Hi all

Actually if you read what i said i was very careful to point out that as individuals what is great for some isn't for others, and also dependant on what each of us has been exposed to will also effect what we find good or even great.

At the end of the day use what ever you are happy with but no one will ever convenience that low bit rates with stock headphones on a Phone will beat a dedicated player with high bit rates and a good set of headphones logic says this is just not possible.

Now whether a Sony MP3 player is better than any other or the Ipod is the best is always down to an individuals personal preference some may prefer a brand and even subconsciously this will make them prefer one set over another as long as you are happy with what you are using enjoy it. But then don't make absurd claims like all iPod's are rubbish just because you don't like them.

It's all well and good to have a preferred brand to look at first but just buying by brand is only cheating yourself of possibly a better option and really that goes for anything you buy.

Marc

@oli
there will always be a gap between phone mp3 players and stand alone players, just like there is with camera phones and digi cams!

i love my music. i just dont have the $$$ for a mp3 player

Yeeeeah maybe. I think they will slowly close the gap though.

I have a digicam, MP3 player and a phone. I prefer to get the best of it all. Hehe.

guessing that was aimed at me i guess.
actually, i liked the sq of the 1st gen shuffle, and the touch is quite good now. i prefer sony though, not because of the name, i just prefer the sound from it.........
every ones ears are different. what sounds good to one, might not sound good to another!

"what sounds good to one, might not sound good to another!"

So what the use of this thread

I think The Equalizer have to be much better so the SQ will be good for all ears
That's my Opinion

Just another recent review.
It's about one of the newest sony walkmans. Some comparison is done with Ipods and other players.

Ok, I may agree, but I checked many other forums now and when SQ is considered big majority opinion is that Sony, Iriver and some others are sounding much better. Here's another forum discussing the a similar subject:

Edit: @Oli, BTW which walkman model do you have?
