The backlit LCD display provided clear visibility of track information and settings, even in low-light conditions.

Battery life was another impressive characteristic of the EXP series, offering longevity that was crucial for users who valued uninterrupted listening experiences. The flexibility of using both regular AA batteries and rechargeable options made these players adaptable to different usage scenarios.

Furthermore, both models supported various connectivity options, including a headphone jack and line-out features, allowing for versatile listening experiences.
