Youll either love or hate the chocolate brown colour of iRivers E100, but thankfully its also available in black or pink. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the included earphones. They sounded rich and detailed and produced particul...

iRiver makes some slick and stylish portable music and media players, but the iRiver E100 isnt at the top of the list. Between its unprepossessing industrial design, ho-hum audio, and difficult user interface, we didnt find much to recommend it. Yar...

As a fan of irivers products in general, I have to say I expected something a bit different from the E100. When I first spied this player on their website a few months back I was anticipating a slightly more capable unit. However, it appears that iriv...

But, all-in-all, the E100 is not a player I'd be happy recommending. Apart from its good quality audio output, decent range of features and Flac support, there's very little about this player that makes it stand out from the competition. And it has its sh...

The iRiver E100 has a cheap, plastic feel, and the interface is very basic. The clickpad is not totally responsive, and some navigation is sluggish. D-Click navigation isnt optimal for the control pad setup. No integrated podcast support.
![Bottom line](/static/images/reviews-bottomline.png)
The iRiver E100 is a decent choice for people who want a ton of features in an easy-to-use package, but if youre after speedy navigation or top-notch sound quality, look elsewhere.

iriver knows how to make good portable media players, like the venerable Clix and the Clix gen 2, so the E100 is a bit of a disappointment. It works—just not gracefully or intuitively...
