Rio Cali: For The Athletic

The same thing all over again. The Cali has identical functions, only its looks and size are different. It's a bit bigger with a shape and colors aimed at athletes. The 256MB version is military green and the 128 bright yellow. Rio is fielding Nike and Philips look-alikes here, and even has an armband for joggers. Its size means it can take a bigger screen which is even clearer. The rubbery finish looks better than the one on the Chiba. My preference goes to the Cali, identical to the Chiba right down to the price, so I'll not go over the features again. Unfortunately, Rio had the bad idea of equipping its flexible ear-hugging headphones with mere tolerable sound quality, which pales in comparison to what the Sennheiser's headphones offer.
