The good: Sleeker and slimmer than its predecessor; offers the same unique and intuitive interface; stellar audio quality; FM radio; voice recorder; alarm clock; support for subscription content as well as OGG and Audible files; photo, video, and text viewing; includes SRS Wow sound effects; good battery life.

The bad: No cradle or line-in recording options yet; iRiver doesn't offer an easy way to get video content for the device.

The bottom line: The iriver Clix offers the perfect blend of hot design, desirable features, and stellar sound quality. If you're looking for an alternative to the iPod Nano, this device should top the list.

best of all



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: ease of use
Cons: no cradle
Opinion:
an all in one winner

 

Almost perfect



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Superb sound, video quality, intuitive user interface
Cons: Video conversion a little slow, seemingly fragile body
Opinion:
Bought in on impulse on a recent trip to Japan, because I wanted something to watch video with.
Prior to this, I was using Zen micro, ipod nano, then e10

Sound quality is, as all other iriver players, great! It also has the excellent recording function, which is a must for me.

But most surprisingly, I'd say, I'm most pleasantly surprise by how "easy" it is to watch the videos, despite the smallish screen.
I use iriver3 plus to convert my video files. While it takes a rather long time, the converted video was surprisingly quite clear.
(By the way, i found that video in widescreen format seems to work best with clix?)

The only downside is, I kept on having this worry that one day I'll damage the player if I accidentally press too hard, coz the body does feel a bit flimsy.

but overall, I'd say I'm one very satisfied customer ^^
