RedM Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 What is the sound quality like? Are they worth buying? Cheaper than comparable Ipods at the moment. What about hooking one up to car stereo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I think we can conclude from this that no-one has one.... ..but Sony and that, they usually make quality gear don't they? I'm sure it would be fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Strange, I thought there would be at least one 'early adopter' on here. Wrong again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black cat Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 sexy bit of kit. id like one. but dont walk or go any where on public transport. different age group me guesses..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm the same re: public transport. I was thinking of getting one to use in the car. Cheaper than an Ipod and looks nicer IMHO. Although.... it appears that it won't actually play mp3 files! More investigation needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Although.... it appears that it won't actually play mp3 files! More investigation needed. Usual Sony, same with the last model, No No you can only play our format of music..mp3 sucks and is the child of the devil They gave in and released an update to allow the use of mp3s, imagine it will be the same again.

SkyJawa Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Sony suck sh!t through a straw at the moment, just take Sony DRM for example Shame, always been good innovators but I steer clear of them at the moment - don't like the road they are heading down..........

Ceptik Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I bought a black one last wednesday. CONS: Compared to previous players i've had (iRiver and flash sticks) the menu system is not the easist to use. More or less everything is done via the PC. You cannot cannot playlists on the fly either which is a big shame. The software that comes with it will install but hangs upon loading. This is cured with an update version that Sony have released. They brought it out too early in time for xmas and screwed the thing up. The update works fine though. PROS: Looks fantastic! Sound quality (i think) is pretty good and has a couple of custom EQs. Bass isn't too shabby either. I always prefer lots of bass and treble. A-Z Searches can be done on the player for Artist, Album, Track etc. I quite like the screen (old-style green luminescent) but some people wont. All is all i'd give it about 7/10.

Ceptik Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Oh and you must use Sony's software to transfer MP3 files to the player. This converts it to OMG files. Big PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
