iVO-Sound m640 4GB USB 2.0 MP4/MP3/ Voice w/1.8" LCD (Silver)

• 4GB USB 2.0 MP3 Voice w/ 1.8" LCD

This review is for iVO-Sound m640 2GB USB 2.0 MP4/MP3/ Voice w/1.8" LCD (Silver) which is similar to the 4GB in all other aspects other than the capacity.

The product is packaged in Blister pack that gives you an idea what to expect, But for the $20 I spent for 2GB capacity I think it was well worth it.

PROS:

[+] Cheap price cannot beat that.

[+] Decent Battery life when used with Audio Files.

[+] Integrated FM radio allows direct recording radio programs to wave format

[+] Digital voice recording

[+] USB charging is possible no need for special charger

[+] Tempo control for music which can be useful at times

CONS:

[-] Included headphones are worthless junk

[-] LCD brightness cannot be changed even though it has menu for it.

[-] FM Radio's volume does not minimize even when set to 00

[-] When you use the preset Equalizer modes it distorts sound, I suggest to use "Neutral" for decent sound.

As the price is well below $20 in most retail sources for 2GB version it is well worth the money. A nice toy for small kids better than buying expensive Ipod Nano.

NOTE:

-----

(***) Volume is too loud and does not have volume limiter, Please adjust the volume before you give it to small kids to play with.
