I have my hands ON the Sony X1000 Walkman - Impressions / Discussions - Page 101

Eeeeewwwwwoooooooo.

It's bloody hot here in London.

My cat has been moaning at me all day, it's as if I have to turn down the heat for him. He's upside down in front of the fan now having a wash...

Hey for all the North American Head-fiers. I called my local Sony Style Store and they said they'll reecieve a shipment July 18th. You have no clue how much I loathe all you guys with yours right now. :[ Oh I read through the manual. All 182 pages and they mentioned firmware? You guys think this player is good enough to actually receive firmware updates? I hope so.

Awwwwww. Your cat's a sweetie. I see you pamper yours too, we must be loopy. I have three of them, they drive me nuts.

(Note to self... Must avoid pvssy jokes.)

God it's still backing, just went walkies with the X to burn off three sausages and chips....

It makes me laugh the way we call our walkmans "X", it's like we're talking about a previous partner....

Hi Neeley,

Doh, why did'nt i think of doing that! Ingenius idea, i could do with a second dock for upstairs when on my second rig setup.

The NWU3 has a nicer shiny black plastic on the top part of dock which compliments the X very nicely, where my NWU5 has a horrible rough matt plastic finish which makes it feel cheap and nasty in comparison.

Only Q would be, where would i get a spare NWU5 cradle adapter from that comes with the player??

Well done though Neeley, Sony whould of done this with their remaining batch of NWU3 in the first place!! lol

Thanks FF.

It's funny that you mention a spare cradle adaptor for the X, I was thinking the exact same thing this afternoon. I could do with another one as well. Sony will probably want some silly amount for one.

The X will sit in the dock NWU3 without the adaptor, it wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate one. In fact that's what I'm going to do in the car. I'll take pics.....

Quick! There's 1 left, I just bought another one.

Sooz, where is the other half of your stale custard tart? Send it over please duck, I'm a bit peckish.

Actually there is a firmware for X1000 series, Japan model.
In Japanese.

Sony X was on display at my local Sony Store

But it had weird headphones on display, the over the ear noise cancelling ones, and for some reason the X even at the top volume of 30 sounded so low. I wish I bought my Monster Turbines or something else.

But even then, I can tell that the Sony X sounds more NATURAL than the S639 I have. I know if I had my own headphones it would have sounded even better.

I really like the sound though.

They wanted 500 bucks plus tax...so here it would cost 525...ack!!!

I will wait for mine when a relative brings it across the border in 2 weeks.

cheers to all.

Cheers - going, going - Gone!

Just need to find a NWU5 cradle holder so it will look nice and flush after doing the cutaway section to the dock.

Have added that Argos clearence to my fav seler list as they will always have bargains on there with all that excess old stock left over.

Let us know how your car adaptor plan works out later on then ; )

That is ridiculous. 500?? That better by the 32 GB one. I have to wait 2 weeks and 3 days till my little piece of X comes in. ;]
Till then I'll have to listen to my acoustic driver modified K810i Sony Ericcson with Shure SE210 headphones. As you can see, i need an upgrade in music hardware. lol

It sounds like a very interesting player, especially since it'd be a nice complement to my D2. I like my A818 but 8gb's is pretty small and 16 or 32 would be much better. I'm not too concerned about the other features which seem to be lacking at best but the SQ has piqued my interest.

Do you guys think the Sony ex300's sound better than the stock ones in the x-1000?
