My MobiBlu mp3 player review

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
This is my first review so bare with me ......first things first, pictures!














As you can see, it is as advertised, the smallest MP3 player in the world. One square inch cubed. I recived this as a trade for a hard drive, so not everything came with it (manuals and package). Came with headphones that are a necklace of sorts that has a connecter to the mp3 player so it is secure fit so it doesnt fall off when running or anything physical.

Total charge time to no bars, to all 3 full, was roughly 2:30 hours. Once charged fully it took around 6-7 hours to fully drain.

Build quality, i believe its alluimun build. Its very cold to the touch when its in cold weather so its some sort of metal housing. The buttons are very very firm not lose at all. The plastic ring you see around it protects it from drops and finger prints most of the time. This is just like an ipod nano with finger prints. I use a microfiber cloth for it though. You can see my fan/light on my celiing in one of the pictures thats how reflective the screen is

The lcd is an OLED, very bright very easy to ready. Has a clock, and built in FM tuner, which i have not used yet, so i wont speak about recepetion at the moment, as well as a built in voice recorder. Menu settings are kinda tricky to get through but after downloading the pdf manual it wasnt so hard.

It fits roughly 500 songs on the 1 gig flash media drive. I have i believe 360 on there, most are album wraps.

Sound: the volume goes from 1-30, i use senn hd201's, sounds great! the head phones that came with it are much louder sounding than the senn's but better quality coming from the senns, there is a 4 band eqlizer on it, but i stick to rock setting as it has nice bass hits and very clearness to the sound, very crisp.

I guess thats really about it, here are my pros and cons

Pros: very tiny, easily portable, controls are easy to use and very stiff, not losse.......sound quality is great on both senn's and stock headphones. holds enough songs for the jogger/runner type person or cutting across campus, also has a metal housing which is very durrable, lcd is bright and viberent and easy to read

cons: volume only goes to 30, there isnt a "loud" option, so it doesnt get to loud with my senn headphones as much as id like it to, fingerprints all over it, and i dont believe there is a skin for it, and retails at wal-mart for 130ish dollars......to me thats a bit much, because after taxes thats what 140 almost.........might as well put up the 60 for the ipod nano or zen micro or somthing IMO

thanks for reading, any questions let me know!

i have a 1 gig mobiblu. black. and got my mom an orange one for christmas.

i like it, only cons i can think of, it has to hang around your neck with earbuds that come with it. which suck.

sound, i found out if you turn on srs, it sounds like a whole lot better. so you might wanna try that.

Great pictures!

I just ordered the 1GB one myself last week (still not arrived though ), they're clearing out of them so I picked it up for just 40 pounds (under 70 dollars), I just couldn't resist such a cool little device despite having various other suitable mp3 players.

LOL! I have a mobiblu, I didn't think anyone else did. Wow... that's funny.
It's a 1g white. Giving me a few small issues as of late, and I'm working at finding the charger/USB cord for it. Not too bad.
