The SlimX 550 is packed with great features, great build quality and ease of use.
Highs: Small form factor, great features, upgradeable firmware, includes car kit
Lows: Needs adapter for some headphones, mediocre ear buds
Where to buy:
The quality and features of the iRiver SlimX 550 really stand out. It's “the” CD/MP3 player to get. The form factor is perfect with the ease of control, great battery life, great sound, and numerous features that put it ahead of anything else out on the market. iRiver continues to achieve excellence in the SlimX line. With a relatively low price point of $179.99, we believe you will not find a better similarly equipped CD player than iRiver's SlimX iMP-550 today.
