Thanks for all the input. I have decided to stick with the D-777 for the time being. I don't care if a player can operate for hundreds of hours on a single charge if it sounds like crap. It seems they don't make 'em like they used to!

Can somebody who has BOTH the Sony D-777 and the D-EJ2000 please help with some answers to the following questions. 1. How does the maximum volume through the headphone outputs compare? The D-EJ2000 is powered by a single gumstick battery, so I would be keen to see if Sony can achieve the...

Definitely Sony EX-70 for sleeping in, very comfortable! I can lie on my side and not even feel them, but don't be surprised if you wake up with the cord wrapped 3 times around your neck!

I used to own the Sony D-Ej01, and had the same problem with batteries. If I were you, I would check that the battery terminals are actually making contact with the batteries themselves. Over time, the springy contact thingy's can become bent (especially if you 'drop' the batteries into...

For what it's worth, I noticed exactly the same problem with my D-EJ01, and that was the main reason I got rid of it!

Thanks Poddy, and all the other true believers for backing me up. It's time for us all to come out blinking into the light and be counted! To give you an example of the difference between my old Senn 580's and the Beyer DT831's, I would sometimes fall asleep while wearing the Senns (which...

After using the HD 580's for a year, I have just received a pair of Beyer DT831's (Thanks Jan Meier)....and realised what I've been missing! Compared to the Beyer's, the Senns are very muffled, like listening from the room next door...or the house next door. I know a lot of people here...

I have noticed various reviews of Sony models such as the D-EJ01, D-EJ955 and D-EJ1000 (in such places as Audioreview, Epinions and Amazon) mention a low level, high frequency noise through the headphone output. I own a Sony D-E01 (same as D-EJ01) and when I went looking (listening?) for the...

Duncan, Does the D-E905 have more power (volume) through the headphone out than the D-EJ1000? And if so, how much...that is to say,can you reach uncomfortable levels?(I realise it is a subjective opinion) I have heard that the older models have 10mw output compared to 5mw in the recent...

Hi all, I am trying to decide between the Sony D-EJ1000, D-Ej01 and D-E905 PCDP's, Sony's top models from the last few years. They all seem to have various pro's and con's, which only makes it harder to choose. I would prefer a unit which can produce good volume straight from the...

I have noticed several posts regarding the Magnesium cases on Sony's top PCDP's (D-EJ01 and D-EJ1000) and MD's being easily scratched and marked. Is this true? Could some owners please post their thoughts on this?

Here is the link to the D-EJ1000 on Sony's site..it clearly says MADE IN JAPAN just under the pic. http://www.sony.co.jp/sd/products/Co...000/index.html I'm not personally so hung up on where it's made either, but why is there so much confusion on what should be a simple question...

OK, the D-EJ1000 sounds interesting. I am trying to decide between the D-EJ01 and the D-EJ1000. I have a 'thing' for all-metal cases on my portable gear (used to own a Sony WM 701C cassette walkman, all aluminium casework....beautiful!) So, if someone can double-check if the case IS all...

Newbie Here!! I have been lurking here for months, and made a couple of good purchases as a result (Sennheiser HD-580 and Sony EX-70SL). Duncan, does the Sony D-EJ1000 have a Magnesium "bottom", or is it plastic? I have asked many online retailers this, but I can't get a straight answer...
