Like it very much, but am having problems with adjusting the volume. I don't like the earphones, but haven't had time to purchase any new ones, which I intend to do. Light weight, easy to carry, otherwise it's a dream.

Good product [...]

By Abie from New York, NY on 01/3/2008.

Pros:	Durable, Long Battery Life, Stable, Good Sound, Powerful, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:	Practical
Best Uses:	Running, Daily Use

I thought the remote control unit was an additional attachment rather than a central connector which can't be bypassed. I don't always need or want a remote control. At these times it's combersome.However everything else about this product [...] lived up to my expections.

Top of the line product

By Ed from Grand Junction, CO on 12/27/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Gearhead, Frequent Traveler
Pros:	Powerful, Good Sound, Lightweight, Durable, Stable
Best Uses:	Running, Daily Use, Commuting, Travel

A very nice product that does all it says it will and more. A little bit of a learning curve on the controls but not bad. I didn't get to use it much since I bought it for my sister but I was wishing I had one. A strap or clip would be nice since it's a bit large for your pocket. [...]

A product one can surely recommend...
