    AMP3, Cowon S9 or Sony NWZ-X1060?

    ^ Sad. I've tried some Sony's before, and I really like the sound. Is there a Sony player that supports lossless formats? I've never tried Cowon, but the reviews are very good.

    AMP3, Cowon S9 or Sony NWZ-X1060?

    Thanks for the replies! The Sony website says that the X supports "MP3/ WMA/ AAC/ L-PCM". I understand that WMA can either be lossy or lossless. Does the X support both? I'm worried that the X will not support lossless.

    Best Portable Bluetooth Earphones

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I've decided not to get a wireless earphone. I think for now I have to cope with wires, because wireless earphones are not (yet?) at par with wired ones in terms of sound quality. I'll just get an IEM with a short wire.

    AMP3, Cowon S9 or Sony NWZ-X1060?

    Hope you can help me guys in choosing among the three as my main DAP. I'm after sound quality, not looks. Video playing features are irrelevant because I don't like watching videos in small screens. I don't like a separate amplifier. Price is not an issue. I listen to classical music...

    Sansa Clip+ Hesitation

    I'm confused with the ad on sansa clip+. Can I use preloaded memory cards (e.g., Sandisk's slotMusic cards) only, or can I use an ordinary memory card with my own music? I've read in amazon.com that there's a slight flicker on the screen, and that there is no cover for the memory card slot...

    Review: iPod touch 2G - one year on - SQ, performance and How-to

    I'm looking forward to your review. I'll use it to decide whether to dump my iPod Touch 2G for the Cowon S9. I don't like my iPod because - I can't find some songs in it because iTunes renames the songs when I transfer them from Windows Media Player to iTunes (I use a Windows notebook) - I...

    Best Portable Bluetooth Earphones

    thank you james, mark and qusp(?). The SBH 900 looks nice. I'll try to check it out. I prefer something without wires hanging below my neck, like this: http://www.techfresh.net/wp-content/...rola-s9-01.jpg. By the way, how long is the wire of the Sony Ericsson DS200 or DS205? As an...

    Released: Sleek Audio SA1 !!! *SA1 Discussion Thread*

    ^^ Hi. Thanks for your reply. But sorry, I'm still confused. Do I need the Kleer Wireless System to operate the earphones? Or can the $ 79 option operate on its own?

    Released: Sleek Audio SA1 !!! *SA1 Discussion Thread*

    What's the difference between the "SA1" for $79.99 and "SA1 wireless bundle" for $169.99? I think both are wireless, so why is there a price difference?

    Best Portable Bluetooth Earphones

    ^^ Thanks for the fast reply! No, it doesn't have to be bluetooth. Supra-aural, earbuds, ear clips (?) or IEMs will do. I just don't like full cans for the gym. Thanks for the tip about sleek audio. I've been to SA's website. The products look interesting. Will put them in my list.

    Hi. I want to buy full-sized headphones for home/office use. I like clear mids and highs and sufficient bass. I need something which I can use comfortably for hours. I'll be using my notebook, which doesn't have a high-end sound card. I listen mostly to acoustic, classical, slow rock, jazz and...

    Help in Buying an IEM

    I bought the RE2 last June. It's so cheap yet it's great. But now it's busted. Before I buy more expensive IEMs this coming spring, I plan to buy IEMs priced below $90 (based on amazon.com pricing). I'm choosing among the following: 1. Klipsch Custom 2 ($69) and Klipsch S4 ($80) 2...

    Help in Buying an IEM

    Thank you for the recommendations. I have read reviews of SE530, triple fi 10, Westone 3 and ER-4P..I have to check out the IE8..I'm thinking of getting ER 4P.:-) I have changed my budget. The SE530 is costly! But I've read that it's one of the best IEMs around.
