Rio Rio Nitrus MP3 Player (Sonic Blue-90260465)

User Reviews for Rio Rio Nitrus MP3 Player (Sonic Blue-90260465)

  • Reviewed by: popz74

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: price, size, and ease of controls.

    Weaknesses: The earbuds that came with are awful, but I purchased a pair that I like. The battery is a little wierd about keeping its charge if you shut if off for a while.

    Overall Evaluation: I have had mine for over a year. I have used it to run, work in the yard, and I take it to work everyday. So, I have used this rio almost everyday and I have had no problems with it. I have not dropped, kicked, or abused it in any way and it has been well worth the money I paid for it. I am looking at buying another for my wife. No one can beat the price even after a year has passed. Good job Rio.

    Strengths: looks nice, but thats about it.

    Weaknesses: Very Faulty Hardware. I have gone through two of these things. dont buy one.

    Overall Evaluation: I had many prolems with the my first nitrus before it finally just stopped working. which was about a week away from the end of the 90 day warranty. They sent me another one, which only lasted about a month, until it started showing problems, then finally just stopped working again. Waste of $160 dollars. Wondering how a company could keep this product on the shelves. Rio should be taken out of besiness, and their products should be burnt on a stake!

    Strengths: Size: Fits in pocketand everything else!!!

    Weaknesses: none so far!!!

    Overall Evaluation: This Audio player can hold up to 750 songs! I usually see the price at $150.00 or more. I looked around and at JR.com I found it for $110.00 + $5.00 S&H so it was only $115.00! I love it!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: GOOD SOUND QUALITY. I ALSO LIKE THE EQ

    Weaknesses: THE LED IS HARD TO READ, IT IS TO SMALL. IT HAS NO BELT CLIP, THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO VAGUE, I HAD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE ONE TIME, WITH SUCCESS I GOT MY QUESTIONS.

    Overall Evaluation: I GOT THE NITRUS LAST YEAR AND HAVE HAD A REAL GOOD SUCCESS WITH IT. I GOT MY OWN HEADPHONES AND THE SOUND IS GREAT. I CAN LOAD OVER 350 SONGS. IT HAS A EQUALIZER AND A VERY GOOD PLAYLIST PROGRAM. IT DISPLAYS THE NAME OF THE SONG AND ARTIST.
