Creative Nomad Micro

[dwayne001]

SO I got the micro and it had this battery problem. I charge it when I get it and about 45 minutes later it gave the indication of being fully charged. So i tuen it on and it dies within five minutes.

I charge it again, this time forh te proscribed three hours. I go to use it again and it died within a paltry half an hour of usage!!

My question is: Is the faulty battery a product of User-Error in any way?

And, is there any way to get this thing working without taking it back to Creative/Amazon?

Thanks for any sugestions in advance.

EDIT: I've also noticed something about the headphones-- they sound great but the earbud thing doesn't do so well in my ear. I tried other earphones-- back of the head wrap arounds by aiwa and in order to achieve the same volume, I had to turn the device's volume nearly all of the way up.

The Aiwa's are supposed to be good phones, so i'm worndering if the fact that they are larger than the earbuds that come with the device has anything to do with the apparent volume loss.
Specifically, do they draw more power?

Is is a "Creative" thing? Should I be looking for wrap arounds by Creative due to some proprietary thing with the headphones.

I have the Sony MDR-EX51's. Got em for around $40. They sound awesome. Lots of bass. Plus the highs sound just as great. They fit inside the ear so you do get some noise cancellation. Regarding the battery, let it charge over night and if it still dies I'd send the battery back to them and ask for a new one. They're removeable correct? If you get a new one and it does the same thing then I guess you can return the player cuz its prolly defective.
