Inclusive of anything portable: pmp, portable amps and etc.

For me it was at least US$5000 over ten years.

 

[Aardvarks]

Portable, £280 ish

Home, £5000 ish

 

[sebhuber]

Less than $2000 - I hope

 

[evillamer]

Most of my money was burnt on Minidisc media and also Metal grade tapes.

TDK's MA-XG Metal :

These were built like a tank. Compression Artifacts? Wow & Flutter anyone?

I would think that I have spent waaay more on CDs and LPs than on hardware over the years.

 

[ok1907]

I am new at this portable audio hobby but I think I've spent $1500 already

 

[Szadzik]

Taking into account the equipment I've had that would make around $1000

Starting from the very beginning:

1. Portable casette player 'no name' 1988
2. Better portable casette player ' no name' 1990
3. Panasonic portable casette player 1993
4. Portable CD/ MP3 player 2000
5. Rio Carbon 2004
6. Zen Vision: M 2006
7. Sony A818 2007

Lots of cheap headphones

$387 to be precise, which is what my portable kit listed below, using the PX200s as the main headphones used, cost.

 

[Uncle Erik]

The iPod and e3cs were under $500. I'll replace either when they break, but no plans for upgrades.

Home system? Into five figures.

 

[rawrster]

not a clue but definitely under 500ish. i sell most of what i dont use so it's not too bad compared to other members here.

on a side note..i figure my wallet is happy that im not home often enough to have a home system anytime soon :]

 

[SharkSkin]

On MP3 players about $550 on 4 total over 6-7 years, maybe.

On headphones not too much, maybe $100-110, a bunch of them in the $10-20 also over a period of 6-7 years.

Then going further back $70-80 on one cassette player ($40) and one CD player ($30-40).

 

[kunalraiker]

I could not list all of it here, as I have forgotten some of my purchases, just to give you an idea, the biggest purchase was my iRiver H340 years ago when it first came out, i remember spending $700,00 on it, total waste of money.
