Hey guys, maybe you'll remember, i'll started a topic.
I asked you wich DAP i should buy (wich has no color screen etc.)

i decided to go for the Zen Sleek or the iHP-120.
but after i saw that the iHP-120 is pretty old and hard to find, i decided to buy the Sleek.

but:

it costs 250$... and the X5 too

Now, the X5 offers more specs (like color screen etc.) wich i don't need.

but i still don't know wich one to buy...

Please - Please help me

Just forget about specs. X5 have more carisma.

And if you find and buy iAudio in Turkey easily, go for itt.

 

[Melik]

nah, no X5 in turkey...
btw. i'm goin to buy the Sleek/X5 from the States...

if you were gonna spend 250 on a zen sleek why not get the zen touch 20 gb for like 40 dollars cheaper or get the 40 gb which is the same price as the sleek

also where are you looking to buy them? amazon is like out of them, jandr, and newegg doesnt have them. havent checked creatives site yet.


PS i was also looking at the sleek but if the price is the same at creatives site i might just go for the touch.

EDIT ///// checked creatives site and they have sleeks for 269 What???

i dunno if anyone know where else in the us they sell sleeks let me know otherwise im just gonna get the touch or something

I listened to my brother's zen sleek today, which has exactly the same files as my zen micro, with a pair of super.fi3s. I thought it sounded slightly muddy in comparison, but it was a much less fatiguing experience. The soundstage was also more forward and natural. Probably better for casual listening. Don't know anything about the iaudio x5, but it seems to be extremely popular among headfiers. I would check it out if I were you.

i thought the touch had an fm radio.

No its only got fm radio when you buy the remote. Which is quite expensive.

 

[rockin_amigo14]

get the X5. i had the Sleek. i wouldnt say there was anything too bad about it, besides it was boring, and the dust gets trapped in the screen.

i love my X5. does everything a DAP should do, plus more. the voice recording is AMAZING i think, and it gets very good fm radio(good enough to hear my teams lose

).

i'm rather indecisive with DAP's, the lonest i ever had one being 7 months, but let me tell you, i think this X5's a keeper.

 

[DJ Mauler]

ya im trying to find a sturdy cheap player, since well i dont want to take my H340 that cost a few hundred dollars everywhere, in the car,home,work or school

 

[Melik]

hmm i dunno, does the sleek really sound muddy ?.

and i'm afraid of buying a X5, cuz you never know when the X6 will come out

i'm waiting for more replies

The new Cowon player is going to be that small 0.85 inch harddrive thing. Seeing as there's no snippits on all the Cowon fan sites (like iaudiophile.com) about the replacement to the X5 I'm assuming that it's not going to be out for a while (they did say that they'd heard/seen the X5 almost a year before it had ever been released)

I like my X5 - but then the main thing I wanted was drag/drop functionality as well as the ability to record direct to MP3 and there's not that many players offering that around. The radio works fairly well (though I don't use it very much)

Go for the X5. Better file support mattered to me and is one of the key features of the X5. Not needing any software to load music: priceless
