It's got some serious power draining hardware in it so 10 hours is pretty reasonable when you consider that. Some cowons only last 4 hrs or so with .flac

Don't try watching a video on the go or your have no battry life left to listen to any music.

Nice! Very much looking forward to reading about your thoughts on these.

Biggest would surely be the wonky touch screen. Swiping through a long list is painful, as more often than not, you'll select a file instead of going through the list. I have a very hard time navigating very long lists, especially albums with more than 20 tracks. It's so bad I've had to reorganise the files so that I don't have such long lists.

Now with clip+ having rockbox, I'm wavering on whether to keep the s:flo2....we'll see.....

The s:flo2 must sound significantly better than the Clip+ yes?

The treble gets ALOT Smoother after burn in but still retains the high detail and 3d like space of them out of the box. The Bass also gets a little smoother after burn in. These match up really well with the SFLO:2, no amp needed anymore.

May I ask? - how many "dots" do you apply for the best effect?
Me? - 3

I use the 2 dot discs. Give's a little more bass without a mid bass hump and doesn't interfere with the mids or treble. The Zero dot discs is just bass overkill but would be useful if a source was really lacking in bass. I used them when I was playing around with my wife's ZuneHD and it helped make up for it's lack of bass.

I thought the 3 dot discs were a little to lean and analytical for my taste but would go well with a source that was bass bloated and not as detailed.

It is nice to have a great sounding IEM with so many sound signature options.

 

[Woody469]

Hippo VB dots? I use the 2 dot end cap.

swanlee, very nice explanation.

Any further news on when the S:FLO2 Batch #3 will ship?

I read it will ship at the end of March 2010.

Hi.

I also am not having luck on my first purchase with the mp4nation website.

I had to open a "ticket", which I transcribe below:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Thu, Mar 25 2010 5:40am

Dear team,

My order number is #xxxxxxx;

Mailed out in 03/02/2010;

Tracking number is RTXXXXXXXXXHK;

The delivery company in my country has no record of my order.

Today is 03/24/2010 and the unit has not yet arrived. Why I have not yet received the product?

Cheers,

Peter

--------------------------------------------------------------

Items to Brazil can take some time, this is mainly due to Brazilian customs. Please inform us if the tracking does not show up online by the end of next week.

**Please note this ticket will marked Closed, but replying to the ticket will reopen it.**

--------------------------------------------------------------

Fri, Mar 26 2010 3:53am

Dear team,

I do not believe the problem is that, since before the shipment through customs, the delivery company in my country has a record of receiving the product. In my case, the tracking number is unknown by the company.

Anyway, I will wait until the end of next week. The question is: If the product does not arrive by then, what will be done? You automatically send another unit, with the same characteristics, for EMS?

This is my first purchase on the mp4nation site and would not want this kind of frustration.

Cheers,

Peter

--------------------------------------------------------------

Fri, Mar 26 2010 5:35pm - Admin

If it does not show up online by next week, we need to start the process of having Hong Kong Post track it and confirm what happened to the parcel.

**Please note this ticket will marked Closed, but replying to the ticket will reopen it.**

--------------------------------------------------------------

Frankly, I'm very disappointed with the purchase. Chinese products are improving every day, but there is still plenty of work for the whole process to reach a satisfactory level of efficiency.

In the end, buy good products at low prices is not always synonymous with satisfaction. I would not mind paying a little more not to go through this delay.

It has been almost two months since the request and payment of the product. And from what I understand, it will take a long, long time for me to receive my order.

Cheers,

Peter

You could have chosen to ship it using EMS which is sometimes faster and gives more detailed tracking. But this is more of an international shipping issue than MP4Nation's fault. It's nice they do offer free shipping as international shipping on items can really add the to the cost of what ever you are buying.

My player shipped on 3/2 and did not get here till 3/20 so you still may get the product. After hong kong said they handed it off to the USA post office there was about 5 days where it seemed there was no tracking info on it before it was delivered.

 

[AnAnalogSpirit]

I used EMS for one order: no issues...

I used non-EMS "free INTL shipping" for the other and : issues galore...


EMS is obviously the tighter ship!!!

Isn't peace of mind worth $18 dollars when the Player is at such a Value compared to its performant capabilities???
