SEE PROS & CONS. NOTE: The clamping factor will obviously differ from person to person, but I'm surprised to find little mention of it, as it is the sole reason I'd never think twice about...

When I listened to the sound for the 1st time, I was hit by it. I was punched by the not-punchy-bass. I was hoping it would offer much better bass response than SE315.. equals to Klipsch Image...

Thoughts...and testing
So yesterday i was a quite long time listening
to (as i already wrote) my favorite group, i can´t image a better music to compare or test audio gear: Pink FloydI was really surprised of my feelings and hearings belong those five DAPs.
And believe me, it was not easy to find an real winner, but finally i managed to pick one out of five.
Now guess what i choose as winner for myself

How i tested:
- i used all included earphones with each separately on all five DAPs
- listening volume was on all five the same (as far i could manage to set it almost properly the same), neutral eq where applicable, also with full bells and whistles
- tested usability of all five, including regarding about uses in-car driving
- tested interoperability between 2 major computer os (windows and OSX)
- tested recharging, time to recharge (while listening)
- tested build quality (touch feeling, outer material, design)
- tested versatility of device but this does not go (for me) in final verdict
- music tests all done listening to Pink Floyd (Now And Forever (28 September 1987)*• (Disc 1+2) - also snippets trough Pink Floyd - 2001 - Echoes - The Best Of Pink Floyd
At end, let me tell that this test is amateurish done, just for my purpose, i post here only to share with other users that might be interested.
Have fun and enjoy music

If you still haven't understand, all the arguing in your thread was because you've said "i have MZ-RH1, all modern players sucks, if you want SQ, purchase MZ-RH1". If you would have said "i've compared MZ-RH1 to the following players and here is my opinion", there would not have been such "arguing". In the first case you're a troll, in the second case you're someone who wants to share some information with the others. Do you see the difference?
