By This review is from: Trekstor 74312 i.Beat sonix 2GB MP3 Player (Electronics) I bought this player brand new and used it for a year.
When I looked at the player, I noticed there was a hole to press to reset the player which I'd hadnt seen on my other player. My unit need to be reset frequently. I had to make sure that I always had a paperclip in my bag (an unbent clip could fit in the hole). The touch screen doesn't work well at all. The player would only accept my finger touch from certain angles. Only taps from my pinky would work. I live in NYC, so we have cold weather and you need to wear gloves in the winter. Forget trying to use the screen with gloves. It was annoying to have to take off my glove and then get the right angle, if i wanted to skip the song or change the radio station. The random play wasnt random. I already knew which song would play next, it never varied. When i would upload new songs, the system would throw in the new songs in the mix. Then it would be assigned a permanent spot. Same order...Read more By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Trekstor 74312 i.Beat sonix 2GB MP3 Player (Electronics) I purchased this about 6 months ago and use it daily to listen to audio books. The battery life is very good. I drive about 40 minutes each way, and only have to recharge it every two weeks or so. It also resumes in the place I left off. The glossy surface is very tough. I have not been particularly careful with it and there are still no scratches on the surface. I wish that it had more memory or an expansion slot, but it is good enough for what I do with it. One thing that I don't like is that the touch screen buttons are too sensitive and you must lock them with the switch at the top or you will accidentally activate a function you don't want to. There is not a clear separation between them either. It should be fine if you have small fingers. I have pushed the wrong button a few time because this. I paid around $[...] for this when I bought it and have been very happy with how it works. I also like the very small size 1 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Trekstor 74312 i.Beat sonix 2GB MP3 Player (Electronics) Initially impressed by Trekstor Vibez. Among other things their design seemed to be an excellent alternative to the ubiquitous iPod. Well, after buying and touting two Vibez-one 8 GB & one 12 GB-I am the unhappy owner of two non-working Vibez. Altogether I have 4 Trekstor portable audio players-none working. All to frequently, I am guilty of overlooking the level of service offered by these electronic device manufacturers. We live in an age where you rarely even see the vendor of what you are purchasing much less the manufacturer. In addition to this, the most frequently used reference point is the cost. vendors and manufacturers have lost any incentive to spend money on customer service. Why pay for an empowered, knowledgeable customer service rep when the best they can do is be effective in satisfying an unhappy consumer which, in the short term, means $$ out of there pockets. I assumed that Trekstor would be different. After all, they make no pretension...Read more |
