Hi. My much loved Sansa Clip+ is dead and I miss it a lot. I need a new player to listen podcasts at night.   The must have features I'm looking for are:   * Physical buttons (no touchscreen!) * Automatic resume (when booting or at least when playing again the same file) * Variable speed...

Once I read that headphones are to speakers what motorbikes are to cars. You get more SQ for your money when you buy headphones, but they are totally different things.

Three are enough: - A full size open headphone for home usage (HD650 for me) - A portable closed one with low impedance to use it anywhere (I have an ATH-ES55 coming!, hope I get it fast! ) - An IEM for when you really need portability and isolation (PFE121 in my case)

I like the level 1 bass boost enabled for my "woodyfied" Grado 225i, but disabled with the Senns HD650. Even with the Phonak PFE I find it best with the bass boost disabled. PFE with grey filters have a nice punchy bass when connected to the Arrow. It was a big surprise finding this out, they...

I agree, the Arrow's bass-boost is much cleaner and non-intrusive. In comparison FiiO E5 bass boost is really bad. That's good info to help people deciding about getting and Arrow (but not a fair battle, the Arrow is *a lot* more expensive).  

Even there are a few differences among versions, this should give you an idea:   http://www.head-fi.org/products/headstage-arrow-12he/reviews http://anythingbutipod.com/2010/04/headstage-arrow-12he-headphone-amplifier-review/...

That's the real answer: Quote:   None is better "per se". I mean: To use with an mp3 player that has the audio jack located in one side, maybe I would prefer an L-shaped connector (because it should be less prone to break it I keep it in my pocket). To use it in *my* desktop I...

I already tried deleting that, using the left side form, the one on the right side... even using the browser of my phone. Anyway finally Robert wrote back telling me my order was ok and I think he will solve the problem I have in his website. I also received a mail saying the status of my order...

Quote: Same problem. First I tried with Firefox, now with IE:  

So lucky, you! I can not even log in the website. When I was making the order I finished the payment and when Paypal redirected me back to headphonia's site I got an error. Now I see my money is gone, the order *seems* to be completed (paypal gave me my own order number and the status is...

Quote: Well, I belong to those tbat think that the music you hear is the one that is powered by the electricity your headphones receive so... just measure the impedance of both adapters with a multimeter. It you get the same ohms, I can't find any reason why they should sound different...

  Quote:   I could be wrong, but I also bet the HD25 sound closer to your ER4 than the M50.   Quote:   Yes... I feel the same. This is a very subjective hobby and that makes making decisions even more complex.   About AIAIAI TMA-1: It looks like they are very close to my...

Take a look at this frequency response graph taken from headphone.com, maybe you find it useful:    

Yes, a long time ago. EDIT: Line out support is working in Fuze V1 since a long time ago. But sadly it is not working for Fuze V2 because Rockbox team still need to figure out how to activate it before they can release a version with line out support.   (Come on Sandisk! help them just a...

First and again, please remember that what I tell you about this two cans are just based on my readings, not my personal experience. I didn't try neither of them.   No doubt both headphones must have very good SQ in this price range, but AFAIR they have very different sound signatures: M50...

Well, I don't have much experience with closed phones, but I see noone answered yet so here are my thoughts.   What about the popular Audio Technica ATH-M50? Please note I never tried then but as I can read from some trusted reviewers they should meet most of your requirements: portable...

Hi. I hope this thread is a proper place to ask about this. I would use a Fuze + Fiio L6 LOD + Arrow G4 to drive my phones (Grado 225i / Senn HD650 / Phonak PFE). Is the my source (Fuze) good enough to justify buying the Arrow to use it in this mini-chain? I mean: Don't know if the DAC in the...

I actually use a Clip+ and a E5 in my car, and yes, I have quiet a lot of hiss. Anyway my stereo is a very very cheap Kenwood model, a real Low-Fi item, and the line in needs a very powerful signal to sound loud enogh. This is what is causing most of the hiss (I mean: E5 hiss is not that bad...

I'm a *very happy* Galaxy S owner and in my experience I don't think you can get 7h 25 minutes of video playback with a single battery charge. The codec used both for video and audio, the bitrate, resolution, brightness of the screen, audio volume and probably other factors will affect, anyway...

As far as I remember my PL30 came with a plastic cablewinder. It's a bone shaped piece of rubber like this one:     Anyway I bought them long ago. I guess so, but I don't know if right now they include the same accessories.   Quote:    

punkinhead: Some members successfully recabled their OK1 (as you can see for instance in this picture of a FS message). You could consider recabling them.   And one last thing: AngryBaconGod: Are you 5 or less? Bevo: Did you came from the middle age? What kind of messages are these? I guess...

In my experience Galaxy S sounds great (at least with plain Froyo, don't know others). Anyway I still prefer my Clip+ to listen to music: dedicated hardware buttons are very useful, batery life is in another league and the difference in size is huge. Usability as an audio player can not be...

The screen is black (no light/image when I turn on the player).   You are right about getting a replacement, and I already have a Clip+ on the way. Anyway I'll try to clean the faulty Fuze as you recommend, let's see if I'm lucky.   Thank you for your message and happy new year!

Hi all. My old good Fuze (v1) is dead. Hiding the truth doesn't help, I must be honest: I threw it to the toilet (3 points! 8P). Everything works perfectly expect the display. I dissassembled it and I can see signs of humidity near the display bus, so I guess that *probably* connecting a new...

In short: Yes (assuming rockbox is ported to your device).   It doesn't help that you avoid to say what DAP you intend to use with rockbox.
