Sorry for bringing up an old thread but... I got the EP630's as a gift a few days ago and I can confirm that they are NOT the same as the MD33S, soundwise or physically. I hadn't listened to my Sharp's for a couple of months, so when I noticed that the EP630s were louder than my HJE50s, I...

an mp3 player for guys? awesome. where can I get one, I have things to compensate for.

the 9999 file limit is per folder and because of the filesystem used, other players probably have the same kind of limit. You wont be keeping everything in the same folder.

Cowon America is moving, might be why.

Haha, that's raw denim, indigo WILL rub off onto your ipod.

I've been using my hje50s for many months now and they're still in great condition. I'm not gentle with them at all, throw them around and store them in my pocket when they're not used.

my brand new ultrasone hfi700 that can be yours for $125 + shipping. cant beat that.

what about THIS IS NOT A SCRATCH

I have a pair, they work fine on the bus.

Buy my hfi700s instead, they have better positioning. Brand new, $125 + shipping?

other alternatives are Sennheiser HD25-1 and Ultrasone HFI650/HFI700 (or almost any other model, they are similar physically).

Is it ruining your life?

You should buy my brand new Ultrasone HFI700's. Better positioning than the a900 according to a lot of people who've tried both.

Run the battery down fully and then recharge, this will make the batterymeter more accurate. Then tell us how long it lasts!

Memory in relation to price is important, not memory alone. I know people who've had like 500mb of music on the 20gb iPod, I bet that's how most ipod hdds look like.

I don't think they have a certain crowd in that way. Apple's crowd is anyone who wants music and isn't a geek, really Honestly, for them an iPod is good enough, there's no need to go elsewhere. Sometimes I feel the same, I'm fed up with making difficult choices like whether I want a HD5 or an...

Most of Apple's crowd don't know why the hell they'd want flash, nor why the Nano is more expensive than the Mini, per GB. Really, they've been jogging with their minis and doing whatever, so why would they want to pay a higher price for memory that doesn't seem any better? In my opinion, the...

Yup, it's not gonna be any more expensive than other players of the same capacities.

Would you have time to post some impressions? That thing is nice, I'm prolly getting it in black.

I'm very much attracted to the a1000 but I'm afraid Sony will screw this up somehow, they always seem to.
