Features:

Let us not fantasize about watching videos (and enjoying those) on this 1 inch (tiny teeny) OLED display. It is called MP3 player, so let us not have high hopes for video experience.

This is a 2 inch high and 1 inch wide mp3 player with slick black and blue outer chassis. This covering goes slippery when the sporty user is on the go; make use of the armband in such situations. The controls of HHS1A-2G are spontaneous and sensitive. On top of the gadget, there is a button which is used both for power (off and on) and menu. Front side has a big wheel for navigation purpose, which hosts play and stop, fast forward, rewind and volume control buttons. Sides of this little mp3 player have controls for reset and start or stop. On the bottom pane, there are USB and headphone jacks. The flip option lets the user adjust the screens and menus for better view while working out.

The included ear phones are nothing less than great. These in-ear headphones do not only offer great audio experience, but also reduces the outer noise. It has 3 different sized ear buds to fit into differently-made ears.
There is a free version of ArcSoft Media Converter 3 that converts media formats from one to another, though not very quickly and smoothly. Video is played smoothly and nicely but tell me frankly; who on earth would want to watch Akon singing Don’t Matter on 1 inch display?

There is a Sport feature that includes pedometer, stopwatch and a BMI calculator. Also, it is water resistant. The box includes MP3 player, an armband, in ear headphones, ArcSoft Media Converter 3, 35 free song download and USB 2.0 cable.

Product’s Unique Selling Points:

• Great in ear earphones
• Lightweight
• Water resistant

Limitations:

• Too little screen for video playback
