Okay, let's talk about this little metal brick of nostalgia. First off, the sound quality? *Chef's kiss*. My FLAC files have never sounded this crisp through Bluetooth. But oh boy, that screen... trying to read it in sunlight is like squinting at a firefly in a sandstorm.
The clip is sturdy AF though. I've accidentally launched this thing across the gym floor mid-deadlift and it just... clips right back on like nothing happened. My Pitbull's chew marks add character.
Battery life is Schrödinger's MP3 - lasts either 3 hours or 8 depending on whether you're having a good day. Pro tip: volume at zero before Bluetooth pairing = instant loudness hack (why??).
Menu navigation feels like solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded at first, but once you memorize that the 'back' button is actually the 'everything' button, you're golden. Comes with bonus existential dread about whether they'll still make these in 10 years.
Final verdict: It's the grumpy old man of MP3 players - stubborn, no-nonsense, and weirdly lovable once you learn its quirks.
