Iriver H120 20 GB

I was looking at getting a hard drive based MP3 player for a while and was so happy when i got my IPOD 20gig player. i loaded up all my songs and was away i was happy sitting down listening to my music when the battier died on me after about 3 hours. The information said it would last for 8 hours the next day i was reading the daily mail and there was an article about the apple ipods. so i started to read and i was horrified to about the rubbish battier life and how if you use it for to long after a year you will not be able to charge it again. you would have to send it off to apple to get a new battier installed for the cost of £70 + p&p. I took it back to the ...  Read the complete review

I have owned this player for over 5 years now, and what an absolute cracker it has been. Yes, in this day and age of video players, MP4, wifi etc it has fallen way behind the pack leaders, even from iRiver's own output, but the fact that it is still going strong 5 years later with a battery that lasts and lasts (and lasts) is real credit to the great design and build of this device. I bought for its sound quality at the time and the fact that it played OGG, WMA etc in addition to MP3. Additionally, the iHP range had the much under-rated optical in and out jacks (where have they gone from this generation's iPods and the like?!) As I said earlier, ...  Read the complete review

This unit has a lot of features, and I have a short attention span, so I'l going to bullet point this review. Reason for purchase I wasn't particularly looking for another portable music player, despite being fairly drooly over the iPod. I walked into my favourite electronics shop to buy a ethernet switch when I spotted the iRiver under the glass counter alongside a 15GB ipod and a Creative Zen Extra. After the Gent spent a few minutes running through the features in comparison with the others, I was sold. As a radiophile, the FM tuner is a killer feature, the USB 2-ness of it is also a necessary - and of course, it was cheaper than the other two. ...  Read the complete review

I was recommend this player by mp3players.co.uk - but unfortunately when I tried to order - the item was out of stock which I found to be true at a number of online stores. So either the IHP120 is popular or there are supply difficulties. When I tried another site - which told me stocks were in - I was later emailed saying that the item was out of stock. On enquiring I was told that their site was not linked to the stock list - hmmmm : ( However eventually - to my surprise Dixons online had stock (check by phone call) - and the IHP120 was delivered a few days later. The IHP120 is a breeze to set up - drag MP3s from the computer. I have been ...  Read the complete review

Brought this back in jan 2005 from ebay. Simply amazed by its standard firmware functionality. Couldnt quite believe that it could record from an optical in source in different formats at first until I tried it. Remote is a saviour, suprised its ommited from so many new MP3 players?! Keep it well out of site this way. Sound quality is excellent via my Sennheiser PX100 headphones, and the Sennheiser earphones that come with it arent bad either! This device really comes into its own using the rockbox firmware, adds features like on-the-go playlisting, fully working M3U playback, reduces startup time to just 6s, gives you battery ...  Read the complete review
