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.- Mark_Louis

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.- Mark_Louis

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.- Mark_Louis

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...- Mark_Louis

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...- Mark_Louis

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...- Mark_Louis

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...- Mark_Louis

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?- Mark_Louis

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.- Mark_Louis

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...- Mark_Louis

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...- Mark_Louis

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.- Mark_Louis
