AGPTEK 64GB MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.3, A19X 2.4" Curved Screen Portable Music Player with Speaker Lossless Sound with FM Radio, Voice Recorder, Supports up to 128GB, Black

I've only had this device since 4/4, but as a regular user of MP3 players, I was able to go through most of the features to be able to provide a reasonable review.The Good/Great: For the money, this is actually a terrific little player. I was going to initially get the AGPTEK A02, but stepped up to this model and am pleased with my choice for like 5-7 more dollars. I've used a P3000 by Bassplay for about 8 years now, which still works well by the way, but I wanted the options of an FM radio and Bluetooth for my earbuds. Another nice side option is the voice recorder, which i have not tried yet. You can also record from FM Radio, again, a nice little feature I may or may not use. Sound quality is terrific and you will definitely notice the sound difference between your FLAC and lower quality MP3 recordings. There's also a pedometer, a stopwatch, a calendar, a clock and the ability to look at photos (The last of which I won't use, but still it's a nice option if you want). I loaded my music into the device by folders, and the device sorts by artists, folders, albums, genres and saved playlists. When you use the Shuffle feature, it shuffles through ALL songs, which my P3000 could not do (it would only shuffle songs in the root directory - anything in Folders was ignored when I'd try to shuffle all songs). There's a Micro SD slot and I can "Expand up to 128GB using a TF card (not included) for a total capacity of 196GB." Product description says the battery lasts 48 hours of continuous playing, but the device is still too new for me to make an educated determination regarding battery life. At 100g, this device is slightly heavier than the P3000, but it's still a light device, compared to some of the chunkier devices out there. Weight's not an issue for me, either way, as I use this device in my car, directly into my AUX. The build is solid and the glass front with touch buttons is nicer than I expected.The Not So Great: The included instructions are pretty basic and don't include everything. The menu is right there on the home screen, but it takes some getting used to and does not include all features and functions. You actually have to be "in" the music to see "Random, Repeat, etc" functions. This is the same with the equalizer settings. The first thing I did after loading up all my music was to connect my BT earbud and I had to crank up the volume all the way to hear the music at a normal level (not sure if this is due to my year-old earbuds or the device itself). I have not tried the included wired earbuds yet, but I do know they are required as the antenna for the FM radio. Supposedly you can save FM presets, but again, the instructions are bare minimum, and I can't figure out how to save the presets yet. Otherwise, it scans for all stations every time you try to use the radio.Summation: I love this device and I love that I spent under $40 for it. I'm getting a whole ton of bang for my buck. Only thing I wish they had included would be a little neoprene (or similar) sleeve to hold it in.

i haven't owned an ipod or anything like that before but this is about what id expect. it has more than enough storage and the UI is easy enough to learn. the only thing i don't like is that the Bluetooth cuts out every 10 minutes or so. it might just be mine specifically but it's something to consider. overall, i really like it.

Good

You're probably looking at this because you like having control over your music library, and are willing to tolerate some quirks from an inexpensive device that gives you that control. You may even have some experience with other AGPTEK devices and think you can live with their poor UI choices - but in this case you're very wrong.AGPTEK has really hit a low here in utilizing this color screen, making it even more useless in any sort of light than their other products. The main screen has a bunch of identical monochrome icons, with the selected icon the same color as all the others, just about 2 pixels larger. Trying to navigate functions is like playing a puzzle game trying to see the slight difference in the selected item.When scrolling through lists of songs, the highlighted menu item is dark red text against a gray background, completely unreadable in anything but indoor low light viewing. You end up having to scroll away from the item you're interested in so that it's unselected, so that it can be read in normal white on black text.Don't think I'm just here to bash AGPTEK - I'm returning to using my trusty old AGPTEK A02. Not a great screen by any means, and kind of odd UI, but at least they have the sense to use black on white or white on black text so it can be navigated.Update:I had to pull this out again because my old AGPTEK A02 finally died. Within minutes I have to give up out of frustration. Do yourself a favor a search for a video review of this unit in action. If you can't read the selected item in the video, you won't be able to read it in real life either other than in perfect lighting. I'm kicking myself for not having returned this useless paperweight.

Easy to use, great battery life, built in speaker is decent. Only downfall my daughter has pointed out is she uses a different pair of headphones.
