Tekeet Sport MP3

The Tekeet Sport MP3 can be classed as a concept-player, and more particularly in the class of players cast in the image of the Sony NWZ-W202. A player for sporty music lovers!

Hard plastic, flexible plastic but plastic all the same

Entirely made of plastic and rubber, the Sport MP3 doesn't look all that great, but with a nice finish, avoids giving a low-end feel.
The controls are situated as you'd expect, near the headphones. Although the logos are raised up, they are difficult to locate by feel, but you do quickly get used to where each control is.

At the back of the headphones, an LED allows you to monitor battery life, which is a little on the light side. A last point: the load/connection computer connection is a standard mini-USB.

Surprising headphones

The Sport MP3 doesn't have built-in in-ear phones like the Sony, but it isn't a standard round the neck set either. They seem to be based on standard button phones covered in a rubber sheath. This isn't the most comfortable option, but it does mean you avoid a lot of the sweating problems you might get in a heavy work-out.

The sound does suffer however, with the bass a bit distant and the sound a bit scatty overall, though you do find a lot worse out there. In contrast to the W202, you do however get some exterior noise, which is useful in an urban sport environment.

The Sport MP3 isn't a match for the Sony W series but is quite promising for the future. We'll be keeping an eye on future developments of a product that looks as if it might become a good alternative for the sporty among you.
