The Iriver Clix is considered to be the best Mp3 player Iriver has produced. Iriver has upgraded the player with an OLED screen a better design and released the Clix 2 version as well.

Apart from users who have had the unfortunate luck to receive a non functioning unit, users are all very pleased with the small player from Iriver.

The screen is reportedly very good, and sound quality is excellent, taking advantage of the SRS Wow technology.

The Iriver Clix supports a large number of formats, and even though it only plays back videos at 15fps, users have reported no slow downs or jerky movement while viewing movies on their player.

The FM radio tuner has very good recepetion and the Clix offers the possibility of recording shows that are airing, at a very good quality, as users have discovered.

The Iriver Clix is one of the best Mp3 players around, and users are very pleased with its impressive screen, small size, excellent sound quality and large screen.
