Here I was a disgruntled loser missing that Sonys639 that was 65 bucks sale. I wanted the screen, very much, that is why I wanted to try it out with its 2 inch screen for slideshow.

So because I was in *buy* mode--you all know about that lol, I went and got a RockMEE 8gb with a 3 inch screen.

Well at first I thought it was a bit under the Fuze SQ. If the Clip and Fuze is a perfect 10 and the Zen Vision M I had for awhile was a 6.5, I put the RockMEE at an 8.5. That was until I played all the EQ's. I have on the RockMEE the PlayFX on LEQ setting and it absolutely trumps the Fuze. Oh, I am listening on my CZ's (the Panasonic 900's). This little player is a beautiful thing. Am very happy I bought it.

AS for the screen--it is a delight. I've yet to learn how to put a movie on it, but I will come back here after I figured it out and let you know how that went.

So that's it for now.

After considering it I didn't think it right that I was going by memory of how the RockMEE was sounding in comparison to the Fuze. So I got my Fuze and I cued up the same exact track and then tried to get it at the same volume. Then I plugged and unplugged back and forth to listen to the difference between the two.

Allright it doesn't trump the Fuze, but it doesn't lose to it either. The Fuze has a warmer sound, more timber. And the RockMEE sounds colder and more forward I guess. In earphones I'd say the Fuze are the M9's and the RockMEE are the M6? I dunno, that might be a stupid comparison.

So, that's it for now.

And now the dealbreaker for me.

In quiet, laying in bed, which I'm apt to do the RockMEE is too loud. I have my CZ's at volume number 1 and of course it can't be turned down, only off. This player has power and is LOUD.

So I wrestled with, maybe different phones, but I love the Panasonic 900's. That is what I want to listen with.

So the MEElectronic RockMEE must go. I will put them on the forum for sale and remain content with my FUZE because I can listen as quietly as I need on it.

Sigh. That'll learn me for thinking the grass is always greener.

In the space of two days you have teetered back from total bliss to selling the thing: I love this thread.

Well, I put it up for sale guys.

Yes It is a great value brand new, and at 55 my used one is an even greater value. If my Panasonic 900's didn't sound so perfect out of my FUZE, I would keep the RockMEE, the screen is beautiful. But I have limited funds and cannot keep a stable of electronics. After selling the RockMEE I own the Fuze, the Cyclones PR1 Pro, and the Panasonic 900's. But someone who has been hankering after a clear 3 inch screen without being a touchscreen and needing something that can really drive a phone is gonna really enjoy the MEElectronic.
