CNet.com 8.7/10 Editors choice
PC World #5 of top 5 picks; 4 out of 5 stars
PC Magazine 4 out of 5 stars
Consumer Reports Very Good
Wired Not rated
Amazon 4/5 (based on 201 reviews)

Ease of Use: You will have to read the manual, there is a bit of a learning curve

Design: compact, light and comes with a 4 line LCD remote

Software: windows based & MAC compatible; no software included uses plug and play just drag and drop music files from pc to player

Sound Quality: excellent

Connectivity: can be used as a external hard drive without loading any software

Batteries: 16 hours. The best of the top three

Value: rich in features; has in-line remote control and FM tuner; use line-out jack for a second set of headphones so that you can share your tunes with a friend.

CONS: The earphones are not the best

Comments: "What it lacks in sex appeal the iRiver H120 makes up in tech appeal." PC Magazine
