128Mb Mp3 Player for >Rs 4000. Review on Yifang Easy MP3 Player

The Yifang MP3 player has 128 Mb memory , it also has FM and can act as a USB drive. It retails at around Rs 4000. Let me start from the beginning. A few days back I decided I needed a flash mp3 Player. So I did an extensive search for one. What I found was that most branded players by creative ,samsung or philips are very costly, they cost more than Rs 8000 for 128 Mb. The other players which cost under Rs 5000 are mostly chinese, and usually have pretty bad sound quality. But I decided I wasn't ready to spend more than 5000 for a 128Mb player. I atlast settled on a mp3 Player by a little known Taiwanese company named Yifang only because its wholesale dealer had and office near me and he was ready to give it me for Rs3600. What I got for my money was an amazing player.

It has amazing Sound Quality that could seriously rival sony and creative. Of Course the bundled earphones are not the best and id recommend the sony mdr a110 headphones which retail for Rs 800. The player runs on a single AA cell. You can get a rechargeable AA cell at around Rs 100. A single cell lasts for about 8Hrs.The player has 128MB memory and comes with a cord to plug it to the USB 1.1 port on the computer. Besides MP3 it can also tune to the radio but the reception is not so good.

It allows you to record from radio to a .wav file. It also has a mic and can record voice into a wav file. The Players is square shaped(2''x2'') with rounded edges. On the front side it has an LCD screen with backlight. The LCD displays the Song name(id3 tag) the volume the battery left etc. The LCD is bigger than what you get on most players.The whole player is enclosed in some kind of metal casing which makes it look ver rugged (No Plastic anywhere, even buttons are made of metal).
