Breaks after 1 week, not sweatproof at all
I have spend more time handling returns that listening to music, got 2, Both failed, my guess they are not even close to sweat-proof as they claim, never going to buy it again.

I used my tiny iPod shuffle for many years until it finally just stopped taking a charge and quit working. After that I wanted something small, light and simple to use so I bought this AGPTEK G02 8GB Clip MP3 Player to use while mountain biking and working out. It's small, very light, very durable and very simple to use. It comes with a robust clip that works with pretty much any type of workout clothing and is so light that it is not noticeable when wearing. It works with any mini-jack headphone/earbuds and is not bluetooth which is what I wanted. I find bluetooth earbuds combined with a small player like this are just too many things to charge and keep track of for mountain biking; if a bud falls out or the player comes loose, the jack and wire keep it all together.
This is the second AGPTEK G02 8GB Clip MP3 player I've purchased because I destroyed the first one by riding in heavy rain without the included silicone waterproof case which was my fault, not the fault of the player. Now I take the waterproof case with me if it looks like rain.

This thing feels nice to operate with one hand, the buttons are satisfying to press, and it's also nice to see this thing use USB-C to charge and sync.
Battery life may be a miss for some folks out there, but for me, it's fine because I don't use this thing 24/7 nor do I have to charge it everyday, but that's just me.
Listening to music on this is real nice, but when it comes to shuffling your songs, I noticed that it would shuffle the same few songs, unless I would press the next button, then it would actually play something completely different.
You can choose to either have this player shuffle your songs or play them in order and personally, I'm content just using the ladder.
Overall, this thing is alright and if you're upset that this thing doesn't support bluetooth for any reason, you can get a bluetooth transmitter to fix that. I tested that myself with a BT transmitter from UGreen and it works pretty well.

Like it does what it says long battery on a full charge wired connection so no need to charge Bluetooth headphones

As a die hard shuffle user I was skeptical about this one. It works wonderfully and I haven’t experienced the repeating of songs on hour long runs. The sound quality is excellent. I have only one complaint: you cannot adjust the volume with wired earbuds…..update: the plastic disintegrates when wearing sunscreen. I have opted to pay the higher price for iPod shuffles.

Over all great product for the price. It's lightweight, small, easy to use and to wear.

Battery Life:
Longevity of the product is a ball park guess of 16-20 hours or more. In total, it will last you awhile. For two work days of 8 hour shifts, the mp3 doesn't show battery warnings till the 2nd day. A minimum of 16 hours, and than some with regular usage.
Sound Quality:
As far as I'm aware, the device doesn't effect the quality of the sound, but the actual MP3 format does. (320 being one of the better quality standards) No, this device doesn't play FLAC files. Just your most well known, windows operated mp3 formats.
For working out:
I've not experienced using this at the gym, but I have gone on long walks while using this. As long as the back clip of the mp3 player is fastened to something reliable, the product is going to stay in place. As far as running, I would be a little cautious; for walking? you're good.
The silicone material, including the case, grants you a good chance of sweaty, greasy fingers of misclicks, track skips or pinching the device out of your hand.
For office/work:
I work at an office where there are no recording, no blue tooth, no internet access devices are allowed on the floor. I've used this product for a few weeks now on a daily basis and it's a simple mp3 player. This will work for at least 2 8 hour shifts, perhaps half a 3rd day.
Mechanics of the device:
You're shuffle is kind of weird. Let me explain...if you had a track list of 100 songs on this device, somehow, someway, you're going to hear some of the same songs on shuffle. For instance, song 47 of 100 is more than likely to "randomly" appear the other 99 other tracks. I don't understand why this occurs, but it's something I've picked up.
When switched on shuffle, the device's directional pad (left and right) are both leading you to a random song. Which means the song you were just listening too, cannot be played again if you have already finished/skipped it previously. Instead, you will find another random song put in it's place.
Another issue I would like to point out is that the directional pad has no edges, ridges, or indention's. Giving navigation to of the device with no eyes may be a little tricky. I've used the input cord for my headphones as to where MP3 player is currently being held. AKA there might be a confusion if you're turning up, turning down, skipping forward or backward sometimes without looking.
Volume Control: Simply hold down up to increase volume, down to decrease volume. Simply clicking up or down repetitively is not going to do anything.

I wouldn't get this - it's way too glitchy, confusing, and unreliable. Here are a few reasons:
(1) Definitely not sweatproof/waterproof (see pic). Water/sweat just seeps through the silicon case via the opening for the clip.
(2) Turns on randomly after charging. I woke up a couple of nights to the faint sound of music.
(3) Because of #2 above, I tried using it one time after it charged overnight and it was completely out of batteries. My guess is that when the music turned on, it drained the batteries but didn't continue charging.
(4) Confusing lights (see pic of pages from manual). It's tough to tell which mode it's in since there are 2 lights (red and blue) and each light can either stay on, be off, flash, or flash rapidly.
It's one good quality is that the build seems pretty stable, and when it's working it works quite well.
