AGPTEKMP3 Player for Kids, Portable 8GB Music Player with Built-in Speaker, FM Radio, Voice Recorder, Expandable Up to 128GB, Rose Gold,K1

Super disappointed! I bought this for my son to help calm him down six months ago and the headphone port just stopped working. (yes I have tried multiple headphones and checked that they work) The speaker works still but he was using it on the hour bus ride to help keep him busy, so we really need the headphones!

This lasted about a year before the buttons stopped working.Prior to that, my 8-year-old really enjoyed it. The speaker quality is poor, but didn't bother her. She has ADHD and was never able to create her own playlists/choose songs, but she also didn't have the patience to learn. I imagine most 7/8 year olds would be able to, if they're motivated.We did get the protection plan, since I had a feeling she would need it. So, with the credit from the extra warranty, she's chosen to get another of the same. (I was leaning toward a Sandisk which lacks the games, but has a better warranty.)

We have a 14 year old special needs daughter who really loves music. We have had (and loved) the SweetPea children's MP3 players (we had each of the two generations and, because they were dropped often, had to open them multiple times to re-solder the speaker wires and battery wires). The SweetPea had a very nice, simple interface and a very adequate 2" speaker. We wanted to buy another one but, unfortunately, they are no longer available.We found this AGPTEK K1 Portable 8GB Children Music Player when we were searching for a kid's MP3 player with a built-in speaker. When we received it, it worked adequately and as we expected. The speaker is tiny and doesn't have very good sound quality but our daughter was happy. However, within a couple days, the speaker started breaking up and stopped working (as it would if there was an intermittent and bad connection to the speaker). When it stopped working, we found we could tap it on one of its sides and it would work again for a while. Unfortunately, however, it finally failed in a way that we couldn't get the speaker to work at all. The headphone jack worked OK, but our daughter will not keep any headphones on (plus we generally don't like kids using headphones to be in their "own world").So, we applied for a return and received a second one. Unfortunately (but not surprising), the new one failed just like the first one (this second one didn't work too good out of the box and only lasted a day). So, the second one is going back for a refund (not an exchange).It is really too bad -- we wanted it to work. We would really like for someone to begin producing the SweetPea again but don't hold out too much hope for that.Bottom line: If you want an MP3 player with a built-in speaker, look for something else.

My daughter loves it and uses it daily

If I could ask for one more thing, it would be a written letter or something to indicate to the adults in the crowd which button does what thing. Other than that, it is a fantastic player; speaker is loud enough without blasting music. It has a game, which I have no idea how to use so I cannot help her with that. Color ships without regard to order specs (wanted blue, got a pinky kind of color) but the color has no effect on the unit itself. When charging it, it sometimes turns on and BLASTS music (at midnight, in this case -- no one was happy) so try and charge it during awake hours. So, good purchase; solid unit. Big enough for little hands.
