The iRiver H300 series, released in the early 2000s, represents a significant leap in portable audio technology, appealing to audiophiles and casual listeners alike. 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.

One of the standout features of the iRiver H300 series was its impressive sound quality.
