  Hello everybody. Now the player BENJIE S5 can be bought on the stock with BENS5RU coupon for $ 17.72.

  Really I do not know, for all the countries relevant or not.
   

too bad the coupon doesn't work anymore. maybe somebody knows any other working coupons?

 

[To.M]

well, just checked and it works for me...

 

[hakuzen]

it stopped working for a while, but now it's ok again

 

[gregsoir]

oh, indeed it works again. thanks for heads up

I ordered one of these tonight (the code worked for me in Australia).
 
I want to see what the fuss is about.

Woah steady on! H20 onboard.
 
it sounds better with an amp, not as good (ie detailed/ soundstage) as the xDuoo X2 IMO that you championed, many disagree with me though. would be interested in your thoughts.

Can't go wrong for $20 odd dollars. 

 
Be a few weeks though I'd say before I can chime in.

Is it a brighter thinner sounding player guys, or on the warmer side?

quite balanced and full sounding

i expect for brighter thinner.. based on http://www.head-fi.org/products/agptek-a06/reviews (@HiFiChris' review of agptek/ruizu a06, which i guess it uses same or similar hardware than benjie s5 -rockchip nano-).
"more open and brighter" "arid lows" but "less soundstage" than sansas. some people tell they have lower resolution than xduoo x2 and even sansas, less clear and detailed.
guess power will be even lower to sansas (9mw@32ohms): i remember reading about 5mW@32ohms somewhere..
but for 16€, bought 3, to check it myself, and to gift the complete pack to newbies friends/relatives: 1 benjie s5 + one of the multiple budget iems i have spares of.

Welp, hardware is one thing but the implementation of it is a totally different story. Two devices with the same basic components (DAC, Amp, processor, ...) can still sound quite different. So I wouldn't conclude that the AGPTek and Benjie sound similar just because they share some of the components.

let's hope the implementation is similar, as well

 from memory, ( i havent used one of my sansa's for a while,) i'm certain it has a wider soundstage. its *almost* as good as the xDuoo X2 imo, the sound seems to get a bit grainy at high volumes.
