: battery life, great screen, physical buttons,fast interface,lot's of sound settings
: sound quality at default settings
Hello,
I owned a J3 32GB player for 2 or three years, so I got to know all it's advantages and disadvantages.
The good
This thing has much more output power than most non-audiophile players around. I never maxed it out, and the sound remained controlled at most volume levels. The battery life is simply outstanding, about 50 hours with that magnificent OLED screen. Also, the video playback and SWF's played smoothly. There are a lot of audio-enhancements, millions of sound settings combinations to choose.
The bad
The sound at default settings (without using equalizer and the various enhancements) is pretty much dead, lifeless with undefined bass, and highs not very defined. It improves a lot after proper equalizing, but at the end you end up with non-realistic sound that you can like, but feels too plastic. It's a shame, because is a ~30$ Clip can sound good, no reason for premium product to fail in such a basic thing as play unequalized music.
Bottom line
I would consider it only if fantastic battery life is needed. For any other purpose there are other players that cost less and deliver more.
