The large unit has all the "usual" features of an MP3 player. Operation and sound quality are good per se. Slightly irritating is sometimes the menu language. One might think that here was the google translator at work. So you have, for example, to go to the folder view, select the menu item "card catalog", the last item while you get me "resignation". However, a particularly negative fall on the controls. On the one hand the keys clacking louder than a typewriter, on the other hand the operation is stubborn and capricious. Often you have to press on very tightly, so even a keystroke will be registered and when, there is a roughly 50% chance that an incorrect key is detected. Particularly annoying is that if you just want to quickly press a title further that device but instead, the volume button recognizes then you have to wait several seconds until the volume level menu closes again, and then even to make an attempt. Who frequently skips tracks, may be going crazy here.
The small device can operate as much more pleasant. Here makes each key, which they should, but but you have to accept other disadvantages. The sound quality is poor, what it is mainly that the device continuously emits an annoying hum in the background. In music, this goes down mostly for audiobooks, however, it is annoying quickly. The battery life of the "Mini Clips" is significantly less after 2-3 hours is first rest. As expected the operation in comparison with the large unit is limited. Concretely, you can play, change the volume and present a song or skip back. The skip an entire folder is already no longer possible. Especially pity, I find that the small player plays the files on the SD card every now and then in seemingly random order. Likewise, sometimes whole order on the card are not at all easy to play without the need for a base would be recognized. Meanwhile, after almost half a year is the small player with me to play files only haltingly, so I use it not at all more.
The bottom line is the big plus of this article the price. Anyone simply looking for two players to favorable uncomplicated playing a manageable amount of files that can strike a bargain here. I myself, however, would not buy it again, especially since the price has risen from Amazon now.
