Same problem here, tried Powertech 800 and 900mah rechargables

Looks a bit closer in shape to the iPod Shuffle 2G

I haven't measured exactly, but I get at least 12-15 hours per charge out of Lenmar 1000mAh AAAs.

I thought it was implicit, but to clarify: I get 12-15 hours of performance that is on par with alkaline AAAs out of the lenmar rechargeables--i.e., no crackles or pops.

I've been using the same 30 pack of energizer AAAs since I bought the E3..it was half gone by the time I got it and there's only one left now, and a brand new one just put in it yesterday..not too shabby. I only have to change a battery once every 3 or 4 days

I think japc is referring to the fact that you have to change the batteries out, the E5 has its own charging circuit and li-on battery

No, I was refering to the fact that some rechargeables make the E3 misbehave with the described pops and cracks. And that being independent of how much the batteries last, of course.
Anyway, there seems to be a synergy problem then.
But it's nice that E5 will have a recharging circuit. As long as they keep using AAA. Will they? Proprietary batteries are such a pita (to replace).

The E5 is going to have a built-in lithium-ion battery, like most mp3 players have nowadays.

By the way, has the HP-M1000 sound improved with the E3? Read it was kinda bass shy.

Yeah but its a bit overdone. The E3 certainly gives it better bass but then you lose some midrange and the sparkles are less sparkly. I spose the bass really only comes out when amped properly, like other people with the same headphone have on this forum. Also depends on the recording too, on some recordings the bass is fine through the SVDAC05 such as Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams

I'm new to all this stuff. I think I'll wait for the E5 to be my first amp instead of buying an E3 right now. I hope they have the same colors as the E3, I want a black one. *waits patiently*

Yeah I was considering doing that too. But I'm at a point where every dollar counts. XD I'll probably end up getting it anyways though, just to compare the two. Just not right now.

Then will it be good paired with KSC-75?
