So before slipping beyond obscurity they're trying to make a desperate comeback, and oddly enough we can say they have a fighting chance. Let's have a look at these MP3 players that are giving the smartphones a run for their money!

1.
Apple iPod Touch

Let's get one thing straight, Apple are the ones who revolutionized the way we look at the MP3. Turning a gadget into an accessory and eventually a status quotient of sorts, Apple brought the MP3 player to us. And still as of today they're reigning with ease, and the iPod Touch happens to be at the top of it all! The next gen Touch is loaded with the Retina Display to show some pristine clear visuals while the 5-Megapixel camera is all set to shoot HD videos at 1080p! Apart from that, it's loaded with the all-new iOS 6 and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth capabilities make this the sweetest deal out there! But the place where it truly excels is in the playback segment offering up to 40 hour of music and 8 hours of video. Impressive!

Apple iPod Nano

This wafer-thin piece of metal is a truly magical device that tends to cramp a bucket load of features and delivers it in a light-weight body. To set things straight, the Nano is an iPod Touch on some heavy-duty diet! Barely weighing 31 gm with a thickness (or thinness) of only 5.4 mm, slipping this into your pocket would be barely noticeable! But the true shocker of the Nano is the punch it packs in its tiny little body. 16 GB worth of space clubbed with Bluetooth, 2.5 inch touchscreen and 30 hours of music playback and 3.5 hours of video makes this one a must-have!

3.
Samsung Galaxy Player

[post_ads]The next biggie in this list is the Samsung Galaxy player. It looks like a Samsung Android phone, acts like a Samsung Android phone but doesn't work like one! The Galaxy Player is a smartphone minus the SIM card. Bundled with Android and expandable to 32 GB, Wi-Fi, touchscreen in variant of 3.6, 4, 4.2 and 5 inch, front and rear camera, the Samsung Galaxy Player is the perfect budget MP3 player for one and all! The fact that it is Android based gives it a much bigger playground to play on. Loading tonnes of apps, playing games, watching movies, etc would be a breeze, all thanks to its OS. Grab this one if you're looking for the best budget MP3 player in store!

Sony Walkman NWZ-S639Fs

The people to usher the term ‘Walkman' into existence and to have it brandished across everyone's brain, Sony truly have had a remarkable run till the turn of the century when suddenly their bubble was busted by Apple and its iPod. The S series by Sony is their comeback to battle against the supreme leaders of today. It's light, handy, and easy to use, all thanks to the brilliant Sony interface and juices for 40 hours on a single charge! Sony has definitely done a commendable job with this one, and it shows!

5.
Cowon S9

[post_ads]Cowon is yet another name that has been closely associated with MP3, and they've been rolling out all their big guns to cement their place further in the market. Their all new player, the S9 is a product of true finesse. An elegant looking MP3 player with a trimmed out body that is a delight to hold, the S9 offers an AOLED touchscreen, Bluetooth and 32 GB of memory to fool around! Grab this one for its drop-dead gorgeous looks and you'll surely make some heads turn!
