Coby MP705

 

The Coby MP705 portable media player is no masterpiece, but it exceeds expectations at only $50.

Inexpensive. Impressive overall feature set for the price. Earbuds stay firmly in place.

Poor screen resolution. Nonintuitive user interface. Feels cheaply made.

Great little player

 

This player has been going strong for me after years of constant use. It has excellent battery life and simple controls.

The headphones that came with it were not very comfortable, but just plug in your favorite pair of headphones and you are good to go.

My daughter loves it....

 

I bought this to replace her Nano that she accidently dropped and someone crushed with their foot. I thought this would probably be an upgrade and I was right! She loves it and she says is easier to use! She is 14 and to please her is hard so thank you!!

Good MP3 player / Bad Software

 

Clunky software is not the vendors fault, and this review should not reflect on them negatively. No soulsucking use agreements, fairly user-friendly once you know how to slam it against the counter properly, all-in-all, slam dunk for the money.

Mp3 is sleek looking, half-decent brand, good storage. Clunky software mentioned in cons section is very easily bypassed (Just drag and drop albums directly to the mp3 player's directory, like a you would a thumbdrive.)

Software application that comes with (the install is on the player itself) is ridiculously counter-intutive and, moreover, clunky. Clunky is the only word I can conceive for it. You can either send it sweeping for audio files on your system where it...

100% Junk, not worth anything

 

Don't even think of buying this.

It worked for awhile Simple controls

Wow, newegg should NOT be selling this sort of merchandise. I knew right when I got the package open that I'd made a mistake buying this player. It was well below even my lowest expectations. If you do buy one, be ready for a few things: 1)...

Don't do it!

 

I bought one, and in under 24 hours the screen broke. It also felt too light and cheaply made. The battery is only thirty min to an hour at best. All and all, DONT BUY IT!

Great Product at Not so Bad Cost

 

Purchased as a gift and the recipient says it is the best! Really liked the touch feature and it works perfectly.

Coby MP601

 

You can ask more for the price of this thing, its easily the best little mp3 player I've ever had. I sweet allot when working out, and this thing has yet to die on me. The only thing that drives me nuts about this thing is that if you can use the radio...

Small, easy to use device. Has a good amount of storage, and rechargeable battery.

FM radio is more of a feature than a functioning option.
