5 Reviews for Aigo F529 - 1GB MP3 player & Omnisphere Speaker system
Good but not THAT great - 17 Nov 2007
0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
I would have never thought that finding an MP3 player with memory/speakers integrated would be so hard. In fact, it looks like AIGO were the only ones to think about it. Personally, I didn't buy it because it looked cool but because I wanted to listen to my MP3 music.
For that reason, I'll have to be less enthusiastic about the F529 then the other customers. The F529 is a nice little gadget, that's true but the lack of control bothers me: there is no screen, no way to set up a playlist, no remote-control, no equalizer. This MP3 player could have been great. It's just good.I wish AIGO had spent a little less time on the colour lights and a little more on practical details.
Brilliant! - 01 Oct 2007

I was lucky enough to buy one of these 1GB models for under £20 from another supplier. However, I can highly recommend it. In fact, I think it's truly amazing for its size. Everyone who has seen and heard it have wanted one. Most people who hear it from another room believe it is a proper stereo system. Buy one and you won't be disappointed!!
GREAT GADGET - 21 Sep 2007

THIS RECIEVED VERY GOOD REVIEWS IN MAGS AND OVER THE NET SO I BOUGHT IT.
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FOR OVER A WEEK NOW AND AM VERY IMPRESSED. ITS A SLEEK LOVELY LOOKING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND IT PERFORMS REALLY WELL TO BOOT.
AT THE MOMENT I HAVE THE AUX PLUGGED AND USING IT AS THE SPEAKER EYSTEM FOR MY PC, IT SOUNDS THAT GOOD!
i RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
A cracking MP3 player - and good looking too! - 12 Dec 2006

The Aigo Omnisphere is a fantastic gadget - and practical too. You can download your own MP3 files onto its 1Gb memory, plug in another MP3 player or put in an SD card. The sound quality is amazing for such a small device and far better than any of the external portable speakers. One of the best things about it is how contemporary it looks with its cone shape and changing colour light on top. Everyone I have showed it to wants to buy one. Mine is black, but it also available in white (from Amazon). The price for the 1Gb has dropped to the same as the 512Mb version, so you'd be mad not to go for the bigger memory. The only slight drawback is finding tracks quickly, but I suppose it's most likely to be placed in a bedroom or kitchen so perhaps that won't be too much of an issue. Overall, a great buy and a very different twist on an MP3 player.
Space age design and good sound quality for the money - 10 Dec 2006

I've just got one of these rather strange devices, and I must say, I'm rather pleased with it. It's stylishly packaged so would make a good present, and the build quality of the unit feels solid. This is not a flimsy item at all. It's very straightforward to operate straight out of the box with no real need to read the instructions unless you really want to.
If you want to use the MP3/WMA player onboard, then simply connect to your PC, wait for Windows to go through its 'found new hardware' routine, and then the Omnisphere shows up as a drive on your computer. Drag and drop music onto the drive and that's it! Be aware that you can't play copy-protected tracks which use the DRM9 or 10 security system, so that means Napster downloads and the like are out. Sound quality is surprisingly good. The unit goes very loud with little distortion (to my untrained ear at least), and the sound is well-balanced overall. Just as well really, because if you don't like it, there's nothing you can do about it. There is no equaliser to adjust the sound.
In fact, controls in general are quite limited. The unit is controlled by pushing the clear perspex at the top of the unit either North, South, East or West depending on what you want to do. Basically, you can turn the unit on or off, change the volume, adjust the way the light display works, decide whether you want the tracks in order or shuffled, and skip through the tracks. Like the ipod shuffle, there is no screen, no way to set up playlists etc, so if this is important to you, look elsewhere, or, use the omnisphere as a speaker system for your separate MP3 player! When you use the omnisphere as speakers for another device, you can't change the volume using the omnisphere's controls, you have to use those of the device in question.
In fact, it's quite nice to have a speaker system with some inbuilt storage, so when you can't be bothered to get out your player, or if you need to recharge, you've still got some music. Or, you could just use that 1GB for storage of other data you don't want to lose. One other nice little touch is that there is an SD card slot, so you 1GB isn't enough storage for your music, you can add more on SD cards (supports up to 2GB), and these are really quite cheap these days. When connected to your pc via the supplied USB cable, you can use the Omnisphere as a card reader too.
Finally, the light show on the top looks quite mesmerising. I prefer it in the relaxed mode where it moves slowly through cool blue shades. If you want something a bit more lively, then you can have a really fast moving and colourful display in time to the music.
So, would I recommend buying this rather unusual item. Well, I think I probably would. It looks cool, modern and minimalist, it sounds great, and it's surprisingly versatile. If it had more onboard storage, more control over how you play your music (playlists etc), support for DRM and perhaps a DAB radio, then it would be a must-buy. How about an omnisphere mark 2, with these things included? I'd buy one!
