How does it compare to this?

This one has video playback, which you might not want...

Otherwise the pro is certainly a better device.

How does this compare to the $60 samvix? Is this better quality?

Which model Majority to which model Samvix?

And which quality issues did you have/do you know with the Samvix that you're looking for something better?

I don’t know too much about either but I heard people had complaints with the samvix, and wanted to know if this is better worse or the same.

I never compared them both physically, but to me the Majority MP3 Pro looks like an obvious winner over the SAMVIX Dynamite (if you don't mind the video playback on the Majority MP3 Pro).

The glass front isn't the full front only the screen (less surface to break), the buttons are much more physical, the battery life is double, the internal memory is 8 times. And yet, it's cheaper.

I know it's obvious but just pointing out that once there is micro SD slot you can upload literally anything onto it

On the topic, how does this device do in the kosher section?

Is there wifi? Does the video restrictions work?

Based on the info on the listings (can't vouch for them, but don't see why they'd be lying) this TIMMKOO Q3E doesn't have Wi-Fi (and also not Radio), they have another model (TIMMKOO Q5) that does.

Considering the quality is decent (reviews aren't great), it seems like a fair price.

As I wrote above, the Majority one from Amazon is a pretty good cheap option. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CX1X8WH1

20% off coupon now.

Seems like you can just reset the device to reinstall whatever was blocked…
Would like something similar to this with touch screen but without wifi radio and video playback. Is there such a thing on Amazon?

Thanks!
This is for myself to listen to shiurim at a quicker speed, so I don't mind the radio, as long as it has no internet capabilities.

I'm looking for a mp3 to listen to shiurim while walking. (doesn't have to be kosher) Smartphone with internet I'm leaving at home. mp3 is lighter, maybe with a clip.  Looked on Amazon, but the comments seem to be negative. Thanks for any suggestions

I've had good experiences with the Samvix brand, but they are cheaper if you can get someone to bring you one from EY. (Average half price)

Any shop in Jerushalayim or duty free ?

4 out of 5 Average is not bad (not that I trust the reviews very much, but if that's what you're trying to go by).

You expect it to somehow have a 5-star rating and not have any negative reviews? How many items do you know that are like that? (Let along when you know you're buying something for not very expensive.)

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks. Was unsure.
By the way, thanks again for the UDL tip.  Using it daily

I use reviews pretty strongly in some purchasing decisions
