MP3-Player Made in Germany Royal BC05 - Clip, Sport, Fitness Player, microSD cards are supported with up to 32 GB, no internal storage - Up to 15 hours battery life time - Bertronic

This is quite a nice MP3 player.Its made of metal so has a bit of weight to it (not that great, that it feels uncomfortable)The clip is nice and strong, its not flimsyand the sound quality is wonderful. Plays the music really well and doesnt skip.I have had cheaper MP3 players and they dont work as well and can be glitchy.This on the other hand is wonderful to use. Easy and the rubber buttons and their shape just make it intuitive to use.Well worth the money spent (PS THE "S" turns the player on and off, it has a red LED light to indicate when it is in use and lastly it has no internal memory, you need to place in a MICRO SD CARD)

I bought this for my wife for use in the gym as the phone proved impractical. The strong clip is very good for holding it in place while running and it has a strong metal case. She uses it with Sony over ear head phones which work well and give a good quality sound. It was smaller than I was expecting but that is actualy a benefit. It will only play mp3 files which does mean a lot of converting of the mp4 files. It is simple in operation with good positive buttons and does seem to holds a charge for 15 hours . The one thing it really lacks is a shuffle feature.

Simple, basic and straightforward. Needs to have a memory card. Build quality suprisingly good. Audio quality more than passable.

My search is over ;-) I have been searching for a simple mp3 player that my father who is in his 80s and is recovering from a stroke, can use to listen to audio books. I cannot believe that this device costs so little. The packaging is perfect, and it comes with simple instructions, a set of earphones, a silicon case, a holding bag and a usb charger. It requires a micro SD card. The sound quality is excellent, and a standby button ensures that when the device is reactivated it resumes playing at the point it was switched off at. Perfect for audio books.

Product has failed after 4 uses. Destroyed by micro SD card (corrupt beyond recovery). Failed after the exceptionally short return window. Will be trying to return as not fit for purpose and is obviously faulty. When it did work the sound was decent, good bass but the lack of any form of shuffle was disappointing. Still I would rather have some music than none, so would just have been content with an MP3 player that was robust enough to last at least 12 months of occasional use. If anyone knows how to get the returns process started for faulty orders, please let me know. The system doesn't want to help, going around in circles springs to mind. Perhaps I could sing my own songs whilst waiting.....

Simple MP3 player - functions well, great sound reproduction, nice and robust for the gym and the clip has enough grip to jog without having to hold it - nothing sophisticated about it but then I don't need sophistication when I'm working out, just something to play some motivational music and this does the job perfectly!

Earphones are pathetic and it doesn't have song shuffle. If you want these go elsewhere...

I had a shuffle from another expensive make and used it at the gym. Then is stopped working and I didn't want to pay over £80 for a new one so tried this. Works well, good sound quality and amazing value for money. You can't just drag songs over from your library - you need to change them to mp4 format but that doesn't take long.
