When we reviewed the TEAC MP-200 and the TEAC MP-8000 players, we thought that these two devices could cover almost all the demands of a user that needed mobile file playability. We were wrong. The MP-400 is a small sized media solution that offers video and music playback, Line-in/Voice recording and an FM Radio tuner.

Our experience with the TEAC MP-400 left us only with good impressions. What drew our attention was the size of this player and its weight. Only 40g and so small that it can easily be lost in any pocket :-) Battery life was simply excellent, and build quality was very good, not only the player but also for the earphones and charger. Certainly, this is not the best video player that you can find and this is because the screen is so small that it becomes difficult to watch a movie. However, small clips are always welcome.

Although we tested the 512MB MP-400 player, there is another version that provides 1GB of storage capacity. It comes in two colors, black and red.

Navigating through the menus was very easy and even novice users will not have a problem with this player. What we enjoyed the most was storing music video clips and using the device as a "music video clip" player. Not only can you hear your favorite music, but also see the video clips from your favorite songs. An overall, very good player and if 512MB or 1GB storage is enough for your multimedia needs, then we highly recommend giving the TEAC MP-400 a try!
