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...- Sparky191
