AGPtek-players any good ?

(1/15) > >>

Well now that my old Sansa Clip+`s battery is dying i am looking for a replacement. The AGPtek-players seem quite well recived,considering amazon reviews and the price tag. My questions are now:
 
Does anybody have experience with those players?
Are they any good for audiobooks?
Is the batterylife really as good as advertised?
Which model could be recommended?

AGPtEK A02 70 Hours Music Playback MP3 Lossless Sound Entry
AGPTek A06 50 Hours Music Playback Bluetooth MP3 Lossless
AGPtEK B03 8GB MP3 Lossless Sound 40 Hours Music Playback

One major point (where rockbox spoiled me) would be the speed of the fastforward and if it would be possible to disable "the skip to next title option".

This topic has already been discussed at http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51071.msg235808.html#msg235808 where the designers of those device said they are based on Rockchip Nano-C and Nano-C which don't have enough memory for a port. They said their next device might be designed so that a port is possible.

Thanks for the answer. But the technical details in those posts are far beyond my kowlege. I was asking in a more general way simply because the amazon reviews for those 3 models ,  seem relatively mixed(more on the positiv side though). They are all in the same quite low price range (around 30-40€). So could any of those models be considered an alternativ to the sansa clip+? Now that they arent produced anymore and only sold at exorbitant prices. Any future agptek-models that would support rockbox would have a huge bonus in my eyes but for now an ui that isnt totally terrible would be enough.

From a bare-bones features perspective, they are OK. Only recently did they add a "back" and "menu" button to one of their devices devices. Up till then you had this weird button layering going on where even turning the volume up was a weird experience. Most of this stuff I would be able to look over  if it had the ability to just go to a folder and Play All + Subfolders akin to the rockbox Insert Shuffled.

To answer your question yes, Agptek MP3 players are good MP3 players. They're improving their products so fast, and they bring new MP3 every now and then.

Agptek recently (May of 2016) launched an MP3 player very similar to the Sansa Clip+: 8GB, Micro SD card up to 32GB, a clip on back, it comes only in black color, and the company claims that it can deliver up to 35 hours of batter life.
It looks like very good competition to the Sansa Clip+, both in design and in performance, especially that now a days Sansa Clip+ can't be sold by fair price, always a blowed price, because it's SanDisk stopped making them.

I recommend you read Agptek A12 review  http://mp3playeradvisor.com/agptek-a12-mp3-player-review/ to learn more about its features and specifications.

By the way Agptek B03 model is very good too, it comes with independent volume controls unlike the previous model A02.
So B03 is definitely better than A02.
