Bij AnandTech is een review online gezet van de Best Data CABO MP3 speler. De CABO heeft standaard 64MB geheugen en kan met een smartmedia kaart verhoogd worden naar 96MB. Verder is er een mogelijk aanwezig voor voice-recording en kun je er 250 telefoonnummers in kwijt.
The manual could be better by including all necessary procedures for basic CABO usage. Having equalizer presets (DSP modes) that actually reflect the type of music played could be improved upon. The bass and treble performance in general is weak for all songs again reflecting the need to have a better decoder to improve the overall sound quality. The CABO also only offers Windows 95 and Windows 98 support. It does not support Windows NT or the new Windows 2000. In this manner, the CABO cannot reach this audience and soon many PC manufacturers will start to make the move to Windows 2000. The technical support is another downside since Best Data charges 7 dollars (U.S.) per incident for all of their products. Finally, the price of the CABO is steep at a street price of $239, which is inline with most other players currently in the market. For the average MP3 user, this can put a deep dent in the pocket.
