Pros:

Compact size and form factor, Sharp look and feel, Longlasting rechargeable battery, Waterresistant (well, really more like splashresistant)

Cons:

Controls for track forward/reverse and volume up/down seem opposite of what they should be, Calling it "waterproof" is a bit of a stretch, Sound volume and quality are decent at best
