I am about 99.9% sure I am going to go ahead and buy the iHP-120. I can't "try out" any of the HD players except for iPod but I have an iRiver now and like it, so thats a plus!

So, should I buy the iHP-120, within the next week or wait a little while for a price drop -- will there be one?

I have an iFP-390T right now so the HD one isn't so important to have now, just something i'd like to have to store ALL my music and files on... being able to go to school and have all my music at my finger tips rather than limiting myself to 60 at a time! Of course, its not like I am willing to wait MONTHS if I do plan on buying one...

So... is the iHP-120 expected to drop shortly (I know iRiver is releasing new products soon -- none of which I am interested in), will the iHP drop at all becasue of this?


Thanks for your suggestions!!!

The iHP-140 just came out, but instead of pricing it competitively with the 120, they just made the 40 giger retail at a suggested $500 compared to the 20's suggested $400. Amazon has it for $300 and methinks that this is the lowest it'll be for a while. Of course, link through Head-Fi if you're buying on amazon.com

Can't buy on amazon

I ordered the iHP-120 today (as most everyone knows!!). My concern now is how is the 'Line In' recording function. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had seen on the iRiver forum that there were some issues with clicking noises on playback after recording.

ecost.com for $350 and they ship to canada. I'm pretty sure that's the lowest it is right now...

Can you take a sample and let me know what you find? I've only used the line-in on my iFP once.. but I would like it to be readily available.. and of quality!

My friend; if you spent as much time researching the MP3 players as I did - You deserve it!!!!

I haven't spent THAT MUCH time (according to me) on the iHP-120 research, but I did before my iFP-390T haha

Is it too heavy to put in my pants pocket and walk around with?

The iHP-120 comes with a nice case, and is about the size of the iPod, but a bit thicker, I think.

 

[KandieMan]

"same" size as iPod 3rd gen right?

My friend has one... i guess its not toooo bad but I tried putting it in my pocket and jumping around (and looking like a fool) and it was noticably weighning down my pants

Be careful...the rebate on amazon.com is only for amazon. If it's not the amazon rebate, could you please kindly link it? Thanks. Go for it. I'm in high school and listening to a song or two between classes is a great picker-upper.

Your saying tha Amazon rebate is only good towards another Amazon.com purchase? Or is it a cash rebate?

Look at the second to last line on the form.
