Great, but one major design flaw IMO
Pros
Sound quality, 13 band EQ, sound adjustment features
Cons
Minor issues with the newest MP3 codec (understandable though) and the faceplate/contacts issue
Recommended it?
No
I have owned this unit for over two years and I am now running into a major problem with the unit in the open position. In the open position, the faceplate portion shuts off while the rest of the unit (the screen and all) remain on and functioning, but not responding.
I have not figured out the problem yet; I may need a new faceplate for it.
The major design flaw, IMO, is the way the faceplate is removed. It slides downward against the contacts. Over time, this wears away and the unit becomes very sensitive to any movement on the face. I have had it shutoff, then turn back on countless times while just trying to adjust the volume or change a track. However, this problem only developed about 6 months prior to this review (after 1.5 years).
Other than that, I have no other issues with the unit.
