Sony Bean By tbk06 on Jan 25, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This has been my favorite mp3 player so far. It is very durable with no moving parts. It is small enough to fit inside your hand, literally the size of your thumb. The curves also feel very ergonomical being able to be used left or right handed. The controls take a little while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's very simple. I have to mention the durability again considering the numerous times which I have dropped the bean on all types of surfaces from brick to concrete to tilele and it remained in good working order. The only time it had trouble was when I dropped it on the actual joystick which caused it to jam causing me to have to buy a new mp3 player, however, it remains my all time favorite. The battery life is also amazing, up to 50 hours from a one hour charge or 3 hours from a quick 3-minute turbo charge.
