ihatepopupads: I know. It IS a fine unit. I'd like to be able to abuse it just a bit more without being paranoid I'll damage it. It's good for when I'm just sitting down and doing nothing else. Although I can use the Sony when I'm wandering around - if I'm using the Zune at the time, I have to switch units.
Life is hard you know
P.S What happened to yours? Did you get rid of it?
Life is hard! My house got robbed a while ago and the got all my portable audio stuff (including zune 80 and sony 818) plus 2 xbox 360's a ps3 and a wi and the worst was a steve vai gem guitar that steve signed for me
Anyway It was fun to buy some more stuff with the insurance money- I even tried out some new daps (cowon d2 clix 2), but I stick with the zune 80 for around the house and the sony for portable use, but I might sell the sony I just got
and get the 16 gig'er. I think the zune 80 is pretty tough overall and you could always get a case
Zune 80 is smooth, but detailed with iems, I love the sound sig. and sony is more upfront and raw, a good one 2 punch in my HO, now I just have to wait for my pico
bye bye $$$
