Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $350.00 from Iriver

Summary:
I have had this unit now for about 2 years. It has travelled with me very well. The music sounds very good through Sony MDR V6 headphones. I also run it through some Monsoon computer speakers for music in my room when I am out on the road. This unit is no longer made, but can still be had on ebay. With a 40GB drive, you can store massive ammounts of MP3, even at 320 Kbps.

Strengths:
Great sound, nice package, good battery life.

Weaknesses:
Sadly, the repair folks at iRiver are not the best. I cracked the screen, and was told that repair would cost $400. (we have to ship it all the way back to Korea) For $150, I picked up one with a broken drive on ebay, and swapped out the board/screen unit in about an hour.
