If you want even more bass, you might want to consider the Meizu M6. There's a couple of threads - from what I've been told, it has similar SQ to the Z5, but better bass.

IF your are after the extra base , you might want to audition the UE-EB5's , I also had a pair and the base was too much for my taste.

iAudio is known for their SQ from their DAPs. i recently got their tiny F2 and with my v-moda vibes this thing has plenty of bass and i'm not applying any DSP or EQ. bump up the EQ and they sound like IESs - In Ear Subwoofers.

the F2 also has excellent blackground.

i also like creative's products for their SQ but my Zen Touch wasn't as quiet as my new F2. haven't heard the Vision M so can't comment there.

guess i'm suggesting to go with iAudio.

I own an iaudio U3, It has great bass and are very customizable. However The Zune(I have one) has very clear sound with equalizer turned off, If your able to get a good deal on it then go for it. I can not comment on the Rio, but everyone here recommends it. The creative vision M is said to have very good sound quality so overall its up to your decision and which one do YOU feel you will like more.

CHoice i yours.

Iriver IHP 120 / 140.

Ok, so now I ended up makin a poll and see how many votes each option gets. The competitors are :

- IAudio X5L
- IAudio U2 or U3 or F2
- Zune
- Iriver Clix or IHP 120 / 140
- Meizu M6
- Ria Karma

Whetever they will be, the results will be irrelevant because there are not many people having had the opportunity to compare these players in order to make an informed vote.

Fully agree with greenhorn. You might be able to find the clix and zune locally, so worth trying to audition them with your own earphones before making a decision.

I m really planning to get U3 as I dont use video and I want a player strictly for Audio. Is it a good choice guyz ?

 

[Netminder]

dont know about players but the v-moda has a lot of base for your taste

 

[johndoe12]

The U3 is one tiny player that pumps out BIG sound.

Excellent sound quality. However If you ever decide on it becareful not to drop it as I did (it went down with high acceleration with ksc75's plugged in) and I messed up the left audio and had to send it back to cowon saying it was faulty.

Their fix only lasted about a month before it left again and then the second time i recieved it messed up 3 minutes later...proves to show how crappy their repairmen are. However They paid for shipping the last time around and I even wrote a letter in the box i shipped it in describing how crappy they were and when i recieved it Dec 26 lol They sent me a new one.

Got lucky there I tried bargaining for a new and no luck but hey they gave in.

Great overall player.

Iaudio + AKG K81DJ.
Definitely no amp needed.
Loads of bass and very fine SQ and EQ from your player.
I personally use the X5 plus K81DJ (I tamed the bass a bit with a recable and dampening). I think it is just great.

Yummy !!! Seems like that I have finaly decided to settle down with IAUDIO U3. I would have gotten X5 but didnt wanna pay extra fro HDD and video capabilities.

Thanks guyz ... IAUDIO U3 it is ... You guyz are great !!!!!

Borrowed a Rio Karma off a friend so I can hopefully experience this legendary DAP. The sound quality is very good, but two minor gripes. There's slight background noise and you hear slight interference whenever the backlight comes on (something I also experienced with my Creative MuVo V100). There is a good custom EQ (with 3 presets) but I don't think this is the basshead DAP you're looking for...
