BenQ JoyBee 102R

Watch the BenQ Joybee 102R as it swings back and forth; you are getting sleeeepy. You'd be within your rights if you mistook the Joybee for some kind of hypnotic amulet. This wearable digital audio player is as much about fashion as it is about music....

Eye-catching, fun, wearable player. Lightweight, easy to use

Audio quality is adequate, but lacking in bass. No EQ presets. USB 1.1 interface and only 128MB of storage. Proprietary cable

As much about fashion and fun as music, the BenQ Joybee 102R sacrifices music quality and flexibility for small size and attention-getting looks.

Fashionable & easy to use

Apparently not as popular as the iPod shuffle, but certainly more attractive! The headphone wire is silver and makes the unit look like a piece of jewelry rather than a clunky techie gadget. Get one today, you won't be disappointed.
