Review: Horrible -- do not buy; maybe wait for future version - This device basically doesn't work and is poorly thought out. If you don't believe me ask yourself why the first insert you see when you open the box is a bright orange piece of paper saying "STOP! Do not return this product! Call us first..." I don't see IBM needing to put those sorts of inserts into their ThinkPads...because they work. My background is that I have had an iPod for 18-24 months and bought this so that I could use a subscription music service (Rhapsody to Go). This experience has made me appreciate the many features I took for granted in iPod. Generally, the H10 operates like a computer that is being asked to run an application for which it has insufficient memory (if you have ever tried to play the latest computer games on a non-latest PC you'll know what I'm talking about). So essentially this means it acts like it has been hit in the head, being jerky at best and nonresponsive often. For instance, it takes forever to load up a new song on the H10. Whereas on iPod you go from song to song seamlessly, on the H10 between songs you get a whirring and it stops...I guess it's loading it up...and finally, if you're lucky, it will play the song. There is never less than a 30 second break between songs. That's feeble. That stuff needs to be invisible to the user. It would be faster to go from single to single on a real physical jukebox playng vinyl 45's. Also, it doesn't always play the song you expect. Also, the little slider control is frequently nonresponsive. Also, the fast forward, rewind, play controls are hard to distinguish from each other (you have to focus on them, which is hard to do while jogging). When scrolling, you frequently overshoot your target (too sensitive). That's aside form the fact that often it just crashes and won't do anything at all. I guess I should call this number on the "STOP!" insert before I return it but I get the feeling it's going to have to go back. This just does not come up to the level of an acceptable mp3 player. This is a protoype. (By the way I did the firmware upgrade first thing so that won't help.) Now that I realize how great the iPod is relative to the H10, it really makes me appreciate the thinking that went into it. To be honest, would anyone take a job at iRiver if they could get a job at Apple? I don't want to be harsh but probably not. And I think that collective personnel advantage at Apple probably translates into a better product for them in a million ways. One dumb decision was to include several features like photo display and text display that I suspect 98% of users don't care about at all. Basically, people want an mp3 player to play music. Looking at your photo collection on a one in ch screen probably is not a key feature. Instead of devoting time to creating a phto and text service, they should have made sure they had the basic music player working. Duh. [Update: bought a Samsung Yepp and it works well. Very happy now.] Review: MANY MINOR ANNOYANCES BUT IT STILL PLAYS - I have had this now for about 4 months and it seems like every day some new issue arises that makes me wonder if I made the right decision in purchasing the H10. 1. The unit freezes up on a regular basis. At least every couple of days. The only way to fix this is to do a hard reboot (remove and replace the battery). This always works, but I wonder if the time will come when it doesn't. 2. There have been times when I had the unit hooked up my computer to transfer music, and after I disconnected the USB cable from the player, I got a message that said "initializing please wait". Well , I waited at least 20 minutes and nothing ever happened. Again I had to do a hard reboot, and when I turned it back on, all my music had been erased. But when I hooked it up to WMP10 it showed all my music, again when it wasn't hooked up, no files showed. To correct this I had to do a firmware upgrade that erased all the files that were supposedly on there. 3. This player is slow in everything. Everything from changing songs to turning the damn thing on and off. 4. What's up with only being able to in-line record anything with a cradle you have to purchase separately? (for 40.00 bucks no less) 5. I know some people think the controls on the side are user intuitive, but I really think they are in a horrible place and can never find them...when I do, I usually press the wrong button. Maybe this issue is just me. 6. Album art is not shown at all, despite what desertcart.com says. Iriver doesn't advertise this feature though. 7. You can't add playlists to this. Not a major drawback, but I listen to music often, so for instance, I'd like to have a playlist of music that I can listen to in the gym. Then I'd like a separate play list to listen to while in bed to fall asleep to. Then maybe a separate playlist to drown out my annoying co-worker who snaps her gum all day and sings (badly) with every song that comes on her radio. Get the picture? A playlist would be a bunch of songs organized on WMP10 and given a name like "Songs to drown out my idiot co-worker". The quick list function is ok, but that's just what it is. A quick list made on the fly. This does have some pluses to it. First it is compatible with a plethora of download sites. Check out [...] All have unbelievably low prices to download music. For me that is the major drawback of the Ipod, only being able to use Itunes. Actually, that is the only plus this unit has over Ipod. Would I buy another Iriver. Most likely, I have a flash memory player that has been excellent and I give HIGH ratings to that. They just need to work out the kinks on their hard drive players. It seems like most of us are having some sort of issues with them. ## Features - Compact, lightweight 5 GB hard drive multimedia player in Trace Red finish -- weighs only 3.4 ounces - Compatible with MP3 and WMA; also Secure WMA from online services - View JPEG photos and album cover art via 1.5-inch LCD - Built-in voice recording and FM tuner with FM recording capability - Swappable rechargeable lithium-ion battery with up to 12 hours of battery life ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 2.9 out of 5 stars 36 Reviews | ## Images ![iriver H10 5 GB Digital MP3 Player Trace Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/410KQ5TY92L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Horrible -- do not buy; maybe wait for future version *by R***P on May 7, 2005* This device basically doesn't work and is poorly thought out.

I use it every day since i got it and i have all of my friends with ipods in envy. Just about all of my friends who owns an ipod now wants an iriver. The iriver looks awsome to, i love it in trance red. The sound quality is amazing on this, i espicialy like the equalizer on it with 40 presets. The voice recorder is fun to playaround with, espicialy when you can record things on it then pretend to listen to music while your taking a test in school when actualy your listeing to answers instead, just set it to repeat haha, or you can upload a cheat sheet as a txt file on it and "scroll for music" :) works amazing, havnt failed a test since. The photo viewr is fun to playaround with as well. I like how the charger and the usb connector are on the same wire, so you can charge it from an outlet or from your USB port on your PC, unlike the Ipod where you have to buy an extra wire to charge it from an outlet. As for people who said they cant tell the buttons on the side, its not that hard to figure out and memorize. Middle is pause, top is fast foward, bottom is rewind. And as for people who said the songs take 30 seconds to change no it doesnt, it takes 2 or 3, if that, same with the ipod, all mp3 players are going to take a second or two to change songs, the more songs you have on it the longer it will change, it has to scan all 5 gb of data for the one song your looking for, And for people whosaid the touch strip isnt sensitive enough, if you use it for 2 or 3 days it will break in and become more sensitive. Anf for people who said you often skip over your desired song, just tap the botton or the top of the strip and it will scroll one at a time, hold it down and it will scroll by itself so you dont have to keep moving your finger up and down. One of the biggest pluses is the removeable battery. Now you can spend 40$ on a new battery every year instead of sending it in for 3 weeks, getting a used refurbished and most likely non working one that someone else has used and who knows what they did with it or where its been with the most horrible customer service in the world (Apple, iPod) I also like the color screen , it makes it look nicer and gives it a cooler graphical look instead of the boring ipod plain text. The FM Tuner is also a plus, sometimes im just in the mood to listen to the radio instead of my music. FIRST THING TO DO WHEN YOU BUY THIS : HTTP://WWW.IRIVERAMERICA.COM/H10UPDATE GO THERE AND DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE, otherwise youll have to re sync your iriver after you update it, this firmware fixes most of the problems that people were listing such as the play in alphabetical order stuff. Ipod mini lists at 200$ , this lists at 240$, (230$ when i bought it) so for 40$ more you get twice as many features, plus youll have something not many other people have :) which is always a plus, thats one of the main reasons i didnt want an ipod, everyone has one. I hate having something everyone else has. so BUY THIS !!! its amazing and i love it :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/95793942-iriver-h10-5-gb-digital-mp3-player-trace-red](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/95793942-iriver-h10-5-gb-digital-mp3-player-trace-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
