Superb reproduction of the music particularly when using better quality earphones. You can easily adjust the sound to suit yourself and it is very easy to download music from a computer.

This does exactly what it says in the tin! Lasts for longer than I've ever needed. I can't fill it with songs, the 2GB goes a long way! Very small and strong case.
