Ok, so I have had my J3 for three days now, and the intro screen with the J3 will remain on the front screen and not go to the display screen. I have tried everything, reset it, and when I plug it into the computer....The j3 screen comes up, and just stays there and the computer won't recognize the player....Is it a dud, and should I just send it back...This is really annoying!

The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

I know this is a really silly question, but did you charge it up first? If so and it is still frozen, yes you should send it back for an exchange. The J3 really is an excellent player but you may have just gotten a lemon.
I am a long time J3 owner.
Cheers!

I had similar problem. Even tried updating firm ware but still not work. Have just sent it back for refund.
Try holding the reset button for a long time, 20 seconds or more, for a very hard re-boot.
