Review Summary

More info

The MPIO FL400 is OK as an MP3 player necklace, but with its relatively high price and lack of new features, there's no compelling reason to buy it.

If it's a small wearable MP3 player you are after, you will be hardpressed to find something more suitable than the Cowon iAudio T2. However, it does have its shortcomings.

If you like your music playback simple and your device nearly invisible, the second-generation iPod shuffle will suit you well. But absentminded users should steer clear of this easy-to-misplace player.

The iriver S10 may have its shortfalls, but it's all at the expense of size. At least, from the standpoint of a mini MP3 player, it's probably the best that money can buy.
