iRiver H340

Excellent sound quality, flexible player, able to play multiple codecs...

Overall a great legacy player, may have been the best sounding mp3 player to date.

Well recommend iRiver H340.

The iRiver H340 is not as stylish as other MP3 players but a lot more features than most. Big online community, Korean firmware upgrades give extra features. Handy for easy recording of vinyl to MP3 and recordings sound surprisingly good.

It's a good MP4 and a great state of an art technology. I would recommanded to anyone who like iRiver product.

The iRiver H340 player was my second mp3 player after Creative Zen. I found that this MP3 player is much superior than Creative's Zen. The sound quality is very excellent. The accessories with this player are of high quality: it comes with Sennheiser headphones, a very good cover, an external microphone, wired remote control and a male-male 3.5mm cable for line-in/out. All these accessories are necessary for any mp3 player.

I still find this player the best. Although it is larger and heavier than other mp3's, its features and quality make me recommend it to users who want performance and many options rather than looks and size. It is like comparing the big DJ headphones with the tiny earphones.

Run, run away quickly. I have had my H340 for just over a year and so just out of warranty. It went reasonably well for the first 6-8 months, then started freezing, skipping songs, not finding songs, shutting down. It then starting dying a slow painful death and was not recognised by any computer meaning I couldn't get any of my 40gb of data off it. It is now completely cactus. iRiver have been spectacularly avoidant and not one of my many many emails, phone calls has been answered.

I would not recommend this to anyone, I will never purchase an iRiver product again, and I can barely say one good thing about it. I gave it an overall rating of 2 because the sound quality is at least half decent. There is nothing else I can say about it that is good or positive.

The iRiver H340 is, in many ways, a superb player which I would wholeheartedly recommend in most departments, but with one HUGE reservation. Its shortcomings in navigating a large collection are so dire, I can only assume those who have had no problem with it only have a few tracks, a very limited number of different albums and artist, or the patience of a saint (and yes I do know how to use it properly!). The problem is that there is no fast scroll mechanism, and the scroll speed is slow to begin with. The result is, if like you me you have several hundred different artists, even scrolling through the artists takes up to a minute, let alone by album or song! It's almost unbelievable how bad the navigation is, and I can only think it was designed by technical wizards with absolutely no experience of coping with a large mp3 collection. Apart from that (!), it's great.

I wanted an MP3 player and basically got more than I bargained for. iRiver H340 plays full length movies!!!

Everyone raves on about Ipods but all my wife's one does is annoy me in it's cumbersome useage.

I have had up to 9200 files (36 Gb) loaded onto my H340 with no problems. The only time I had a problem was when I switched on the indexing, it too so long (2 hours to boots up) that I haven't used it since. The player has a very powerful microphone that I use for record my guitar and listening back. Additionally it can read text files (books), play AVI video at a reasonable resolution which is perfectly watchable. The case is extremly strong and mine is completely strached but this does not detract from the usability.

Plays a variety of formats and has upgradable firmware ( i've just added a video section) by updating to the Korean firmware. All of my friends want one but can't justify the high price. I say buy one at an airport like I did!

The iRiver H340 is the best MP3 player on the market. I have had no problems with it at all.

The iRiver H340 is my first MP3 player and I have to say it is very good compared to what I have seen from my friends iPod and Creative players. The quality and sheer sound far exceed those other well advertised machines.

It couldn't be any easier than a simple drag and drop of an MP3 to your iRiver H340 which is recognised as a portable device by windows XP..

Well worth the money and the added features of a radio, text viewer and radio is an added bonus.

With it's whopping 40GB HDD and the ease of use, this is on hell of an MP3 player.
