Oscar, Reading/Berkshire , “gadget lover”

Score 9.0/10

+ Ability to take all your multimedia stuff with you everywhere. Ideal for use mostly when travelling ie. watching movies whilst on a plain or on a train. All in all a brilliant entertainment device.

- Although the sound quality is very good, in my experience, the volume level is not powerfull enough while using the device on a noisy environment like inside of a plane.
