Pro's
Cheap
Fairly easy to use
Uploading music is simple
doubles as a USB drive .......
Okay I know it's a MP3 player but in the six months i've had it....
The head phones broke on the first day....fine I kinda figured they were cheap was going to replace them any way.
The backlite stuck on blue .......Dont care I'm okay with blue.
Battery life was less than 3 hours ............ Thats not the 6 that is advertised.
Started to shut down on its own with battery life left.........Huh.. that's not good. I have contacted Hip Street and tried to reset it as per their instructions.
And now it will not play at all........................ But after several attempts was told :
"The firmware on the player is corrupted.
We do not have any other suggestion for you to try.
You will need to exchange for another unit at the store."
Not sure how that happened but there is no fix for it.
So as a MP3 player it is useless but still functions as a USB drive so I guess it's not a total waste

What's great about it: alot of nice features at this price
What's not so great: its actually a perfect MP3. simple and on the go.
it looks cool, it holds enough songs, its extreamly portable because it uses batterys which last very long (just use a good battery ok), and if it dies , just buy new batteries at any store. It has an equalizer option and a bass option. its very customizable. at this price the quality far surpasses the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This MP3 player has a sturdy metal body, and cool magnetic cap for the USB end. But the buttons feel extremely cheap, as if they'll fall off at any moment.
As others stated, this is a great value, being the largest capacity I could find for the money. But again, the menu is not at ALL intuitive to navigate. It is very confusing to do what you want to do, and the lay out of the buttons and their functions make no sense. This is coming from a person who can pick up any phone, camera, MP3 player, GPS, etc. and pretty much use it right away.
So that is the MP3 players major drawback, that said; it remains a superb value.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Small. Inexpensive.
What's not so great: No FM tuner.
The product itself has 4 gb of storage space for audio files and such.
The Best Buy website mentioned an FM tuner was included with this product, but I was disappointed to find that it only stores and plays audio files.
I do like that it connects to the computer like a standard USB drive or you can use the foot-long extension to connect it to your computer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: the color changing background is great about it...
What's not so great: the earphones is not so great about it...
I recieved my player 2 weeks after it was suppose to get here then a second one the next day. I gave the second one away instead of sending it back. The addition of some comfortable earphones improved the item. There are many suprise features!

What's great about it: Easy to use and inexpensive to replace
This is a great beginner MP3 player. It is inexpensive and is simple to operate. It is also an odd size, great for not getting lost! It only plays MP3 music, so it's very simple to operate. Great for beginners that tend to loose things, or find technology complicated.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great product for the price.
What's not so great: ??? Can't think of anything other than the hard ear plugs.
Purchased 3 of the MP3 players for my 6, 7, & 10 year old grandchildren for children. The ear plugs that came with the set did not work for 2 of the girls so we purchased a softer plug. Player works great and the kids love it.
