I've had a Sony NW-E507 for 3 years now. 1gb of space is extremely restrictive but I havent upgraded because I love it. Paired with my Senn 212pro's it delivers beautiful deep bass without droning, its not at all harsh, its solid as a rock and I dont have to look at the damn thing to change songs or albums. I also like the sound stage. Then theres the massive battery life.
I've just bought a NWZ-E438F as it was cheap and every review always mentions great SQ. I figured it would be as good as the E507. I hate it. I find it harsh, closed in and theres barely any punch to the low range. I've listened to it for a full 2 hours - its going on ebay.
Please help me find a player which has similar characteristics to the E507. Preferably under US$170. I realise the purists will think i just love over exaggerated bass, but that isnt the case at all. If there is another model with even 2gb space that sounds the same/similar/better I will be a very hapy man. Cheers
