They all soung more or less identical so you shouldnt worry about that, and all sound better than the nano

The sony has better sound quality and gives you a much better starting headphone.

the best SQ should be Sony S73x or S63X model, with/ without eq they are stil one step forward to the compatitors..

of coz also a step higher then Sony A series model..

sony Walkman product not wellknown in europe country.. bty they just too expensive and defeated in lookslook design & too limitation file format(no FLAC and APE) and player storage.

I didn't think so. I had the S639 and thought it sounded really good, but to my ears, it wasn't a step ahead of the A series at all. I have the A808 and A829, and the S639 sounded so similar to my A808 that I returned it a day later. Most of the later Sony daps have equally good sq, the differences are so marginal that I can't see anyone being disappointed with the later models, especially if they like the Sony sound in the first place.

hi,Soozieq
i went Sonystyle times and make a serius comparison to test the best with the same headset(MDR-EX90)

finally the best sound come to my taste :

S73X > A82X > E43X > NWD E02X(stick) > NZW B13X(stick)


S73X sound : cystal clean&clear,tight(mid-bass), EQ pull to highest and lowest changes of EQ sounds abit more "accepatble stabality" to A82X,

A8sx sound more heavy on low(bass) and hissy abit when EQ put high with high vol...

E43x max sound only 60-70% of S and A series level...soundquality one more step lower.................

of coz different ppl may ended differnt QS for the sound... coz the differ between S and A but very much..

rcently audition with W3,then all my sony headpone abt put ti storeroom once my W3 arrived...

the audiopiles shop sales man told me that Ipod SQ is consider 2nd rank level, inferior to the most superior player from Sony,samsung, fuze....

i listened minutes to ipod nano and give it up, it no worth for me to the level "to compare" with others...

sorry to the nano users, it is just my "personal QS standard" view of point only,
for majority in the world are listen to apple product right! so u can just ignore my view of point..

Ok, and is it worth to buy S73X instead of S63X ?

 

[walkingman]

If you want brushed metal finish and active noise cancelling. If not go for the S63x series. It is far cheaper.
