Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
The iRiver S10 might be small and compact in size, but it still manages to pack in some amazing features--including 2 GB of internal storage, a 1.15-inch full-color screen, a digital FM radio, and more, all in a sleek design. With support for MP3, WMA, ASF, and OGG (including Q10) audio file playback, the S10 supports up to eight hours of multimedia playback powered by its internal Li-Poly rechargeable battery. Easy to use, the S10 features iRiver's legendary iRiver D-Click system interface.

The S10's usability goes far beyond the typical multimedia playback abilities that most MP3 players boast. In addition to audio playback and picture-viewing capabilities (the player supports BMP picture files), the S10 supports a voice recording mode--a great feature for students and business users--and even allows users to use its ample 2 GB of storage space as a mass storage device. Other great features include a digital clock, an alarm, and a timer. The S10 is compatible with Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista, and Mac OS by 10.2 and later operating systems. Sporting speedy USB 2.0 connectivity, the S10 measures 1.65 by 1.18 by .42 inches and weighs a scant 0.62 ounce. The player is backed by a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Customer Reviews

The Best iRiver5
When I made my purchase, I can only find the player in amazon markplace, ebay or warehouse123. Since warehouse123 provides 1 year warranty for my S10. I ordered from them and it took only 2 days to receive my player.

Packing: I enjoyed the packaging. It's a square main box with angled corner. Two more small boxes are inside. The S10 is put inside one box and the rest of the accessories are put inside the other. The packing did wow me as Apple's packaging does. iRiver included some plastic molds to hold the player to make it seem more professional. It's an incredible unboxing experience.

Design: The S10 is one of the most beautifully designed MP3 players I have ever seen. For the interfaces of most mp3 players, there are a few small buttons for navigation. The iRiver D-Click allow me to navigate the interface by pressing the four sides of the display itself. The button-less screen creates a very clean and sleek. Since there are no buttons to press, navigation is done through pressing the sides of the screen. Around the edges of the iRiver S10, you'll find the remainder of the controls. The S10 is actually very usable with one hand. It's simple and easy to control the player.

Sound: It has excellent audio playback and recording quality. The stock headphones are not good enough. I wish iRiver could improve the quality of the headphones. I'm using the Audio Technica Ath-CK7 which helps me get the best out of the player. Sound quality is very good as is normal with iRiver players. It produces crystal clear sound as well as smooth and powerful bass.

Transferring music & Battery Life: I would prefer drag-and-drop over iRiver plus 3. I can simply drag and drop my music into the music folder. Since the player is 2GB only, I don't think it needs any music management program. I love the USB portion of the device. I can just plug my device into any USB port in a computer makes up for the 8 hours battery life and it only takes a few minutes to recharge your MP3 player.

My only complain: iRiver doesn't sell the S10 in Blue color. The sound is great. The player is packed with useful options; FM radio, voice recorder, many EQ presets and custom EQ settings. I find the navigation intuitive and easy to use. The cost is very good for what I get. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

P.S. I need to say thank you to Jenn in pocketables who provides a very detail review for the iRiver S10. I read her review before I purchased my S10. Highly recommend to read her review.

Best small player around5
It's smaller than Shuffle, has a great looking screen, tons of features(FM, record,picture viewer,EQ etc), great no-look navigation with D-pad, and 2Gig is plenty to exercise with. It's so light that the earphones cord weighs more than the player. Sound quality is excellent.

All around great player, beats the iPod Shuffle hands down5
I've owned this now for almost a year. Its not distributed in the US (at least not very widely). The interface is intuitive and the display is vibrant. Its tiny and light enough to not really need a case of any kind but an armband would be nice if it existed. Supposedly iRiver is coming out with a wrist band style one but who knows.

The headphones that come with it aren't great, but do have a very handy holder that clips securely to the player. I can go running with this easily by turning it around so the player is behind me. The FM tuner is surprisingly good and lets me listen to TVs at the gym if I get bored with music.

A big pro for me is that it shows up as a simple mass storage device when you plug it into your computer. Then you simply drag files to it. Works like a charm in windows, linux, and mac. No silly software or DRM requirements. You can optionally use the iRiver Plus software to manage it, but it is not necessary. Double bonus is that its also a 2G memory stick!

A few technical notes; Be sure to upgrade to the latest firmware to get access to better volume, battery life, and playback options. Cruise the internet a bit and you can find software that will let you put custom backgrounds and interfaces on it (very cool stuff). It will also enable you to use any of your existing playlists automatically. Search for iRiver H3mod to find it.

Probably the best part of this player is letting people play with it. Everyone is fascinated by this little guy. Its a quality device with better features than the competing iPod Shuffle and an excellent display.
