They are approx the same retail price, at about $290. I am thinking about buying a Karma, but I'm probably not because of some quality issues. I have a SlimX 350, and have been pretty happy with it. What are the advantages of either ? I know that the 320 has only been out for a short while. Any opinions?

get the h320 so u can give us a nicelittle review.

You can get a IHP 120 for less than that. (200-250)

Also, I see no point in getting the H320 other than the face buttons. Unless you really need a color screen (most people don't)

well, the plus for the 320 would be the color screen.

the plus for the 120 is lcd remote, and you should be able
to find it for cheaper. its also known to be very sturdy
and stable. Also, if you find the firmware is lacking a
feature you really want Rockbox will probably port to
the 100 series first.

Now the Karma has great firmware and you can get them for
pretty cheap. If you're not really satisfied with the IRiver
firmware features you may want to take the risk.

i own the 120. Recommended especially if you don't care about
playlists.

I prefer the 120, as it's more pocket friendly, comes with an LCD remote (though it's also compatable with the 320), and looks better IMO.

is the rockbox firmware out for hp120?

 

[mosquitojoyride]

kirosia, were can i find a 120 for that price range you mentioned?

 

[Kirosia]

Crap, I don't remember. But I know that's the street value, plus I've seen it new at that much a few times.

 

[neversummer]

The Rockbox Iriver port is still in the early stages.
My uneducated guess is in the next 6 months.

So the 320's USB On The Go function is disabled, right? Any word if we can install European firmware or anything on it to get it working?

Best buy had them on clearance for 215-266 depending on the store, and may still have some. I'd go to every store in your area asking at the portable music department. Ask them to check other stores for stock as well.

you're gonna listen to it not look at it, so i'll say the H120, save the cash and spend it on a better pair of phones..

A big factor for me (though may not be for you) is whether the sound quality of the line out has improved from the h120 to the h320.
