Despite the origin of the device, the reader is very good and beats all major brands. First the sound is powerful and a variety of "sonic colors" to suit the genre to its "ear". Then the battery charge is carried out at the back and not under the hood as many models. One downside, a slight hiss is heard in the headphones before playing but soon disappears. That's if you want a good solid and reliable player, opt for this model because I bought several and this one is perfect for me and the price is reasonable
