Mp3 Players and Ipod Reviews

Home appliance and electronics manufacturer Haier America is certainly not the first company to come to mind when thinking about MP3 players and portable media, but there’s nothing wrong with a little fresh blood in the market. In fact, a newcomer can bring a certain freshness for consumers–Haier does so with the 30GB Ibiza Rhapsody. It’s a jack-of-all-trades media player that encompasses emerging wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi music downloading and stereo audio streaming via A2DP Bluetooth. The device, which sells for a slightly pricey $299.99 and is available in a variety of colors (black, blue, pink, silver, or white), handles its multitude of features surprisingly well, but not everyone will be happy with its standard looks, lack of audio-enhancement options, and subpar rated battery life.

Ibiza Rhapsody (30GB, black) Reviews From amazon

So i recieved it 2 Days ago and i ended up getting a defective one But Amazon’s customer service is sending me one next day shipping so i can have it beofre my vacation. I was able to mess with the device for a day before it died. Very Easy product to use with a bunch of features. WiFi is def a plus and the bluetooth is great too. Everything was smooth sailing for me since im a rhapsody member already. Only bad thing is it died after tranfering my 6,000 songs….bummer!….Only Recommend for rhapsody to go subscription members…If your not one, become one…it blows itunes away!

Ibiza Rhapsody (30GB, black) Reviews From cnet

The good: The Ibiza Rhapsody offers about every feature in the book, including Wi-Fi and stereo Bluetooth capabilities; podcast support with wireless updating; photo, video, and subscription music support; on-the-go access to Rhapsody; updatable themes and wallpaper; even a basic Web browser. It also comes in a variety of colors and is one of the few high-capacity, hard-drive players available. It’s easy to use, the interface is well-implemented, and the processor is powerful.

The bad: The Ibiza Rhapsody is expensive compared with competitors, and it has copycat looks. It also lacks EQ enhancement options and has a poor rated battery life. Works with XP and Vista only.

The bottom line: The Haier America Ibiza Rhapsody is a cutting-edge media player that puts its wireless capabilities to good use while still retaining an easy-to-use design and interface. If you’re willing to shell out the dough for a massive feature list, give it consideration.
