MP3 players forum: MobiBlu DAH-1500i

The MobiBLU cube is amazing. It barely takes any space around the neck with the included necklace headphones. 3 times shorter than the ipod shuffle, and it still attracts attention (Have had people point it out at fast food joints, and I was not even aware I was wearing it). My headphones didn't last long, but they lasted longer than my usuals. I went to eBay and bought a new pair of necklace ones.

Some people complain about not being able to put it in your pocket. Change the headphone style, and problem solved. You might not want to put it in your pocket, because it has a OLED display, and you can conveniently browse your music while the cube is around your neck. Though, during really cold weather, my cube (exposed to cold around my neck) started acting weirdly. I went home and downloaded their firmware, and problem solved.

I'm not an audiophile, but the sound is great. It has a built-in microphone that records to mp3, it comes in handy, and FM radio, which I don't use.

I'm not sure about the battery life after several months of use, because it gets recharged so fast that it fills up while I download new songs to it. I've never had the battery go dead on me, except when I left it on for a whole day.

No special software to install for it to act an a USB hard drive, so I can use it anywhere or carry files around like a memory stick.

The only thing missing is IDtag display, it just displays the file name on the OLED. Hopefully some firmware upgrade will take care of this in the future.

All in all, a great buy. I've had Cowon's iAudio, iRiver's H10, and used iPods, and it's a no brainer, unless you *really* need to carry 8000 songs around you at all times.
