The lineup included models such as the H300, H320, and H340, showcasing a range of features that would set benchmarks for future portable media players.

The player supported various audio formats, including MP3, WMA, and Ogg Vorbis, which allowed users to enjoy their music collection in multiple formats without compromising sound fidelity.
