Ministry of Sound MOSMP085 MP3 Player

built-in speakers

Persistence from Ministry of Sound will be seen shortly as their latest endorsed player from ALBA electronics, labelled the MOSMP085, will commence sale later this month. In the past not a great deal of commendation has been handed to Ministry of Sound players. The MOSMP085 is not going to blow away all past reputation, but at least the typical features of a digital audio player appear to be accounted for this time.

If the 2-inch TFT display is enough to distract you from the rather bland design, a voice recorder and internal speaker are also included. Format support is certainly nothing to rave about (audio scrapes in with MP3, WMA DRM, and WAV), however six preset equalizer settings and a lyric display function will contribute to the decorative aspect.

As you may expect, there are 5 preloaded Ministry of Sound tracks, plus two free music downloads. Rest assured, this model does have inbuilt memory: 1GB for $90 and 2GB for $100.

Should give the Zen V Plus a run for its money because of the extra .5" of screen space and speaker but idk there's something about this that doesnt pull me in..

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.
