Im looking to upgrade my Zune HD to a better sound quality DAP, I was looking at the Sansa Clip +. Do you think this would  be a better sound quality upgrade? I don't care for anything fancy like a 1080p screen or camera or any of that rubish. Im going to be using the Sansa Clip + with the Fiio...

After about 2 months of lurking around this site I decided to finally make an account to ask you far more experienced audiophiles some advice.  I am looking to buy my first serious portable rig with a budget of about 300-400$. Before this the best stuff I had was the Senn PC360 gaming headset...

I'm looking for some earphones, preferably OEMs and not the ones that go into your ear canal (IEMs?). I'm not a big fan of bass, I prefer the clarity in music.     My preferred music is Classic rock, country sometimes. I prefer listening to clear voices like this(...

I was looking at the Audio Technica M50 or Koss Pro DJ100. What else is there sub $120 range for best performance, cost aside? I am NOT looking for best bang for the buck just best performance on the widest variety of music. These will be 100% music only and probably play a lot of music like...

Just ordered 4 items to start off my head-fi experience 1. Sennheiser HD 598 2. SanDisk Clip+ 3. FIIO E6 4. Audio Technica ATH - M50 LE Silver I am hoping this will be a good start. What do you guys/gals think? PS, I know I may not have needed the E6 for the 2 headphones but I had a $50 gift...

My music collection has grown to ~130 gb and is too large for most portable sources.  I am looking for a player that can at least the majority of my collection.  What options do I have?  I currently have a Cowon X7 and am completely unsatisfied with it.  I've also had bad experiences with ipod...

How can I fix this?   When I press the left button and the one button at the same time to retrieve the original firmware, the Clip+ doesn't freeze.   Any help is appreciated.   BTW, those who have a Fuze (not the Fuze+), is the only difference between the Fuze and the Clip+ is the...

I've spent about an hour digging around the forums here for an answer to this issue but so far I haven't had any success so I've decided to stop lurking, create an account and post.    I have an iPhone 4S with a line out dock (LOD) and a FiiO e17 and I'm enjoying the combination. But I'm...

Hello guys,       I was searching for a audio recorder for using mainly in lectures and conferences, but that I could also use, but it's not priority, to record music pratice sections. My budget was something near US$ 200 but could stretch up to US$ 300 if it's realy worth it.       What...

Looking for an upgrade from a Clip+ and one that is in English and hopefully sold in the states or in the UK.   A SQ that is at least as good and neutral as the Clip is my main interest.   Thank You

I just purchased the ath m50's, and plugged them into my sansa clip +.  walked around for a bit while listening to music, and the jack is already screwy.  If i move it a certain way, the M50's left ear will stop playing music.  I then tried listening with another pair of headphones and verified...

Well, about 6 months ago or so, my parents old dogs ate my SA6's. I was pretty upset, so I checked the Sleek site and noticed the SA6R's and the SA7's. A quick look at SoundEarphones showed the SA6R's. So I spent some money I shouldn't have and bought them. It's been so long since I've truly...

Like the title says.  Which would you pick or prefer and why?

Hello,    I have a Sony Walkman NWZ-E344, and the output is 5mw. What is the output level of the Sansa Clip+?   Thanks, RH

Hey, anyone have any suggestions? I use to use my Xperia X10, but got rid of that today for a Blackberry 9700. I need a dedicated music player now. If anyone wants to recommend, or maybe even sell me their used one, I'd be glad to take it of their hands. I'm in Toronto if local.   Anyways...

My clip+ headphone jack is loose I think. Sometimes the music will only play out of one ear (the right one) and I will have to push the headphone in tighter (or maneuver it around) just to get sound from both sides. 1. Is there a quick fix for this? For example, is there something I can buy...

ok, it should be noted that even though this is an audiophile forum, my girlfriend is NOT an audiophile and has no idea about electronics/bitrates/hifi stuff. so audio quality is not an issue for her. it is, however, an issue for me, as i won't be able to stand by and just let her drop loads of...

Or, if you don't know their impedance - how loud do they play for a given volume versus the stock apple earbuds out of a dap?   Cheers!!

A friend of mine has a 4gb clip+ that he somehow bricked. He cant remember what he did lol. I told him Id take a look at it. Any advise or links to how to fix? Thanks.

Is there anything like the Sansa clip+ (small, plays flash memory cards, portable for workouts) that has an AM radio too?  I don't want something that requires wifi or anything, just something I can take on walks and listen to talk radio on.  Any ideas?
