Broad feature set. Cool design. Compact and lightweight. Lots of sound enhancement options.

No WM DRM 10 support. Bass is a bit weak. No AC adapter. Battery life isn't what's claimed.

The charge/sync cable looks a lot like the one included with the MobiBlu DAH-1500i; it has a 3.5-inch minijack at one end and a full-size USB plug at the other. The F1 is both USB mass storage class-compliant and compatible with Windows Media Player....

La batterie au lithium rechargeable mais non amovible s’est déchargée au bout de 14 heures, au lieu des 22 heures annoncées par le fabricant. Le baladeur se synchronise sans problème avec Windows Media Player 10 et peut être utilisé avec l'explorateur...

Podczas dwutygodniowej pracy na iAudio F1 nie miałem żadnego problemu z odtwarzaniem jakiegokolwiek pliku muzycznego. Zauważyłem jedynie, że F1 odtwarza bardzo niewyraźnie pliki gorszej jakości, co jest zupełnym nieporozumieniem oraz te ze zmiennym...

Plays multiple file formats, including OGG. Platform independent support because it mounts as a USB Mass Storage device. Sounds great, especially when MP3 Enhance, BBE, and Mach3Bass is turned on. Easy to read display

The USB/Power/Line-In and Earphone jacks are the same 1/8 inch type of jack. It could be very easy to plug the power into the earphone and accidentally damage your player. Depending on your point of view lack of DRM support can be an issue

No software required for setup ; Nearly perfect sound quality (I'm an audiophile, so I mean it) ; Load songs as files and they play, like selecting a file from a directory ; Excellent battery life, charges via USB ; Great little USB adapter for...

(NO RMA via newegg) ; Buttons are easily depressed in my pockets, use the "hold" switch ; OLED screen is a little difficult to see in daylight, use your hand to make a shadow

The sound is excellent. The advanced features such as adjusting playback speed up and down work marvelous. Other Jet Effects such as customizable equaliser work great. And for surround effect, well - quite arresting ; Adding your own data folders is a...

In direct sunlight it is practically unreadable. Does not support Rhapsody To Go unlinited download service. No travel case included. First attempt to read lyrics did not work but most likely my fault as i tried to insert a 12 page vocabular text...

solid player overall. the sound quality is great, small design, great battery life, durable. i would recommend anyone searching for a good 1GB mp3 player this is the one for you. you cant beat it with the price and quality you get

when charging in the usb you cant see whether or not the device is finished charging

I would buy this again. Great sound, lots of EQ functions and settings. It gets LOUD and sounds clear when loud. Display is nice, and its alot smaller than you'd think. Its smaller than a large pack of gum. Fits in the pocket easily, and the Hold...

display could be a little bigger ; Playing menu could be a little better organized, but this might be because i havent spent enough time messing with it yet ; Joystick/Toggle stick could be a little, stiffer, bigger or shorter for use "fat fingered"...

1. Size/Weight: Excellent (tiny and light-weight) ; 2. Sound: Better than good, less than excellent with included earphones ; 3. Battery life: Excellent ; 4. FM Quality: Depends on location. Received radio streams are usually quite clear and detailed ;...

1. Lanyard cable NOT included ; 2. AC/DC power adapter NOT included ; 3. Capacity is only 1GB ; 4. No real-time filters to flush clicks/noise in sound files. <- an issue with almost all portable mp3 players
