I bought the machine, because my old MP3 player after 3 years was simply too worn out. And so far I have not regretted it. The display is clear, despite its small size and the font readable. The buttons are well placed so that you do not unintentionally suppressed even in your pocket. Super I find the collar if you got then threaded finally there. So you have not pocket problems. The menu navigation is easy, and the sound and the volume is not to find fault. And the 8 GB offer enough space for a lot of music selection.
FM recording and microphone I can not comment because I do not use it and do not need. Headphones I have my own, because I usually can not do anything with the small pegs. This is therefore excluded from the assessment.
