Toshiba Cranks Out Gigabeat T400

By Nick Mokey Published July 27, 2014

Toshiba updated its Gigabeat line of MP3 players on Tuesday with the introduction of the Gigabeat T400, a new flash-based model. It features 4GB storage, built-in H2C audio enhancement technology and support for WMA lossless audio files.

The T400 retains Toshiba’s signature PlusPad control button, set in the face of a black magnesium alloy case that comes trimmed in a choice of blue, pink or orange. It also sports a 2.4-inch color LCD display for navigating through music collections, displaying photos and playing videos. An internal battery should power the T400 for 16 hours of audio playback, or 5 hours of video.

According to Toshiba, H2C enhances MP3 and WMA files by restoring treble and bass signals that are usually lost in the process of ripping the audio. Lossless WMA files allow full-fidelity CD recordings to be significantly reduced in size, yet remain bit-for-bit identical upon decompression.

The T400 is available now for $119.99 through Toshiba Direct.
