Stick this in your ear! It’s the smallest MP3 Player I’ve ever seen. Or heard!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010, Netcast 999

We've seen some very mini MP3 players in our time. Take a look at the iPod Shuffle and the tiny MobyBlu. (I think MobyBlu has given up the MP3 market.) But so far I’ve seen nothing is as small as the Micro Sport MP3 Player. It’s imported from Japan by the folks at Think Geek. Somehow the folks overseas have crammed 4GB of memory, a rechargeable battery and a couple of tiny buttons into an MP3 player about the size of two sugar cubes. Amazingly this tiny player features full stereo sound. One ear bud is attached directly to the main unit along with the controls. You can wear that unit by itself if you want just mono music. For full stereo sound there’s another ear bud with a cord that plugs into the main unit and drapes around the back of your head. Viola! You have full stereo in a tiny package. Loading music is easy. Plug the Micro Sport into a USB port on your computer and it shows up as a USB thumb drive. Simply drag any MP3 files you want to take on the road into the Micro Sport. Now not only is this MP3 tiny, so are the controls. It takes some getting used to – to find the buttons while you’re wearing it. And since the Micro Sport Japanese MP3 Player is imported from Japan it means that the directions are all in Japanese. But unlike my Japanese Traffic Light Alarm Clock website which offered no help for me, ThinkGeek does help folks who buy this device. There’s a mini-English use manual on their website. The Micro Sport’s built in rechargeable Li battery charges via USB. No drivers are required and it works with any OS. Sound is really decent although you’ll need the foam pads for the earbuds. But they’re included. $79.99
