well mine arrived today and i have to say i am absolutely blown away by the audio quality. it is 10 times better than the ipod classic. 90% of my music is hard rock/metal, and it sounds amazing. when i have the bass turned up to 3 it sounds like i have a sub in my head, yet everything in between is still crystal clear. i only have to turn the volume up to 12 with the se530, and that is loud! and for those worried about hiss, it is practically hiss-less unless u listen VERY carefully and thats when no music is on.
I also think there might be 2 versions of the casing, cos the one i received today has a metal back, but i could have sword the one in the sony shop had a plastic back.
Anyway, this is like nothing i have ever heard before, and i can defiantly recommend it. 10/10
