Firstly, the accesories: you get the usual things, manuals, earphones (with inline remote control, no screen though), adapter and installation cd (not that you need it if you have windows xp) and a usb 2 cable for connecting the device to your pc. There are also some extra accesories, you get a strong carry case (this is good but it has an annoying belt clip that I can't get off, but this is only a minor problem, you can always get a new 3rd party case). You also get a USB host cable to use when taking pictures from a camera without using a pc in between (great feature), a line in/out cable for anologue recording, an external mic (great for recording lectures and business meetings etc) and lastly a great external battery pack. This battery pack is large and makes the device totally un pocket friendly but the only time you will really use it is on a long trip in a plane or car. It charges the internal battery by its 4 AA batteries. It is a worthwhile feature for extended battery life which is always a good thing. There is nothing worse than being stuck half way through a journey only for your battery to run out!!!!!!
Next to the player itself. Firstly, i find it very pocket friendly. It isn't the smallest on the market, but its smaller than my wallet which is always in my jeans pocket, so therefore i conclude that it's pocket friendly. It does have a bit of weight to it, but i like a bit of feel in products like this. I know it's in my pocket, but it doesn't annoy me. It also makes it feel sturdy and well built. Next, the buttons. At first they are a bit confusing, like holding down the record button to get to a menu. It's not something i would think of doing to get to a menu, but after a few hours playing with it the controls become second nature. I will add that reading the instructions is a good idea. They arn't the best in the world but it is useful for learning all the little tricks.
The screen on this thing is fantastic. As soon as you turn it on it just looks like a quality piece of kit, and when using it, it doesn't dissapoint! It is really bright and easy to read. The screen is also good for pictures. I was comparing it to my mobile phone and the picture colour is so much more defined. It really does pick out the colours well. The player also plays video files. You have to download some firmware from iriver.com first which updates the player. This takes no time. It is quite a hassle to change the video type to get it to work but it is worth the effort. Lots of people say whats the point on such a small screen. I've found the screen to be more than capable and was quite surprised at how high the quality is. This is a FREE upgrade, it just takes a bit of work to implement. I imagine the best time for this feature is for going on holiday or long trips. Just for some entertainment other than music (or a distraction in lectures).
Next is the ease of transfer. And ease is the correct word! I had 8Gb of music on the player in minutes!!!!! And i like the file system. It's clear and simple. I will say that it is annoying that you can't make playlists on the player, although i've heard they might make a new firmware upgrade to change this(just a rumour though). But in any case you can make the playlist on your pc and put it onto the player. This is also a portable storage device (external hard drive if you will) so you can store other files and take them to other pc's or just use it for back up. The text viewer i personally use as an address book. I can't think of anything else to use it for. It is annoying though that you can't listen to music when you are viewing text or pictures.
All in all this is a great player. Why does it only get 4 stars? The price. I'd say it's better value for money than its main rival the ipod photo if you can live without the style (i can). However, as with all newly released technology it is as expensive as it will ever be. No doubt it will come down in price, so if you can't afford it now then no doubt it will be cheaper in a few months time. But i found it too hard to resist. And how pleased i am to have finally gone from my old mini disc recorder to what is essentially a multimedia device, not just mp3 player. Fantastic!!!!!
The box has everything you need, including the vital unit-PC connection. The stock headset from Sennheiser is very good but I upgraded to Sony in-ear units which make the sound sensational. So good, in fact, it now makes obvious limitations in the data on my computer, I'll have to re-rip my CDs at higher bitrates. The huge variety of sound options mean anybody should be able to get a balance they like.
One omission, no remote in the box. In fairness this is never listed as being standard equipment, but in the specs under remote control it says "yes". How much would it cost to put the remote in? The charging/data cradle would be nice, too.
I loaded on 1300 tracks and backed up all my photos and data from my PC and it not takes a while to boot up, turning off the database helps the boot time if your tracks are organised into folders anyway.
I find the sound just fine, and the ability to record from LPs by plugging the device in to the stereo downstairs and then carry them back upstairs to split if required, if the LPs are in very good condition the H320 will automatically split the tracks, but it sometimes misses the gaps when recording from LP's as they never really go quiet.
One use I had not considered before I bought it was the voice recording option. The Mic is very good and seems to work very well, when placed in the middle of a table at meetings. Great for proving who said what and the auto level works well, everyone coming over loud and clear.
If you want a device just to play Mp3's this may not be the one for you, or if you judge a device, by its packaging, if you want a device which does several jobs well, then consider the H320 or its bigger brother the H340.
A couple of words of warning, the US version's of these devices do not have the USB to Go, so can not be used to copy direct from cameras, key-drives etc, so make sure you are looking at a UK spec system when price comparing. Also check your Camera is compatible via the iRiver site, if you want to use that feature.
The big question is does it beat an Ipod? No! It is not in the same playing field. The Iriver plays video too, can display photos, has a radio tuner, decent battery life and it can play many more music formats.
What it doesnt have is the fantastic Ipod design. The interface is not so easy to use, and the software bundled with the product is basically just a driver. This media player is for people who know how to use a PC and are relatively tech-savvy. If you are- this beats the Ipod hands down, as you can make it do cartwheels once you have figured things out (You aren't locked in to a straightjacket-type proprietary system). If not- stick to the Ipod- it's much easier to use and you won't appreciate the geek-chic of an Iriver anyway.
The other thing I like is it doesnt have white earphones so you are less of a target for muggers!
