Hello
I just got this great mp3 player and it really is awesome. It was AU$267 at JB-HIFI. I'm still playing with all the options but so far I am very impressed. Its only my 2nd mp3 player, my previous one was a Samsung Yepp YP-T6Z 1 GB. The Iriver beats Samsung in pretty much everything, the only thing yp-t6z has over t10 is line-in recording. Thats about the only thing missing from t10.
Sound: Well there is no comparison. t10 blows away the little Samsung. Bass is a lot stronger, you can crank it up a lot more, has heaps more eq settings including a user defined one which is much better implemented compared to Samsungs. You can hardly notice difference in sound when changing user defined eq on samsung, Iriver on the other hand makes predictable audible changes and is very responsive to changes. Iriver has a really useful setting for us bassheads called "u-bass". Simply turn it on and you'll instantly experience ****BASSHOLY**** moment
In one of the threads in headphones section I was complaining about the lack of bass on my KSC75 and asked for advice on phones witth better bass. At the time of writing I was using the Samsung player. Well t10 changes the whole picture. I am more than satisfied with bass now. So it went from unacceptable bass(yp-t6z) to more than acceptable(t10). So have that in mind guys (Im sure everyone already knows this), source is VERY important its not just the headphones. Too bad I already paid for AKG K81DJ. Still waiting for delivery tho.
T10 is a mass storage device so you can just drag-drop files in Explorer, no bs software required. The way it should be. Funny thing is the 1 and only reason I bought Samsung first and not t10 is because I heard Iriver uses WMP10 to transfer files and is not mass storage device but something else (can't remember what exactly now). Anyway that is simply not true. BTW the American version could be different, I am in Australia and apparently Au/Asian versions are all mass storage class. Correct me if I'm wrong on that one.
I haven't played much with fm radio but it seems to have better reception than yp-t6z. T10s controls are very responsive and there is hardly any pause between songs. It takes maybe 1-2 sec to turn it on compared to 6 or more on the yp-t6z and both players are almost fully loaded with mp3s and some oggs.
If you want to know specs of this player I suggest you look at any t10 on any Iriver site. Currently only Japanese and maybe some other Asian Iriver sites display T10 2Gb. Looks like Aussie Iriver guys are too lazy to update their site
Anyway these are 1st day impressions and so far so good.
