    Portable Sources for the Budget HeadFi'er

    Where is the Budget Portable Source Gallery? Has that gone. I've been away from the forum a while. Seems like its now all top end stuff. I'm looking for budget/mid range portable source that takes 256GB SD cards. For the last few years, I've mostly been using music streaming apps. I'm trying...

    Robust, tough bluetooth headphones

    One of the kids, a teen is always breaking their headphones. What headphones have you given loads of abuse and they've lasted the longest? I guess somewhere around the 50 dollar mark. I rarely break headphones, so I've no experience of a good robust headset.

    Huawei Ascend G300 -SQ not too shabby

    Some (those of us on  tight budget) might still be interested in this thread. I picked up Huawei Ascend G300 which is a decent budget android smart phone and finding the SQ very decent. Good FM radio on it too! Probably the best of all the phones I've used, and closest to the Sony X or my Clip+...

    Sony X series hold switch also on newer models?

    I have a Sony X 1050 while I love the SQ of this thing, the hold controls drive me nuts.    The hold either works on everything, or just the touch screen. So if you have it set to later, as thats the point of having buttons, I find always drains its battery in a pocket or a bag as the power...

    Do use use streaming services on your portable.

    Do you use streaming music services and/or Internet Radio as one of the primary sources of music on your portable? For office use I was thinking I could MiFi portable and 3G subscription hotspot to stream both to a MP3 player or Mobile phone. Would eliminate the need for local or sync'ing music...

    X1050 thoughts

    I picked up a X1050 on clearance, to see what it was like. Also my Clip+ HO jack is going, and my A818 battery is quite poor these days. I've also lost the clip around the house somewhere. (its so tiny!)  The X has a bigger sound stage, but I'm not sure it sounds hugely better then the A818. The...

    Clip head phone out to hi fi

    I just plugged my Clip+ from headphone out, to the aux of my midi Hi fi, and was shocked at how muddy its sounded. Its it the quality of the MP3's (which i thought were decent previously) or does it need an amp  on the HO ?

    What MP3 players or Mobile Phones have a decent FM reception?   I have the clip+ and its pretty bad IMO. I find the radio on the E71 really annoying. Wondering what I can replace them with.

    USB Charger and Cables for portables

    I charge my portables a few different ways. USB on the desktop/laptop and a few different USB wall chargers. How long the player keeps it charge seems to vary a lot depending on which I use. I've also noticed some cables won't charge and some will. I'm also looking for a new charger perhaps a...

    What do reckon is the best none Apple mobile phone for music? (iPhones been a little pricey). Preferrably with a decent camera and a decent calendar, 3.5mm jack, external music/radio controls. Cheaper the better. I had the W995 and I didn't think the camera was great, the calendar isn't as...

    Cheapo buds/IEMs query

    Incidentally why is this thread not in this forum? http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/ear...-cm700-371235/ While the CX300/PX100 get good reviews in general I find them too bassy, and I've stopped using mine. Which makes me always question reviews that hold them up as benchmark for the budget...

    Fuze vs S639F

    Thinking of replacing my A818 with a S639F. An alternative would be the Fuze, which takes memory cards. I really want something with buttons. I have a 2G iPod Touch 8GB but I tend to use my A818 more for music simply because of the controls.

    On looking at Head Fi after a little while away it seems everyone have stopped using their iPod Classic of all generations to move to flash players. Is anyone still using an iPod Classic.
