Pros: Firmware Upgrades; Sound Quality; Accessories Included; Radio/Mic features; Ability to Rip songs; Battery Life
Cons: Headphones are crap; Joystick isn't great; playlist feature is rather useless

I'm a music lover and the thought of having an entire music library, consisting of 1200 songs, is unbearable to not have. So I set out to buy one. At first, I originally planned to purchase the iPod's 20 GB player but the salesman and past experiences ...

Pros: 20GB, Excellent battery life, high volume output, WMA/MP3, USB 2.0.
Cons: Usability is bad. Won't play Napster WMAs. Poor organization of WMA libraries. Poor playlist support.

I believe this is one of the best media players currently on the market. That said, there is still plenty of room for improvement in these devices. THE “GOOD” * Battery life – very good. 12+ hours. * Volume produced is loud ...

Pros: Plug and Play, Good Battery Life, Remote Control, Quiet
Cons: Can't create playlists, Battery isn't removable, somewhat complex menu system

I used to have a Creative Nomad Jukebox Xtra which had worked decently up until last month when it suddenly died. So here I was, with a 300 dollar rebate, looking for another MP3 player to fill my audio needs. The Iriver H120 is the middle of the ...

Pros: File Transfer, 20 Gb. LONG battery life. Power to the headphones.
Cons: "Joy stick", remote, size, worthless ear buds, price.

Critique: I've had the unit for about a week. I have LOVED it the entire time. Unlike many people that have posted negative responses, I have done my research PRIOR to purchasing this item, especially considering the price; about $340 with ...

Pros: A great package and a great value. The storage capacity is amazing.
Cons: the joystick interface, the remote clip is miss-aligned, the multifunction buttons are confusing.

What is in the box: The iHP-120 Unit (no surprise here) A Leather Carry Case (with belt loop) LCD Remote (allows you to keep the base unit in your pocket and still control ALL functions) Headphones (not too bad, not the best, odd design) ...

Pros: Good on paper
Cons: Nearly useless with Mac OS X

I'm using the iRiver iHP-120 with Mac OS 10.3 on a Powerbook G4. I've had it for about 2 days, and its interaction with the OS is an absolute disgrace. Connecting to the Player The computer recognizes the player about 1 in 10 times that I ...

Pros: Battery life; inputs/outputs; voice recording; form factor; plays WMA and Ogg Vorbis; FM tuner
Cons: Requires some technical aptitude to make full use

Don't let the title scare you; you don't have to be a linux hacker to use this device. However, you do need some technical aptitude to make good use of it. By this, I mean, if you are comfortable ripping mp3s and putting 100 of them on a CD, you have ...

Pros: All accessories included, great sound quality and battery life, feature loaded.
Cons: Okay joystick interface, remote clip misaligned. Poor support from iRiver.

My first impression of the H120 (formerly IHP-120) was utter awe. This is one fantastic piece of engineering, though there are inevitably a few design quirks. The review below is fairly long because there's just so much to say about this player. ...

Pros: EVERYTHING, the sound, the convenience. See the review.
Cons: Nothing, nothing at all.

Wow, wow, WOW. This little thing is incredible, it really really is. I bought this after trading in my minidisc player in search of something small and portable. I was going to get an ipod but the more I read about iriver vs ipod, and the problems ipods ...

Pros: Excellent Music, FM radio, all the featured built into the player, the Remote!
Cons: ID3 tag support and that damn case.

*** UPDATE *** 06/08/2004 *** As you will read later in my review and have already read in my 'cons' I said that the iRiver lacks WMA ID3 tag support. However i recently visited iRiver's website http://www.iriveramerica.com and downloaded their most ...

Pros: Excellent sound, FM Tuner, tons of features, lots of storage and recording options.
Cons: No DRM WMA, non-replacable battery, physically bigger than typical Flash-based players.

Ok, thats a song from the Violent Femmes. Truth is I like all kinds of music, with a leaning towards the Blues like Pinetop Perkins, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, etc. I also have Tchaikovsky, the Smithereens, Butthole Surfers, Shaggy, Marilyn Manson, ...

Pros: - 1/8" Stereo Microphone input! - 20GB HDD_USB2.0 - Line/Optical Ins and Outs
Cons: - .ogg file ID3tag problem - Cheesy Headphones - No fiber optic cable included

I put a lot of time into researching MP3 player/recorders. If you're a musician, this is for you! Usage Background: My band always needs to record spontaneous musical ideas, and likes to record our concert performances. The only simple, portable ...

Pros: Build Quality, Leather Carrying Case, LCD Remote Control, Optical IN/OUT, and Rockbox Firmware.
Cons: Bad Support of Firmware from iRiver(Rockbox took care of this), Blister Packaging, No FM Recording

It was an easy choice to make when I decided to purchase the H120. I had done my research and every other player was not up to par with the H120. The iPod had terrible battery life; Creative's Hard Drive Player had too many little problems; Archos ...

Pros: Audio customization; recording features; 20 GB; solid/attractive construction; battery life; excellent sound quality
Cons: Tedious to navigate and create playlists; remote can make things more complicated; no AM radio

I am very happy with this little machine. It has a ton of features: line-in recording, built in microphone, included external microphone, illuminated remote control, FM tuner, text display (albeit not an ideal one). The sound is way more customizable ...

Cons: Joystick a tad big.
