Frontier Labs Nex II

For eighteen months I have been trying to persuade myself to by an MP3 player, my wife even offered to buy me one for my birthday, I turned her down in favour of some DVDs. No I like music, my tastes are fairly eclectic but I am not passionate about it. ~~~ WHY MP3? ~~~ So it is the first week in November 2001, in a month’s time we will be jetting off to the Philippines for a months holiday. We are flying with Singapore Airlines, who have an extensive onboard entertainment system, 18 hours on a plane is a long time. When I relax I like to listen to mellow music, soul, R&B, Classical even a little Jazz. With a personal stereo this would mean ...  Read the complete review

About a week ago I suggested that this product be added to the DooYoo database because I was eager to write a review on a very nice MP3 player. And here it is! Frontier Labs are a Hong Kong based company that specialise in digital music devices. There is currently only one UK online retailer authorised to sell the Nex II but don't let that put you off.

I have had my Nex 2 for a year now and use it every day. It has unbelieveable battery life lasting me around one month with two AA batteries. It is extremely modern looking with blue back light display which is extremely easy to read. It also comes with interchangeable covers so you can personalise it to your own like, so every model of it can be different. IT also only weighs 65 grams!! it is very light weight. i sometimes forget its there. The actual buttons on the nex are very easy to use. It has simple volume buttons on one side + -. Along side with a scrolling button so you can jog through your songs. There is also a mode button on the left side so yuo ...  Read the complete review
