Reviews for mobiBLU Cube 1GB MP3 Player

FM Tuner - OLED - Black - MPN: DAH1500I1GBBLACK

How can so much fit into something so tiny?

Strengths: Size, the OLED display rocks! Plays MP3 and WMA DRM, flash drive, voice and FM recording, sound quality

Weakness: Tracks don't playback in order

The size and convenience is awesome. It comes with headphones that are built into a lanyard, so you can just wear it around your neck. It is true wearable music! It comes with a protective rubber crate case, which really protects the unit and the screen. The screen is very cool, looks like those high-end car stereo decks. The only bad thing is the tracks don't playback in order, but I usually just load it with music and set it on shuffle.

WHAT A CUBE!

Strengths: Small and easy to carry around Has tons of uses/functions Has incredible sound

Weakness: Can be difficult to use at first Not all uses/functions are so good Short battery life

The MobiBlu is a great little mp3 player. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge it out of the box using the usb cable that comes with the package. The battery lasts for about 8 to 10 hours, which is plenty of time for those who are not using it throughout the entire day. It is so small and it comes with necklace headphones, which makes carrying it around very simple. The MobiBlu can hold about 500 songs depending on the bitrate of the songs stored on it and it can also act as a portable hard drive that you can store files on. It has a voice recorder on it and it can play fm radio using the headphones as antennaes! The stations don't come in all that great, but it is still a cool feature. It may be a little awkward to use at first, but after repetitive use it will not be a problem. The sound is great and it comes with an equalizer to help you make your own sound. Songs can be deleted without having to plug the cube into a computer. The cube's firmware can be updated using the MobiBlu website and you will find whatever help you need on that site as well. It's just a marvel that something so small can do so much and still work really well. I definitely recommend this mp3 player to those who are looking for something different than the usual ipod.

Greatest MP3 to date.

Strengths: Small Size, Plenty of EQ settings, Display shows title of songs and Folders, built in FM Radio, Sound, OLED Screen.

Weakness: I never used the headphones that it came with, but I dont think I like how its a necklace type.

I dont know what these people are saying about not being able to play the songs in order, but mine does. I click the setting to play in normal mode and it does. I can even choose to play Randon in a specific folder or in All folders. I use this everyday for my commute to work and I love it. I had a couple of MP3 players in my day and I always go for the one that is the smallest one.
I mean cmon, a 1gb MP3 player in the size of a cube, you cant beat that.

MobiBlu Great Player

Strengths: Size, clearity of screen and ease of operations. Number one: this the the easiest mp3 player of load with music. It works just like a "minicruzer" - just drop and load any music you wish.

Weakness: few, if any

I have two iPods and several other mp3 players. This is the best, easiest to use with all the features needed. FM radio works well in fringe areas. Extremely small size attracts interest from others.

A little cube with a little problem.

Strengths: Small, great audio detail, easy to find a certain song, etc.

Weakness: Earphones don't stay in, uses USB cable.

I love this little thing but I am having a problem right now. I am having trouble putting music on it from a CD and I have absolutely NO idea what is wrong. I have plenty of memory, my USB cable is working, my CD drive is fine, but I still don't know what's wrong. I've never had any trouble before but know I am. If anyone has any advice please help.

Fun for a while

Strengths: small size great audio

Weakness: awkward size can't see display outside CRAPPED OUT IN 40 DAYS

Easy to update.
Not compatible with Yahoo's music subscription.
Does not play in same order in directory.
WOW equalizer great. Custom equalizer available.
Combo ear plug + necklace is cool, bounces around when working out though.
Not much volume available.
Full charge did not last 10 hours as advertised, more like 5.
All that being said, once it crapped out in 40 days I was no longer interested.
There are so many accessories for the iPod, I may go with it even though it's more expensive.

Amazing to hear such a negative review when others are so positive. One bad apple I guess...

Great Player

Strengths: Small, portable, light weight, sound is great, easier to install and transfer files than iPOD's, great clear display

Weakness: Buttons may be too tiny for people with fat fingers (considering it's the size of a quarter)

Overall, am extremely satisfied with this player. It's super tiny and easy to work with. Also works as a portable USB drive, has great battery life, and has all the functionalities you'd want in an MP3 player without the setup fuss like Apple's iPODs.

My wonderful little new best friend...

Strengths: Size, colors, screen, easy use, unique ear phones/ neck lanyard

This is one great little MP3 player. It is a wonderful addition to our family. We currently have three other MP3 players, none of which compare to thhe mobiBLU. The mobiBLU USB AC Charger unit works well in conjunction also. Great listening ahead!

Strengths: I like the sound quality

Weakness: fashion accessories limited

I really like the small compact size of the device because I like to carry it in my purse. I like the color too. I am so happy with the mobiblu.

MobiBlu

the unigue design and small factor is the major selling point for this mobilBlu. The price for 1G mp3 is not bad at all, you can get it fro walmart for aroung $130. Only thing I don't like its kind of uncomfortable to put this in your poket(I don't like put it on my neck)

MobiBlu DAH-1500i

With such a crowded MP3 player field, anything not named iPod or Zen has an uphill battle trying to lure followers. The MobiBlu DAH-1500i stands out from the crowd by being the smallest flash player yet. This tiny blue cube boasts features the iPod Shuffle lacks, including a bright OLED display, FM radio, and voice recorder. Some may find this device a little too cute, but MobiBlu backs up its...

The MobiBlu purports to be the worlds smallest MP3 player, and we believe the claim. The 0.6 ounce 1 cubic inch wonder raised a few eyebrows and exacted more than one "Wow" when it arrived in the office.
