Can you imagine if the ORIGINAL walkman had proprietary cassettes that had a different size and could not play stuff you recorded from your hi-fi.
I hope we will see MP3, flac and other formats on the NWS700 series. But something tells me I will be left hoping...
However, even if it would, you would have to use headphones better than what come with them... the apple headphones are some of the nicest I've found that come with mp3 players.. :cool:
Although before I got a Zen Micro, I had a slim sony mp3 cd player that was easily the best sounding cd player I have ever had. Too bad it stopped working after a 1 foot drop.
the worst part about this is that they wont trust us with it but in asia where i imagine bootleggin is so much worse they do. now, thats retarded.
the battery life, the only reason i was sold on it besides asthetics is a supposed 50 hours, i havent counted but i have used it for a good 40+ hours and not had to recharge it. i now recharge it about once a week or week and a half. the 3 minute super charge that is supposed to last 3 hours really does last almost that long. i was caught once with it on the low and in a bit of a hurry but it lasted on my train trip down and back up to manhattan (from the bronx.)
I have the sennheiser CX300 and i tried with Ipod, Iriver, Zen, samsung mp3 (i don't remember the name) and sandisk mp3. I can say that the sony sound is far better (i'm talking about NW-A3000, not the flash memory players)
No offense, but you're all just talking out of your asses.
It would be fun to see some double blind tests with mp3 players though! :)
(same with A64's and intel CPU's!)
I like this part of sony small headphones "alarge turbo duct offers a more powerful, deep bass", I bought a second sony headphones with this turbo duct and it works good, the water resistant behind the head headband ones.
but lets try to keep it undercontrol and on topic. lets not go round calling each other this and that. kk ;)
also, who elected Solaris17 for commander of Techpowerup forum patrol? Dippyskoodlez and I are having a fun discussion. :toast:
