Logik Orbit 1GB

Its design looks awsome! I bought a pink Logik Orbit 1GB just because the shape looks so cool(the pink one was the only one there) if it was a differnet pink mp3 player i would of left it.

i've owned about six logik orbit 1gb and for some reason - i just love the look of it and the sound system is off the chain and the interface is neat enough. however, they all broke one by one, and it's a shame. i just ordered another one the n00b that i am, hopefully i'll have better luck but i doubt it. it's a darn shame because it's such a nice mp3 it really is, but they jsut break so easily it's a shame. i remember once i ordered 2 in a buy one get one free deal, and one of them the screen had bled by the time it got here, the other was working when i put it on my bean bag 3 days later, and died on me hilariously by that screen also bleeding in the time before i came back to it, and it wouldn't switch on. how can something break, lying stationary on a comfort device? amazing. but anyway, don't buy it even though it's good cause you'll just need a new one in another week to a month.

Again, I am surprised at the some of the poor reviews. Perhaps I have been lucky, but I love my Logik Orbit. I wanted a cheap Mp3 player for the gym and this fits the bill perfectly. It has served its purpose and done me proud for years and it has gone through some proper abuse (dropped, stood on, weights have hit it, been covered in sweat and subjected to high temperatures). The sound is great (however years of clubbing and gigs may have destroyed my hearing), the base is peachy, however the usability/function did take getting used to, but that's because I was lazy and couldn't be bothered to read the instructions and was set in my ways with my other Mp3 player.It is like the Terminator, it just won't die.

Not worth the money in my opinion. Its a nice design and good price but i still wouldnt recommend, When you turn off then on you have to search for the last song again.

Well i didn't have problems like other reviewers.

I love this Logik Orbit 1GB mp3 player. It didn't fell apart. I have it for 1.5 years now and it's working all right. Battery still lasts even up to 12 hours, so i don't understand the rubbish that people above are saying, probably just didn't know how to use it properly :D

Tips for Vista owners:

when formatted thru FAT32 on Windows Vista, mp3 won't display the files when turned on (after disconnecting with pc) will act as memory stick instead

you HAVE TO TURN DEFAULT DEVICE SETTINGS WHEN FORMATTING and then it's working perfectly

Text display got scrambled. Cheap rubbish. Spend a bit extra and buy a known brand rather than the Logik Orbit 1GB.

On the first day I owned this MP3 player, it fell apart.

I unclipped the neck strap from the MP3 player and it wouldn't go back in. My friend who got the same model did the exact same thing and his fell apart as well.

I got a replacement, which was a bad move.

I know these internal Lithium batteries have to be used correctly, so I was charging full but not overcharging them, using the MP3 player until all of the charge was used etc. Being extra careful, most appliances I own last for several years.

The 8 hour battery lasted for 5 hours when I first used the MP3 player. Within 2 weeks, this was down to 1 hour.

I have just returned it to the shop as the battery lasts approx 10 minutes, after 6 weeks of owning this MP3 player.

The song names were all coming up wrong, the letter u was replaced with y, l with k etc.

I couldn't insert the headphones all the way into the audio jack, otherwise I had to swivel it around for ages to get any sound.

Pulling it out slightly worked but now and again I would only get audio in one earphone.

The MP3 player is cheap, feels cheap and should be avoided.
