Sony NWZE465BLK Walkman MP3 player
“ My first impression of a sony walkman e-series was from when i listened to one my friend had in school. I don't have a clue what my impression was though. But some time that year, or early next year i bought one, the latest model at that time. I went home, and copied my music straight on there, just drag and drop. Then is started playing music. The custom eq was...” --Rangotherabbit
Colorfly CK4
“ The sound quality is very good from the line out. I think one of the best sounding DAP here, but for sure in the top 5! The sound is balanced/neutral and detailed, the music background is really black (! later). I can feel real atmosphere, the instruments are in right positions, not "in the face". The bass goes to deep enough without any eq, and dynamic too. (with...” --bitlisz
Apple iPod Touch 32 GB (Fourth Generation)
“ Overall I'm satisfied with my iTouch, I've upgraded from a 2nd Gen 16 G to this new 32 G model and its been great, same typical iOS experience, with all the additions of iOS 5, cameras and an amazing display. I also love the new chrome rim-less design, the screen goes right to the edge. SQ is actually pretty good for an iDevice, with sound check engaged and your favorite...” --Andrewnd
JVC XA-HD500
“This MP3 player was released by JVC (Japan Victor Company) in 2005. It was available outside of Japan, but the supply seems to have been very limited. I managed to find mine in Japan in 2010. I got the silver version. I would have preferred the black version, but it seems to be even more rare and expensive. Listening to the XA-HD500 and comparing it to my Kenwood HD20GA7 and my Cowon S9, I feel...” --Danneq
Apple iPod shuffle 1 GB Metal (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL
“ This is one of my two current iPods (the other being the First Gen. iPod Touch). I initially purchased this model to keep my music somewhere UltraPortable for my jogs and when I'm in my car (since the Touch interface on the iPod Touch is very distracting when you're walking/driving). I find this iPod very useful, since I can throw it basically anywhere and it clips to my jeans when...” --chumpas
Kenwood HD20GA7
“I bought this one used. I was curious about these rare Japanese MP3 players, other than the more well known Sony and to a lesser extent Toshiba. I managed to win a black Kenwood HD20GA7 on Japanese Yahoo auction. When I first listened to it and compared it to my other MP3 players (Cowon S9, Sansa View, Creative Zen Vision: M & Creative Zen Touch), it seemed to have a much more smooth and...” --Danneq
SanDisk Sansa Express 1 GB MP3 Player (Black)
“Got this mp3 player because it's got a microSD slot and the battery lasts a good six hours even with the volume maxed out (when I use my full-size circum-aural phones) Got it to work with an 8Gb SanDisk microSD HC (class 6) The firmware is updateable (although there hasn't been a new version released for quite a while, since this model has been discontinued by SanDisk) I recommend this...” --johnyo
Apple iPod nano 8 GB Silver (3rd Generation) OLD MODEL
“ So when my old sansa c240 with an extra 2gb card and rockbox firmware crashed I needed a new .mp3 player for use mostly through a car radio in a scion xb. I had been wanting an ipod for many years but had been discouraged by price mostly so I finally placed a bid on this model and won it on ebay. I was not expecting it to be as loud as it was with my cheap canal phones but it rocked. I...” --ptrflrs
Sony NWZ-A818 8GB
“ I've owned 4 of these players now, not to say four have broken but I went through a bit of an ebay buying spree and ended up with several at once. Compared to newer players they are left wanting in many ways, sound quality isn't as good as my a846, for example. Battery life isn't as good as some players, especially when they are more than a year old. The 8gb capacity of the largest isn't much...” --Marcus_C
Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) OLD MODEL
“ This is one of my two current iPods (the other being the iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen). I have to confess, I found this lying on the floor in a parking lot at 3pm. I waited for like thirty minutes talking to my friend to see if someone would come back so I could return it, but nobody came back. It didn't have a lock code, so I went in to see if I could use something to return it but it only...” --chumpas
