iRiver B30

Idiosyncratic as hell, the iRiver B30 is a feature-complete player with sparkling sound, but it won't put a fire up the Cupertino boys.

Reviews

Philips GoGear Vibe

The Philips GoGear Vibe isn't the best budget MP3 player we've seen, but its enviable colour screen, photo viewer and video playback make it one of the most well-rounded in the price range.
Philips GoGear Opus

The slow interface probably kills what would have been an excellent player with decent format support and great sound quality.
Sony Ericsson W508

The W508 is a great phone for listening to music and playing games, but it's yet another Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson that doesn’t really standout from the pack.
Cowon D2+

The Cowon D2+ is a sturdy little touchscreen MP3 player with flexible sound enhancement settings and useful features, but it hasn't changed much from the 2007 version.
iRiver P7

The iRiver P7 is like a beautifully crafted concept car with a frustrating lack of horsepower, but the price is compelling.
Apple iPod Shuffle (3rd generation)

The Apple iPod Shuffle (3rd generation) is not bad as a budget player, but it has too many limitations for us to recommend it.
Sony Walkman NWZ-B133F (1GB)

The entry-level Sony B-Series Walkman is a solid choice for the gym thanks to its ultracompact design, quick charge function, and integrated FM tuner, but beware the eye strain.
Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB

The Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB is the same as the 16GB and 32GB versions of the player except it lacks Wi-Fi capability.
