X2 MEGA 522BT, Bluetooth-enabled audio player

mega 522 bt

Looks like the market for Bluetooth-enabled audio players is getting a little more crowded. It seems like only yesterday that we checked out the Omiz OMP313, a Bluetooth-enabled portable audio player that lets you take calls from your Bluetooth phone without switching units or popping off your earbuds. Actually, it was yesterday. And today, we're taking a look at X2's MEGA Player 522BT, a similar unit that, in addition to Bluetooth, offers built-in storage of up to 1GB, an SD card slot and the usual OLED display, voice recorder and FM radio that every new player seems to have (can't we see one with an AM radio for once?). While we'll have to question X2's claim that this is the "first Bluetooth-enabled digital audio player," (because we know it's not true), we'll give them points for at least making it available in the U.S. (at prices starting at $199 for a 512MB version), unlike the Omiz, which, for now at least, is Greater China only.
