My iAudio M3 is a bit too cumbersome anymore to take on the go with the whole remote setup and all of it's wires. I want a smaller 2GBish flash player to use when I'm on the go. So which of the Cowon iAudio T2, Samsung YEPP YP-Z5, and the iRiver Clix has the best sound quality? I'm kind of leaning towars the T2 just because I'm already familiar with iAudio, but I'd spring for either the Samsung or iRiver if somebody can give me a good reason to go that route. Thanks!

I'm getting the Meizu M6 black 2gb player for x-mas.

Hopefully it'll be decent. Heard it has good SQ, nice screen, plays ogg, flac, and vids.

I would definitely go for the Meizu. I own an X5 and a Meizu m6 and the sq on the meizu blows the x5 out of the water! This is sad for me because I keep reaching for a player that has 28gb less capacity

If you have decent headphones get the meizu and your ears will thank you.

I have an X5 60GB and use an iAudio U3 2gb for the gym. The U3 is perfect for me, very light, simple andsounds great with KSC-75.

Haven't heard a Meizu though, tempting.

im gonna buy an iaudio g3 soon... it WAS $105 at amazon, but they jakked up the price =(

buy.com has it for $105 and has that $20 off $50 google checkout thing... so you might wanna poke around there too.

is there any SQ difference btw. the G3 and U3? i picked the G3 cuz i dont need video and its smaller & cheaper. im planning on using it with v-moda vibes or akg k81dj's...

I have the Muvo V100. Plug and play, drag and drop, no need for software. Nice. It is priced at $60.68 at Buy.com after Google checkout.

The Clix is nice, but don't forget its meant to be used with WMP. I'd look at the Meizu M6 instead [180.00 for 4GB], or go with the iaudio U3.

I'll put a plug in for the creative zen v plus. I don't think the output is really powerful, so hopefully your headphones aren't too hard to drive. I use a set of ety's with them and it sounds *nice*. Plus it's tiny too!

Of the players you mentioned, I've heard lots of good stuff about the Z5 - was actually thinking of getting one myself!

wow.....that Meizu player looks awsome, the only problem is that I don't know if I could justify spending close to $200 for a 4GB flash player. I could get a 30GB Creative Zen Vision M or Toshiba Gigabeat for that much. Where are you guys buying these from anyway? At the moment, it's pretty much down to either the Cowon T2 or the Meizu if I decide to splurge......that thing does look way too awsome

holy mother of #$@*&^ amazon is selling it for $250 and NOW you tell me! man, thanks for heads up! i might consider this over the iAudio G3!

 

[CloudySkies]

oh snap.......$150 for the 2GB model is basically right in my price range. How's the sound quality on these things compared to something like Cowon's?

I have not heard it myself, but from the reviews it sounds quite good.

I was going to pick one up myself [or maybe a clix], but ended up ordering a zune.

looks good!

I'm going for the Cowon iAudio F2. Above the iAudio D1 (a bit bigger and has a DAB radio) because I don't trust that the DAB reception on the D1 will be any good...which will just be annoying...
