MSI Mega Player 521 (1GB)

 

With a built-in pedometer and stopwatch, the MSI Mega Player 521 is clearly geared toward fitness fans. The flash-based MP3 player is available in 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB (tested) varieties, and is also very compact and light, at just 1.6 ounces....

Light and rugged. Plenty of handy extras, such as a pedometer, a stopwatch, and an FM tuner.

Expensive. Limited navigation and playback options. Interface can be confusing. Joystick is hard to operate with precision. Could be louder.

This good-looking lightweight flash player has some nice extras, but it should be louder and easier to use.

X2 Mega Player 521

 

X2's fitness-friendly MP3 player features a wealth of extras for gym rats and runners. Hit the pavement with this device and you can time your workouts, count steps with the pedometer, and even keep track of calories burned.

Includes a stopwatch, a pedometer, a calorie counter, a case, and two different-size armbands; gymworthy splashproof design; built-in FM radio and recording as well as voice recording; solid battery life; fast file transfers; fitness-friendly...

Interface isn't intuitive; joystick not always accurate; no support for DRM-protected WMAs; headphones don't provide adequate sound in all environments (they don't stay flush with the ear).

The X2 Mega Player is a decent device for those who need all the fitness-friendly extras, but with a sometimes frustrating user interface, it makes a poor choice for casual users.

MSI MEGA Player 521 - "Sporty" MP3 Player

 

Looking for a flash based MP3 player to take jogging with you? The MSI Mega Player 521 might be just the ticket.

The Mega Player 521 is a small, well featured MP3 player with good sound reproduction. The pedometer functionality is clever, but having to work out your distance manually is a real pain. Integration with some kind of music manager, or having one on...

Tale of two music mediums

 

MP3 player great!Holds about 50 songs, good sound quality. Software is very user friendly.

Radio reception poor, difficult to see and to adjust settings while walking.
