Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Great unit for my tastes

Tue, 29 Apr 2003 11:39:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ken_kimg - The NexIIe is a wonderful unit for my tastes. I use it for a lot of voice recordings at very low bitrates (16kbps). It plays them flawlessly. Also works great for music mp3's compressed at a wide range of bitrates / samplerates. There is a small...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Why choose the NEX IIe?

Fri, 24 Jan 2003 16:12:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cre8tiv1 - Would I purchase the NEX IIe again if given the chance? Probably not. I could delve into the technicalities at great length, but, what is the bottom line?

Upon first opening the NEX IIe's package I saw the typical modern conglomeration of...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Great Value with a Few Minor Problems

Mon, 13 Jan 2003 21:49:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidGriffiths - I still haven’t found the perfect MP3 player, but things are looking up with the new products that are being released almost every other month.

My Samsung Yepp was falling apart; the battery door didn’t quite close, the buttons...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Nex II Digital Audio Player

Thu, 9 Jan 2003 00:54:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nsenger - I purchased my Nex II off of frontierlabs.com thinking it was going to be some cheesy hollow non-durable mp3 player (what you'd expect when you're paying $109). Little did I know that the Nex II is one of the highest quality mp3 players I've ever seen,...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Flexible MP3 player meets all my needs

Thu, 12 Dec 2002 07:08:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author el_phantasmo - Most importantly it is flexible:

Uses any size CF type 2 compatible solid state memory up to 1GB.

Acts like USB mass storage device (no need for proprietary software to get mp3s onto the device).

Upgradeable firmware

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Very good value

Sun, 27 Oct 2002 17:30:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author carbon13 - NEX II uses Compact Flash cards as it's primary memory, a real boon to those digital camera owners who already own a few or want another use for the IBM microdrive. No CF is included, which is just as well since most electronics that include the...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Your next MP3 player, guaranteed!

Sat, 28 Sep 2002 06:24:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bsproles - As some may know, I'll be headed back to Singapore for a visit in December. As no one knows, my old Diamond Rio 300 MP3 player is very outdated, using a proprietary cable to transfer the songs to and from the player.

It was time to look for...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Pretty Good Player Overall

Thu, 12 Sep 2002 22:03:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marklyth - Dec 1, 2003 Update--- The battery door fell off, but overall the player is chugging along even though my fiancee drops it once a week ;-) Unfortunately Frontier Labs has not put out new firmware in over a year, no support for new formats, no support for...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Best player for the money

Thu, 5 Sep 2002 14:54:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author laserbeams - I'm solidly convinced that the NexII is the best player available for its price for what you get. It's not perfect, by most standards, but it does pretty much everything well, or better than average. Some more expensive packages will give you better...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Greatest MP3 Player I ever had! Better than what I've expected to have!

Thu, 15 Aug 2002 06:13:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author oceanbrze99 - I got my Nex II from eBay's mp3player.com. I think mp3player.com is in Canada. I believe they have a branch in the USA also. I'm in Canada and the player arrived in 2 or 3 days at my door step! I'm rather excited to receive the NEX II in the mail...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: NEX-II review

Tue, 16 Jul 2002 02:00:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pyroman2000 - I received the NEX-II player as a birthday gift just recently. The player was purchased from ebay from Choke Slam Media. They shipped fast and it came well packaged. It was purchased bundled with a 128 mb compact flash card, and the extra "nexkins"...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Excellent value - As an MP3 player, this can't be beaten

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 23:27:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ismith - I did a LOT of research before going for the NEX II. After using it for a few weeks, I am very happy with it.

I purchased over the web at mp3playerstore.com who have stores in Montreal and New York. Player was advertised at $89 US without CF...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: This player rocks

Mon, 6 May 2002 20:46:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moschops - I'm so glad I discovered this device because its the best value MP3/WMA player out there. Its packaged really well in terms of usability. I love that you can by it without any storage for under $100 and get your compact flash I or II or IBM microdrive...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Overall - Great!

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 13:48:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wite_russian - I had never owned an mp3 player before I bought the Nex II. I decided to buy it with the 256MB card so I could have a nice collection of songs. It holds about 50+ which is perfect for me right now. I can always buy more cards. Probably the best thing...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Highly recommended

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 19:43:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rwisem - For a couple of years I toyed with the idea of an MP3 player, but found them too impractical. 32 or even 64MB of storage is a joke - and the prices were outrageous.

I started looking again to see if things had improved and stumbled onto the...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Solid Performance. Not for wimps.

Thu, 21 Mar 2002 20:21:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jpmcdaniel - This review is based on version 1.4C, the latest firmware version available at the time. I’ll try to only provide opinions when appropriate. The majority of this review will be an objective description of my experiences using the player. I don’t own...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Excellent Buy!

Sat, 5 Jan 2002 22:22:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mrgavins - Great player!

The unit itself is very light, and is sturdily built. The buttons are placed along the side though, which makes it hard to pick the unit up without accidentally hitting a button. The buttons on my unit were a Stop button and a...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Doesn't do any one specific thing Outstanding, but does everything WELL!

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 03:05:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dr427 - I was very excited to get my Nex II after reading the reviews. I found the packing to be first rate and in a retail box! Software and instructions for upgrading very precise and easy to understand (v1.4c is now available as of 1/3/02). The supplied...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: A great MP3 player for any price!

Sat, 8 Dec 2001 16:27:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author babadi - I began researching MP3 players back in September. I wasn't looking to spend much money, but I wanted a small, affordable, expandable unit with good sound quality. I was not interested in a disk-based unit, because I planned to use my MP3 player on the...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Nice But Can Improve

Fri, 23 Nov 2001 05:28:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author supermin81726 - My review is going to be a bit different from past reviews posted here. In contrast to the positive review NEX II had received, I'm taking a more or less neutral position. Don't get me wrong, all the reviews had its merits. NEX II offers excellent...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Most Bang-For-The-Buck!!!!

Tue, 16 Oct 2001 07:06:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author geminihorse - After having gone through 4 very disappointing players -- RIO 800, Ipaq, Nomad, and MPMan -- along with a lot of $$ down the drain, finally a company by the name of Frontier Labs comes out with a player that put a smile on my face without wiping out my...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Great Compact Flash / MP3 Player

Tue, 25 Sep 2001 19:37:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tuaconaill - I bought my NEX II player a couple of weeks ago. It cost me $100 for the player and $15 to ship it to me. The package arrived 5 days later.

The first think I noticed is that the player is smaller than it looked in the pictures (it is hard to...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: Solid MP3 Player

Sun, 9 Sep 2001 00:16:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jbenante - I received my Nex II a few days ago and have already been using it extensively. I had read reviews criticizing the player as a "basic" player lacking "bells and whistles" such as an FM tuner and voice recording capability. In my opinion FM and voice...

Frontier NEX II MP3 Player: A GREAT Compactflash-Compatible MP3 Player!

Fri, 3 Aug 2001 15:12:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jomion - Many of the MP3 Players available on the market with expandable memory utilize SMARTMEDIA cards, MMC cards, or SONY'S Memory Stick. What if you already have a collection of Compact Flash cards that you use with your Digital Camera? The options...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author davidhu - I have been very impressed with my new NEX II. The machine is attractive, well-built and the perfect machine for the user who has a digital camera and already owns compact flash cards. No other machine comes close to matching the storage ability of the...
