Spec Me an MP3 player.

[Patriach]

OK, so im looking at buying an MP3 player that is a good performer and has good sound quality, all volume is a must, nothing is better than silly loud music!

Ive looked at the Ipod's, i just cant justify £200 + for a decent Touch + proper ear-phones...

Also i wont be listening to the music on the bus or train....not that chavy!

Any thing out there to look at?


P.S. I have been using my phone, its a PITA to use the music, have to use the screen to change tune! (Samsung S8300)

If it helps, i did have one of those Creative Stone's, with some £40 Sony headphones, i lost it, think i left it in my mates car, he traded the bugger in, i was gutted!

EDIT: Best price i can get a Sony X Series for is £170, thats the 16Gb, What good 'phones should i grab? I dont like earphones, or head phones, only those little tiny ones that go right inside your ear, my ears are wierd, and there the only ones that fit properly and have good sound!

My 'Stone' had the small screen on it...Why didnt yours?

Is there anywere i can go physically look at a proper MP3 player, the Sony X Series or Sanza Fuze or anything else?

 

[Patriach]

Ah, you must have had the slightly better version. I had the [even] cheaper one which had no screen. Great player but the lack of screen was indeed annoying.



Are you in London? Go to Curry's Digital on Oxford Street [which used to be Dixons]. They have quite a few big name ones you can physically look at. Or go to a John Lewis.

Im not, no...Im in Chester...

So, i saw a nice little offer in Argos earlier whilst out with the dog. Son X Series Walkman 16Gb + Leather Case = £164.99!!

I just had to buy it!!

And now im transfering some music onto it, takes awile, so im yet to try it all out. Head phones are unique and quite comfy (sad i know, trying them 'on' before i plugged them in).

Ive got a problem with the player....i cant select songs via folder .

Im now going to try putting into various folders in MUSIC.

Other than that, its FANTASTIC!!!

Its actually quite heavy. Also the granite sides give it a nice rugged manly feel, also helps being heavy. The touch OLED screen is really responsive. The cans fit nicely in your ears and even without the sound cancelling option turned on they cancel out a lot of outside sound!!

I have the Sony X1060 and don't think it's heavy at all, a fair bit lighter than my previous Zune 80.

With your music mate, try using MediaGo, it's far better than the supplied software and MediaMonkey is a lot better as well.

I used 'drag n drop'. And its now all sorted.

And having listened to it more, and playing with equalizer settings and what not...i have to say...well...there is nothing to say! Its took the words out of my mouth...i want to cry...i want to collapse in a heap of tingly goodness...its that dame good!! The stock canal thingies are silly good, it feels like surround sound in your damn head, everything from Akon, all upto and including Guns n Roses and Dragonforce sound biblical...its just sheer delight!!!
