  Was wondering,why most of you guys like to use sansa clip as media player to drive good headphones? Smartphone can do just as well right? 

  Most people like a dedicated audio player. Using phones might drain the battery.
There are people who use their phones too, you just don't see them much.

my clip sounds better, I can change the songs easier, lasts longer, and is much more portable. I do use my phone all the time in school though for internet radio and slacker which I use much more than my downloaded music.

Hi! Let me  join to the club. 18th of may : rainy Sunday afternoon, found this thread. After an half hour ordered a pair from Japan, received today,now I'm listening them. Was 49,-$ shipped. Out of box - GREAT! Thanks Dsnuts!

Wait until they fully burn in, they'll sound even better :p

They've been my daily playing headphones since the day I got them so I dont know how many thousand hours they've been on. They sound pretty open now, but that might just be my mind playing tricks on me. I need a new one to compare with.

So it has been a long time since I posted, but I require some help! My friend's S500s left speaker went out and is looking for a new pair of portables around $40-50. Any suggestions? Or should he just stick with another pair of S500s?

What does he want in his headphones? And I'll take his broken pair if he doesn't mind, if oI can't fix them I'll still have a back up driver.

I'll see if he wants to keep them or not. Basically, I'd say similar to the S500 signature with an emphasis on bass, but not quite basshead level. Have any other contenders in the 40-50 price range topped the S500s?
