DAB Enhanced DAB gives listeners access to dozens of DAB stations and a wealth of programming not available on analogue transmissions. There are a multitude of different stations catering for all tastes and moods - whether listeners want to hear some sweet beats on theJazz, relax and unwind to the sounds of Chill or catch-up on all the sports highlights on talkSPORT, the digital DAB signal delivers great audio quality as well as choice. No longer do you have to rely on your headphone cord as an aerial, the B20 has an integrated aerial, making this a stand-alone DAB radio without comparison! The 2.4” colour screen supports the future roll-out of DAB digital radio EPG* (Electronic Program Guide) schedules. EPG allows you to easily record upcoming radio shows, just like an electronic TV guide.

 CNET.com Review (Rating 8.0/10): "There's no question that this is a superb player. Every feature is well implemented, using the player is exceptionally simple and sound quality is terrific. However, unless DAB radio is your crucial requirement, we really don't feel the huge price tag of £209 for the 4GB is justified..."

 Trusted Reviews Review (Rating 7/10): "iRiver has to be congratulated for creating an amazingly small portable DAB player. Considering that devices like Pure's Pocket DAB required a substantially large pocket, and even the well featured MPIO PD100 left much to be desired in the style stakes, the B20 hasn't so much moved the game on, but has actually rewritten the rules. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the coolest portable DAB player to hit the market, and that's before you even begin to look at the other features..."

 Pocket-lint Review (Rating 8/10): "The B20 is a good little unit that takes the current offering from companies like Creative, Apple and Sony and adds to them with the introduction of DAB and games...."

 Stuff.tv Review (Rating 4/5): "Overall, we’re really fond of the B20. It’s packed with functionality and it’s just a little different. If it weren’t for unwelcome protrusions, we’d recommend it whole-heartedly to anyone after DAB on the go..."

 Computer Active Review (Rating 4/5): "We were big fans of the Clix2 on its release, and since the B20 has all of the same features and more it’s only the pricing that lets this player down. If you’re really keen on the DAB aspect and are less interested in video playback it's easier to survive with the small capacity, and at the end of the day this is still the most feature packed pocket-sized media player we have seen...."
