Customer Reviews

Fantastic MP3 player!!
After reading a very favorable review of this unit on CNet, I purchased the 2nd Generation iRiver Clix 4GB player for $170.00.

By way of background, I own a Creative Labs ZEN Vision M 30GB player and my two daughters each have iPods (one has the Nano and the other has the 8GB model). I bought the iRiver Clix 4GB 2nd generation player for my son for his 12th birthday and I just have to say: "I REALLY LOVE THIS UNIT"!

Of all the MP3 players in our home now, this one is the easiest to use and the AMOLED screen is beautiful. It is sleek, easy to operate, has a beautiful display and interfaces well with our Windows-based PCs (drag and drop from Media Player with no hassles). The commands are very intuitive and well-organized. It's functionality can be mastered very quickly.

The IRiver Clix displays the album artwork as well as time, date, track info, etc on the screen during song playback, which is a really nice feature.

This unit is small and easily slips in a shirt pocket yet the screen (2.2 inches) is still big enough to render great images (album art work, pictures, etc). This unit is visual eye-candy! The album artwork and other track info sits nicely atop some really cool and colorful (user changeable) backgrounds.

I could not be happier with the ease of use of this device and it's user-friendly functionality. Honestly, someone in iRiver's marketing department should be fired because this is a wonderful product that has not received near the visibility it should. Shame!

No complaints on this player thus far. A+


***** UPDATE AS OF MAY 2008 ******

10 mos into the life of my iRiver, the sound went out. I will admit, despite loving everything about this unit, I was afraid of what I might experience with their customer care - given some of the reviews I have read. Here is my experience (circa May of 2008):

I called the US customer support number. They answered on the 2nd ring (no hold time at all). I explained the problem and the troubleshooting I had already done. Within a few hrs, they sent me an email with a RA# (return authorization) and instructions on what to do. I mailed them my unit via USPS certified receipt. Within TWO business days of them receiving my iRiver, I received an email from them which contained a UPS tracking number from for the returned unit. They literally repaired the unit within a day or two of receiving it. (the note they sent back to me with the repaired player indicated the headphone jack plug was replaced).

So start-to-finish, this entire process took just over a week. I was VERY happy.

It seems iRiver is paying attention to the comments about their customer service. Unlike those who have gone before me, I would give my experience with iRiver Customer Service a solid A.

Best 4gb flash player.
You can't beat this product on features. It packs in much more than the equivalent Ipod that most people will end up buying before doing the research on other brands. You can just read product descriptions to find out the features.

I just want to point out the driving factor in my purchase. The feature that sold me on this player over all the others. The D-click interface is /ideal/ for exercise-use.

You can find the sides of an mp3 player easily, without looking, while bouncing around on the run, no problem. With the arm strap I can even navigate this thing using my chin with no trouble. I don't have to feel around for buttons or even look at it.

Nifty! Small, clever, with a good FM radio.
Terrific looking, easy to use with great features and excellent sound. I enjoy radio, so this is always the deal-breaker for me and the Ipod. Very good FM reception with preset features. Frequent firmware updates available. This little Clix is also a great companion for your audio books - besides using its bookmarks, you can speed up some of those slow-poke narrators!
