75% Agrees to above comments

(4 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan 27, 2004
Well i must agree its better than most of the mp3 cd players out there although it took long enough to get to me :s I agree with the positive comments made in the other reviews but a major disappointing fact is that the battery life on does not last more then half the day (its say it should last 55hrs).

I hope that the update's will make up for the lack of battery life :) but i am pleased with my purchase *grudges* (hoping the item i got is not a 2nd hand one) hmmm makes me wonder if i should be online ever again. Maybe others wont have the problem that i have had with battery life.


Great player, rubbish battery life

A great player- great sound, great look, menu easy to use once you get the hang of it! But the battery life is rubbish. Even using the attachable AA case, they don't last very long. But it's small and light so I'll have to put up with it :o)

imp-550 Class and Quality

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Dec 5, 2003
I got my IMP 550 a week ago and all I can say is wow. No regrets. Sounds terrific. Menu system took a couple of days to get used to but easy once you know how. This was my early Xmas present. I love it. It sounds better than my old Sony CD player and streets ahead of my Philips Expanium. Got all the features and I read on Iriver's site that the OGG VORBIS codec is due before New Year. Plays rewritables full of MP3s no problem. Just about everthing is customisable via the menu sytem. Graphic Equaliser etc etc etc Nice case too. Nearly forgot the FM. Clear reception where I live most of the time. Only used 5 of the 20 presets. Buy it..........
