MPMAN MPK512 Review

Overall Rating

Urm... It looks OK.
That's it.

Where can I start?
It's clunky, unreliable, boring, terrible sound quality (muffly, strange sounds in the background, worse than cassette quality) rubbish voice recording, no software, tiny screen, controls kept ceasing, kept changing into Chinese for no reason, manual was hard to understand, no online support, small memory (512mb) worse than iPod battery life (now that's saying something!), slow for a flash player, loses battery life when turned off if you leave the battery in and if you don't it takes ages to turn on again (it's supposed to do this as well!!!). I would say this is the worst player of its kind.

Urgh! This player is awful in every way. I bought this as my first mp3 player and to say I was dissapointed would be a total understatement. As I stated above - everything that could be wrong with the player was wrong with the player so whatever you do don't buy it! It is certainly not worth the seemingly generous £60 price tag. So I took it back and took a great risk and bought the mpman hd2 which is a wonderful, great value player. So don't get me wrong, mpman is a good mistake if you just ignore the mpk512.
