OK been reading through this thread to try and get an idea of some reasonably budget earphones to use when I'm not carrying my bigger headphones. Unfortunately this has led me more into confused than to resolution! Headphones I am most used to are Sennheiser HD25. My previous goto earphones...

I did have a look at that one when looking at the Takstar products, I didn't think it had the swivel earpad of the 610 and I believe the same sensitivity and power handling on their website so shouldn't be any louder in noisy environments. The 600/610 seemed a lot harder to find reviews on...

As my Sennheiser HD25 have died on me (I will repair when I have a bit more money) and over the years I've had far too many pairs of them stolen from letting other DJs use them at parties it's time to get another cheap pair of DJ headphones for use now and then to be the general rig 'phones...

Don't like iProducts. I will not install iTunes, I don't like Apple's lock-in and upgrade policies and let's not talk of their support of Foxconn during the spate of suicides a couple of years ago!   The QLS QA-350 looks interesting but barely pocket-sized...

Last three players I have owned have been Sansa (2x original Fuze, 1x Clip Zip) and while there are factors I have liked about them I have decided they are just not hardy enough to buy yet another one! So please recommend me a nice and rugged music player. Note I only require music playback, no...

Yeah I'm gonna have a go at getting Rockbox on it tomorrow. Thanks guys.

It seems I'm very much not the only person wanting these features!   http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Clip-Zip/Sansa-Clip-Zip-Firmware-01-01-20/td-p/270703   I will try updating to the latest (although I don't feel confident they have brought in the features I desire) and then have a...

Quote:   Yeah? So far I had found this site to be the best place for just about anything portable audio. Although with a slight bias towards top end headphones and possibly amplification...     As I only listen to music the general size of the display doesn't bother me in the...

Since my old Sansa Fuze died, which I was always quite happy with, I bought a Sansa Clip Zip and over all am fairly happy with it. There are two things missing from the display that I would really like to have back though, and I have not managed to find them by clicking through menus and...

Quote: Black and white on a colour display still requires three phosphors to be energised per pixel, rather than the single one on a monochrome display.   But if the battery of the Clip Zip is that much better than the Clip+ it's a moot point anyway.

Quote: Fair enough, might give the Clip+ a try then. Worth going to the Clip Zip or not overly if you don't think you need the extra screen? Battery life is more important than screen on a basic music player as far as I'm concerned and larger and/or colour screens generally take more...

Hype about the Clip+?? From what I have read the Clip+ and Fuze+ are both quite poor and don't really deserve to carry the names of the old players.   Unfortunately my old original Fuze has just died so I am in a similar boat and looking for something to replace it with. Can still find a few...

Quote: Are you extracting the urine? Commas all over the place, very often before the words "and" and "but" neither of which should be preceded by a comma in the cast majority of cases.   Although I admit the writing is pretty clear, better than a lot of people in their 20s I see...

Cheers. Although I'm sure I set it to Europe initially this seems to have sorted volume and the option for Normal/High is back again.   The whole thing did crash and turn itself within a minute of changing it and starting to play a mix though...
