I'm looking for a cheap, small/compact MP3 player that must have these features: -full android (so I can download apps) -speaker (so can be used as alarm clock) -descent battery/stand by -small / compact I know that a phone solves these issues, but I need something that technically isn't a phone.

I have the Cowon Plenue D, and was wondering how this compares SQ wise. Do any of the testers have both and could give me some input?

Very intrigued by this unit. Any ideas how it compare with the plenue D? On paper, this one has better screen, volume control knob, Bluetooth. And the cowon has waaay better battery life. But what about the SQ?

So i'm looking for something for around 100, give or take 10-20. I've never uses IEMs that run the cable over the ear, like shure, so I'm a bit reluctant about this style. Not out of the question, but just wanted to put it out there. So far I've settled on ath-ckr90. They got them on ebay for...

Anyone know of a speaker that's similar in SQ and size to Bone Soundlink Micro, but has a 3.5 mm input jack? This is the the beast sound I've heard of a small speaker like that. And it's nice and light too. But it has no jack!! I need something to hook up to my Plenue D. But some of the...

There are a number in that price range, I was looking for good battery life, so didn't really look at most of them tho. the ap200 looks really promising if you can wait, though. I think they just finished their kickstarter with a great deal of support! Fiio x5 iii is a good option too...

I was choosing between the sony and the plenue d, myself. I think the main advantages of the sony, are: better display, better UI, a physical hold switch. The cowon has way better battery life (100 vs 18), and better SQ. I was looking for something to use while traveling, so I went with the...

For anyone interested, I found a perfect alternative to that case made by cowon. It is the Mytagalongs Earbud Case, made out of neoprene. The pouch fits the plenue d pretty much exactly, with a little bit of space on top that for a 90 degree headphone jack. Has a small mesh pocket inside for...

Any idea how the CKR90 compare to the CKN70? Is it worth the upgrade?

These look really nice, and that's a good price for triple drivers! Any thoughts of how these would compare to ath-ckr90 ? They are similarly priced

Has anyone found a suitable small carry pouch for the player? I had a golla one that fit and ipod classic perfectly, but it's too big for the plenue D. I'm not talking about the blue leather case from cowon, just something else. :)

Whoa thanks for the advice! I didn't realize that fiio had some of those issues. It would have been nice to have the flexibility of android, but that battery life is kind of low as well. Yea, I would be using my phone as well. But I want this for when I go traveling for a long time and my...

Hello, I wasn't sure where to post this, please let me know if this isn't the right place. The title says it all. But there are a few things that I am looking for in particular. -Good battery life, preferably over 15 hours -Touch screen -Physical controls. At least volume, back/forward, play...

The CKM500 have been in my possession for almost two weeks now.  Being my first quality IEM, I am impressed with these little things.  I had to wince at the piercing highs at first.  But leaving them overnight helped out, and they sound much more pleasing now.   They are very well built as...

I don’t particularly have a budget, good value is more important.  I will probably be buying online like ebay, maybe used.   I already have hd280, esw9, dt880 600.  This will be used with laptop, maybe mp3 player.  My experience with amps is that dt880 sound much better coming out of my...

So I got myself a pair of the DT880s :D .  Thank you, JerseyD for a quick and easy transaction, it was a pleasure!   Quote:   Yes, I also have esw9 and hd280.  After a short listen and a comparison between them to some electro swing, I can see what people mean about their highs. ...

Hi, want to get a pair of these, and it seems like i should be getting the 600 model, but i do not have a headphone amp.   Do I need one, if i have udac2 with my computer?  I see a lot of people have the o2 model.  Is a home made model like this the best deal?   Actually i have some Samson...

I'm looking for some cans with bigger drivers, and more impressive sound than what i have now, esw9.  Well, I also have hd280 but they sit in a drawer because they are too clamping, a shame only 15 hours at most of use.  One of these days I'm going to find the trading section of this forum.  ...

Hello all, I am fairly new to the hi-fi world, and seeking to purchase some IEMs. They are purchased for use during travel, but I might start bringing them to office if I really like what I hear. My only pair of quality headphones are the ath-esw9. I really like the way they sound, but they are...
