Expert Review
Transcend has impressed us before with its good quality mp3 players that are more economically viable compared to its competitors. T.sonic 630 is nothing less. The T.sonic 630 series of MP3 players is available in three high capacity colorful models, 1GB (Orchid), 2GB (White), and 4GB (Black). We had the opportunity to review the 2GB (White) Version, so here goes.
T.sonic 630 is, remarkably, a very versatile MP3 Player that not only plays the usual MP3, WMA, and recorded WAV music files but also WMA-DRM10 (subscription music). Besides this, it has many impressive extra features, which we shall discuss later.
The first thing that impressed me was the look of the player. Smooth finish and good build quality was written all over it. And then I saw the display. Now according to Transcend, its white text (4-Line) OLED Display is easily viewed from any angle and in any light, so we decided to check it out. You can read the display in clear sunlight, which many players fail to accomplish. Besides that ability to be read easily, it's also very detailed and hence it's one of the best OLED Displays that we've seen yet.
Navigation is quite simple and hence very user-friendly.
Measuring only 73 mm x 33 mm x 12.5 mm and weighing a mere 30g (with Li-ion battery), the T.sonic 630 easily slips into your pocket, or bag or for people like me, it's quite light around your neck.
hi. i bought a 4gb transcend pen drive 2months back and now intermittently it stops working. whenever i try coping or deleting data frm it, i get a message, the drive is write protected. i have to unplug & plug it back it and format it and it works for a while but the same problem again. plz let me know where i can replace the same in pune.
I need to know how to record using the external mic. I tried the mic which I use in my comp but it did not work. Just records dead air. I have changed the recording option to Ext. Mic in T sonic 630.
Hi can any one suggest me what is the problem.my player is showing Transcend when i switched on.but it is not booting or not giving any message.it displays transcend thats all other than that it is not showing anything.
Problems and solutions
1. Device switching off automaticaly or immediatly after turned on
2. Shows no files on the device but on computer
3. tracks unable to play
4. sudden change in display and language.
Solution: update the firmware or reinstal the firmware from transcend website.
1. Device not detected
Solution: check your OS driver and install suitable drivers.
1. also check your OS for updated drivers. if you are using transcend on win9X or ME you need to download special drivers.
3. Check your USB port. Try connecting the device to a different USB port or other computer. If problem still persists, contact service center.
Hi, I'm having T.Sonic 650 4GB which is facing the problem of recharging by both the normal & PC USB charging. Cld you let me know who will be able to fix this in mumbai asap.
Can anyone please suggest, which one will be better among these two : Transcend T sonic 630 and Creative MuVo T-200 ?
I am in very much dilemma after reading so much "request of service centers" for T Sonic 630 !
Also, which is better, T Sonic 630 or 650 ?
Also, as far as I came to know, the Cons. of T-Sonic 630 : 1) Bundled Earphone not good 2) File Transfer rate is slow 3) Minimum sound is bit high & maximum one is bit low (not suitable for crowded area) & also distorted.4) Virus prone 5) UI is bit unintuitive AND for MuVo T-200, Cons : 1) Battery lasts only 3-4 hrs against claimed of 9 hrs. 2) Limited file format support 3) Odd Fm scan 4) Unintuitive menu.
Are all these observations correct ? Can I use AC-USB charger for these two safely ? Is Multitasking supported ? Can I use Creative EP-630 with these two ? What are the present street price of i) T-Sonic 630 ii) MuVo t200 iii) EP-630 ?
So many Q's ! but please do advice :)
Hi I live in Chennai. I have been using TSonic 610 -2GB for the past 3 months. It gets charged with the USB port. recently Its getting swithed off within seconds after swithing on. When connected to computer (with power drawn from computer through USB it works well )Could this be battery problem. Where can i get this player serviced/ battery replaced in chennai?
Pls advice.
Hi, I am also facing the same problem.. pls let me know whether you were able to replace or repair it. If so, pls provide me the details.. Awating for ur reply.. Regards, Ashik
Dont Worry rajan, its because the PC you connected the MP3 PLAYER contains a virus named 'fijacks'. try to get rid of the virus and update the firmware by utilising the CD you got along with the player. If still problem pertains then contact the service centre:
T.R.Computers ph:04442168988 or contact me mail id:arunprasadm7@yahoo.com
Hi! I too am facing exactly the same problem, my battery atleast shows up as fully charged, but the player still switches off very soon after being started.
this is not the battery problem, just connect ur mp3 player to USB or charger, it will switch on automatically then manually swtichoff the mp3player by pressing left side button. Remove the mp3player from charging and then again switch on manually. It will start working normally.
It is very simple to flash this player. Just visit the Transcend website and you will get all the guidance you require. Once you reflash, your virus will be gone.

Hi,can anyone plz tell me where is the service centre of Transcend in Pune.I have got trouble in my 4 gb pen drive.
Is able to be detected in the system.Plz help me.
I have t.sonic 2GB MP3 player which is not working fine.I purchased it in HYD but now as i m in PUNE,i want address of service centers for T.Sonic in pune.pl
tell me ASAP.
T.sonic 630 is far better performance than 610 including sound quality. Battery life and stereo effects r amazing! Only bad thing is the bundled earphone, the same is provided for all transcend models i think so. I hav replaced it with creative EP480(32ohms) a good matching and it really rocks!(Rs 175 from sp road though the price noted is Rs 950 on net.) All the problems are coming onl becuase of 1 reason...not removing the hardware safely... and initialising problem came only when trying to charge with adpater and not with USB....
It should be available everywhere in sp road. I got it from an electronics shop. Ep480 is a particular type of earphone with abt 1.2m lengthy chord better for fm reception and neodymium magnet powered 32 ohms driver perfectly matching with t.sonic 630.Excellent overall frequency response for deeper bass and trebles.so go for it!

I am having TRANSCEND sonic 2 GB mp3 player. Immediatly after switching on the player it gets off in few mts. I am not having bill to claim warrenty. already i gave the peace for repair twice. But still facing the same issue.. can any 1 suggest me a trusted dealer in chennai for service ? is it possible to install firmware into the player from the provided cd on our own instead of giving to dealer ( this may solve my problem I think !!)? please help me ....
yes. no need to give the player to the dealer for installing firmware. download latest firmware from transcend site. after installing it, u'll find a readme file, which contains the directions to install the firmware.
sir i got my t.sonic 820 mp3 playerin chennai. very next day when i open the player it shows a big exclamation mark of empty charge. battery gone .so help me to change my li-on battery to change......srinivasan.
Hi,
You can update the firmware with the help of that CD... I had a problem like that long back. One more reason is there might be no charge in the palyer.. Connect it to the comp for 2 Hrs and then try.. If you still face problem then contact: T.R. Computers
Ph: 04442168988
hello ppl im abt to buy an mp3 plr..i thought its better to have both player as well as pen drive in the same..so which one is gud for around 2 to 4 gb in transcend..?
Dont use ur mp3 player as pendrive,my advice. definetely viruses will be controlling ur mp3 player also.Go for t.sonic 630 2gb/4gb with bill and warranty.
Anyone who is going to buy i pods plz attention.jst look at t.sonic 630 and 610s.they offer better sound quality along with a bundle of features@lowcost. ipods only hav brand name. get away from ipod fascination.
hai.yesherday bought t.sonic 630 2gb form sp road for rs.2300+4%vat. really impressed with the performance and ther is a 2yrs replacement warranty. i strongly recommend this cuty.
From micro port it zone, s.p road right side corner. i havn't any problem for 1 months using, so get it from trusted dealers only.ther may be faulty as wel as duplicates.2gb 610 also pretty well.
i have 2GB mp3 player. when i am charging it fallen down from next day onwards i am able to display the screen but audible is working fine.I think i have to change the screen,so i want to know where this servicing will be available in chennai.

hi my t-sonic 630 has some problems connecting to my computer. the computer recognizes the device but i am unable to read from it. is this a problem with my computer or the player?
sure you can see the songlist.....MP3 >> Function >> Press enter (make sure the player is in MP3 mode)
You can see the song list and folders name here...
Good choice. Feel the Music but be careful while connecting it in PC because virus affected PC will corrupt the driver files necessary for the player. keep the firmware safe in this case.
Hi.. I bought T.sonic 630 1GB MP3 player in Chennai 3 days ago. While listening to songs the volume automatically got decreased and the MP3 player got powered off.

I have purchased one Creative ZEN V Plus MP3 player during my trip to Finland last month. Now, it has following problems:
a) Once switch on it get struck at a particular song. at this level entire player become inoperative.
b) Charging through computer is also not effective.
Question: Is there any authorised service centre in Chennai ?
Recently Owned this T.Sonic 630 2 GB. Excellent value for money. For better sound quality use headphones of aiwa/sony/ipod. Transcend headphones produces average quality sound. Best for High Quality Recording from mic/line-in/FM. Very easy navigation.
My transcend MP3 player 1 GB is having problem. I lost the bill ( for warranty) I would like to repair in Chennai . Any authorised agent / service center in chennai
Hi Vijay. The sifymall ppl are silent on their website regarding warranty. I called their tollfree line and got the info that it only carries a 3 month warranty.
In Andheri we have a shopping complex called Nadco very close to the station in the West. There in the complex are a couple of shops specialising in these items. In fact I had been there the other day for buying a pen drive, when I spotted this model of Transcend in the showcase.
Can any holy soul tell me where to get this piece, along with bill, in Bangalore? Plz dont quote any gray market rates..as I am not going to b8uy from them....kindly put down the dealer names if possible along with place... thanks a lot.
I've heard that some MP3 players come with line in socket for audio recording as well as with normal usb socket.This is for recording from tape or other audio source.The player automtically converts the wave form of input recording into MP3 format.Any information about this sich as make,model,battery life,perfprmance etc etc and ofcourse price and availiblity?THANKS.
hi Sunil,
iAudio players like the U2 and G3 models have the line-in function. you can record in either WAV or MP3 formats from a tape or a cd player. G3 offers a battery life of 50hrs on a AA alkaline battery and U2 offers 20hrs with an inbuilt lithium battery. Besides that a host of other featuers..check it out on the website cowonglobal.com
Where can I get a 2GB version in Pune?
Whats the price for the 4 GB version? I did seached for it(4 GB version) in ebay but nobody seems to sell it in India.
