IRiver E100 Expert Reviews

This slickly styled player is easy on the eyes, but it's simply frustrating to use.

Slick design. microSD slot. Strong file support. FM radio and recording. Voice recording and line-in recording.

Photos and video don't look so great on the not-so-sharp screen. Uninspired user interface. Difficult navigation. Many settings and options are difficult to find.

iriver knows how to make good portable media players, like the venerable Clix and the Clix gen 2, so the E100 is a bit of a disappointment. It worksjust not gracefully or intuitively.

The iRiver E100 portable media player is no ordinary MP3 player since it packs in the following :- Stereo speakers Integrated FM radio microSD memory card slot Line-in D-Click system 2.4" TFT LCD screenAvailable in 4GB and 8GB versions, the iRiver ...

With its cream-colored plastic casing and minimalist controls (the entire area beneath the 2.4-inch display is a four-way mechanical rocker with a small center button), iRiver's E100 resembles a slightly overweight Apple Nano--or maybe a small early ...

Versatile media player Competitive price

Mediocre audio Unintuitive interface

iRiver makes some slick and stylish portable music and media players, but the E100 isn't at the top of the list. Between its unprepossessing industrial design, ho-hum audio, and difficult user interface, I didn't find much to recommend it

If you're not fussed about Apple's iPod range, the iRiver E100 offers great sound quality, simple operation and a pleasant design for not a lot of dosh. Providing both music and video capabilities, this player will reward you with some great features ...

The iRiver E100 is a nice player with excellent sound quality and a good price. We feel it's still inferior to Creative's Zen or Apple's iPod nano in terms of screen quality, but its painfully simple operation makes it a good choice for MP3 newbies or ...

Will this replace your iPod?

Great audio playback, easy to use

Poor screen, plastic look to it

While not the most expensive of MP3 players, the E100 has a satisfactory screen for the price and a sound quality well above average

Here it is, the iRiver E100 review. No need to hide it any longer, the E100 is an excellent product. Very well built and, at a price of 129â?¬ for…

+ Excellent audio quality, + D-Click system, + MicroSD port, + MTP/UMS (the player is detected as an external drive), + Price to quality ratio, + All around player (Audio, Vidoo, Photo, Text, FM radio, voice recorder), + Design

- No Bluetooth, - Battery Life in Video mode, - D-Click sometimes lacks reactivity

Looks like I got myself a winner here and a superior mp3 player to the ipod. Open standards is what I've been looking for since my first (and last) iPod years ago. *I* should be in control of how my music is organized in files and folders when put ...

Does iRiver's E100 media player stand out from the crowd? Jon dons the cans to find out.

But, all-in-all, the E100 is not a player I'd be happy recommending. Apart from its good quality audio output, decent range of features and Flac support, there's very little about this player that makes it stand out from the competition. And it has ...

THE iRiver E100 has a few interface and screen issues, however it will satisfy most users' needs.

Unintuitive controls, sluggish at times, screen not as impressive as competition

While it does the job just fine, iRiver's flash based portable media player the E100 does have a few niggling issues that set it back a notch from some of the competition.
