I just burned through my second pair of Jaybird Freedom headphones in 6 months (that's whole story in itself). I'd like to stay away from Jaybird, but I would be interested to hear if anyone has experience with the Jaybird Freedom "Sprint" or "BlueBuds X" (Jaybird has offered me 10% off).  ...

i thought it will be nice to have a portable dedicated music player like how iPod originally was. No videos, apps, or games, or even wifi, but top sq with LOD, optical and USB DAC out and all digital format supported including 24bit/96hz format. I'd like believe there is a market for it me...

Hi. i own UM2 and im very pleased especially with comfort. Im aiming for UM3x. IS anything better out nthere....im out of the loop kinda   NO Shure recs. Dont like them   Budget: 350$ ...ish

well I got the sony x and it has been great but I seen hifiman have released a new player   so the real question is, is it worth the upgrade from my Sony x?     Thanks!     also will the hifiman be able to play Flac?

Hi guys,   I am interested in either a sony walkman s or x series. The only thing important to me is sound quality. Is there a discernable enough difference sonically between these two?   I have an Imac and an e5 fio & ibasso D4 mamba. Using Audio Technica ath m 50 headphones. I listen...

Hi, Im just debating whether or not to sell my Sony X for a Zune HD. I realize how amazing the SQ of the Sony X is but the Zune is very enticing. I believe the Zune will have a good SQ as well and its more of a all rounder device such as the ipod touch. Thanks

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a Sony X walkman to use with my RE0 earphones but I don't know what sort of amp it would benefit from.     I've read every thread I could but some people say any amp under say... iBasso D4 or Headstage Arrow 12he quality won't really make the sound and better...

I use the included NC iem with my Walkman X when travelling (NC is definitely the lesser of two evils on a noisy airplane flight IMHO). I've searched on Head-Fi, the Sony site, and google but I can't find replacement NC iems. I found several Sony NC iems, but those included the electronics for...

What portable amplifier do you guys think is a perfect match for Sony X series walkman?

currently im using a clip+ with an alo rx and some old shure iems or my hfi-780, i will be buying either dba-02 or ck10  iems to use with my setup im just stuck between a portable source now and im not sure which, i dont really listen to flacs but i wouldnt mind having the option open, and i...

I'm thinking of getting new DAP to feed my IE8s. I've heard Sony X and as it sounds awesome with them, I'd like to have a bit more space to use. Also, as I use Mac and iTunes, another iPod would be pretty comfortable thing. I don't really want a Touch - I own iPhone 3GS and it's enough for me...

I'm looking to upgrade from my nano4 to something much better with a huge soundstage.   My preference in order of importance   - soundstage, imaging (seperation and placement) - details and cleaness / good UI like nano4 where I can select songs in any album within seconds, total...

What do you guys think is better quality sound?  Do you think S9's FLAC capability is an upgrade from 320kbs sound outputted by Sony X series? 

Hi!, which do you think is better between the two? i was looking at the Sony site and compared these. they seem very identical with the difference in looks and the touch screen for the X series. which do you think would be the best bang for the buck?

After a year of enjoying my X1060, I turned it on yesterday to find it won't load past the boot screen. Been searching for all weekend and nothing recommended (reset button, let battery drain and recharge, format disk, etc.) works. My computer recognizes it when plugged in via USB and file...

Hi there, I'm looking for an mp3 player, something that sounds "excellent". The headphones I would like to use on it are Grado's SR325is. The music genre I listen to is this; Ambient, Classical, NewAge, Hip-hop.   I've been using an Ipod touch (first generation) for a couple of years...

I use Ultrasone HFI-780 headphones and all sounds great with the HP out.  In fact, to me, it seems the Ultrasones unamped sound better than when I use my SRA71A through the HP out.  My question is what effect a LOD has on the overall sound quality of the Sony X series?    Thanks, Chris

Hi   As the title suggests my sony x series Walkman has been lost for all eternity (along with very expensive hi end headphones!) and I need a replacement. I cant stomach paying £150 for the newest A series Walkman, especially as that is 16gb and my x was a 32gb so I was wondering if any of...

UPDATE 19TH MAY Since this thread is already getting quite long, and everyone has a million questions - walkingman and I thought an FAQ would be a good idea for quick access to things we know about the X1000. All credit goes to walkingman since it was all his work and absolutely none of...

This is a quick comparative mini-review of the "7G" 6G revision 2 2009 iPod Classic, iPod, Sony X1060 Walkman, and Sansa Fuze v2. The scope of the review will be very narrow henceforth the results are only applicable in the way the equipment was used, i.e., I am not using IEMs. To give you some...

Hello guys, Im confuse buying t51 or Sony x series, so to make my decision which should I buy, I got a couple of question, here it is: What is slacker...? Does sony X series support a MicroSDHC or SDHC card or Memory Stick pro duo or M2..? What do you meant by iTunes use on Sony X...

The Sony x-series seems to have good feedback here but I also read that it has a strong hiss, is this going to be noticeable or is it limited to iems which are more revealing of this?   Solved.

Can anyone point me a link to buy Sony X 1060 leather & silicone cases? The ones i found in eBay and PDAir are bulky, although the leather of the PDAir seems very good, but i really don't like the way they close. Thanks.

Hey,   I need some advice.   I'm seeking new earphones to fit my Sony. I've been using Shure SRH440 for a while, but i decided to sell them and to make my portable set more ... portable. I've got added NC-020 as well, but they sound a bit crappy to me. My favourite music genre is...
