Design
The Transcend T.sonic 840 is positioned above the T.sonic 820 player which was reviewed some time back. The T.sonic sports a different design than its predecessor. The exterior consists of a mirrored surface and metal body. The 840 is catchy-looking and has an iPod-ish appearance. Navigation is achieved by a 3-phase wheel on the side of the player -- which is somewhat similar to the Jog-dial on Sony Ericsson Smart-phones. The front face has no buttons. Why the space below the screen is unutilized, is a question to many. A great way to use that free space would have been to increase the screen length to occupy the whole front face, thus creating a wide-screen display of sorts for a better video viewing. Speaking of screen, it has a 1.8-inch color TFT-LCD with 176x220 pixels resolution.
To the right of the player, below its 3-phase wheel, rests the play/pause button, and finally a slider to activate the key-lock.
The built-in microphone rests on the top. On the left is the One-touch recording button to instantly activate recording. The recording button is followed by well-spaced Volume keys.
The mini-USB connector rests below the player and the 3.5mm headphone jack is placed next to it.
It feels sturdy due to its metal body but the metal does add heft to the player (it weighs about 70 grams). In comparison, the 840 is even heavier than the new iPod Nano. The weight was very noticeable when I'd tucked the player in my shirt pocket.

Awesome player buddies, first of all Moblie players cant macth the sound quality given by dedicated mp3 players, and TRanscend t.Sonic 840 is one of the master piece when it comes to Excellent Sound Quality and Beautifull Looks....i bought it today from "Heera Panna" i got 2gb for 2800 ruppee and 4 gb was available for 4 grands, Secondly, if it comes to music - its an excellent player but if you are looking for a video player then this player is not tht good , Opppsss!!!! Idiots dont forget to buy an Creative EP-630 or EP-635 Earphones......if you are a sounds freaky like me ;) Thanks Take Care

Can the playback speed be adjusted on the 840? If so, is the sound quality affected? We would like a device for playing dancing music.

Which is better tsonic 840 or tsonic 820? tsonic 840 has TFT LCD screen where as 820 has a OLED Screen, which will play video more better?

How good is the record function? Can it be used for interviews/ recording from a distance?
by somnath, Kolkata, on Nov 10, 2007 08:16 PM, Report abuse Reply
Amazing! I could get perfect clear clarity with a distance of about 2 meters, provided the sound source is clearly audible.

Can I record 5 minutes of audio in MP3 format in the player, which i should be able to transfer later? Please let me know
by Mohanty, Mumbai, on Nov 14, 2007 05:21 PM, Report abuse Reply
Hi, No you cannot record in Mp3 format, however you can record in .wav format and the clarity is amzaing, you could then tranfer this and convert it to mp3 if you want.
