Consumer review by:

PURCHASE IT ONLY WITH ORIGINAL EARPHONE OF TRANSCEND.

 

GOOD DECENT PLAYER, BUT I AM WONDERING WHY TRANSCEND IS SELLING THEIR DIGITAL MUSIC PLAYER WITHOUT THE AVAILABLITY OF THE EARPHONES IN EVEN IMPORTANT COUNTRY LIKE INDIA. I SUGGEST THE TRANSCEND TO STOP SELLING THEIR MUSIC PLAYER IN INDIA, I THINK I AND...

THE PLAYER DELIVERS GOOD QUALITY AUDIO AND VIDEO, FOR THE PRICE IT HAS GOOD FEATURES. AFTER A 8 MONTHS USAGE, I FOUND THE FOLLOWING IN TRANSCEND MP 860 ; 1. AUDIO PLAYBACK IS UPTO 8 HOURS FULLY CHARGED.MP3 320KBPS, JOINT STEREO ; 2. VIDEO PLAYBAKC IS UPTO

EARPHONE IS AVAILABLE THEN PURCHASE 3 EARPHONES B.COZ AFTER A CONTINUOUS USE OF 6 MONTHS START GETTING PROBLEM IN JACK. THE EARPHONE SUPPLIED WITH THE MP 860 IN INDIA IS WORST ; IF THE EARPHONE OF TRANSCEND IS NOT AVAILABLE, JUST STOP PURCHASING GO TO

Excellent player and its low price make it a must have!

 

My last player was a Cowon iAudio7 which was a full featured player with renown audio quality, and unreal (60 hour) battery life. It had most of the features this player does and I loved it. The design wasn't as solid as it could have been so it kept...

Audio quality, eq, awesome ; Mem slot: futureproof ; FM, mic, and line record ; Solid design ; Battery life decent ; Rubber case included ; No software needed ; Connects with common usb cable ; Playback allowed while charging ; Small built in speaker...

Operating system could be better designed to be more fluid and responsive (less clicking to do things) ; A player of this size should have amazing battery life, although its good

Super recorder for FM broadcasts!

 

On the recommendation of a friend, I purchased the T-Sonic MP 860. I needed to record an important event which I attended and which would be broadcast on a local FM channel. It surpassed my expectations for ease of use! It was small enough to slip into...
