 Great MP3 Player! August 3, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've had experiences with Apple iPod Video, Shuffle, and Nano, and my previous Toshiba Gigabeat S30 (which is an absolute iPod killer). The clix2 is overall a SOLID MP3 player and this is my experience thus far:
The sounds quality is great; it contains a vast array of different EQ settings suited for your sound system/headphones.
The menu system is very easy to use with the innovative D-click system. The screen is, as other people have stated, very bright and attractive.
The extra features are fantastic- alarm clock, the fun flash games, text reader, the built-in mic recorder (good for class), the FM tuner, and above all, the ability to completely customize your little clix2. You can change the themes, fonts, the way you browse yours music, and also there is a "Smart Key" on the side of the player where you can program it to do a number of things that best suits you. There are fan based sites that contain slick themes in addition to the nice stock ones.
The ability to synchronize with WMP11 as well good ol' drag and drop is a very convenient feature. It is compatible with my URGE subscription, which happens to be a very good music store (just putting that out there).
Some drawbacks I will point out. (some are reiterated from other people):
4 GB is too small for me, seeing as how my music library is around 13 GB. If you do not like updating your playlists constantly, as I am doing now, then perhaps the Clix2 is not a great idea. But my motivation for buying it regardless of this was that it was a way to make sure my music is fresh (which has been working so far).
The clix2 is smaller than I imagined. This is a small con because it means a lesser experience when watching videos, but it does keep the navigation quick because the D-click system utilizes the entire face place to navigate through menus.
Overall, this MP3 player is very solid. I am only giving it a 4 because of its small storage space. But if this is not an issue for you, then I give my highest recommendations for the Clix 2. This player is an example of one of the great quality products you can find outside the "iPod craze." It will definitely make you stand out when you bust this slick player out.
BTW, one of the reviews mentioned not being able to shuffle songs- this is not true, you just need to read the manual. It's clearly written.
 Excellent Screen and Sound August 3, 2007

I am very impressed with this player. The styling is simple and elegant -- there are no words on the front, not even the silly "menu" word. The screen is fantastic. Sound is great (on Sennheiser headphones -- I have not tried the supplied phones). Vocals are very clear. In classical music I can hear the individual instruments - this level of detail usually requires a good hifi setup. The menu navigation is very simple and easy. On the first day with the Clix I took it running. It passed the test: I could change volume and song track just by reaching into my pocket without looking (but always use the hold button at the bottom if you are running).
Iriver Clix2 Clix 4gb (U20)... August 2, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Bought for someone near and dear who's into portable electronics. She seems to love it - but she 'accidentally' hit the delete key and lost all her music. Fortunately, she reloaded the music in 10 minutes, the Clix2 seems to be a little 'sensitive' in it's functionality.
I ordered it early in the a.m. on 07/28/07, and received it via UPS on the 07/31/07, beating the delivery estimate by 5 days (thanks Amazon and UPS!).
For the joy it seems to bring - I give it five stars...

THE iPod killer July 28, 2007
wow. Think of anything you'd want an mp3 to have, and the clix 2 already has it. FM radio, flash games, nice wallpapers/themes, audiobook, voice recorder, supports all languages, pictures, music, and videos. And not only that, some sites can give you customized flash games, wallpapers, themes, and fonts. Also, not wanting to give out all the surprises, some VIP members in rare mp3 sites can get updates for the clix 2 and realllllllly nice games and customizable wallpapers... what more do you want?
