Pros: small, expandable memory
Cons: never worked right, disks were hard to find, sound wasn't good
Summary: Typically, I am an impulsive shopper. However, when I set out to buy an MP3 player, I actually tried to do a little research. I read a few Epinions on various models, and hit Best Buy’s computer department with an idea of models that I didn’t ... read more

Pros: It's sleek and looks nice.
Cons: Bulky.
Awful support from a terrible company.
Zero manufacturing quality.
Disks only 40MB.
Summary: I purchased the IOMEGA Hipzip quite some time ago, because I thought the idea was sound and since it was IOMEGA it would be a high quality product with excellent support. Boy, was I mistaken. First of all, the player's functionality is severely ... read more

Summary: I have purchased the Iomega Hipzip about 3 years back, when it was first released, until now it's working better than ever, but the money that i payed for it isn't really worth it anymore, i mean there are better mp3 players out there right now, and ... read more

Pros: Cheap media in Clik zip discs
Cons: Bugs? INFESTED! Won't hold a charge after a month.
Summary: That's what my mom always said, and this MP3 player proves her right. I loved it at first, but soon it began to show its true colors.
The discs are inexpensive, but very hard to find - although you can sure order them from iomega!

Pros: No CDs=No skipping
Cons: Moving parts=easy to break
Summary: The Intro:
Before I got the Iomega Hipzip Digital Audio Player 40MB, I had been looking for a good, portable MP3 player for a long time, without success. A CD-MP3 player I bought was just terrible, it skipped on any light jostle, so I returned ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive & expandable media, WMA compatible, great sound, battery life
Cons: Unexplained freeze-ups, non-replaceable battery, larger than some players
Summary: The Hipzip (HZ) represents my first MP3 player purchase. Quite honestly, the only reason I purchased this player instead of a competitor was the fact that I know someone who works for Iomega, and I knew that I would get some free media—the click! or ... read more

Pros: Expansive, inexpensive, great sound quality, very tough, rechargeable battery, portable hard drive!
Cons: A little bulky, supplied headphones are sub-par, and can potentially skip
Summary: The pros of this Mp3 player are numerous. Firstly, it is relatively inexpensive to buy/operate. The 40-mb Clik! disks are far cheaper than other removable media, so your collection can be much more expansive than one stored on CF cards, a much more ... read more

Cons: Noisy, hard to charge battery
Summary: I looked far and wide for an MP3 player that would suit all of my needs, and I had quite a few of them. I wanted a player that could hold a lot of high-quality music, a player that didn't "eat" up batteries, a player that was relatively inexpensive, and ... read more

Pros: Compact and easy to carry.
Cons: none
Summary: The Iomega HipZip MP3 player is a great buy. Instead of the built in memory it has interchangeable 40mb disks. These are great because you can just make a new mix or just delete the songs off the disk itself. This saves time when you want your songs ... read more

Pros: Cheap media, good sound quality, built in battery, can be used as a drive
Cons: a slight whir sound when loading, poor headphones
Summary: After looking at all of the reviews, I finally decided on the Hipzip. The reasons I chose it is because: It wasn't very expensive, and the media was very cheap. Once I finally got it in the mail (I bought it on eBay) I opened the box, bought a new pair ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive media, small, good sound, easy to use
Cons: Slightly heavy, player makes noise while reading Clik! disks
Summary: I bought my HipZip because of its innovative concept. The 40MB PocketZip disks were only $10 a piece, a fraction of the price of memory cards. I could carry around 5 of them with 200MB of music compared to the 64MB of other players. I found the HipZip's ... read more

Pros: Recent price drop, cheap replaceable media, long battery life, excellent sound, multipurpose
Cons: Mechanical parts
Summary: I'd thought the HipZip was out of my range, but the recent price drop was a nice surprise. Given a choice between the HipZip and another high-end player whose 64MB sticks cost more than the player itself, I chose the HipZip. I have not regretted it. ... read more

Pros: Versatile, Agile, Mobile
Cons: Must remember to recharge!
Summary: When I began shopping for a MP3 player, I sound found one thing out: memory is king. With too little memory, you're either forced to shrink your songs, resulting in poorer quality, or you're unable to put more than a handful of songs into memory. ... read more
