Nice looking
Easy interface and controls
Good price for a 20Gb player if you shop around


Bad Points

Keep a paperclip with you at all times to reset.
It does have a tendency to hang, especially when syncing.


General Comments

I really like this device, but I wish it wouldn't hang so much. I have updated to the latest firmware which helped a little (you can download a tool that searches for the latest update for you). I sync with Windows Media player 10 and 11 beta. It isn't a bad experience, but it can drive you mad at times when it decides to hang for no obvious reasons. Surely it's not that difficult to get this sorted?

Once you have your media files on the iRiver H10 MP3 player it works great, and it has given me many hours of pleasure. The supplied Sennheiser headphones are pretty good and the EQ settings are plentiful. However, it has been known to hang even when switched off, requiring a paperclip for the reset button.

In summary: it has the potential to be a very nice device, but it is spoiled by some annoying problems that ought to be soluble. Come on iRiver, get it sorted.
