lol. Thats a little hypocritical. :p
Your basically agreeing with me, that you should buy for yourself and ignore others, and then you say that you wont buy one because everyone has one.

Erm nope, if you get something different to the majority, then you are still buying one for yourself, ignoring others and not buying something because everybody else had one. ;)

Things dont become popular if they are bad. Put simply, the iPod is the best pure music player out there. Other players beat it in other areas, but if you want a no-nonsence player thats easy to use, then the iPod is king.
For features, then the iRiver H series is the best.
For battery life & arguably sound wise, the Zens.

Yeh I'll agree the iPod is easy and no-nonsence, especially for nubs. As for features I'd vote the Samsung rather than the iRivers, and for sound and battery, probably the Sony range, 35hours is a long time, shame they don't have srs wow.

Used MX500s on a 3g iPod, then a H140, a mates H320, a mates ZenTouch & now my 5g iPod.
The jump from 3g to H140 was immense. Then the difference between H140, H320 & Zen was minimal. And the 5g iPod just seems to have a 'cleaner' output compared to the others.
Maybe you prefer your sound 'different'. My mates prefer sound outputs that are 'warm', where as i prefer a 'clean' sound.

Mx500 are cheap and nasty imo, if you want some decent sound you need some cans like sharp md-33s or Etymotic Er-6i. I don't know about comparing a 5G to older players, but it doesn't sound as good as other newer products on the market. This is mainly imo ofcourse, If you like what you hear, then you buy what you like, regardless of what other people say. I prefer a clean sound, with no hiss and plenty of bass ;).
 
Sometimes i swear you disagree for the sake of it. :p

You know that thats not what i ment so dont try that route of argument.

iPods are good for 'n00bs', but equally, if you have a busy lifestyle and dont want to fuss, then they're good for that as well.
Im talking HDD players here, not Flash ones. For battery life, i forgot before, the iAudio range is the best.
The iRiver H series are the best players around feature wise, they come with and do practically everything. Show me a Samsung HDD player that can compete with the H300 series!

Mx500 are cheap and nasty imo...

So cheap and nasty that half the world recommends them, and still, they are 100x better than any stock buds you get with players. So its safe to make a comparison, also taking into consideration that its common testing ground. ;)

iPod 5g's dont hiss. At all. And im very sensative to sound, i can hear hiss on the most fancy of speaker & headphones, and the 5g's is near non existant compared to anything ive heard that can use headphones (multiple mp3 players, phones, laptops with HD audio, PC with HD audio).

As for ease of use, I'd say ones that have the option of drag and drop are easier for anyone.

So was I, the NW-A3000 has a 35 hour battery, iAudio X5L is ok, but the sounds a bit muddy. How about this one?

Only reason they're more recommended than any others, is 1. theyre cheap, 2. theyre more available than other, better phones.

I never implied iPods hiss, I just said I didn't like sound like that, regardless of what you read into it.

Thats a moot point.
I find just plugging in my iPod till it says 'disconnect' a 100x easyier than draging/dropping the music onto my old iRiver.

The NW-A3000 is a joke. Looks good. But its pathetic. imo.
Regardless, its on par with the Sony for battery life, but i'd pick it over the Sony due to its flexability.

I'd have to disagree there.
They are recommended because for the price they are a steal.
But regardless, it still stands that they are better than any stock bud, and it will still be a common testing ground for comparisons between sound quality between players.

Why? Pray tell? :p. Have you even used one?
and you seem to have danced around that Samsung nicely.

I havnt 'danced' around anything. The Samsung doesnt offer anything that the H300 series cant do at all. So its a pointless avenue of conversation.
Yes i have used a A3000. Nice little players in feel & despite their large size, quite nice to hold. But their dodgy software, bad interface, and poorly designed button layout puts me off them.
 
BoomAM said:
Nope.
AFAIK, the music support is about the same.
But the iRiver, if i recall correctly, supports more image & video formats than the J70.

Only real format differences are that it can't open bmps, not really important. If you were after features you'd want to go for something like a Vision:M.

There are a few more that it doesnt do, not just bmp. But thats becides the point.
 
I didnt say it did.

Regardless, im not arguing anymore for two reasons. Because its now pointless because you seem to find some pedantic way to disagree with everything i type, and that its too far off topic now.
