I recently lost my rb'ed Clip Zip (and Sony armature IEMs, and 64GB SD card ). I had meant to compare it to my trusty old A729 but hadn't gotten around to it. Using the A729 now with the included ("hi-fi") headphones and it sounds great (better than I remember the Clip to sound), although they...

Has anyone been able to listen to both of these, other than joker? Looking for more opinions comparing these two 'phones (dynamics, bass/mid/treble response, isolation, etc). I had the A161s but they have somehow disappeared along with my Walkman. Now I have a new Clip Zip and need new...

I am about to get a CD player with a USB input (compatible with FAT16/32 drives), that uses the Burr Brown DAC from the CD player, so you can plug in a flash drive or MP3 player and get the benefit of that DAC (like many new receivers). Unfortunately you can't navigate folders too well from the...

I am considering getting a home CD player with a USB input, but it is only compatible with devices that are formatted FAT16 or FAT32. Does anyone know the file structure formatting for Clip Zip or Sony Walkman NWZ-S639F? Or how I can find out?  (I called Sony and all they could tell me was that...

In fact I am now fairly convinced that this is the case. I have somewhat mild tinnitus that gets better and worse depending on whether I've been recently exposed to concerts, listening to headphones, etc.  I had a pair of Soundmagic PL50s (armature) a while back and didn't notice it too much...

After reading joker's and Clieos's reviews I am considering the Brainwavz M2 and CC51 (as long as MEE will take back my 151s). These seem to have similar sound quality based on the reports, with strong, yet non-bloated bass, and good highs. I did numerous searches but haven't found many...

I've been checking back in periodically, since I would like to get a player with a larger capacity than my trusty 16gb S639 Walkman (also have a 16gb A829 ), but it seems like the 32gb players are taking longer to come down in price than the 8gb and 16gb ones did. Is this just me, or has anyone...

I need to get new 'phones after my second pair of PL50's have started to lose sound in one earpiece (the first pair got replaced under warranty). It has also recently happened on my second pair of Koss KE29's (lifetime warranty is a good thing for backup 'phones), and even my KSC75s at work...

I am helping someone choose an MP3 player. She is not an audiophile, just wants a decent player to replace her 1st gen shuffle (so she can see the songs, etc.). She wants to be able to listen to podcasts, and FM radio. She already has itunes so the ability to keep using that is actually a plus...

Has anyone done this? What shipping method did you use?   The right earpiece on my soundmagic PL-50s stopped working. I filled out a claim form at mp4nation and they said to return the heaphones to Hong Hong. I checked UPS and FED EX and the estimated cost is more than $60 (they only cost...

I have been out of the loop for a little while on the latest DAP developments. Would anyone mind listing the current 32gb flash players, and advantages and disadvantages of each? I have only owned Sonys (currently have the NWZ-S639, 16gb), which I like except I would prefer more memory and...

.

The title pretty much says it all. My PL-50s (which are single armature IEMs) went through the wash in my jeans pocket, along with my A729 Walkman. The player is dead, but the headphones work. Is there any reason to worry that the sound quality will be worse than before, and/or if they may be...

I'm thinking of upgrading from my JBL Ref 220s and these seem to be the best options (use to/from work - walk/subway in DC; train travel). Can anyone compare the Denons to the Jays (all the usual aspects - SQ (especially), isolation, leakage, microphonics, comfort, etc.)? Where do they...

This site does fairly detailed sound quality analysis, and has very high praise for the clix2 (more than they have for the T9 and iaudio i7, even - look in the "MP3" tab). Can anyone who has heard both of these comment? Is the clix2 really that much better sounding? I'm also concerned...

Anyone? Does one have better sound quality? Is the T-9 a little smaller (esp thinner), or are they the same size? I know the one issue with the T-9 is slow transfer speed, but how slow is it? About how long per album to transfer, compared to the Z5? Also, someone mentioned that later...

Has anyone compared these players? These seem to be the best slim flash players with at least 4 GB capacity and focus mainly on audio. Mostly concerned about sound quality, but also interested in other aspects also (file transfer, GUI, battery life, etc.). Audio is by far my main focus - don't...

Does anyone else have this problem? I have JBL 220's, and I can't count the number of times a tip has fallen off when removing from my pocket or from a bag. I am wary of it now and pay attention, but still can't believe I haven't lost one yet (got very lucky a few times). I'm sure at some point...

Wondering if this problem exists on every player. If the answer is yes, if you can please indicate what codec and bitrate the track was where you noticed it. NOTE: The problem happens at the END of MP3 tracks encoded GREATER THAN 128 KBPS that have NO SILENCE at the end ("gapless" tracks...

I see in the MeizuMe forums that there have been problems with the M3 playing album tracks out of order (playing in alphabetical instead of by track number. Apparently it might have had something to do with embedded images.) Can anyone confirm whether this is still an issue, or if it has been...

[Should be a question mark on that thread title] I would really like to get an M3, but people have mentioned that there may be a hiss issue, especially with low impedance and/or high sensitivity phones. I have the JBLs and I'm thinking that with those specs there is a chance there will be...

I really need to get a small flash player. I really like the design of the Express, especially the integrated USB adapter, but I've seen reports on anythingbutipod indiating it might be buggy. However, the Stone Plus has customizable EQ. (Does the Express have EQ?) Any thoughts? I'm...

Just Rockboxed my gigabeat F40 and with all the various customization options, I was curious what custom settings people have found for different headphones. (I happen to have JBL 220s and there is a certain sheen or hollowness to the sound and was wondering if anyone had found a trick to...

Has anyone been able to compare these? (Couldn't find a comparison using search.) Not totally crazy about the JBLs and wondering if the M3 would be a significant improvement.

So my F40 gigabeat is on the way, and I need to start ripping my CDs. I think I should probably get an external hard drive just for music. Are any particular HDs (brands, models, etc.) considered better/more reliable than others? Obviously, I don't know anything about external HDs at the...
