Pros: Feature rich and easy to use. Cons: Durablity has been a reported problem.
Fifty bucks can get you a no-name, no frills 128 MB MP3 player or the 256 MB Refurbished Rio Cali (www.tigerdirect.com), but is it worth the extra storage to go the refurb route? I live close the Tiger Direct outlet store so I headed over there to ...
Pros: Small size, FM tuner, expandable, arm strap included, reasonable priced Cons: Weak FM tuner signal, poor belt clip, Army green color
Rio Cali 256mb review When I set out on my quest to find the “perfect” mp3 player, I wasn’t sure what I would end up with, iRiver, SDIO, Apple iPod, Dell DJ…solid state or hard drive based…the choices can drive one crazy! After much research and ...
Having owned four Rio Mp3 players in the past and being very satisfied with them all (models S10, S30, S35, & S50) I had good expectations for this newer model but was vastly disappointed with the outcome. Below I have reviewed every aspect of the ...
Pros: Compact, belt clip useable & it worked fine on my Mac Cons: Besides the inherent defect? Shuffle didn't go through ALL tunes.
The subject line says it all, really. Two Units - Same Defect - Crappy Warranty and Customer Service. I purchased this unit when it was new on the market, meaning that it was retailing for over CAD$200. I also bought something I usually never buy - ...
Pros: Inexpensive, good sound quality, FM tuner, good display, Easy to use software. Cons: Time/Date unreliable, FM reception sketchy, armband housing weak.
I recently received the Rio Cali sport as a birthday present. I'd been looking for a mp3 player and this one fit my needs well. My main reason for wanting an mp3 player was so that I could listen to music while I worked out. I practice Tae Kwon Do ...
Pros: Compact, ease of use, headphones, plays both WMA and MP3, capacity Cons: It's green.
A lot of people are knocking this player because of the FM tuner reception, the earphones, customer service, and the software. I've owned the player for about six months now and I use it quite extensively. Here are my thoughts: As for the FM tuner, ...
Pros: Expandable Memory, Seemingly water (sweat) proof. Cons: Software doesn't handle the memory correctly when SD card installed.
I bought this player before coming to Epinions. Bad idea. What other people are seeing here is what I am experiencing. The product worked well with the original 256M bytes, but once I added a 1Gig SD card everything went to hell. The RIO Music ...
Pros: Light, rugged and versatile with lots of great features including a decent FM tuner Cons: A bit expensive, troublesome music manager software, battery compartment a little flimsy
I just picked it up two days ago and already I'm in love! This unit is just what I was looking for. I enjoy going walking over my lunch breaks and I take my dog for walks daily also. I was getting pretty bored with just walking alone with my thoughts ...
Pros: Size, User Interface, Headphone design. Cons: Color.
I bought this for my technophobe wife/runner. For years she has been asking me for a tiny tape player for running. Of course there is no such thing. Then along came these little MP3 players. (I know I am little slow, they have been around for a ...
Pros: Ease of use, size, sound quality Cons: FM tuner, headphones, color choices
I purchased this player as a replacement to my bulky CD-man. So far, I've been impressed with with it. First, it was made for you to be mobile. The convenient armband allows you to use the player without it getting in your way. The user interface is ...
Pros: Good software, battery life, very light Cons: Terrible warranty, questionable durability
THE BAD: Rio has the shortest warranty term (3 months) of any mp3 player manufacturer; it appears that even Rio is dubious of their products durability. I have owned two of these units, neither has been dropped nor mishandled, and both have failed ...
Pros: Great sound, all the features that you would want as an MP3 player only.
Cons: The FM tuner is just a waste of a space the online registration sucks
I just purchased the Rio Cali 256 Meg it has great sound and seems to be a good MP3 player considering that it is my first and hopefully my last for sometime. The FM tuner is just a waste of a space as it will not pickup a radio station unless I put ...
Pros: What can I say, AWESOME product! All around best player for the gym. Cons: NONE
Ok, first of all I am so happy about my new Rio Cali 256MB that I just had to write this review. I must have done a full week of internet research and store hopping to find the perfect MP3 player for working out at the gym. Well, after 4 days of ...
Pros: Cost, Ease of Use, Portability, Looks, Upgradeable memory, Sound Quality Cons: Those bloody headphones.
I spent a long, long, long time deciding on an mp3 player. I was attracted to the ipod and other 10gb models but wasn't sure if the extra cost could be justified and decided I would never really need the space for thousands of songs... I don't know ...
