iriver E150 8 GB Digital Media Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had an iriver e100, which is very similar and is an older model. It was lost or stolen, and I got a good deal on an ipod nano, so I bought the ipod. The ipod has a cooler interface with its jog dial, but that is the only thing I like better about the nano over the e150. The ipod has a built-in camera and video recorder, but I have a much better quality camera on my cell phone, so the ipod camera does not get used.
Most of my audio files are in the ogg format. I have movies that are in the mov, avi and wmv formats. The e150 plays all of these formats,and plays mp3's and flac as well. It comes with video conversion software to convert movie files to the wmv format optimized for the iriver's screen. This reduces the size of most avi's to abut 1/4 of the disk space of the original.
The battery life is very good. I can watch 2 movies that are about 2 hours long each on a fully charged battery. The battery lasts a lot longer when the screen is off and I am just playing audio files ( I am guessing, but I estimate the battery to last about 10-12 hours when just listening to audio.)
One standout feature for the e150 is the line-in jack. I can record from about any source that has line-level out. There is also an internal microphone, so I can use that to record as well. The internal mic does surprisingly well. I have recorded several lectures, and the recordings were very clear.
For me, this is a great player. If this one gets lost, I will replace it with another iriver e150.
