DESCRIPTION:
Forgive the noise in the background, my unprepared review and errors, my accent and the shit in here.

I'll write a detailed review on head-fi as well in time, so that'll explain the player and earbuds in more detail.

NOTES: Please note that this is MP3 and not MP4
I know... you may think... why ATH-M50x? Closed-backs? I know. These buds and monks and stuff are all open back. The mention of M50 and to an extent, the EMU is just to give you an idea. Don't judge me entirely.

The MP3 player is about $27 including one-week shipping (say from China to the Middle East) and that ALONE justifies the price for what good stuff you get: the buds.

The device is fairly light - very portable. It's about the size of a large cigarette lighter, just a few grams. Portability is just great. Great for outdoor use/sports. Just slips in the pocket. In fact, you must use a band/ring to avoid losing it.

The charging takes about 20 minutes to full - playback time is about 3 hours I suppose. Sound is good, though you would have to have an amplifier for more demanding headphones. For IEMs/Buds, they'll be just fine.

Transfer is simple and easy... plug and play, and you'll find the player's drive in your computer. Just copy and paste music. If you plug in a card, you'll see an extra [microSD] drive where you can also copy and paste music files.

File support is decent enough; AAC/MP3/WAV/FLAC. Can't run DSD (of course) but you'll be covered for all common formats.
