Thread: A pacer's new Audio Steno AU581

An MP3 player with chic metallic look

Apacer Technology has launched its new MP3 player, called the Audio Steno AU581 MP3 player that delivers music and fashion into one device.

The latest player comes in a unique dual color mirror coating and streamlined design that blends luxury and fashion and also provides a glimmering chic metallic outlook.

The AU581 is more of your ‘No Frills’ MP3 player, but that isn’t always a bad thing, less things to go wrong and easier to use. We take a close look at Apacer’s latest audio player.

The AU581 that we’re looking at today sells online for around for around AU$77 for the 2GB version, and around AU$105 for a 4GB version. Here today we have the 2GB version, however there is no difference between the two versions other than the obvious storage size.The color scheme on the AU581 is a dark blue central screen and control area, surrounded by a polished silver frame. Altogether a very basic layout, the controls are handled by a 4-way directional-pad on the right hand side and a double button on the left and hand side of the unit with the power/hold button hiding on the side. These controls make the unit very easy to operate and navigate, no matter how technologically illiterate you are.
