Pros and Cons of the Vibez (after one day of usage)

[dfkt]

This is what I think of the Trekstor Vibez after one day of fiddling around with it - feel free to correct me, or add to the list (positive or negative).

Pros:

• Very good audio quality
• 5-band parametric EQ
• Gapless playback, crossfade, auto gain
• Supports a large variety of audio codecs
• MSC and MTP modes, works on any operating system
• File/folder browsing and ID3 browsing
• Line-in recording in CD quality, uncompressed WAV
• User replaceable battery
• Screen is visible in direct sunlight
• Decent stock earbuds by Sennheiser
• A variety of useful accessories available

Cons:

• Scroll wheel can be awkward and imprecise to use
• Front plate is a lint magnet, back plate is a scratch magnet
• Slight hiss, even with higher impedance phones
• Low output volume, doesn't work well with higher impedance phones
• Auto gain is too aggressive, even when set to low
• No sleep timer, no pan/balance
• Only deletes files, leaves empty folders on the disk
• Tiny low-res screen, microscopic fonts on some menu points
• GUI can be sluggish at times
