Rio Cali

 

We hate to rub it in, but the Rio Cali is everything that the Nike-Philips psa[128max should have been. In addition to offering about 55 percent greater battery life, the Cali adds athlete-friendly features like an FM tuner, stopwatch functions, and...

Performance

 

Rio Cali

Compact and lightweight; SD expansion slot; FM radio; stopwatch; robust software; playlist support; strong battery life.

Doesn't feel supersturdy.

Rio once again delivers one of the spiffier sports-style MP3 players.

Expert review by : Abby Ferguson (pocket-lint.com)

This shower speaker's sound quality is a total wash

 

Don't expect quality sound from the Soundbot SB510 Shower Speaker. Coming in below $15, it's affordable but it lacks quality speaker depth.

Very affordable ; Suction cup holds surprisingly well, even on tile ; Small ; Built-in mic allows for hands-free operation ; Available in six colors

Sound quality is quite poor ; Only IPX4 rated ; MicroUSB charging

The Soundbot SB510 is a budget shower speaker that lets you listen to tunes in the shower. It's easy to use and features a built-in mic for hands-free use, but lacks depth in sound quality.

Rio Black/Green 256MB MP3 Player Cali

 

This thing rocks! I love it.. I like the fact I can upgrade the memory, but I am able to fit quite a bit at 64K WMA. Sounds good too.
