Transcend T.sonic 520 with Karaoke Feature

Transcend

Karaoke feature? I am not sure if that is something you want to brag about. Regardless, the MP3 player is your average flash based player that sells on Transcends website for $87 and $117 for a half a gig and a gig including shipping and taxes.

The 520 supports MP3, WMA, and WAV file formats. It also has voice recording, line-in recording and an OLED screen. The player also comes with a 10 pack of reusable earplugs for when you use the karaoke feature.

Transcend T.Sonic 310 - Pen Drive with an MP3 Player

Transcend

Transcends main goal with this product was make it a full featured pen drive, primary to it being an eye pleasing audio player. On the pen drive side of the features, the T.Sonic will allow you to partition and password protect your data, act as a bootable device, and perform as a key to lock up your PC.

On the digital audio player side it will play MP3 and WMA formats. The internal Li-ion battery charges via USB and will run for a claimed 18 hours. The web site also mentions that the internal battery is replaceable by a service not by the user. Another unique feature is the players touch pad controller on the front. It also has what I think to be one of the best features which should be standard on all MP3 players, headphones out = power off.

The 512MB version sells for $78 and the 1GB version sells for $119.

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. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

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.
