Bastard mp3 player

#

Started by msd in Chit-Chat

The Creative Zen Micro is fucking rubbish, don’t buy one.

I started reading warning reviews shortly before mine fucked up, I sent it back at my own expense and had to wait three weeks for another, and the bastard’s just broken again, in exactly the same way, after less than a month.

I shall be straight down Argos this weekend to get my money back, and if they refuse I will smash up their cheap jewellery counter.

Far be it from me to be a prophet of doom, but I reckon yours will fuck up as well. my first one lasted a few months. I think it’s a general design fault, I can’t see how some survive and some don’t…

well I looked at some pictures..and even from the start if there’s a small gap in the jack then apparently it will start to wobble and then you know the rest…
Mine doesn’t..but I’m taking extra care with it just in case Eg not taking out the headphones often

Never once took the headphones out and there was no discernible wobbling on mine either…

I think it’s fucking lousy though, particularly the fact that they’re sending out exactly the same model as a replacement. Apart from the cost of postage and the wait I had to fucking trek to the other side of Leeds to pick it up…bastards.

If they continue to refuse to accept this problem then I may be forced to refuse to accept the fact that I can’t mail them a parcel bomb.

I hope yours survives, but let me know if it doesn’t…

Mine is shite as well… I don’t know the brand but the original one was ok till I made it crash :o
They replaced it by brandless mp3 player, since mine where no longer available… eversince I’m taking it back every time I used it… it’s really shite. It gives GSM-errors… quite annoying when you travel by train alot, they always keep giving me the same brandless shite when I turn it in.
I’ve asked for another brand, ‘cause this is the shittiest mp3 player ever… 1 traintrip and it’s fucked! :mad:

That does indeed sound like the shittiest mp3 player ever! The two I’ve had have lasted about 3 months (combined), which sounds an amazingly long period of time compared to yours! ;)
