G02 8GB Clip MP3 Player with FM Shuffle & Sweatproof Silicone Case | Screen-Free Portable Music Player, No Bluetooth, Simple for Sports, Running & Walking

EDIT: 2 years of every other day running year-round, and it is still going strong and still holds a charge. Unfortunately 2 years of sweat dripping into the headphone jack has corroded the contacts, so I have to twist the headphone plug a few times to get stereo. You may not have this problem if you don't sweat as much as me! I just bought another of the same item to replace it. I've also noticed an issue that may be responsible for some other complaints about battery life: When you charge the device and then unplug it from the charger, it is left in the ON setting. If you put it away in a drawer without remembering to switch it OFF, it will drain the battery (no auto-shutoff). --- I am a 57 year old music lover and trail runner. My third iPod shuffle bit the dust and since they're discontinued I decided to try the Agptek G02. I wanted something tiny and easy to control without having to read an LCD display. Reliability: The iPod shuffle was made of metal and you could probably run over it with a car without breaking it, while the Agptek is plastic. Nonetheless it seems to be well made and has given me no issues in 1-1/2 months of use trail running in hot weather. The silicon skin is a great idea and seems to be effective at keeping sweat out of the unit, so I'm hoping it will last longer than my assorted iPod shuffles. Sound quality: I'm very picky about sound quality, and have been assessing headphones and speakers for decades. My reference headphones are Sennheiser HD-600, which are high impedance phones not suited to portable devices. However using my usual running headphones (discontinued Sony MDR-A34) the Agptek G02 sounds at least as good as the iPod shuffle so I'm happy. Usability: Here the Agptek easily bests the iPod. Sure you might change the volume setting while clipping it onto your clothes, but it was almost impossible to clip the iPod shuffle on without skipping one or more tracks. Compared to the iPod, the Agptek is much easier to adjust volume and skip tracks while running thanks to the larger control surface. With the iPod I would often accidentally skip tracks while trying to change the volume or vice versa. It's also easier to see it is on thanks to the LED light. It lacks the iPod's voiceover feature, but I almost never used that anyway. Also be warned that with the Agptek in random/shuffle mode, you can not replay tracks by skipping back as you could with the iPod. Battery life: I haven't done a direct comparison (since all my iPod shuffles are dead now) but I would expect the Agptek to have poorer battery life due to the always-on LED. Nonetheless it lasted a month on the first charge, for roughly 10-15 hours of use. EDIT: it lasted at least 20 hours on the second charge! Capacity: 8GB for the Agptek G02 (not expandable) vs 2GB for the iPod shuffle (also not expandable). Big improvement! Radio: I haven't tried this feature. Price: less than half the price of the iPod shuffle though to be fair the shuffle came with ear buds. Considering the usability improvement and added capacity the Agptek is a bargain.

Revised AGAIN 2/8/22 Replacement for #5 died after less than 45 minutes of use. Garbage. Revised 2/3/22 REVISING MY REVIEW-WAY LOWER. In the last YEAR I have had to buy FIVE OF THESE THINGS. The longest serving one lasted about 4 months. The shortest was about 4 days. These things work well while they work, but 110% will absolutely stop working abruptly. These things are positively horrendously manufactured. No QC whatsoever. That being said, if you don't mind having to return one every month, go for it. Here is how all of mind abruptly died: #1: 3/11/21 -5/5/21: Flat stopped working. #2: 5/18/21 - 11/7/21: LOUD Feedback, then abruptly stopped working #3: 11/14/21 - 12/21/21: Charging port MELTED #4: 12/22/21 - 1/22/22: MELTED again #5: 1/27/22 - 2/3/22: LOUD feedback, then abruptly stopped working. I will never order one of these again after I get the replacement for the most recent one. ___________________________________________ Overall, this thing is pretty damn good for 20-something bucks. I would give it 5 stars, but there are just two quirks that drive me crazy. Cons: -Repeats songs (With 500+ songs, I heard the same song 3 times in 30 minutes on Sunday) -Lag between songs is 2-3 seconds. Doesn't seem like much, but when you're exhausted and need that beat to keep pushing, a lag (and thus hearing your own breath for a second) can take some air out of the sails -Like others have said, make sure you turn it off. There is no auto-off of on/off switch (you hold play button to turn on/off), so you have to remember to turn it off. Pros: -Easy as heck to load -Excellent battery life -Good volume and controls -Great replacement for an iPod shuffle, especially given that used shuffles are going for 80+ on Ebay

I used my tiny iPod shuffle for many years until it finally just stopped taking a charge and quit working. After that I wanted something small, light and simple to use so I bought this AGPTEK G02 8GB Clip MP3 Player to use while mountain biking and working out. It's small, very light, very durable and very simple to use. It comes with a robust clip that works with pretty much any type of workout clothing and is so light that it is not noticeable when wearing. It works with any mini-jack headphone/earbuds and is not bluetooth which is what I wanted. I find bluetooth earbuds combined with a small player like this are just too many things to charge and keep track of for mountain biking; if a bud falls out or the player comes loose, the jack and wire keep it all together. This is the second AGPTEK G02 8GB Clip MP3 player I've purchased because I destroyed the first one by riding in heavy rain without the included silicone waterproof case which was my fault, not the fault of the player. Now I take the waterproof case with me if it looks like rain.

Have had this for about a year. Works good, holds charge well. It isn't the most durable though, I dropped it from like 6 feet onto concrete and the side buttons popped out. Still works , can toggle the switches underneath the buttons and works fine. I'm not sure what people are talking about in the other reviews... That the mp3 player is so fragile, they had to buy it 5 times after it broke over and over to make sure its a bad product?.... lol, what's the saying fool me once? fool me twice? not 5 times though lol, sounds like user error. Someone else smeared it with sunscreen and is wondering why it ruined the plastic.

I was a shuffle user for years when running. I was burning through them every few months and Best Buy was replacing them with the $10 warranty I purchased but then they decided to stop giving excellent customer service and make this my problem that had to be resolved with Apple directly so I ended up ultimately finding a company through Amazon that waterproofs Shuffles and sells them for a few hundred $$. I ran with one of those for a few years and it was awesome - until it quit working... Same company still does that but surely there are alternatives to that type of $$. I found this and ordered it. If you are a Windows user, you can take a playlist in iTunes, highlight and copy, then paste to a folder on your PC - it will copy the songs on the list into that folder and then you can drag drop onto this player. Controls are different than a shuffle but you quickly get used to everything - it's volume up/down, pause, next/previous track - all the same as the shuffle just different positions. The FF through music does not work for me but I can live with that. When this breaks I will buy another one for $20. Great for running - good volume. Battery lasts quite a while.

I purchased the G02 8Mb mp3 player in July 2025. I was able to load 7 files initially. Some months later the player was not recognized by my PC (Windows 10). It did not appear in the file manager. I tried a few days later and was able to download more files from the same PC. Since October, the player is not recognized again. I tried a different usb port, different cable, 2 different laptops. None of them recognized the Mp3 player. The player does not show in the device manager. The player was fully charged at the time. It is fantastic otherwise. I like the compact size, the clip, no Bluetooth, USB C charge port, the SIMPLICITY. I don't like the flashing red/blue led lights that flash when files are playing (alternating blue and red in shuffle mode, flashing blue in repeat mode). I have never used the FM radio function. If I could find a way to get more files loaded it would be the ideal player. Others have noted that it stops being recognized for file transfers after a while. If I can get it working again, I will have all the files i want to add ready to load at one time in case it fails again. I reached out to Agptek support via email weeks ago. Still haven't hear from them even after submitting my requested order info. The support phone mail is full and can't accept contact info. Still waiting for help. 3/4/26 The seller did promptly send a replacement mp3 player. I assume it works just fine. I will not try to use it until after i have ALL my files converted, sorted, and ready to load onto the player.

UPDATE: I fixed the song formats to all fit within the supported ones, and it now works properly. Big tip I discovered: do not switch it to shuffle without turning the whole thing off first. I'm using it without shuffle at all, just to ensure it doesn't screw up. So far so good, and it's lasting a complete hike which is about 6 hours. I haven't tested it beyond that. Now I'm perfectly happy, and moving the star rating to 5. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After I finally figured out how to turn it on and off - the lights give no clue, and I ended up having to review the user manual a few times - I was very happy with how the player just clicked onto my shirt. The buttons are also good because they are clickable rather than a screen, and can be clicked without taking the player off. I also had no problem loading all my music. HOWEVER... the darned thing only plays about 20% of the music I put on it, no matter if it's in shuffle or standard mode! I hike, and am currently doing 5-6 hours at a time. The battery holds up, but there's only so much of the same 40 songs I can listen to repeatedly without groaning. It makes the whole thing pretty useless. I don't have a problem with the sound quality. While it's not that of noise canceling headphones, it's clear and the volume control is fine too. I'm hiking rather than working out, so I can't speak to any of those other aspects. I'm pretty disappointed because of the limited music it self-selects.

UPDATE: Obviously, I try to be optimistic about cheap items. I work in customer service and you pay for what you get. I don’t like to bitch & whine. But this MP3 Player is literal T R A S H lol. I bought this a week ago... it already stopped working. Won’t even charge. I charge it all night, triple check that it’s off, put it in my purse for work and it’s dead. The shuffle option did the same thing, plays the same songs. I find myself hitting skip 20 times in a row to TRY and get different music. (8 hours of the same few songs is not the business. But my coworkers are annoying so it’s better than them I guess lmao) I’m hoping they’ll let me return it. If it actually stayed charged I’d let my 5 year old have it for our drives to school and stuff but it literally has NO use anymore. Definitely do NOT recommend. For $20 it’s honestly a good deal all things considered. You’ve gotta understand for the price you’re not getting top of the line. I listen to music at work, a full 8 hr shift. It lasts the whole time. The reviews mentioning it only playing the same songs is true.. I was really hoping it wasn’t. BUT, the shuffle option fixes this. I have approximately 200 songs on this tiny thing and it still has room! So the capacity is pretty decent. Downloading music is a breeeeeze. If you search YouTube mp3 converter on google, you can put the YouTube link of the song in and download it to your computer. Then just drag the downloaded file and hover it over the connected device. If anything changes I’ll be sure to update this review.

Muy bueno y práctico 👍🏻👍🏻

Wanted a alternative to ipod shuffle for running. It's a good option. Pro- 1. Simple to use 2. Does the job - don't know how long it will last. But even if it runs a year at 2.5k it's worth it. 3. Audio quality is as good or better than the ipod (which is maybe 15 yrs old) Cons 1. 2 times as big as the ipod shuffle. 2. Not as durable or watertight as the ipod shuffle. 3. Cannot choose folders. Plays songs in shuffle mode or as added on the device. Can go for it if you find around 2.5k.

Me encanto, para una playlist esta perfecto, ya llevo 3-4 meses con el y me ha servido de maravilla, tiene sus detalles pero aprendes a quererlo. Se prende al mantener apretado e boton de reproduccion y para apagarlo tienes que mantener apretado tambien el boton de reproduccion. Casi no he usado la opcion de radio ni la de random, la verdad ni me interesa usarlas, es muy comodo para una playlist de canciones que tengas, para los que no tengan con que descargar archivos en mp3 les recomiendo mucho ytdlp en linea de comandos.

Very bad product.

I needed an MP3 player for my dad who's not very good with electronics, it has large buttons and is generally easy to use, perfect for his needs. Everyone was really impressed how well this worked, it also feels like a sturdy little device. One weird quirk with the device is that it plays tracks in the order they are copied, which is really strange, so you can't just drag and drop an album, you really need to drag and drop each song in order, which is not a great user experience. Other than that, really can't complain.
