Me either, but indeed it is true. The Insignia 4GB Video MP3 Player isn't the most creatively named of the bunch, but it's surprisingly impressive in a variety of ways. It's easy to use, it has a large screen, a plethora of features, it's very affordable at just $160, and remember: that's with built-in Bluetooth. The player is bulky for a Flash device, its audio and video quality could be better, and it doesn't include compatible Bluetooth headphones, but for first-timers and users who want tons of features for a budget price, the Insignia is a suitable option."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/32383166-2-300-overview-1.gif" /><br /><br />From the review, the sound quality is pretty lackluster unless you use Bluetooth headphones, which will set you back another $150. It is really weird that these are not bundled with some Bluetooth headphones, but perhaps they will be offered as a package in-store.
