Hai Hot Tunes MP3 Nano Ceramic Styling Flat Iron

I love this straigthner from Hai!! I just got in the mail yesterday and immediately used it to straigthen my fairly thin, long hair. I LOVE IT! I love the white and blue color and the plates get hot very quickly and leave hair feeling silky smooth. I haven't had a chance to download songs and import them to this product, but I can't wait to do so later! Even without the music feature, this is an excellent styling iron that works perfectly for me (and well worth the money - $188 on sale for $31 WHAT A DEAL!). Couldn't be happier :)Updated 7/27: I went to transfer music from my laptop to the straightner last night. I was sadly disappointed to find that when I plugged the USB connector into my computer, an error message came up saying the device I was trying to connect was too big and immediately disconnected the straightner. Looks like I won't be transferring any music onto here :( It's not a big enough of a problem for me that would cause me to return the product, but if you're buying this straightner for the music feature, I don't think you should opt for this one. Maybe connecting it to a desktop computer would be more effective, I'm not sure, but hooking it up to my Macbook 13'' wasn't working.

I’ve had this flat iron for five years now, having retired an old Hai I’d previously purchased at a salon. This one rivals the quality of the salon-purchased one, AND it was far less expensive. It has the mp3 function, which I’ve never used, but as a flat iron it works great. It heats up quickly and can get very hot, though I find that 350 is just right. I straighten my hair almost everyday and it isn’t damaged. The only cons I would have to acknowledge are that it doesn’t have an automatic shut-off, the controls are kind of antiquated, and it emits a high-pitched humming/buzzing sound even when shut off, similar to a fluorescent light.

This is a high quality flat iron for a ridiculously low price--because combining an MP3 player with a flat iron is a ridiculous idea and they must have a ton of these to get rid of. Search for other Hai irons and you'll quickly see that you are a getting a steal with this.That being said, I don't use the MP3 player because 1) I can't get it to work, and 2) I can't be bothered to try to get it to work. So the music function may be broken but I simply don't care because that's not what I bought this for. If you are buying it solely for the music than you may be disappointed. Just be forewarned. I'm still giving it 5 stars because it excels at its prime purpose--straightening hair.A bit about my hair: I have curly, unruly hair that is also quite fine and prone to humidity. This flat iron straightens each section of my hair in only a few swipes, and combined with a good straightening product, my hair stays relatively straight all day. I am very happy with the results, and the ceramic irons are high quality and don't make those burning, crunching sounds that cheaper irons make when tearing through your hair.

Cheap and you get what you pay for with this one. Does not compare to my brand name iron.

First let me start by saying that I haven't even tried the MP3 player. I don't need it and I didn't purchase this because of it. I bought this because every other Hai straightener was over $100. This one was a fraction of that price and works fantasticly. I'm very happy with it. It heats up quickly, it leaves my hair looking shiny, and I like that it has an on/of switch rather than a button. There's a dial so you can set it to what ever temp you want which is nice too. I definitely recommend this straightener.

I bought this iron for 2 reasons= It's a HAI and it was $29.99 on Amazon. I really don't care about the mp3 player, and I don't plan to download music into it. So this review goes entirely on PERFORMANCE. I got it 6 days ago (and used it every day) so I'm not sure it's time to rate it or wait a little longer. So far, the iron has met my expectations. If this is your very first iron, you'll love it. In my case, my HAI classic convertible iron gave up on me after 3 years of usage, and have no complaints about that flat iron. This one, it heats up very quickly, you can "tune" the temperature you want, you don't have to constantly "run" the iron on the same strand of hair, so is less damaging to your hair. It gives good results and I'm VERY picky when it comes to my hair. I gave it 4 stars because I'm so used to my old iron, which was a little better. Hope you find this review useful.

This is a great buy. I own many flat irons and this one is the one I reach for the most. I have damaged, aging, fine hair and this one does not seem to dry out my hair as much as some other name brand flat irons. It also has a temp control and you can play music independently when the flat iron is not in use. I did not have any trouble with the MP3. It is necessary to convert to Mp3 format however when using itunes and there are free apps online to convert the files. Once the music is downloaded, it is trickier to erase the selections but this can be done my going through the computer control panel and erasing the entire file in the flat iron pop up app. The music quality is not like that of a stereo but for the price it does the job and I am very pleased overall with the performance.

I was hopeful this cheaper version of the straighter I'd had for 8 years would be a great replacement, but it ended up not working upon arrival. when I plugged it in, it made a weird buzzing noise and never heated up. Returned immediately and will buy the $80 version in hopes it lasts me as long as my first one did.
