MP3 player and electronic audio readers

Hello dear co-forums. I asked a question and even decided to open a topic about this. Please advise on the purchase of an MP3 player. Our son was Samsung. But in the summer he lost his, and now he is asking him to buy it. I rushed to stores and online stores and was taken aback. There are no Samsung on sale, except for a small tablet, but it is not very convenient, there is no screen at all. There are a couple of Philips models and that's it ... science beasts me stamps. I got lost in them.
It is necessary with a small screen, it is possible with a large one, but it is not at all necessary or even desirable. Resistant to damage (will carry everywhere with you), 4-8 GB, so that playback starts from where it stopped. Well, in time, in order to hold at least 10 hours, it will still be less than stated. The sound is desirable better, since he does not listen to books, but to music.
The main thing for me is to figure out which company to look at. Which of these spawning companies makes players more or less quality? I don't like Sony's firm and I really don't like their models with a wheel. It seems very inconvenient. The issue price is not more than 1500 rubles. Best of all within 1000 rubles.
If you can, tell me the company, and then I'll figure it out myself. I've been listening to books for 3 years. I understand the advantages and disadvantages.

Chamomile !!! I have been using the Iriver MP3 player for several years. good, charging lasts about 35 hours in an active form, I had 8 GB, yesterday I changed it to a nano iPod. I changed it only because the headphone input got loose (I fall asleep listening to audiobooks), and they began to poorly conduct sound.

Chamomile and you listened to Elena Arsenyev, "The Tsar's Bride" is very interesting - history, mysticism, love ...

Chamomile, I would be happy to help, but I do not understand anything about them
Maybe now someone will see this Temko in the top and suggest something sensible.
Good luck searching!

I listened to Arsenyev, or rather read more. I had not yet discovered audiobooks for myself. I'll try. I now prefer female fantasy. I will be happy to hear the recommendations.

The historical book is the reign of Peter 1's grandson, Peter 2, about A. D. Menshikov's daughter and his exile in the city of Berezov, about the love of Menshikov's daughter Maria and Fedor Dolgorukov ...

Well, good advice, like castor oil, is easy to prescribe - difficult to swallow ...
I've been listening to books for a long time, so choosing a player is not an easy thing for me.
There were all sorts of things, but I don't like it They don't like it because they need to be charged frequently.
I found a way out for myself - this is the explay player. Why exactly he, because this is the only model with a battery. There were some American ones, but now they are nowhere to be found.
Since I transferred all my devices to batteries for a long time, there are no problems. Always a spare with you.
Like it or not, it's my choice. Once I used small multi-videos, took my grandchildren to trainings, watched films in transport, on the road.

But in nature, I did not see him.
I have such

Search navigation is convenient, you can see in the window which files are being listened to.
Well, maybe not cool, but here's the information.

Cookie, and here the question is not raised cool or not cool, here, so to speak, word of mouth.

Cookie, and here the question is not raised cool or not cool, here, so to speak, word of mouth.

By cool, I meant there is no nice color display.
I gave it to my grandson, I said I needed to watch the clips, gave it for 18 years. Soon the display broke, it just uses it as a player, listens to music. (There is no time to repair everything, but probably not really and it is necessary)
I bought a phone myself, albeit small, but a smartphone. I was exhausted, listened to books, and the charge was enough for half a day.

Wow, I also don't need a big screen, I don't play games, it's not interesting to watch movies on such a screen, I only need the name of the books and the current file, bookmarks are still convenient, otherwise, how will you fall asleep by a fairy tale, and if you also have a file in 59 min so you listen to the same thing several times

[Chamomile1]

Chamomile1 The son had an iRiver, now one of the leading manufacturers, Cowon J3, 🔗 the difference is colossal. I use a Sony smartphone myself. How to choose a player 🔗

Thank you all for your help! Based on your advice, I bought an Explay C60 4Gb. I liked the sound. True, they did not give him a lot of testing. Now I'll play enough and try to compare it with my Samsung. After listening to the test poem, it seemed that the sound was better on Explay. But it is possible that I am now listening to a book recorded in the worst quality. It will be necessary to write down the same files and compare. Although it may not be very necessary to compare, because mine is no longer on sale.

Chamomile, congratulations on your new friend, may he please you with good sound and functionality!
Now I'm listening to Dan Brown's Inferno, his latest book

[Chamomile1]

Chamomile1 - Congratulations!

And we decided to save some money, and instead of a player, I got my old sons Nokia 5520 phone - it was tuned to the music, and the operating system inside is comfortable, easy to operate, my son also taught a bunch of useful things, everything should be super convenient.
True, I don't know yet what kind of sound this phone will give, because excellent Sinhaizers were presented to me only today, and before that my son listened on weak headphones.

qdesnitsa Thank you. But you shouldn't congratulate me, but your son. I bought a player for him. I didn't really like the touch buttons in it. I listen at night before going to bed, I press the buttons by touch, and then I have to open my eyes. So while with my Samsunog and quite happy with them. Now I'm listening to the cycle of Nadezhda Kuzmina's fantasy - another fairy tale.
julifera we don't have such a phone. The Samsung sons have completely sat down. He does not take it out of the socket and uses it like a tablet. Listen to music, sit in contact. And for conversations they bought him a very cheap phone.

julifera we don't have such a phone.

It is old, this model 5520, sharpened to music, has not been released for a long time, as good as the model is closed. We bought about 5 years ago, already worn enough, wore it without a cover, in all pockets, but what makes it super super - all the music control buttons are taken out! And everyone continues to work properly!
Just tested - reproduces perfectly
In the player of the phone, it is possible to customize the sound in the aqualizer for yourself or put the desired preset.
Our phone cost 150 bucks, and then the price went up to $ 200, who would have thought that he would have such a second life

The Samsung sons have completely sat down. He does not take it out of the socket and uses it like a tablet. Listen to music, sit in contact. And for conversations they bought him a very cheap phone.

Mine bought myself for one of my first part-time jobs a cool big Lenovo touchscreen with a megabattery - consider the mini-computer always with you - I set everything up for myself - and on the internet and talk and music and read and write off on exams

I also bought this Samsung myself. Almost myself. At that time, my phone broke down and I was planning to buy myself something for 2-2.5 tons. And he persuaded me to give him this money and pick up his phone. The rest was reported by himself from his own - earned.

Olya, I'm in this Temko now.So which player should you buy? It is only necessary for listening to books, but it was easy enough to handle it.

[spring]

spring, I don’t know. I don’t know myself. We didn't like Explay. My son broke down quickly. I bought the same company for my sister, so she says that it is difficult to deal with the controls, with the buttons. I figured it out, of course, but somehow everything is not thought out, not convenient. I myself am still living with my Samsung. I like him, but the old man already. The headphone jack has started to fail a lot. And I don't even know what to advise. There are no more Samsung, they are not released.
The only thing that you need to pay attention to when buying is to have a display that can be quite small. To make it not big and light, carry it around your neck, for example. And so that when it stops, it does not roll the file back to the beginning. Books are read in different ways, there is one file for 40-1 hour minutes. And you will stop, and then you will tediously look for where you listened the last time. Moreover, it is this characteristic, about a rollback to the beginning, which is usually not spelled out in the documents anywhere, only by experience or knowingly expensive brands to buy. Everything will be fine there. In terms of capacity, 4 gig is enough for me. If you are often outside the computer for a long time and cannot upload, then you need more memory. I ran into this inconvenience when I was in the hospital. They took the player from me and downloaded the following books and brought them, but there was a break of 2 days. And my sister on vacation, too, listened to everything, and then she had to buy books to read. 4-5 books fit on 4 gigs, on average. So then think for yourself how best. I want to look at Ali, my hands have not yet reached the player.

Olya, thank you very much, at least I will know what to focus on. What kind of headphones you need to pick up and all brands are useless? Can consider 4-5 thousand, but what brands, can someone else tell you from their own experience ...

[spring]

spring, I take the most expensive ones, even in Fix Price. Only I do not like with inserts. I use those that just fit into my ears, without silicone earbuds. But this is a matter of taste. Many of my friends like it with inserts. Recently, I have been trying to take Philips firms. I like some of them, they are not round in shape, but with small protrusions, they hold better in the ears. And I use overhead at home, which do not fit snugly to my ears. I don't like it when it presses on my ears. But this is all individual. Need to try. I treat headphones as a consumable, if they break down, I buy new ones. Usually, some are in stock, just in case. I try to order them in online stores, it takes longer, but cheaper.

Thanks for the advice, almost savvy, I'll come home in a month and go shopping. I have long wanted a player, so I finally decided. After the purchase, I will unsubscribe.

So so. I'm telling you. I bought myself a portable acoustics https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=75623.980 In principle, I was very pleased.

The only thing that I didn't like a little was that it was rather large: narrow, but long. And there was not enough charge for the day and part of the night, if you listen to it all day. Everything else is great! The sound is good, playback starts from the same place where it stopped, the menu is clear. But, I gave it to my mom for the new year. Mom really liked listening with me. We cooked and laid the New Year's table with detective Sandra Brown. And for the night I gave this acoustics to my mother with me, I know that she has insomnia, and then something to do, to listen to a book. In short, I taught my mother, got hooked on audiobooks.
She herself suffered a couple of days with the player and began to choose for herself. At that time in Yulmart they went up in price and I decided to take a chance and look for something else cheaper and smaller. I shoveled a bunch of information, bought a bad one, she didn't have a menu. And then I found what I needed, by the way, also Supra.

It is not big, very light, it works much longer in time, not one day, but 2-3, depending on how you listen in time. When the battery runs out, it starts to squeak piercingly, if I listen to it at that moment. And from the beginning of the squeak, it lasts about 15-20 minutes.listening, only the squeak is annoying. But, it has a slight drawback, compared to the first, it has worse sound. Not much, but worse. The sound is less deep, flatter. In the beginning, I heard it, especially right after the first Supra and after the MP3 player, now I listened and I don't notice. In principle, the sound is good, loud, without extraneous noise. Since I mostly listen to books, it doesn't bother me at all and I'm very happy. I like it more for its compactness. I hung it on a phone cord and carry it around the apartment, in the bathroom I hang it on a hook for towels. It is more convenient for me. The silver one, which I bought myself, has buttons that light up a little in the dark. I read in the reviews that the blue does not have such a backlight.
Phew, I've finished benchmarking. If anything, ask.

[Chamomile1]

Chamomile1, Olga, good morning!!!
Can i ask you? Since you have already used both devices, then if you do not look at the price, which one is better ??? The one that you gave to mom (orange) or the one that you bought for yourself now (blue)
Huge for the answer !!!

[Umka19]

Umka19Personally, I'm more comfortable with a blue one, only I have a gray-silver one. It is more convenient because it is smaller and lighter, it can be stuck anywhere when I carry it around the apartment. I hung a string on it and I can hang it anywhere. I even took it with me in my bag and listened to it with headphones in a public place. And it keeps the battery longer. A couple of days for sure, without recharging. But the sound is better in orange. Apparently because there are two columns. But not a bad sound in gray, just in comparison, orange sounds better. Orange is heavier, a little more massive, well, as much as possible in such a compact design. So it's up to you to choose.

[Olga]

Olga, thank you very much for your reply!!!
It's just very nice to know the unbiased experience of our Forum!

[Umka19]

Umka19, if you cannot decide, then you can proceed from the presence of a flashcard. In orange it is large, and in a gray mini.

Peace be with you bakers!
I use such a player for me - to listen to music and watch a movie \ without conversion \

🔗

True, I changed my regular ears \ more than the player cost \ although they were not bad at all

I have had an orange supra for several years now. I listen all the time, but more from a flash drive, radio is rare. Good sound. Now I write she plays. Love her. A friend, looking at me, bought the same, also happy.

Iris, I write, access to the requested resource is limited. It is necessary to study anonymizers. Lazily
Olga-Daisy sent me a letter with links now!
In general, it would be nice Temko about audiobooks.
Sometimes there is one and the same book in different versions, so they are perceived differently

[hawk]

hawk, this resource has been closed for a long time. For three or four years, for sure. Maybe you can go in some other way, but I have not tried it yet. It's enough where I go without problems, until .... And then we'll see.
And about a separate audiobook ... Our tastes are so different that I do not always find what I like in e-books and what to read. And my tastes don't really coincide with anyone. I only know Monica (Alya), I usually write for her, what I liked.

[Twig]

Twig, And do Temko ?? I'm also interested in audiobooks .. Only I prefer it to be audio performances .. polyphonic .. Although. if the book is interesting, then just reading is fine

🔗... and so?

Ira, this resource has long been banned in Russia. And in general, rub it until you are punished. Even a personal does not miss such things, only a personal email address can be sent. And at one time, I started with this resource. She took everything from there. But then it was banned and I found an alternative.

Iris, nope, our provider is blocking. You need to go through the anonymizer.
Anatoly just threw me a link and found what he wanted! (the fourth book in the Millennium series, "The Girl Who Was Trapped in the Web")
About creating a theme, I can't :(

Girls, thanks for the hint !!
I did not know!!

Iris,
About creating a theme, I can't :(

And I..

Who likes fantasy music, Kopp reads, type MDS (model for assembly). Maybe you like it!

[Yuri198]

Yuri198, I can't listen to that. Music bothers me a lot. Thanks for the advice.

From my favorite books I can advise the readers Veta and the Witch. They can listen to everything, well ... almost everything. Of all the authors that they read, you can read other books. But I warn you - this is a female fantasy, for an amateur.

I'm listening to "black crow" now (maybe someone remembers the series)
Well, actually, just like the impression from the film - the beginning is very tempting and promising, and then everything is crumpled. But I decided to finish it off.
After the first book, one could stop.

Gorgeous production of "parsley syndrome" by Dina Rubina.
The search gave several options, see exactly the one with Chulpan Khamatova.
Oh, listen and download, of course :)

Favorite reader - Tatiana Nenarokomova ..

hawk, oh, thanks, I'll look. I love to listen to Ruby.

I am a beginner listener to books. Ladies, please share the links to the audio libraries.

[you can't buy anywhere]

MaDaMa, you cannot link to torrents here. For official purchase only

With audiobooks, I don't understand everything: more audiobooks are released by the club of audiobook lovers under the brand name "you can't buy anywhere". And indeed, you can't buy anywhere in the store! And books are read by both professional actors and amateurs-reciters, and sometimes by the authors themselves .. - for example, Dina Rubina. After all, this is an additional advertisement for the book: I liked the audiobook - I bought it from "paper".
