works well.......2007-06-09

this mp3 player seems to hold together pretty well. some of the controls are a little strange though. sound quality is good and a little loud so it uses batteries quicker.

very very good stuff.......2007-05-15

this is a very good stuff it make every things that say!

Big Bang and a surprise.......2007-02-22

Bought it to use for mp3 to replace a CD player for the road. Tried it to record my band and after finding the right settings, this thing is a great little recorder. I can record gigs, no gear to mess with and download it to my computer, burn CD's, etc. Tried other brands and they cant even come close as recorders. Cant beat it for the bucks, and sounds better than the CD player it replaced, too. Only complaint is the ear buds were HUGE!

Coby MP3 Player.......2007-01-21

What do you want an MP3 player for? To listen to music, right? Well, this little unit does just that and more. The earphones were a little uncomfortable, so I bought a set of Skull Candy earphones with an inline volume control for $10 and I'm set. The nice thing about this unit is that it takes an SD memory card, so you can upgrade from the 256MB it comes with. And although it's advertised that you can upgrade up to 768MB by adding a 512MB SD card, I found that you can add a 1GB card and get even more songs on it. It has a voice record function, so you can dictate notes to yourself. A nice feature, but who buys an MP3 player for that, anyway? For the price, this little player beats a lot of more expensive ones just because a lot of them don't have the capability to expand memory.

Coby MP3 Player # MP-C641.......2007-01-10

I was pleased with the appearance of the player and how easy it was to load songs. But AFTER 20 MINUTES OF USE, IT BROKE. After pushing in the menu button to make a different selection, the button stuck in and wouldn't come out. The music stopped and a weird noise came thru the head phones. I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS PRODUCT !!!

Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound.......2007-09-07

After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.

The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.

If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DELL LAPTOPS.......2007-09-02

After several weeks of light, mid-volume use, the speaker stopped working on my Dell Latitude D500 and I began receiving error messages noting a "device malfunction". After trading emails with J-Lab customer service, I was instructed to return the speaker by mail (at my expense) for a refund. The refund I received was 80% of the original purchase price because, according to J-Lab, the device was still "working" upon receipt. The representative handling the return acknowledged that there has, in fact, been a history of compatibility issues with Dell laptops-- in other words, a "working" speaker may not always operate correctly when connected to a Dell laptop. Is trying this speaker on your Dell worth the risk of paying two sets of shipping charges, losing 20% of the purchase price, and spending time emailing representatives and repacking/mailing the device? If not, maybe it's worth considering alternatives.

Are we listening to the same speakers?.......2007-08-08

We bought this speaker for our Gateway M505 Media Laptop on a recent trip. The M505 has reasonable speakers for a laptop, but their volume level isn't quite strong enough for us to be happy--we'd always find ourselves straining to hear dialogue from movies.

From reading the reviews I honestly thought this would solve our problem in a nifty self-contained USB-powered fashion.

For us it didn't.

We found the speakers to be nearly identical to the M505 speakers, and while the B-Flex did give us the tiniest improvement in volume, it wasn't enough to really give us adequate volume, or the "big sound" many reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is no way a speaker the size of these can give the kind of frequency response any level of audiophile would be happy with.

So, who should try out this speaker? If you have standard tinny sounding laptop speakers (the almost nonexistent kind), these will be a big improvement. Also you will like the fact that it is USB powered so no batteries, no cords are needed.

However, having said that, I really think the bottom line is, to get truly better sound, you need to use a powered speaker. I think some of the JBL's may be the way to go.

For cost of these guys, unless you catch them on sale, my advice is to keep looking. We had to return ours. (Thanks to Amazon a really fair & generous return policy).

Definite improvement over stock, and extremely portable.......2007-07-08

My boyfriend bought me this speaker. It is plug-and-play. On my computer, often movies are not loud enough for some reason and with this speaker it's as loud as we could possibly want. Also I can blast my music throughout the house from my laptop - before I could not because it sounded horrible at high volumes.

I'm not much of a sound expert, but I think it sounds pretty good.

Love this laptop speakers!! My laptop speakers suck so much that this little guy just gives me the wonderful sound my laptop deserves!! I highly recommend it!!

Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.

It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.

Like it so much bought it for a friend........2007-03-08

I like the sound of mine so much I bought one fo my friend for his birthday. It's not super loud but you can listen to music from your mac, with good quality. Just plug it into your USB port. My friend loves his too. He uses his all the time. Great for travel.

Works perfectly........2007-01-30

Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.

Lots of power in a small package.......2007-01-19

I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.

Cool!.......2007-01-13

It was a gift to my daughter and she was thrilled! We were all amazed at
the "out of the box" design and think that the folks at JLab need to expand and create a whole lot of new "out of the box" stuff to make life
easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!

Amazon Product Description

Today, fans of MP3 players have a variety of options from which to choose. Those who prefer super-high capacity players -- some of which are capable of storing over 10,000 songs -- should look into hard drive-based players such as Apple's iPod or Creative Labs' Nomad Jukebox. Those who want removable media should investigate MP3 CD players such as Panasonic's SL line. But if budget, size, and durability are a priority, flash memory-based players are the way to go. Substantially smaller and less expensive than most of the alternatives and utilizing shockproof flash memory rather than comparatively fragile hard drives or CDs, flash memory players deliver excellent bang for the buck. The tradeoff is capacity - flash memory players simply can't store as many songs as some of the pricier units. Nevertheless, most can handle at least one hour of music, more than enough for most music enthusiasts. One such flash memory player is the Coby MP-C640. At just 2.75 by 2.2 by .75 inches, it appropriates less pocket space than a typical wallet yet stores approximately two hours of music on its 128 MB integrated flash memory chip. And if two hours isn't enough, you can effectively double it to four hours by adding a standard 128 MB SD/MMC memory card. But the Coby MP-C640 offers much more than just MP3 playback. It's an FM radio too, as well as a digital voice recorder with up to 16 hours total recording time. Coby has also added several desirable operational perks, including a five-position user-selectable EQ and a dot matrix LCD display for instant access to information such as song title and artist. Compatible with both Mac and PC computers, the Coby MP-C640 features a mini USB PC interface for uploading and downloading, a USB cable, convenient carrying strap and a pair of stereo headphones. The unit requires just a single AA battery and delivers up to nine hours of use per cell.

Coby MPC641 MP3 Player.......2007-09-21

Rating out of 5 stars....negative 5!
This is the worst thing I have ever purchased. The thing looks very cheap. Once you put the battery in it, it turns on. You can turn it off but guess what...can't turn it back on. There's a defect with the on switch. Then when you play a song it only last about 10 seconds before you hear a beeping noise and the whole thing shuts off. Complete piece of crap....don't waste your money.

This thing is extremely unreliable.
Mine is broken in less than 2 month!!!
Don't bother to thinking about it!!!

Buyer beware! .......2005-03-17

The first day I started using my Buslink MP3 player, it served me wonderfully. Despite the shoddy quality of its construction, the sound quality was fine, all of the buttons and functions worked, and changing the playlist by simply dragging and dropping files from my iBook could not have been any simpler. What a great value, I thought.

DAY TWO ROLLS AROUND. . .

The problems that showed up on this player are unbelievable! Problems first arose when the player would jump to different songs in the middle of playing a song. It then began to freeze up whenever I tried to play a song, and at that point the only way to turn the player off was by removing the batteries. I thought that perhaps by emptying all of the data from the player and starting anew, the player's problems would be resolved. When I added the new songs to the player, the player's screen flashed that no songs were on it. The player then began to freeze when more songs were added to it from my computer. To add insult to injury, the player would then cause my computer to freeze up.

What was initially a "good deal" ended up as a waste of money and a great deal of frustration. I highly recommend shoppers look to Creative, Samsung, Apple, or any other reputable brand for their MP3 player.

poor quality design and manufacture.......2004-10-31

While in the package this player looks fairly cool and small in size, there are definitive drawbacks to it.

The construction is not very robust. The control 'stick' is wimpy and hard to control.

Design drawbacks include, among others: if you're recording something with the built-in microphone, and you pause the recording, this doesn't count for the auto-off circuitry, so the entire unit shuts off if you don't un-pause it with 5 minutes. Wouldn't be so bad, except --- the entire recording you've made up to that point is erased back to 0 bytes. How stupid is that?!

Customer service stinks -- when described to them, they were "we don't control the units, we just sell them". Well, guess what? I don't use the player any longer, because I returned it.

Buy something else.

Yup, nice toy !.......2004-07-16

I bought it too and that a nice stuff ! I bought it on ebay @ 30 + 15 shipping. cheer Target ! :)

Do not buy this.......2004-07-15

This mp3 player sucks! Two weeks after I bought it the hardware broke and is unable to be fixed.The buslink support is non exsitent. So if it breaks there is nothing you can do. Stick to Sony, Phillips or Rio thoes are ligit.
