MP3 Players Review

mobiBLU Cube DAH-1500i 1 GB Digital Audio Player Black

Customer Reviews

Fun and functional!

I've had the mobiBLU 1gb for nearly a year now and it's been a good, solid mp3 player. After formatting it (which I feel like you should always do with a new storage drive) upon receiving, I haven't had to do it since. I will admit it does take a little poking around with to find all the different settings and features but it's not hard to figure out. There are some short-comings worth mentioning to potential buyers: 1. the buttons could've been better mapped, and someone with bigger fingers may have trouble accidentally overlapping. 2. song order. It only seems to organize by the first word. You can have multiple tracks from the same artist and while all the artist's tracks will play in a group, the song title order won't be alphabetical. It's a minor thing but it'll probably bother some. 3. the fm stereo could sound better. It's not bad but not above and beyond either.....however, you're likely buying this for mp3 playing and not the radio, so that's also only another minor short-coming and it serves its purpose for hearing local stations. All in all, I've been very happy with this mp3 player and will continue to be. It's compact, has a nice light-up screen, a useful neck strap/ear phone design, plenty disk space for the casual listener, and with the rubber bumper guard on, I've dropped it a few times with no damage.

Love it!

I've had my Mobiblu for about 6 months and it works great. I did have a problem, like I noticed in some of the other reviews, with songs not playing. I tried sending an email to the company, but I never got a response. Finally after trying several things, like recopying songs back on to it and reformatting - I finally read where it says you can only have 50 folders including subfolders. While I only had 20-something folders, each of those folders had a separate sub-folder for each artist CD. To solve the problem, for artists that had several songs I gave them their own folder, but I made sure I didn't have separate folders for each CD for the same artist. For artists that I only had 1 or 2 songs for, I put in a common Various Artists folder. I now have the same 20-something folders, but no sub-folders and every song now plays. I use it a lot around the house and at the gym. It does bounce when running, but I just put inside my shirt and I don't have a problem. I picked it because it was small and attractive and easy to use and I'm still happy with it.

Frustrating

I purchased a Mobiblu DAH-1500i last Christmas for my daughter. It arrived promptly and looked great. We loaded on some MP3s that we had and bought a few more through the Walmart online music store. All seemed to go smoothly. However, a few weeks later, several songs that had been loaded would not play. We tried resetting and reloading loading everything and still could not get 100% working. I have repeatedly emailed the tech support, once in March, again in May and again over the summer. Never received a response. I have tried updating the firmware but for some reason, that has been unresponsive on my system. Also the headphones broke not long after we purchased it. I would not recommend buying this.

Bad Product

While the size and design are very innovative, the functionality is non-existant. The waste of money will not play ANY LEGALLY OWNED music downloads. I tried several different file types, but the only files that will work are some old MP3s that I had before Napster was declared illegal. This thing is a joke and the info on their website is not helpful. They do not answer the phone or answer email. I have been RIPPED OFF!!!

ok for 5 mos, then died, NO cust support

i initally bought this player for the size and price, and i was very pleased for about 5 months, but suddenly my computer would not recognize it. apparently, from reading a few blogs, its a common prob., and when i tried calling mobiblu's toll free number for cust. service, the inbox was full. sure, the 1 year warranty is good on paper, but good luck trying to claim it. BUYER BEWARE~!!!
