anyone tried using an iPAQ for music listening?
I have an iPAQ 1950, and that''s all i use for listening to music. i listen to it loud because for the noise on the bus, but it keeps killing headphones (i like bass

). does anyone have any recommendations what i should look for (specs) in my next replacement?? (it will be really soon).

Thanks Scott (sr71blackbird_sm@yahoo.ca)

I use one as a throwaway source for DIY.

Are you asking if there's a new PDA that has quality output or are you soliciting a general audio replacement?

i was just asking if anyone else had used it, because i have one and it is far better then the mp3 player i've owned, even though it's not designed to be one. and i have no idea what to look for in headphones so that the bass won't kill them, that what i was asking. so it's a headphone replacement I'm looking for under $100.

If you like bass then I would look at the jvc fx33 marshmallows. they are about $20 and wal mart caries them.

X2. They are very nice...especially for the price!

If you're willing to spend more, Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro or Super.fi 5 EB might also offer the bass you're looking for.

I was at one point using a Dell Axim x51v as my portable player. Out of curiosity, what software are you using for music playback?

i was using pocket music, but the iplay client from 40th is much better. although it is really hard to get (the website to buy it doesn't work well).

Its not an iPaq, but I use my Dell Axim everytime I travel by plane. Its a great media player. Does both MP3/WMA and movies very well. Well, the sound quality is pretty bad, but good enough with good quality earbuds.
