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 intuitive navigation system allowed users to easily browse their music libraries, create playlists, and shuffle tracks, catering to both beginner and advanced users.

Storage capacity was another advanced feature of the iRiver H300. It initially came with up to 20GB of internal storage, with options for expansion through external CompactFlash or Microdrive cards.
