Wrapped in grippy, protective rubber, the Cali 128 is built to play hard. Solid-state electronics carry over 30 songs with no skips - ever. Comfortable Sport Clip earphones, case... more...with armband, and integrated stopwatch with lap timer make the Cali a functional sport accessory. 5-Band Adjustable Equalizer gives more control over your sound than most players. Onboard FM tuner means you always have something to listen to. An empty expansion slot allows you to add up to 512MB of additional SD or MMC memory. Simple menus and intuitive controls make for easy one-handed operation.

Full review
I have enjoyed my MP3 player for a few years now. It has a simple, easy to use design. It does what it is meant to do without all the bells and whistles that come with the more popular MP3 devices on the market, but the price reflects this accordingly.

The player has built-in memory for about 20 songs, which are easily transferred from your computer onto the player using a cable that comes with it. It also has a slot for an SD card so you can expand the number of songs stored on your MP3 player at any time, which is one of the best features of this player. The player comes with FM stereo, which a useful option that gives you some variety. However, this option is best used when in a stationary place, as reception can be spotty when traveling.

The player comes with a metal clip (which I use quite often) and an arm band (which I have misplaced). The clip is very strong, so I'm not worried about it falling off while I am running with it, and the sound remains perfect despite rigorous movements. However, I do find that it bounces more than I would want. The design is very sturdy, so even if it falls, it remains well protected. I have never experienced any problems with it. It uses AAA batteries, and if I use cheap batteries, the player can drain them within an hour and half. If you use quality batteries, the player can last up to 18 hours. The only drawback is the model can be somewhat bulky.
