This will be interesting as we know that X-micro makes good prodcuts from before. The product is very nicely packed in a standard X-Micro box. The harddrive won’t have any damage during shipping in one of these boxes. On the back we have features in english, spanish, german etc etc.

Lets have a closer look on the accessories included with the player. We have the quick start manual, cd with drivers, and a cd with Winrip so you can make your own mp3 songs from Cds. The black cable is the main USB cable you need to get this thing to run and then there is also several different USB adapters.

AC adapter is needed to charge the player as it does not charge through the USB port. Quick charge (70% battery) takes one hour and a full charge takes about three hours to charge up. The necklace and earphones are built into each other so you have a nice necklace with earphones in one instead of having two separate ones.
