Not too long ago woot.com ran a sale on Maximo iMetal IM-490's.  It was some ridiculous price, like $17 shipped. That's over, and now they are $50-60 on Amazon.   But if you don't mind getting them through ebay, you shouldn't have a problem finding a brand new pair for $20-30 shipped.  While...

Quote: 32gb cards work; use rockbox to avoid the longer "refreshing your media" times.

Quote:   Sounds great to me with OF (sansa's original firmware) or rockboxed.  Some say it sounds better.  Either way, the EQ and features are definitely better, and you can have your cake and eat it too because installing rockbox means you dual boot -- if you want the OF, all you have to...

If you ever find such a beast, let us know if you enjoyed messin' with it.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tXEEZE0rqM     /never liked earbuds much, but have been a big fan of the nearly extinct J-cords for years

I've been eying them a while myself, and the word seems to be that they sound better when a small piece of foam is put in the nozzle, not too deeply to interfere with the drivers.  It's supposed to smooth things out, take the edge off of a treble that some consider to be on the harsh side.  So...

If you use folder browsing which looks directly at any files or directories, then you will see what you are looking for, whether it's on the device or the card.  And the menus scroll fast, even through 16gb worth of stuff.  But you can't look in 2 places at once, no.   If you want to look...

Or not.        Here's the thing: I couldn't help thinking that for those in the know, the price on these just shot up 15 bucks.  If the early reviews hold up, then they will still be a very good deal @ 59.50.  But people who've missed the boat are unlikely to pull the trigger on these...

Pretty good deal at www.woot.com...4gb clip+ for 19.95 + 5 dollars shipping, get as many as 3.   And yes you can rockbox them -- the latest build has been very stable for me, getting over 17 hours of battery life now.

Mine shipped as of about 8:30 this morning...seriously looking forward to checking these out!     Quote:     Raz, I know the presale is over but for latecomers is this $5 credit still good for putting up a review if they were purchased now?   I'm throwing out the question because...

Why not take advantage of the Senn warranty?  In the US I know it's 2 years, and I don't think the CX200s have even been around that long.   If that won't work or you want to upgrade, I have the CX-400s & took some time searching for what I think will be a good upgrade, the Brainwavz M2. ...

  Quote:     Raiko hasn't posted back what he decided to do yet, so clearly he is still mulling it over.    Maybe 5 years will go by and we'll never know.      OT, but one of the best threads I can remember seeing about whether or not a guy would post back or not was over...

My personal audio renaissance began back in 1999 with a Diamond Rio 500 mp3 player along with a pair of KSC-35s not that long after.  What an enjoyable leap up from the yellow brick Sony Sports Walkman I'd been lugging around with me during weekly 40+ miles road running I did back in the day. ...

  Quote: Yeah, Sansa's original firmware for playing flacs is pretty lame for the clip+....maybe 8-9 hours tops, I only got about 7 hours before the battery got quite low.  Luckily rockbox is a lot better.  I've never timed it exactly but I fall asleep with flacs playing and wake up as...

  Quote: I'm in the middle of a project myself and I spoke to one of the guys over at redco on Friday afternoon inquiring about the very same plug...they are out of stock at the moment.  No definitive answer as to when they get back in, he said when an item reads "backorder" it could be...

Quote:   The housings look different to me.

  Quote:   The M1s announced this morning have a different housing and stats than the R02s, and are $15 dollars (minus m2 review credit) cheaper than the M2s.     Quote:   I still like the look & profile of the M2's aluminum housing more, but if they really are the...

Quote: Thanks!  Nice workaround, that will come in very handy, believe me -- your post just earned my very first recommendation.  (thumb/hand icon..."If this is a great post, give it a thumbs up!")   Hmm, the new board here maybe means there are new way expressing appreciation, with a...

I haven't looked around too much but here are some first impressions:   Easy on the eyes Quicker (at least for me so far, even on my older laptop) Wikis are very useful at places like http://sn.im/slknet so I could see them coming in very handy here.   Very nice, Jude.  So far so...

If this model ended up with a similar repackaging at mp4nation like the R03-->M2s, then I'd consider it. Until then, it's worth any minor price difference there might be to wait until my pre-ordered R03's ship, as they have the angled plug and I have always liked plugging this type of jack...

I'll use my KSC 35/75s while biking on the road sometimes, using only using one ear though. This has pretty much limited my listening to non-musical stuff like audio-books, but since I have a pretty large list of stuff I'd like to listen to, it has actually worked out OK because I get to catch...
