    [NEW] Audio Technica CKR series (CKR10, CKR9, CKR7)

    Weighing in here since no-one has mentioned the budget CKR3.   I just got back from Japan and I picked up the CKR3 for about 21,000 yen, which is about $20. I wanted a cheap set of walk around headphones for my phone that had a bit of isolation. So far I'm really enjoying them! They are...

    Review: GoVibe Martini+ Amp

    I just got one of these from Jaban in Melbourne, Australia (they just opened a new store). I'm coming from a Cmoy with a burbrown chip in it. These amps are really nice and detailed! They have a really wide and airy sound, very clean and dynamic.   Compared to the regular Martini, they have...

    Sony S755 Walkman initial impressions

    Well, it's been one week, time for an update! I'll go the things I've found, comparing it to my old Sony s616 and my Cowon D2+ (which i no longer have). Here's a couple points I've found:   Playlists - the good: yes it supports playlists on the go. the bad: it only lets you add one song at a...

    Sony S755 Walkman initial impressions

    chafingbuttocks - agreed, my experience with the s755 is that it's no good with full size headphones... but the s616 was the same too. I'm going to get a LOD later so I can at least run my M50s and DT880s if I want to. My experience with my PK3, KSC75s and UM1s however has been pretty positive...

    Sony S755 Walkman initial impressions

    Thenightman - it's not bad with the m50s, but it seems to be lacking power compared to my old cowon d2 or my ipad. This makes it a bit loose and flubby. Same with my dt880. I never got the impression that the sony's have very powerful amps, they seem to be earbud or iem monsters, but no good at...

    Sony S755 Walkman initial impressions

    Marcus_C - It came with a dock connector, but i'm not too sure about dock types or if it's compatible. I've got one of those Suntac line out cables for my S616 in the car, and the S755 works with it, charges it too. The connector and USB cable are exactly the same as the others. The guy at the...

    Sony S755 Walkman initial impressions

    As requested, I added lots of interface pics :D   The thing that looks awesome is the animation on this thing, it looks modern and smooth.   DaeO - start up time when you first copy new files is about 20 - 30 seconds to add ALL your music. If you add a folder after that...

    Sony S755 Walkman initial impressions

    They'll probably never support FLAC, I've never been one for lossless. I had a bunch of FLACs on my Cowon D2, but with only Yuin PK3s or Westone UM1s, there's no way I'd be able to tell the difference.   Kiteki - They've got the same sort of acoustic modelling things as the original S...

    Sony S755 Walkman initial impressions

        I picked up this baby yesterday from the Sony Centre in Melbourne, Australia. It was the last 16 gig left in stock. Price was AU$199, which is AU$30 cheaper than a 16 gig ipod nano.   I haven't found anything on this model on the forums, so I thought I'd drop down some initial...

    Audio Technica ATH-ON3 [Pictorial + Impression]

    I scored a set of these in Hong Kong... very nice looking! Very wide soundstage, light but punchy bass, recessed highs but very nice and detailed mids. I find they're a bit hard to stay on my ears though, i wish the pads were a bit fluffier... they're rather hard (not as cooshy as they...
