Only listening to the device on full volume in a dead silent room gives you a semi decent listening experience. The audio quality on the headphones is quite decent but the speaker is definitely weak and unpronounced. I use my iPhone's charger to charge this device (USB Charger with 5 volts output with 1 Amp total output). Battery life was quite good though the bad news is that this player comes with no wall charger and must be charged via a PC or Mac's USB port (Powered of course).
#Linein mp3 portable#
The player can be used as a portable hard drive (Obviously). Keep this memory for adding lengthy movies where you may store 5 - 6 full length movies that are easy to access on this media. I have used a 4gb micro sd with no problems. The problem here is that files on the micro sd are not read in the database for browsing by track artist album etc but has to be accessed rather crudely through a file manager.
#Linein mp3 upgrade#
The expandable memory slot is an advantage and a easy way to upgrade this player to double its capacity via cheap micro sd cards. It is not at all complicated though menus require a lot of clicks left and right to get what you are trying to do. Though this is unorthodox the navigational "D" menu took me a day to master and can be controlled quite easily after this initial learning. There are many reviews that oppose the navigational buttons on the E100 (Left and right buttons control settings and back to main menu functions while up and down control the track / video / photo forward or backward). Using a headset I recorded a 1 hour audio lecture of unmatched quality and later edited on the PC for the sections I wanted out. One of the best features the E100 has is the fact that it can record FM Voice and Line in Directly to its internal memory and saves it in WMA format. It also has a full range FM tuner that allows 20 presets which is a great feature. In addition to this it play Windows Media Audio / Video Avi's (Xvid Compressed) Mp3's BMP's JPG's PNG's Text and more. But the iriver is a genius with file formats and plays many formats surprisingly plays 700mb video files encoded with xvid (video) and mp3 (audio) quite smoothly. Unfortunately the speaker has quite poor volume (Nothing compared to the competing Samsung S5 or K5). I primarily bought this device for its built in speaker to listen to audio books. This lightness maybe preferred by many users but I find it too light (Forgetting its with you and almost loaded it into the washing machine also feels a bit cheap because of its weight). The player is also extremely light much lighter than any of the competitors (iPod Nano Sandisk Sansa). Leaves fingerprints on the black surface but doesn't really standout as the unit is not polished to a high gloss. I bought the black one which is made in a matte plastic which I am very satisfied with. It comes in many colors so choice of color should not be a problem. This is a little device (See posted photo in user images) similar to the size of a credit card. Let me start this review by saying that I'm an above average user who has used a plethora of media players out there so my reference point maybe a little different from yours.
