Tags: Baylis, Baylis Eco Media Player EP-MX71, OGG, presets, camping
We like:
Eco-friendliness; general functionality; usefulness; no batteries required; doubles up as a portable phone charger
We don't like:
Price; no belt clip; line-in socket should be 3.5mm; torch is utterly pointless on an MP3 player; included earphones are abysmal
You might also need:
Better earphones; dreadlocks
CNET UK judgement:
An extremely niche product and as a result of its high price, probably only one for campers, travellers, the seriously pro-green or anyone desiring music when they can't guarantee mains power exists. Costly, but too cute to dislike
