I've had this player since it came out. I personally love it. Form factor is perfect and the UI is very thorough and easy to operate. Didn't think I would like the scroll wheel thing, but it has grown on me. Every function works very well. I think it sounds really great for the price and is great for walking and the gym. Lack of power is not an issue with lower impedance iems, buds, or headphones. I use them with the new IBasso IT03 items and it sounds very good.
does it sound as good as a player twice it's price? No, but by little.
