IRiver America IMP-350 SlimX Review

by Michael Gowan

- Like Apple's IPod, IRiver America's IMP-350 SlimX garners looks of envy from passersby. The trim case of this MP3 CD player is only a smidgen larger than a CD and as thick as two CD cases, significantly smaller than most MP3 CD players. The casing also features minimal functions--play, stop, forward, back, and volume, but no display. Instead, the SlimX moves the display and menu functions to the remote control on the headphone cable. The small LCD screen packs a lot of information into a little area (including artist and track details), as well as a graphic equalizer. You also use it to navigate among the hundreds of songs you can pack onto an MP3 CD. The tiny screen doesn't help this process, though having the information it provides on a remote that you can clip to your belt is convenient.

User Reviews for iRiver SlimX IMP-350 CD/CDR/MP3 Player (iRiver America-IMP350)

Reviewed by: ctarias

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very sleek design, great sound, does not skip, reads any CD. Rechargeable battery and backup AA batteries for long trips. FM Tuner with presets.

Weaknesses: I don't like the earbuds and the remote is a little hard to read.

Overall Evaluation: It took a while to figure out all the things you can do with the remote, but I would not trade it for anything. I like that it reads any CD, so no matter what kind of CD I have in my bag, or if a friend gives me a CD to play, it plays. I have taken it on my vaccation and connected small portable speakers, so everyone can hear while laying on the beach or by the pool. Great FM reception as well if you get bored with your CD. All it needs is a good carrying bag, but this is really a personal choice. I spend some time finding just the right one for me.All in All I have only praises for this player.
