Good things can come in small packages and this is no exception. With its dnse sound engine you can configure a 10 band EQ as well as a 3d sound function to give your music some spaciousness. It also has a 4 step bass boost function. I enjoy this player at the gym and at home. It even sounds good on my stereo too. The no cable USB connection is a nice plus. This player rocks with the more expensive ones out there you can't beat the price of this player. If you just want something to enjoy the tunes on and with quality this is one for you. Oh and the battery life is exceptional! Don't be mistaken by its' small package this is one kicking unit!
