Competitively priced mediocrity

I just wanted my expensive MP3 player not to take to the gym - the risk that he there a weight plate falls victim was just too big. So I bought the Grundig Mpixx 1450 as a convenient secondary device.
Device chewed, connected via USB to the PC and pulled my MP3s without any installation via drag and drop in Exlorer on the device that looks like a USB flash drive as a drive in Explorer. Super.
Then the first hearing test: Too soft. The volume control makes somewhere limp and warns of hearing loss - a good thing in principle, but still too low. Headphones tried to include MP3 players - the same image - so it lies on the headphones - get rid of it; the sound is anyway not so hot ...
In other headphones the volume is perfectly fine, the volume limiter intervenes at exactly the right place. But you have to know beforehand that the included headphones is just unusable.
The playback quality is mediocre good - not the sheer pleasure, but for the price reasonable and for the sport always sufficient. The manual switching on a Micro-SD card as the storage medium is not quite up to date, but acceptable. The same applies to the menu, which is in some places with "press and hold" to operate.

Although the player will display the title of the MP3-Tags, but leaves no sorting or even looking for then - here you have to be content with folder structures and file names - in theory makes the player an ideal device for audio books because here often sensible MP3 tags are missing, and in fact he is, too, but he does not sort as by title number or alphabet, but are the files in the same order again, in which they were copied to the device. You have to know - then it works quite well.

The player is incredibly light, the case does not really robust. And low weight translates into a low battery life - my player creates a maximum of 8 hours if I turn off it by pressing and holding the side key to use properly.

Conclusion:
The supplied headphones are good for nothing - there must be something in addition ago.
Super for the sport. For audiobooks great if one pays attention to the order in copying.
The player weighs next to nothing, but the battery life leaves much to be desired - a holiday not without charger.
Easy to understand, but in some places a little too cumbersome operation.
