Was this an attempt at satire?
Sony seems to be the undisputed king of sq. that being said, the zen vision m is a respectable player sq wise and the new zen has the same creative house sound which is nothing short of somewhere between warm and neutral. it does have a weaker amp than the m which is regrettable but it drives most portables just fine and even on occasion with a push, depending on the gain set on your mp3s whether from your tweaking or from the terrible loudness that is rampant throughout today's production, i can drive beyer 770 80s just fine. but that's a stretch.
i'd say just go to circuit city and check it out, if you don't like, return it. if you do like, return it, and buy online because its cheaper. that being said, i love my zen because i absolutely adore the interface which for my portable listening is the most important thing. when i'm walking around from class to class and riding the subway i hardly have the presence of concentrated listening to devote to listening to cymbal decay or vocal graininess. So what's so great about the creatives is the navigation which the sony doesn't have, specifically on the go playlists, which is basically all that i listen to.

Sony rules!!! Ipod rules even though it also has weak bass with 16 ohm headphones cus it is coool! yeah cool! and who cares about distortion and hiss, as long as it is flat, that's all it matter...did I just contradict myself there? Samsung sucks for sure. |
