Reviews of the iRiver Clix (8GB, second generation)

    CNET Review

    April 25, 2007

    The Good: The next generation Iriver Clix is even sleeker and slimmer than its predecessor, but offers the same unique and intuitive interface and stellar audio quality. This player comes packed with extras such as an FM radio; a voice recorder; an alarm clock; support for subscription content as well as OGG and Audible files; and photo, video, and text viewing. The Clix includes SRS Wow sound effects, it has good battery life, and it's priced competitively.

    The Bad: There's no cradle or line-in recording options for the new Clix yet, and Iriver doesn't offer an easy way to get video content for the device.

    The Bottom Line: The Iriver Clix offers the perfect blend of hot design, desirable features, and stellar sound quality. If you're looking for an alternative to the iPod Nano, this device should top the list.
