I jumped off the irver ship onto the ipod ship last year. I have many fond memories of my h120, it was a very good player. But it is like thinking of an ex girlfriend when you have a new love, some good memories, but the comparisions wear thin as the new bird is better and an improvement. Why...

Neither, 320 aac is just stupid, no need to go above 198, if you ABX all bitrates i would wager you would find no difference between 198 and 320, in fact after i abx'd i found 160 to be transparent. Lossless is just daft as well, huge space for little sound difference. ABX some files (go to...

What is more annoying is that with the back light on after full charge it stays on full for maybe 10 mins, I have now have the back light on for 30 mins on the final red bar, surely this is a messed up battery meter? Will they replace for this, maybe a daft question. Player is now at 7.5 hours...

Current battery time on shuffle is 7 hours, taking it back tommorow this is pathetic. If i use it i.e changes songs, with light comming on etc it is a lot less, dodgy battery.

Battery drained down twice, also time it on a shuffle it was about 10 hours.

I have a 5g ipod, after it is fully charged and I start playing (no backlight) the battery meter only stays on full for no more than 20 mins. Anyone else have this issue? Also I had encoded at 320, but scrapped that as it killed battery. My initial impresions of the 5g were good and still are...

Just got mine today, orginally ordered DT231's (stock issue so I swapped to these) intermitantly as I intend to spend a lot more in a few months time. Initial impressions are good, we give more indepth impressions next week when they have had 100+ hours of play through them. But for price I...

The quality comes from the encoded source, and the headphones, I was happy with my iriver h120 with mp3's @ 224 with senns mx500's. Now I am even happier with 5g with mp3s encoded at 320 via lame/eac.

Just ordered a pair, be here tommorow will let you know.

Just about to buy some DT770 PRO, as I am new to all this I was curious as to whether I would need a portable amp for my ipod video to run them? If so any advice, am on a tight budget, convincing my wife is no easy feat.
