Meizu M6 miniPlayer SP

By: Jenn K. Lee on October 21, 2006 7:38 PM

It's only been a few months since we reviewed the Meizu M6 miniPlayer, and the company is already "pulling a Nintendo" by releasing an SP version. The M6 SP will have a new chipset by Samsung that boasts "advanced DSP functionality" (whatever that is) and a different screen. In short, nothing has really changed. Well, nothing except the price.

"SP" must stand for "specially priced" or something because the player is selling for $20-$40 less than the old model. The M6 SP will be available (in China, of course) in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB capacities for about $88, $114, and $164, respectively. Whether the price cuts stick to the player when it reaches the States remains to be seen.

SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Samsung P3

The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update.

Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
