Advantages: Good value for money, huge video screen, active online community

Disadvantages: None

I have owned my Meizu M6 MP3 Player for over 2 years now, and use it on a daily basis. Overall, I've been delighted with it. It is small and light (60g), and looks smart with a large, bright, clear screen which is great for watching videos on long journeys. It is robust and comes with a pocket which protects it well - I have dropped it, carried it about in the bottom of bags and gone jogging with it and it still looks as-new. The user interface is intuitive, and it's easy to navigate between menus. There's an active online community which provides discussion, support, display skins and general tips for use, and you can buy extra accessories (such as an arm strap to carry it while exercising) on eBay.

The headphones that come with it are fairly decent, although I decided to upgrade to some in-ear headphones after a while.

A few minor criticisms - I'd like it to start up more quickly, especially after disconnecting from the computer when it seems to re-check its file listing regardless of whether any new files have been loaded. On a couple of occasions I've managed to freeze the display by accidentally mashing the buttons, but this is rare and easily solved by leaving it for a while until it turns itself off.

I'd definitely recommend this product, and would consider Meizu for future purchases.

Summary: Used regularly for 2 years with no problems - I'm very pleased.
