MP3 Players - iRiver or Samsung?

mrs brody · 15-04-2006, 15:21

I want to get a new mp3 player and am currently tied between 2:

Samsung's new player to rival the iPod nano

or

iRiver H10

The Samsung is more expensive but smaller & looks smarter, whereas the iRiver is bigger in size but better value for money (6gb for 117.00)

Does anyone have either of these player, and what are your thoughts on them?

Thanks!

I have the iRiver H10 and it's an excellent piece of kit. The sound is good and loading songs onto it is a piece of cake. I would certainly recommend it.

Where is the h10 available at £117?

www.dabs.com

Are doing the 6gb ones for £81.05 (including VAT) at the moment! Out of stock though ..... does imply more will be coming in though.

Cheapest place that has them in stock (on Pricerunner anyway) is rankhour.com at £110.98.

Thanks. I'll keep a look out on the Dabs site

How does the iriver rate? Ive heard positive things, some say its better than the iPod some say worse. Ive heard its very fragile which worries me?

Never owned one but heard plenty good things about them.

Aparently, the fragility was an issue with early models, the more recent stiff is meant to be more robust.

Looks a good player for the money.
