Check out the Mechen M3 here: amazon.com/MECHEN-Bluetooth-Screen%EF%BC%8CPortable-Speaker%EF%BC%8CFM-Recording/dp/B0CRB6YYB1
And Mechen's Site here: https://mechen.com.cn/productinfo/1168806.html
The two Mechen MP3 players I've reviewed in the past have been solid values especially considering their low end price but above average feature-set so when they offered to send their even more budget M3 for review I was honestly interested in how it would compare with the higher end offering I already loved. So the M3 seems to be positioned as an iPod Nano substitute in terms of features and aesthetics, but not price! Let's see what under $40 gets you and whether it deserves a permanent place in my daily lineup of portable audio devices!
