Hey guys I have one last question.  How would a Cowon X9 sound compared to the ipod classic?  I might be able to get my hands on the 32GB one for a reasonable price.

Quote:   There is an acceptable trade-off for me between sound quality and the capabilities of the ipod classic.  It doesn't have to be as good as the samsung P2 as long as I can improve what I have currently.  I will try rockboxing it and look into better headphones.   Any...

Quote:     The EQ on the P2 is on normal but I don't believe I can shut it off.  I just compared based on several different settings.  Btw.  the iphone 3Gs was better than the samsung P2.     And regarding the stores, I live in Toronto which is a big city so there had to have been...

Quote:     Any headphone recommendations?  I prefer in ear vs. over ear.   Also, does the rockbox basically just give me more options when adjusting EQ?

Quote:   My music tastes are all over the place but include dance music (ie, eurodance, house, electro, trance), rock, top 40, jazz, classical.  I don't think that helps lol.  I will be using it primarily for music (podcasts are just talking anyway so it doesn't really matter).

Hey guys,   I just purchased an Apple iPod classic 160 GB today to replace my old beat up Samsung YP-P2 and I'm shocked at how bad the iPod classic's sound quality is.  Compared to the Samsung P2 it is more distorted, shallow (i don't know if this makes sense), flat, not rich at all, and...
