Insignia Sport 2GB Video MP3 Player Reviewed

I got the Insignia Sport 2GB Video MP3 Player unpacked few days ago. It looks pretty similar to the Insignia 4GB MP3 Player, but much more smaller than it. The size of Insignia Sport is small. As the name describe, it is designed to be used while you’re exercising.

I was impressed with its price/feature ration. Bestbuy’s Insignia is best known with the affordable and well-designed technology. With less than $80, you are just enough to get an iPod Shuffle 1GB. But you get Bluetooth-enabled MP3 player at the same price (previously $90, now $75).

You have no hassle while exercising if you play it with wireless Bluetooth headphones. With the scroll wheel button, you can control it easily with just one hand. Don’t worry if you’re left-handed like me. The button rotation can be switched to suit your need. Well, if you have a large palm, the buttons might probably too small for you

Don’t expect you’ll get top sound quality. But it never fails you too. The provided headphones drop down some performance. When I paired it with the Bluetooth headphones, the sound seems clearer and less distortion. An interesting part is that you can rate the audio tracks, just like what you do in Windows Media Player. Although the Insignia Sport only plays video at 15fps, but the quality is still acceptable. The video playback is quite smooth, no lacking. However, it does not work with Bluetooth headphones.

Another thing that surprise me is its battery life. It stated that the fully charged battery can play up to 25 hours. I did manage to play it during my journey to office for whole week with only one charge. Furthermore, this is a replaceable battery. You can easily find a replacement at Partsearch.

Overall, I rate it 6.5/10 for its mobility and price. It would be better if Insignia improves the video playback and provides a better earphones. For those who buy it, I suggest you all to get its Bluetooth headphones. It definitely useful when you’re working out!
