Hip Street HS-3245 4GB Media Player

Hip Street HS-3245 4GB Media Player

Rohan Naravane, Mar 06, 2008 1822 hrs IST

This player tries to make its place in the league of champions like the iPod and the Zen

Big screen, decent video output, extras like a loudspeaker and microSD card slot, AC adapter provided in the package

Average sound quality, stylus too short, expensive (considering there's nothing in it to be awed about)

Media players (particularly the non-PMP ones) have been giving priority to video playback, providing bigger, higher-resolution screens, and support for new-generation video formats. Canadian manufacturer Hip Street makes audio accessories and media players with quality and affordability as their strong points. Today, in our labs, we have their high-ranking MP4 player, the HS-3245. This player tries to make its place in a league currently reigned over by champions like the iPod nano and the Creative Zen, by pulling a special trick or two of its own. Does it stand a chance?


The Bundle

-- Hip Street HS-3245 4GB media player
-- Stock earphones
-- miniUSB data cable
-- miniUSB power adapter
-- Software CD
-- Lanyard
-- Instruction manual



The miniUSB power adapter is a good addition to the bundle; it'll help you juice up the player when you don't have access to a computer.

stand alone MP3,MP4,digital cameras are slowly becoming a thing of the past because of the developments in the mobile phones sector so why waste time on reviewing such products?
