Great product August 20, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great price for a great little item. Although there is sometimes a little hissing on the tracks it still plays the songs really well. It now means an end to frantically searching for a cd when i'm stopped at traffic lights. Would reccommend for long journeys as well.
Cheap and cheerful charm June 25, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As the other reviewer says, the finish is a trifle tacky, but actually you get plenty for your penny. Full range of FM channels, clear backlit screen, on/off that stays on or off if you accidentally touch the thing and as for batteries... I just went down the pound shop and bought the cheapest AAAs they had (they were a pound, funnily enough...) and two of those lasted hours. Sound quality is fine, unless you are a hifi buff. Anyone who feels a bit of nostalgia for the crackle or hiss of the radios of their youth will be more than pleased with it. The 4.99 postage is ridiculous, but if they charged 2.50 postage, the gizmo would be 2.50 instead of a penny. In short, a good fiver's worth.
You get what you pay for... October 19, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I live in North Norfolk and use these transmitters with my IPAQ, iPod nano, Sony CD Player and Nokia N95
Pros: Does the job. Just.
Cons: Tacky looking, Usual Ringing, No Hold Button
IN THE BOX:
You get a USB Cigarette charger (worth a penny for that really) USB cord to connect to the transmitter and the unit. No rechargable batteries are included
LOOKS:
Tacky. Basically.
ROBUST:
It's survived two weeks in my car, so its gotta do pretty well. Battery cover doesn't fall off which is the normal problem. No hold button though so I have to leave it in my car because it drains power so fast if it switches on in your handbag
SOUNDS:
Not bad for a penny really, good sound in both speakers. Holds the signal well and if the radio adjusts it changes automatically (not all of them do, some just cut out) When you go through a bad signal patch it just cuts out in one speaker for a couple of seconds. It does make a horrible white noise if you move it or the MP3 Player whilst in use
BATTERY:
This is the only thing (apart from the hold switch) That I really am miffed about. I use Energizer 2000mAh batteries with this unit, but it can't charge through the cigarette charger as fast as it uses the battery life. Which means you either have to switch it off and let it charge for a bit every couple of days or change the batteris, which evades the point of having an in car charger! Also there is no indecator on the unit that it is charging (apart from the fact that it doesn't die every 4 hours!) It doesn't charge the MP3 player too.
EXTRA FEATURES:
Apparently there's a flashlight (!) I assume this means the backlight, which is pretty good, gives a nice sharp display, and a thermometor which is permenantly stuck on room temperature. Make your own choices here!
THE ANNOYING IN CAR WHISTLE:
It seems nearly all of these carry this "feature" which is why I list it seperately. With this one, on certain songs on my iPod its non exisitant because the song volume is loud, with the rest its just a dull ring and sits in the background. With my Nokia N95, there's no interference at all because you can turn it up loud enough to drown it out, the same with my IPAQ. My CD player works fine too.
CONCLUSION:
If you just want something that does the job, this is perfect, it comes with everything you need to get started. The only problems are the ringing (as standard), the battery and the lack of a hold button (but that's personal preference.
