 Very good value for this type of media player Nov 26, 2008
By dorel_c
This player rivals in looks, feel, and features, other much more expensive brand names. Here are my notes:
1. First out of the box impression is very good. It feels pretty solid in your hand as the sides are made of metal. Nice change from the all light weight plastic players out there.
It comes with:
- very small headphones, ear-buds type, (and a pair of replacement protective covers for the ear-buds).
- USB cable, used to transfer the files and to charge the battery!
- Power adapter for charging the battery from the power outlet.
- A protective pouch to carry it around.
- A user manual printed and one as a pdf file already in the memory.
Overall a 5-star out of the box experience.
2. Connecting to computer and loading songs went smooth without any problems. No need for the instructions manual.
Once plugged in the USB port it was recognized as an USB external storage device. As such no other software is needed. You just copy and paste any files you would like to the drive, create folders, etc.
Also, the player is charging the battery through the USB cable while plugged in to any computer.
No problems there at all on connectivity and compatibility, again a 5-star experience.
3. Play back music and video.
It has a built in speaker but if you expect anything significant from it you would be disappointed as it is very small and the quality of the sound is very low.
At best I used it merely to confirm that the player is... playing.
However the quality of the music on headphones is excellent, comparable with any iPOD.
The video quality is surprisingly good. The truth is the display is pretty small, but how could a little player have a larger display? :-)
The display is pretty much as large as the face of the player.
Colors are nice, but in bright light outside the display is hard to see (just like the other players I've seen).
Overall the play back quality and experience is about 4-5 stars.
4. The controls are not quite as straight forward as one would expect.
I would say some are a little weird. For example if you are looking at the song list and pick one, I would expect when I push the play button to start playing that song. You have to push the "Menu" button, then you can see all the detailed info about the song and that is where you can push play to start the song. Also only now the "Volume" button is activated and after you push it you can use the Left/Right buttons to adjust the play back volume.
Overall I would say that the controls are a little awkward.
One actual problem that I found was the "Power" switch, which is obvious that does not cut the power to the player as one would think.
When plugged in to the computer, the "Power" switch does nothing and makes no difference if it is on or off. Also, after copying new songs to the memory, the player will not see them right away. You have to disconnect from the computer and turn the power off, wait a few seconds and then turn back on.
Only then will it update the play list.
So for controls and functionality I would give it a 3 - 4 stars.
5. Other features:
- I really like the power adapter for charging the battery. It is very small, works at 120 and 220V, and you plug in it the same USB cable to charge the player.
- I like that it has a built in microphone so you can record on it too, it has a radio, and a text reader for e-books (it does not read pdf, just text files).
- I like that it has a micro-SD card slot (supports up to 4GB of memory on the micro-SD card). I am not sure if it supports the micro-SDHD card.
- One disappointment I had was that it does not read "mpg" files, which is the format in which I happen to have many video files.
Perhaps a future upgrade might add this capability.
For these other features and extras I would give it another 4 points.
I looked for other similar players and they all were much more expensive and usually offer fewer features.
I think the V-Core offers all that you would expect from a mp3 player and much more, at a very reasonable price, which makes it a very good value.
Overall the score adds up to about 4.5 stars, and because it is made in China and I have no reliability info on it, I choose to score it 4-stars rather than 5.
(If you don't find this review useful, please leave a comment why, so I may improve in the future. Thank you)

Good Media Player May 06, 2009
By Michael Kolb
"designer and gamer"
I was actually looking at this product on another website and then found out it was cheaper here on Amazon. For the price I couldn't resist. The product is actually pretty good being in this price range and the only complaint I have is that not all avi files work. A little conversion and that can be solved. Another one is that the player is a bit loud with the headphones plugged in but getting a set of headphones with their own volume on them can solve that as well. The battery life is pretty good and Its great to listen to my mp3s, watch videos, and have plenty of space with the included SD slot for more space options. The radio didn't work fairly well but I blame that on my current location haha. I'm really impressed with the speakers on this thing, with the added 3D effect, it can really fill the room with audio or the movie you're watching.

Pruduct is a lemon Jul 14, 2009
By David Brown
I purchased one of this and within a week it stopped working, I had to pay $200 to them for a replacement, within a week it went bad to. They sent me a third and it will not work at all. They are very slow on the customer service response time. I would not recommend getting one of these.
