The editors didn't like

  • Not as slim as some of the competition
  • Lacking software
  • High price
  • Spinn wheel can be imprecise
  • Bundled software is clunky and Windows-only
  • Expensive given limited storage
  • FLAC files won’t play over Bluetooth
  • Overpriced. Touch screen seems superfluous
  • And its easy to overshoot your selection with the cylinder controller. User interface isnt all that attractive—and could be more responsive. Storage tops out at 8GB
  • And theres no expansion slot.
  • Clumsy scroll wheel
  • Scant storage space
  • No link to online store or subscription service
  • Pricey
  • Stark
  • Poorly designed user interface
  • No expansion slot
  • Screen dithers colors in photos
  • Video
  • Touch screen lacks gesture controls
  • Uses proprietary USB cable
  • Only available in 4GB and 8GB capacities
  • Very expensive
  • The Iriver Spinn is expensive
  • And yet it lacks some of the advanced features expected in the price range
  • Such as integrated Wi-Fi or an SD card expansion slot. It maxes out at 8GB and using it isnt immediately easy. Despite the seemingly decent vide...
  • Navigation is unintuitive at times
  • Mediocre bundled earbuds

  • Crisp, color-rich OLED screen; good battery life; elegant look
  • Clumsy scroll wheel; scant storage space; no link to online store or subscription service; pricey
  • The same price as the iPod Touch, but it doesnt come close to competing

  • The SPINN is irivers best DAP so far this year and a refreshing change from the string of budget players released before it. Its built well, sounds good, and sports a one-of-a-kind design with a beautiful display. While this is proof that iriver ha...

  • Beautiful hardware design, Unique scroll bar, Great OLED screen
  • Not as slim as some of the competition, Lacking software, High price
  • It's plain to see that iriver has obviously put a lot of thought into the design of this player, we just wish they'd put half as much thought into everyday usability. There's so much to love about the SPINN, and a bit of an x-factor that makes us want to ...

  • The Spinn is an excellent an innovative PMP, though it might struggle to find a niche between other compact players and high-end, touchscreen devices like the iPod touch. If you fancy a more versatile widescreen take on the Lplayer and Clix 2, it's well w...

  • Iriver has always positioned itself as a premium brand putting emphasis on design and unique user interfaces. Since the clix 2, however, their products have been mostly disappointments. The E100 had a nice design but lacked quality hardware, and the...
