toptechreviews's Full Review: RCA RD1000 Kazoo (32 MB) MP3 Player
Attention runners. If you are looking for the perfect way to bring your music with you on the run, then this is your ticket. This model left out all the bells and whistles and just put the absolute bare necessities. It also features a simple EQ to have different sound settings. I love to run and workout, but I never had a compact and affordable way to bring some music with me on the way. That’s what I love about this product. It conveniently comes with a belt attachment or a strap to harness the device to your arm or wrist. I find it more comfortable to strap it to my upper arm while I am running because my wrist is moving too fast and the Kazoo wobbles back and forth. The plastic case that this package comes with also gives you a little protection against rain and sweat. So do not panic if you are jogging and get caught in the rain cause I have been caught on several occasions and the case provides ample protection.

The USB cable allows for fast transfers and being that most every computer on the universe has USB, you should not have any problems there. Musicmatch is the software supported with this package, which is a totally different review. I love everything about musicmatch.

I am also very happy with the sound quality. Even when I play some of my techno music with heavier bass I can easily switch the EQ setting to “classic” or even “jazz” which will knock out most of the base.

Let’s talk headphones. This is what surprised me about my player. I thought I was going to have to go out after spending 59 dollars and buy an additional set of quality headphones. Little did I know that RCA already new that I hated the over-the-head design so they included a pair of behind-the-neck headphones. This is great because I do not have to worry about the phones “bopping” up and down on my head. They fit very comfortably behind my ears and kind of lock in place.

Although you could complain about not having all the advanced features like song titles or a better way to navigate through your songs, this makes for a great affordable addition to your workout or jogging routine. I mean, who worries about their player when they are concentrating on working their muscles.

One thing you need to prepare for before you buy this or any other mp3 listening device is BATTERIES BATTERIES BATTERIES. Besides if you do not have batteries, you do not have any music. Right? So if you use your Kazoo as much as I do, get ready to stock up. And I would also recommend that you buy a memory upgrade.

Good Luck
