We thoroughly enjoyed listening to music on the Rio ce2100; our tunes sounded clear and vibrant, without a hint of hiss. Even the stock earbuds, the bane of most MP3 players, sounded good, and we didn't immediately lunge for our favorite headphones. Speaking of which, the ce2100 doesn't suffer from the static problem that plagued the first-generation Rio Carbons; all headphones we plugged in worked just fine.
Yep, this is one great player. But absolutely everything we admire about the Rio ce2100--its sexy design, great sound, slick interface, long-lasting battery, and so on--can also be found in the Rio Carbon Pearl. With twice the storage space for just $20 more, that's the model you want.
