MP3 players in China

Taken from Shanghai Daily:
Consumer complaints about MP3 players have been rising as they have become more popular and cheaper. Consumers complain about poor batteries that run down easily, buttons that don’t work after a while, frequent shutdowns and poor after-sale service. [..]
Samples checked include major brands, such as Sanshui, Benq and Newman, as well as some smaller names.
“The quality of MP3s sold and produced in the city is not up to standard,” the bureau said in a statement.
This is why I bought an iPod. Even though it’s much more expensive, its quality is garanteed, and you won’t have to buy a new one every 3 months. I had one of those cheap MP3 players, they just don’t last long.
