Transcend MP870 8 GB MP3 Player

First of all, my appreciation to the ever prompt flipkart services. kudos to them i got it in 3 days. I got it in a neat package. Looks pretty good. this is my 2nd player from transcend. It has pretty good features for such a price. I quickly pushed some tracks into it to check it, let me tell you the ear phones are awful. Instead i used my Philips ear buds (got them for Rs.850) which worked superbly. The best thing about this player is its User Edit EQ and the SRS WOW HD is simply awesome.

Line in recording and the voice recording are good too. I really don't care about other features like pic,vid or ebook. Who watches them on this tiny screen at a low resolution.

Finally.....my verdict 4/5
Design....4/5
Audio Playback...4/5
Recording.......3.5/5
Features.....4/5
Price..5/5

I did not buy this product from Flipkart. Bought it locally from a store when it first came out.

I've had this model for three years now. Still works great. The earplugs have worn out a bit with time and yet they function very well. The battery lasts for at least two days with 7 to 8 hours of use each day. Does not get hot. Does not have software issues. Decent sound and picture quality. I have dropped it dozens of time. Once, it even dragged on the road for a bit because it fell out of my bag while i was riding my bike and the ear plugs stuck on the zipper. Despite the abuse, it had no cracks or problems. Never given me any problems, in fact.

If you want something simple to store your pics and for music and movies on the go, i highly recommend this one. It's cheaper than most of the other branded crap out there, very sturdy, and has a lot more memory than is usually offered at this price. The ear phone jack is universal so you can use your better quality ear phones if you don't like what comes with it. My only gripe is that the cord of the ear phones is too short. Otherwise, i give it two thumbs up.

Very satisfies with the service offered.The product was delivered within 24hrs..it was surprising.

Overall the player is good..but i found the sound to be bit low if somehow really likes high pitch.Also the responce is bit slow if the memory is close to full...

I had first ordered for a Zebronics Mupic player which was horrible, Flipkart has an amazing return policy, All I did was call them and they showed up at my door in two days and picked it up and credited the amount back to my wallet.

I then researched the website & ordered for this one.

I got it earlier today. Very compact, Strong looking, Comes with a silicon cover, screen-guard, neck-strap, Line-in cable, USB cable and earphones,.. The earphones suck but the player is good. has a built in speaker as well. Sound quality is very good, Video quality is also very good, I have a samsung android phone and the quality of video is almost similar, just that the size of the screen is smaller.

Recording is very good, In-Line recording helps you rip off music from FM and also Internet radio on Shoutcast if you connect it to your phone,.

Battery life is good, Have been using it for the past 6 hours and its still at full charge.

The only reason why I'd give it 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because it takes time to play a song once you select one from a folder. When you go to the next/previous song, It happens instantly like an apple ipod but when you select a song for the first time in a folder(each time u choose to play a song from a folder), It takes nearly 10-15 seconds for the song to start playing.

All in all, I'm happy with the product and highly recommend it.

Firstly, I would like to thank Flipkart for providing some excellent delivery. I got this flat in 24 hrs time which is outstanding when we consider online ordering of products. Secondly, the flipkart website keeps improving with new features, which is again keeping it ahead of its competition.

The MP870 is a good mp3/mp4 player option. It holds in the hand as much as a normal mobile phone. It comes with a rubber protection for the exterior body. The display size is very good for something of this price from transcend. The videos are a bit slow to load, but do get played. The audio is good and so is the voice recorder facility. I particularly chose this model for the voice recorder option. The link in option is also cool and the audio output without the ear plugs is decent. All in all, a good mp3 player for this price with packed features.

Pros
1. The number of features provided in this device is excellent. Audio, Video, Photos, Slideshow, wallpaper, Voice Recording, FM Recording, Inline recording and much more.
2. The audio quality is pretty good but may be the ear plugs can be changed for better clarity.
3. Handy device tha does not slip through your hand. It comes with a neck tag
also, incase you want to have it tagged to your neck.
4. Price. I researched the net and found mp3 players with voice recorder options available from Sony and Phillips for nothing less than Rs 6.5k. So, this is a very good deal compared to all those, if you are looking for this budget one.
5. He has the delete option for files as well which is very good.
6. 8GB storage capacity is simply superb for this price.

Cons
1. The buttons are a bit rigid. May be they will get better once I use them more. It only arrived today.
2. User Interface can be improved a bit.
3. Video playing sometimes is slow. I tried playing mp4's not the regular avi's.
