume output.

The supplied headphones actually don't sound too bad, but are very inefficient with low volume (better than I expected)...

I do wish the unit offered a shuffle mode as it always starts up on the same song...

The major disappointment for me (again, I didn't expect much in the first place) was that the unit...Read more

I got one of these off of eBay, and I've discovered why everyone else is having problems.

The unit has no way to indicate low battery. When the battery is low, it will attach/detach from the computer repeatedly, or reboot while playing, or show noise in the output.

Transferring files from the computer to the unit drains the battery, even though the unit is plugged into the computer. Moving lots of music onto the device will drain the battery in an hour or two - filling a 4GB card can easily take this long.

Completely charge the battery *first* by leaving it plugged into the computer (and turned off) overnight.

Then only move 3 or 4 albums at a time into the unit, letting the unit charge the battery between times. Yes, this is a pain.

Knowing this, I've had no further problems with the unit. It seems to work fine.
