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...

Bought a new Sansa Fuze in the end, after breaking my old one. When I received it and had used it a while I found it had the problem of not always remember where in a track it was after turning off and on and as I listen to a lot of live sets and DJ mixes this is quite important to me. Because...

You not use the Hold button?

Think it was the taking apart that totally finished mine off Used to just be a little dicky at times before but now is dead V2 so can't even Rockbox mine. Looks like View and Clip use same wheel/button assembly so surprised they haven't come up on the DIY repair market. Or am I just...

Wondering whether to just get another Sansa Fuze (unfortunately pretty sure mine is V2) so keep it for spares in case of future breaks or maybe buy one of these E280s and have a play with Rockbox... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sandisk-Sansa-...item5ad0dcf58b Nobody changed controls on a Fuze...

Anybody got any idea of where I might find a replacement rotary control for a Sansa Fuze? Tried searching ebay but no joy, had a quick look on RS but not quite sure exactly what this type of control/button combination would come under in the lists. Any help appreciated.

Yeah if I go the PC route I would obviously be recording as raw data/wav but just wondered as portable devices seem a viable option. Don't have an old laptop to use, quite desirable for thieves and harder to hide than a small portable unit. Don't have transport so taking two desktops there is...

When I say expensive I admit most of the true MDLP recorders I have seen, with LP4 mode, have been professional, rack-mount models and retail at around £400. Also unsure how Sony's LP4 version of ATRAC compares to mp3. IE what would be comparable bit rate for subjective quality. Just had a...

Not sure if this is the best forum for this question but I am looking at a budget recording device. I'll start b explaining the situation. I am putting on a music event with two room in the coming weeks and would like to be able to record the material from both rooms and make it available...

I would suggest posting in the earphone section for suggestions on earphones
