Ipod Nano Killer |
I received this as a Christmas gift last year and I absolutely love it! Excellent sound, extremely configurable (much more so than an iPod nano with better sound to boot) and is in the same price range as the nano.
One important aspect is that it plays many different audio formats right out of the box. Unlike the iPod, you don't need after-market and warranty violating firmware to make it a versatile player. You are not limited to mp3 or any proprietary formats. It plays Ogg and FLAC files quite nicely.
The equalizer works well and is very customizable. I like that it is a ten band configurable equalizer, as opposed to the three band from Apple with presets only.
Battery life is a non-issue, as it charges while I am transferring songs to it. I have not had the battery die on me once.
At first the controls seem hard to use, but it has a fairly quick learning curve. After a couple of days, I had them down pat.
This unit is also much smaller than I expected it to be from the photos. It is about the same size as a credit card, but thicker. The screen is large for the size of the player, however and the lettering on the screen is not a strain to read.
My only real issue with this player is the video conversion required to play videos. I was not able to get the hang of it and eventually gave up, and I consider myself technologically savvy.
Most movies will not survive the transcoding to get them to play on it. Plus, the sound tracks end up out of sync with the video. It you are into playing a lot of video, this is not the player for you.
This player is all about the sound. There it excels.
It is kind of a warm sounding player and with so many options for headphones, the equalizer makes it very doable to make the music sound as good as your headphones can deliver (providing you use low impedance headphones).
I listen to a wide variety of music, from female vocals, to classical to heavy metal and dance music as well. It sounds equally well to me in every genre I've listened to on it. If you like your music on the warm side, this player is a real treat for the price point. Getting a better sounding player would probably cost you about as much as a used car.
If you don't mind in-ear headphones, I highly recommend the V-MODA Vibe Earbuds - Flashback Chrome headphones to go with this. They sound quite well together and are visually appealing.
If you plan to wear these from a lanyard around your neck, I recommend the Cyberguys Sport Lanyard as it is the most comfortable I've found for keeping this hanging off my neck all day. I went through a few lanyards before I finally found this very comfy one.
It is pretty universally agreed that Meizu has horrible customer service, however, there are user forums out there that have informed enthusiasts willing to provide assistance. If you encounter a problem, I recommend that you search out one of these forums. Chances are good that any problem you will have has already been addressed there.
Additionally, from these forums, I found many different ways I could customize my player in appearance, as the GUI is very open to user customization. I was even able to download presets for radio stations. Not just for my state but for four states around me, adding to the functionality of this player, and making it fun to listen to on trips.
Even though it holds 80 albums of music (mp3, V0 bit rate), you may decide you want to listen to something different on a long road trip, and the fact that the FM tuner on it actually pulls in stations well is a nice touch.
The forum I've found the most useful information from is [...]
I also recommend the silicone case for this player readily found online. I believe it saved my player when it was recently slammed in a car door in my coat pocket. I thought it would be ruined, but aside from a slightly bent case (which I was able to push back into reasonable shape) it is just fine. It suffered no functional damage, so it's pretty durable too.
In conclusion, I would recommend this player to anyone looking for a player in this price range who takes their music seriously. If you want to watch videos on it too, then this is probably not the choice for you. |

my Meizu feedback |
I bought this product 3 months ago and I'm very satisfied with it. I had a mini Ipod before but I returned it back because you cant put music into it without installing Itunes (hate that).
The Meizu is a fantastic product, you simply drag your files like any other mass storage usb. The size is so good too 3X1.5X0.25in.
Sound quality is very good.
Screen is high standard and very clear.
The touch pad, where you browse your files and control the volume,is little lousy, its kinda too sensitive.
browsing your files might be little long taking process, you gonna have to go through two or three steps before you see your music folders. I though that should be the first thing to see when you want your music files.
I'm using sony headphones. wasnt satisfied with the headphones in box.
It takes little long to turn it on. You need to hold the play button twice for 2 or 3 seconds. |

Not bad... |
The Meizu MiniPlayer SL is a great little music player for the price. It has a fully featured UI that is very user friendly. Plays FLAC and OGG!!! You don't find many players that can handle those less-used formats of digital audio.
However, the firmware is buggy in a few little spots. On particular songs, the encoding gives the audio a choppy, stuttering quality. Very disorienting. Also, when you create a playlist, the player will load all of the ID3 tag data at once when you play the first song. This causes the player to stop functioning (won't respond to your button presses, but it continues to play whatever song you were playing before). This is quite annoying, considering the only way to make it stop is to hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn it off and make it stop, or to make very small playlists. Or you could just avoid playlists altogether.
A version of Rockbox is in development for the MiniPlayer, so users need not worry that they will have to deal with the crappy firmware forever.
Anyway, the MiniPlayer SL is overall a good player for the price, there are just a few bugs to work out. |

Touch Pad Controls Way Too Sensitive |
|
I have had my Meizu 8 gig for about 6 months. I will say that the sound is good. The design looks real cool, but it is not functional. The controls drive me crazy! I'm not a klutz and am fairly technically oriented but your fingers need the fine motor control of a professional sculpture to control this thing. If you are a runner, forget about doing anything but listening to it. Changing the volume or changing a song is a true adventure. You end up in all kinds of menus that you don't want to be in. Even trying to change settings while standing still with the player on a table is difficult. Customer support is non existent other than reading posts on the Meizu site where you can read the unanswered woes of other Meizu users. Lord help you if your Meizu needs an update, their website has scores of people with frozen players. I am going back to Sandisk. |

Meizu Kablooey |
Just to warn the masses: I bought one of these last October as a 16th birthday gift for my one and only handsome and electronically gadget savvy nephew. I searched long and hard on the Web in order to find an MP3 player that would beat Apple at its own game but not cost me the extra arm and a leg for the iPod caché. I found the Meizu on Marketadvisory, read the glowing reviews and bought the thing. Nephew loved the player, said that it was easy to use, sounded great, made him the envy of all his friends, and I immediately became his favorite uncle for life. (All right, so I'm inferring a bit on the last part here...)
Cut to six months later: he informs me that the Meizu died - completely, utterly, totally gone-baby-gone D-I-E-D died. As of this posting, efforts to reach Dane-Elec about service or a replacement have met with an eerie silence. So, if you all want to have a great player for about half a year, this is the one for you. Otherwise, keep looking. |
