Decide carefully before you buy.

by cleared_direct , Jul 11 '01
Pros: Removable media. Good sound quality. Can play songs loud!
Cons: Questionable quality. Buggy firmware. Packaged headphones are pathetic.
I love the ability to take my music anywhere nowadays. I started with the Walkman, then moved up to a Discman, started toying with MiniDisc players, and then now MP3 players. I love the fact that with MP3 players, you can transfer songs very quickly...

The worst product I have had the displeasure of owning

by fluence , Nov 08 '04
Pros: It's sleek and looks nice.
Cons: Bulky. Awful support from a terrible company. Zero manufacturing quality. Disks only 40MB.
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 ...

It ain't a bargain if you can't use it

by tomorrow2day , Nov 17 '02
Pros: Cheap media in Clik zip discs
Cons: Bugs? INFESTED! Won't hold a charge after a month.
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!

The first toy I've enjoyed in a long time...then it broke

by mr_chupon99 , Apr 24 '01
Pros: Small, fun to tinker with, extra disks are cheap, ease of use.
Cons: VERY buggy, both hardware and software wise. Will break very quickly (within a month).
I wrote this huge review for this little toy, because I was so pleased with it. It was working wonderfully...then it broke. If you recall a children's book called "Matilda", the father is a used car salesman who would sell cars that would work just...

Iomega HipZip - Back to the Store from Whence it Came

by amykhar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 11 '00
Pros: small, expandable memory
Cons: never worked right, disks were hard to find, sound wasn't good
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 ...

A Capable But Flawed MP3 Player

by bleugoose , Mar 27 '02
Pros: Inexpensive & expandable media, WMA compatible, great sound, battery life
Cons: Unexplained freeze-ups, non-replaceable battery, larger than some players
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...

I thought I was getting a long-lasting MP3 player, I was wrong!!

by bxk209 , Aug 06 '02
Pros: No CDs=No skipping
Cons: Moving parts=easy to break
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...

HipZip: There's Many a Slip Twixt a Cup and a (Hip) Zip

by m001 , Sep 19 '01
Pros: Terrific sound quality, Uses inexpensive Click discs, Supports WMA
Cons: Awful headphones, Very limited storage capacity
Ah, the joys of portable MP3 players! Hours and hours of music compressed for your listening pleasure and available for your morning jog, your work-out at the gym, your stroll with baby, your cross-country jaunt in the SUV. Well, there has been an...

It's Aight

by nilepower , May 11 '04
Pros: Menu Structure, Sound Quality, Unlimited Space
Cons: HUGE SIZE, noisy hard drive sounds, Click disks
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 ...

Zip or Not To Zip?

by zUsmile , Dec 08 '00
Pros: Versatile can store music or files
Cons: Mechanical parts
I started out looking for various MP3 players on the market. Some
were small (Sony stick), some were bulky (CD player size), some just
looked plain ugly. There are USB versions, Parallel versions, and I saw
one that had both USB and...

Versatile unit-but is it worth the price???

by Harrison! , Feb 07 '01
Pros: Cheap media cost, rugged design, easy drag and drop usage
Cons: Expensive, no FM radio
I felt it was time to get with the MP3 trend for my next portable music device. Most of the MP3s on the market are differentiated along the following lines:

Fixed Media: These feature non-removable media(the recording area-either semiconductor...

Very Good Product, but Look for Better Values

by jameschandler , Jan 24 '01
Pros: Lots of music for the price, great battery, and usable for more than music.
Cons: New Archos and Treo players might be better values; no car adapter available yet
I wanted to get an MP3 player in time for my vacation -- my wife and I went to northern California for two weeks in December -- so I could take some of my large (500+ CDs) music collection with me, especially on the plane. Players like the Diamond Rio...

My first MP3 - and I'm very satisfied!!

by mbcoop2000 , Dec 10 '00
Pros: Low cost click-disks. Rechargeable. Rugged looks.
Cons: Big. Earphones are yukky!
I have been nibbling at the edges for months now for an MP3 player. I have been downloading files, crunching CD's and playing around with MP3's for a few years, but never got serious about a player until recently.

by Jmlsammy , Dec 27 '00
Pros: Ability to use inexpensive Clik disks, good sound quality
Cons: Headphones, Quick Start Guide Installation Procedure
I've had my Iomega HipZip MP3 player for about a week now and I believe my money was well spent. I bought this MP3 player because of the ability to use Clik disks. Clik disks are inexpensive and you won't run out of space if you have enough of them....
