After my recent iPod experiences, I bit the bullet and on payday, bought myself one of the chinese made Meizu miniplayer’s. Otherwise known as the M6. Its a tiny, great looking device. Yes its a little iPod ish, but its as well made as my ipod is and this benefits from being 4gb, larger screen and more options, all for a fraction of the price of an iPod nano.

I havn’t had a chance to have a full test of it yet, but at first play the sound is exellent. Dare I say it better than the iPod, especially with the Sennheiser PX120 headphones i’ve been using. Straight out of the box the bass response is good, the midrange cuts through and the treble is nice and clear, as it should be, and the Sub £70 i’ve paid so far is a great investment. I havnt had a chance to try any movies/Tv shows on it yet, it supports Xvid AVI files, and there is some software which reduces the size of the files down to the resoloution of the device, allowing it to have much smaller filesizes. I’m yet to actually try this yet, but thats because my computer is rubbish and is failing to encode it properly for me and is just switching off. If you take one piece of advice from me today, do not buy an Acer laptop!!

Anyway back to the player. Well look at the pics and there is a link above for the main site. One endearing thing is that there is a large forum for owners of these players, which means a couple of things. They are good quality, and there will be lots of support if I come across any problems.
