Keep in mind they are probably in China creating this, so I don't think it would ever be perfect. But that's why the prices are so great!

I am willing to wait a bit, sometimes when this sort of operation grows a bit they set up an office in the US and ship in bulk to it and use US mail to deliver.

OTOH shipping as they do now likely slips under the radar of customs who might not allow patent infringement etc.

Cardio, do you happen to remember how long it took to receive your shipments from them? Just curious. Thanks

Just over a week for the last I bought from that area, 9 days to two weeks is kinda typical, with smaller packages doing the best.

Wow, it was waiting for me in the mail when I got home! It seems to work ok so far. The earbuds are crap, but I wasn't expecting high quality from them. Sound quality is good. Comes with driver CD (but u wont need it for XP), USB cable, charging plug, earbuds, and a poorly translated manual. All of the functions work just fine. In my opinion its great for the price! I'll get some photos and more info when I get time to play with it some more.

I bought a HS-850 Moto Blue Tooth Headset. For $19.95 plus $9.95 shipping I got exactly what I ordered. Brand new and works like a charm. $29 for a headset that costs $40 or more discounted and $90 retail.

These guys fall into the same category as the LED Shoppe but have a higher class of merchandise.

I'll buy from them again.

When I was in China last month, I saw a lot of these MP4 players. What do you use to create an MP4 file?

And BrokenArrow, did you really get a product shipped from China to Kansas in THREE days?!?!

Also, how does the OLED display look?

It was shipped from a US address, not china. Yes it came in 3 days. I will look at the mailer when I get home from work today and let u know where it was shipped from. The OLED display looks good. It actually seems to work better with lower res pictures. I tried to put a cpl on there at 1600x1200 and they didn't come out great. The radio works well, even inside the building i work in. I dont know about mp4 files. It plays mp3s and WMAs though. I haven't played with the video. It came with a trailer for one of the tomb raider movies, which I deleted. LOL

HERE are some photos I took of the mp4 player that I bought. Overall its not a bad little player. The biggest drawback is the battery life. A full charge only lasts roughly 3-4 hours. I don't know how video looks on the screen, but I wouldn't expect much for the price. Not a bad, cheap christmas stocking stuffer type of gift, especially for someone that doesn't listen to music for extended periods of time.

Anyone knows what's going on with this? I ordered one of that MP4 players a couple of week ago, but haven't heard back. Their website seems to be down as well.

These are just scammers from China. The same ones that now hound everyone in eBay with messages offering their junk. Check that your credit card number was not stolen.

Sorry to hear that. I just now saw this thread and started to get excited until I saw your post.
