Quote: No. Current builds of Rockbox on the Clip v2 and I assume on the Clip+ play about a fifth of a semitone (or about 1.12%) flat. I have an older daily build, 26978, that had the pitch bug repaired and plays in-tune, but later daily builds are back to playing flat. This has something...

Quote:     Headband mod for sure. Headband-modded KSC75 is what I listen to at work. They're cheap, light, comfortable, small, unobtrusive, and sound great IMO. I haven't done any of the other mods, though.   Here's the source for headbands:  ...

Quote:   No. The pitch bug is still there. My Sansa Clip with rockbox version r26458-100602 plays noticeably flat.   The rockbox developers are aware of it, though, and I think they're planning to fix it. There's some discussion here:   http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/10906  

Quote:   I'll recommend a Fiio L1 or Fiio L3. Nice, compact, and well-made.  

  OK - I sent the flashing E5 back to MP4 Nation. We'll see how it goes.     Edit:   Just got a replacement in the mail, so I guess that's just shy of a month and a half. It cost me $5 to mail it back. MP4 Nation said to send only the amp, no accessories. What I got back was a new E5...

Quote:   No - it's definitely there, or at least on the Clip v2. I use it to practice guitar, and with and in-tune guitar and a track I know is in-tune, if I try to play along using the pre-02.01.35 firmware or Rockbox, it's way out of tune. The Clip plays flat. But with the newest...

Quote:     I have a Clip v2, which has (or, rather, had) the "pitch bug". Specifically, the Clip v2 plays 19 cents (about a fifth of a semitone) flat on all files that are encoded at 44.1 kHz. This happens for all Clip v2 Sansa firmware versions earlier than the latest Sansa firmware...

I have a new E5 that I got a couple of weeks ago, and it does this as well: when it's charging, the LED stay on solid red, and hen when it's finished charging, the LED flashes red.  

Quote:   I have a Clip v2 with a version (not the latest) of Rockbox on it. When booted in Rockbox, it has the pitch bug, i.e., it plays about a fifth of a semitone flat. But when I boot it with the newest version of the Sansa firmware, 2.01.35, which came out in March, the pitch bug is...

+1 on the Koss KSC 75. Especially if you do the headband mod. (I found the KSC 75 ear clips to be very uncomfortable.) Anyway, headband-modded KSC 75 are my day-in, day-out phones I listen to at work. I also have Grado SR-60, and I prefer the KSC 75. Not by a huge amount, really, but overall I...

I've had a Sennheiser HD212Pro. In my opinion, they're very uncomfortable and the bass is huge and bloated.

My Clip v2 with the new Rockbox has a "pitch bug" that's comparable to what it had with the previous Sandisk 02.01.32 firmware for the Clip v2. Both play noticeably flat. I have now had experience with trying to play guitar along with three versions of Sansa Clip v2 firmware: a) Sandisk's...
