iRiver H300 review

Intro Many moons ago, the iRiver H120 was dubbed one of the first "iPod killers," thanks to its petite form factor and a bevy of extra features. Today, its replacement, the 40GB H340 ($440), is consistently one of the first high-capacity MP3 players to...

Excellent audio playback and recording quality; vibrant color interface; strong battery life; compatible with DRM-protected WMAs and subscription-based services; decent FM tuner.

Slight learning curve; photos load slowly; no simultaneous photo and music playback; controls can be confusing at first; slow start-up; no on-the-go playlist.

As did the phased-out H120, the H340 will attract those who value features as well as superior audio playback and recording quality over style.

iRiver H340

For a lot of audiophiles out there, iRiver is not a strange name. For the past couple of years, iRiver's line of hard disk drive MP3 players have been...

In addition, users can also rip music directly from a CD. There is a line-in port to which users can connect a CD player. Then with the press of "record", H340 would start ripping down all the songs and encode it to the user's choice of quality and...

The iriver H300

The iriver H100 was - and is still considered one of the greatest DAPs ever produced. The H300 series was a worthy successor and was released on 2004, making the H300 5 years old. That is ancient by today's standards, especially in a market where even...

The audio quality is the most admired trait of the H300. The device supports MP3, OGG, WMA, ASF and WAV and sounds absolutely breathtaking. The device does have SRS WOW, but it really doesn't sound too natural. The custom EQ is not the usual 5 band bar...

Simply the best

Well, I have been working on selecting a player for about six months now. Personally, I am a bit geeky but this player was meant for my daughter who I feel is more interested in playing music than playing geek so I felt ease of use was important. When...
