Why buy an MP3 player if most smartphones already have music playback? For the sake of high-quality sound and compactness! Agree, it is difficult to use a smartphone while jogging or during outdoor activities. It is quite heavy and with sudden movements will constantly pull the headphones out of the ears. Another thing is a lightweight player that can be attached to clothes or put in a breast pocket. Among athletes, compact models from Texet are especially appreciated, so today we will focus on them.

About the manufacturer
Texet is a domestic manufacturer of phones, players, navigators, compact radios, wireless headsets, photo frames, tablets, e-books and smartphones. This brand belongs to the Russian company Alkotel Electronic Systems, whose main base is located in St. Petersburg.
Most products from this manufacturer belong to the budget or middle segment, so it is more affordable. The supplier of the company are Chinese brands such as Onda.
Main characteristics
Texet's portable MP3 player is not only affordable, but also a functional solution, as It has long autonomy, has high-quality sound, supports various audio formats and does not take up much space. When choosing a device for playing music, you must pay attention to the technical characteristics of the model. Here are the most basic ones:
Built-in memory
Texet produces low-cost flash devices, so the amount of internal memory varies from 500 to 8 GB. Also in each player there is the possibility of expanding the memory using an SD card. The average weight of a musical composition is about 5 MB, so even 2 GB will be enough to accommodate an impressive collection.
Interfaces
The player must have at least one connector for connecting to a PC. USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 are considered optimal, since they are suitable for any computer and quickly transmit information. Of course, USB 2.0 is preferable, because it is more advanced and faster.
Formats support
Techet players support most compressed music formats. There are only two types of formats - compressed and lossless. The first option is characterized by a small composition size, good sound quality and low processor load. Lossless formats are read only by professional models with a good DAC and amplifier.
Food
The player is powered using the built-in battery, which, in turn, is charged from a PC or a stationary network (if there is an adapter). Do not buy models with an unusual connector for charging, because if damaged, you will have to spend a lot of time looking for a new cable.
Body
The body of the player can be made of plastic or metal. The first option is less durable, but has a light weight. Metal models are better protected from external damage, but are heavier. The choice depends on the budget and scope. For sports, it is better to buy lightweight plastic models with clothespins, and for permanent use - metal ones.
Functions
Depending on the model, you may be offered various additional features. For example, a built-in equalizer for adjusting sound, radio, voice recorder, the ability to play pictures or videos, support for text files, etc. Functionality greatly affects the final cost of the device.
