Does anyone use MP3 players anymore? I haven't used one in years. Looking at one gives me the same feeling as I would looking at a walkman.
No, you autist
>>54764602
Retard
I use my zune at the gym, that's about it. Then again i don't listen to music in public otherwise.
>>54764583
yes, I have it
FiiO X5 - ultimate audiophool player master rice
FiiO Mont Blanc-E12A - ultimate audiophool IEM amp
Shure 535 - ultimate audiophool ear plugs
wasted too much shekels on them
almost dropped using them now because not practical
enthusiasts still do
I still use my iPod from 2007
Are there any that have decent DACs in them? It's p much the only reason I've stayed with an iPhone for so long (can't find a phone with a good audio output).
I use a sandisk jam. I can't use my phone because we are not allowed cameras where I work.
They're called mobile phones now.
Cowon X9, been using it for about 3 years and a bit.
I got a FiiO X1 on sale and love it, though the battery life is a bit low for a DAP. (Around two days of straight music playback)
I use a fiio dap with noble CIEMs. Lush it is.
There's reasons for using mp3 players.
Maybe you need a portable player that can power your cans and don't want to use an amp. (Hopefully somewhere inside and you don't walkaroundeating hd600s or something). Maybe you just want better audio quality.
Or the reason I use them and I imagine the reason most people who use them have one is I dont want to workout or do any physical Labour with a 500+ bux heavy phone in my pocket. Instead I have a SanDisk clip+ (also a jam don't get one >slightly better design >Everything else worse >no rock box >headphone jack loose in less than a month)
Mp3 players are lighter and generally more disposable than your phone that's why they're worth owning for a lot of people.
>>54766060
Walk around wearing* on phone goddamn autocorrect and not paying enough attention
Ipod classic with rockbox, if it breaks I'm gonna get me another one. I have a dumbphone but android music player is shit anyway and I dont want an iphone.
>>54764583
Fiio x1 with a 250gb msd card. It's affordable and its nice to have a separate device bc my m7s battery isn't strong anymore.
>>54764793
Could you compare it to a x1? Curious if it has better bass.
>>54765824
That's the point of today's pmps
I used to take old Sandisk Sansa player with me for running, but the poor thing is beaten to death: one earphone doesnt work unless you press it near jack and battery door is gone so the battery is kinda wonky and it turns off due to poor contact.
Smartphone is kinda unwieldy for this though.
![ipod-shuffle-product-silver-2015[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/NJ3NGL7.jpg "ipod-shuffle-product-silver-2015[1].jpg")
Yeah, this one. Easier to change track, or pause when someone speaks to me. Or if im crossing the road, gotta pause listen for traffic etc.
>>54766122
This is a good reason as well, pretty stupid how all pones are just a slab of glass with no buttons these days.
What's a good player that will support a 512 gb sd card? Would love to have all my music on a portable player.
>>54764583
I want a player with Spotify support which isn't iPod Touch, i can't
>>54766224
>>54766356
Fiio x7 if you shit shekels
Nope, my sansa clip has been collecting dust for the past few years now.
>>54766224
Modded ipod classic
>>54766122
>>54766224
go fucking buy a earplug/headphone etc. with a fucking play pause etc button. YOU ARE STUPID.
lost my 2008 ipod nano last year during a trip and told myself i'd just use my phone until i could buy a new mp3 player at home, and lo and behold and can't be arsed because the phone is more than enough
i carry this little guy with my audio technica cks99 ear plugs
>>54766453
you carry fucking HDD??
>>54766411
No, those are annoying.
>>54766365
Sup?
>>54766388
Hadn't thought of that desu, would be pretty cool
>>54764583
Then you should try the Fiio X1 and you will see that your phone has shitty audio quality.
>>54766453
The fuck is that lol?
My Sansa has been a trusty ally for years now. Still going strong even after a few accidents and issues.

>>54766520
Ah one of those old school usb stick mp3 players, thought the hdd was part of it lol. If you had those in elementary school you were the boss.
>>54766578
If you know what a dac is you should know this so this is probably bait, but I'll bite I'm bored.
Mp3 Player in form of an other acronym. It's shorter and stands for portable music player(s).
>>54766599
its not that old school
>>54766638
ah, thought so. had a few drinks (not bait, just tired)
>>54764583
Not since my Sansa died
I prefer using it over my phone, good physical buttons so don't have to bring it up to my face to do something with it, the only thing I miss is that on a phone I can easily search for a track, while I have to go through lists with the sansa.
>>54766411
Those are like the lamest thing ever. Thats the whole reason the shuffle 3g was canned and quickly replaced with the 4g.
Yes, /csg/ made me purchase a Ruizu and a shark. I use it for the gym.
>>54764583
my sister uses some sony mpplayer with 8gb which I bought for her 8 years ago
a year ago people were pushing sansa's. now, hardly anyone. I still use my sansa, but then my phone is still on webOS
>listening to such a small amount of music you can fit it all onto your phone
>2016
I spent 150€ on a mp3 player with QVGA video just before smartphones became popular.
I used it for one year not only because I got a smartphone, but because it was a pain in the ass converging and copying videos to it and also battery started failing.
Three phones later, I dont think is a useful gadget anymore, or maybe just for doing sports and risky things?
>>54768178
To be fair there are people out there retarded enough to get an iPhone or nexus phone.
>2016
>not listening to FLAC on your player
feels good to have ibasso dx50
Zune HD is still running strong, althoguh the 32GB storage on mine is too small. Im afraid of opening and trying to replace it in fear of breaking it.
It just works, and it works well. I just with apps weren't removed. Audiosurf on it was so much fun
Still rock an iPod Classic, the GOAT PMP
I used a rockboxed sansa clip+ because of the Opus support, Parametric EQ and Crossfeed.
However since discovering Neutron Player that has these features i switched to my phone.
It wasn't easy though, had to find this little gem buried beneath thousands of fucking unusable shit music players that don't even have opus support in the Google Play Store.
>>54766453
lol
>>54768390
lel
I had a Clip Zip but the headphone input became too loose to continue using. Replaced it a Chinese player by the company AGPTeK/Ruizu because the new gen of Clips are awful. Good quality little player and is better for music than my phone. The market for these is dwindling unless you want to spend a few hundred on a high end player, but there are a couple companies still putting good stuff out.
>>54764583
I do. I've been using an 8 gigs Creative Zen Mozaic for the past 8 years. Sadly it died just a couple weeks ago. Survived two encounters with water, one of them being a full cycle in the washing machine, three years ago. Its screen was about 80% dead by the end of last year, but it still played music very nicely; I learned the order of the songs on it, so it wasn't a problem to me, even if all I could see were the first three characters of the song title.
Now I'm using a 160 gigs iPod classic. Chose it because I was in desperate need of more space, and because the other model - a Sony player with expandable memory - was not in stock at that moment.
>>54764583
Do you even lift?
>>54773504
I've had four other players before the Mozaic. First was a 256mb mp3 player with usb, that died a couple years later. Next, I had a 2 gigs Sandisk Sansa m250 music player, that still works. I had a 4 gigs mp4 player that broke after just one month.
Then I got the Mozaic mp4 player. I received another 4 gigs no-name brand mp4 player, which I didn't really liked, so it's pretty much collecting dust. Now I'm using the iPod, but I'm also using an 8 gigs Sony waterproof mp3 player for when I'm swimming, jogging or cycling.
I'm sort of a music enthusiast, you see.
I carry this one
Actually yeah.
I have 2 Sansa Clip+'s I constantly give out to friends to borrow.
I always put on new audio books on the device for them.
>>54765771
Same
My iPod nano 2d gen is still working, so ...
My first was a Sony walkman CD that supported MP3. Briefly used my DSi XL with Moonshell but the quality was shit.
Currently using a refurbed Sansa Clip+ that I bought over a year ago. I'm satisfied with it. Wondering what high dollar tech fuckery OP is currently using.
>>54766503
She looks like a trashy defendant from Judge Judy now.
>>54766116
That means your headphone jack doesnt properly make contact anymore, if you can solder you can fix it
I still use my iPod Classic, but then I also use a Nokia feature phone.
>>54764583
I use one at work for our on-hold music
>>54768087
>sister still uses pmp you bought for her 8 years ago
She want's your D.
>>54766453
Goddamn, I though it was connected to the end of that HDD and was wondering why the hell you'd carry a HDD around to listen to music.
4GB isn't very much but I suppose it could be enough.

>>54764583
I have an old iPod Video 5.5g, it still works flawlessly and get like 8 hours of playback time. Best device I've ever owned desu.
I like using mp3 at the gym and running my sansa clip plus with rock box finally died for good today so now im going to look for a nano 1st or 2nd gen to put rockbox on.
Now that sansa is kill what other device can I buy for 50 bucks with quality audio? Minimum as good as the sansa clip with rockbox.
>>54779099
5th gen iPod Classic
anyone know if the RUIZU X02 is any good? looks too good to be true for the price its at and wanted to know if there was any catch.
i lost my clip zip yesterday
>>54779259
its the current meme you should get it
>>54764583
My Cowon C2 gets daily use. Battery's not holding as long of a charge as it used to so thinking about getting the Plenue D in the next year (read: Black Friday).
>>54764583
I'm using a sansa clip+ with rockbox almost daily. I don't have a good phone and I have 10GB of music that I wouldn't want to find space for anyway.
Yes, still use my zune HD and 30 now and then. But can't install the zune program on my win10 partition so might have to figure that out.
I still use my Ipod classic it was a gift from my wife and i use it whn i go to auckland because my phone never lasts as long on battery.
never the less i don't use it much anymore as my life is not as active much anymore.
i use my 4GB RCA GoGear (sansa clip size) for work. dont feel like wearing my phone battery down for podcasts.
bought it at a pawn shop in 2010 for $20.
its been through my washer and dryer a few times.
held in by superglue.
i need to fix the headphone jack again.
whats the good mp3 player with big / removable battery?
>inb4 get a phone
no, thx, size factor is crucial here, it have to be tiny as possible, aaa powered if possible but I tho k that such ones died out long time ago
>>54765771
Same, I still use my iPod Nano 3rd generation that'd I've had forever, its aesthetic as fuck
>>54780507
still does 13hrs on a single charge.
i remember at one point i would use this mp3 player to record a local morning show because their podcasts were always utter shit.
the last hour of the show was somehow the last hour of the previous days show.
i would wake up around the last hour of the show and record it from my mp3 player. later in the day i would cut out the commercials and download the first 2 hours of the podcast.way too much work so i just decided to be a day behind and listen to a complete show.
I use a fiio x1 because no other cheap mp3 player can hold over 64 gb
I have a 110 gb music library so I need the space
RIP ipod classic
Love this little guy. I don't like having to use my phone for anything more than calling and texting.
Plus I like the monochrome no color display. Simple and clean.
>>54764583
I've been using an Ipod Nano 5g for like 4 years. It's great. I have a smart phone but like to save the battery and don't really care to get calls so I only turn it on when I care to hear messages or read texts.
>>54779401
>tfw I found a clip zip yesterday
>>54764793
I've X3ii and SE535 and can push them to uncomfortably loud at ~60/120. What's the point of an external amp again?
I use a Sansa sport. I have broken the headphone jack on phones while working out before so I went back to a mp3 player. Also, it gives my phone better battery life since I'm not using it for music.
>>54780577
>whats the good mp3 player with big / removable battery?
Cowon Plenue D has a 100hr battery.
Philips GoGear Azure + JBL Charge 2+
>>54775838
Omfg there is a diffarance!!111!!! Reeee!
My 10 yr old creative zen sounds 1 million times better than my gay smartphone.
>>54764583
I'd actually like a new Walkman, but they're expensive.
But on smartphone you can search in your library just like on a PC
Can't do that on a dap
>>54782337
>But on smartphone you can search in your library just like on a PC
>Can't do that on a dap
>>54782337
are you retarded? even my sansa clip could do that. but now it died so I'm using my old xperia play as an mp3 player
Rockboxed iRiver hp-140 with 120GB ssd.
No many players have FM radio and allow custom OS.
>>54779259
Complete trash OS/firmware, randomly skips tracks, have to wait for the album art to load (can take a few seconds) before skipping to the next track, have to scoll for 2 hours before finding the right track because you can't jump to some letters or anything...
>>54779099
Do you want rockbox on it?
Need a new phone and probably getting the HTC 10, heard some good things about the quality of its DAC/AMP.
>>54782232
I have the Zx-1 Model. Its pretty great aside from the battery life.
>>54764793
>a fiio player with an amp
>amp for BAs
For what purpose?
>>54780811
SE535 has too little low frequencies (bass). I have read that this is due to a dynamic resistance (impedance) of some sort. Using a 'boost' switch on my amp fixes the problem and now I can actually hear the lows.
>>54766104
I actually have no experience with X1. But Shure SE215 is one of the best earphones I had, bass-wise. They also worked great with any player, even the Sansa Clip+ meme.
I've got a 2nd gen iPod Nano till I get the parts for the SSD mod for the broken Classic I picked up, run line-out to a Fiio E6.
Anyone use ipod anymore?
>>54786119
Only people who want the best PMPs
>Does anyone use MP3 players anymore?
Yep. Clip Zip + Rockbox 4lyfe, homie.
It's just such a simple, dependable device. I don't often listen to music when out, but it's good to just have in your backpack or your car.
>>54782232
>>54786351
christ what a fucking cuck
>>54786351
r&d would be the correct answer
I used to use a Sansa Clip+ but I gave up on it because it doesn't play all of my video game formats; it plays some of them with Rockbox, but not the Playstation ones, and it's annoying to switch between different modes (some of these formats have multiple tracks in each file and if you just hit next it will skip to the next file, so you need to go into settings and change the functionality of the next button when you listen to those, then change it back when you're done).
Now I just use my phone, since I carry it around on my person at all times anyway. The new Foobar2000 for Android is great, plays all the chiptune formats I've thrown at it perfectly even though they aren't even listed in the compatible formats (was pleasantly surprised). My only complaint is the fucking album screen is showing the same album several times because it's breaking it down by artist. I want to see the fucking albums, I don't want to hunt around the same album icon 5 times to find the track I want to listen to! If anyone knows the devs, tell them to fix this garbage.
>>54764583
i'm not pleb enough to have a smartphone, so i'm using cowon d2+ to listen to my flacs, it holds charge for a week, provides great sound quality and also allows me to listen to fm radiostations.
Nah, an mp3 player can't keep up with streaming players like Spotify.
Compared to individually seeking out songs, downloading them, placing them in the correct folders, while keeping proper categorization, it's almost a no-brainer that mp3 is dying or already dead.
>>54786616
>needs Internet just to play music
kek, no thank you.
>>54786629
What are you talking about, autist?
I download hundreds of songs with a single click over wifi.
You can argue a lot of negatives about Spotify, but the convenience it gives is unmatched.
>>54786650
Only the songs Spotify has. Meanwhile I just download discographies and place them on my PMP, none of that MP3 bullshit you described.
>>54764583
I have one, but i just can't bring myself to use it. Rockbox is so fucking limited compared to PowerAmp.
Yes an ipod 5.5 the best one
I use my Sansa e280 at work almost daily.
>>54786663
I guess discographies aren't my thing.
I prefer a more 'radio' approach of downloading a ton of various playlists and then just doing through them and deleting what I don't fancy.
You do you, I'll do me.
It's just that I can't even remember the last time I saw anyone of my friends or colleagues using an mp3 player over their phones.
>>54786712
I can't remember the last time I saw a friend or colleague that didn't run Windows, that doesn't mean Windows is the best.
Nope.
Maybe if they suddenly had 4G support, could run pandora and make calls...
oh wait..
>>54786663
>2016
>Still pirating music
>>54764583
im going overseas her ein a bit and will probably use an mp3 player. since ill be travelling, ill need to save as much juice on my phone as possible.
might just whip out the old ipod.
I have been thinking about buying an d ipod classic because they have a shit ton of storage
>>54786929
Any player with an SD or MicroSD slot can have 200+gb of space.
Still have a rockboxed clip zip. I got my first Android phone pretty late, in 2013, but when I did I realized how big of a meme sansa is. G2's audio is objectively garbage yet it's still better than sansa's(using ATH-IM02) and I can listen to my favourite artists' demos on soundcloud before release. Neutron has more actually useful settings than rockbox as well.
>>54786842
I buy CDs of stuff I really like
>implying I'm going to buy 6000 songs at 99¢ each
>>54786966
An iPod Classic can have 1TB of storage.
>>54787131
[citation needed]
I don't remember Apple ever selling an iPod classic with 1tb of space.
>>54787162
You can replace the HDD with an SD card or SSD
>>54780811
an amp is mainly for powering headphones with a higher impedance, if you would not use an amp with those the bass would be really soft. It is not necessary for earbuds i think.
But eh, what do I know, Im not an audiophile.
>>54764793
I have a similar set up to you.
I've got SE535's and an A&K Jr. Don't have to carry a seperate amp because the Jr. can drive the SE535's without issue.
>>54787183
I am actually planning to do that, but I'm mainly waiting for sd cards to become a lot cheaper.
>>54787183
Let's get this straight. You are actually comparing partially disassembling a player, which you can do with any player, and modding it with players that do not have to be disassembled to increase its storage space?
Are you retarded or simply grasping at straws to apologize for Apple?
>>54787229
This is /g/, if you can't handle a very simple five minute upgrade then what the hell are you doing here?
Also if you're that much of a pussy you can buy them that way from third parties.
>>54787183
Cool, but can you use that as an external HDD?
>>54787189
The 535's are stupidly sensitive, so they can actually hear how your DAP actually sounds. A lot of DAP's tend to roll off lower frequencies and the SE535 picks that up.
>>54787253
Yeah you just need an adapter. Here's another mod I did
>>54787252
>This is /g/, if you can't handle
You are honestly trying to compare them. You sir, are a retard.
>>54787270
I know you can use msata via caddy, I was talking about using the modded iPod as one. This might convince me to buy it.

Are you a child with an irrational need to have the last word? Since you prove it is a waste of time to extend to you the benefit of the doubt that you carry your end of a substantive discussion all that is left is to entertain myself that you are also a child.

Your arbitrary idiocy that anyone who doesn't agree with you on 4chan must be from reddit?
You've already succeeded in proving you have severe personal failings yet you continue to want to add on to them with more childish and idiotic conduct? Perhaps out of pity I should just leave you with the last word as it seems you think anonymity means you cannot embarrass yourself further.
The Sandisk Clip Sport plus a 32GB MicroSD card is solid. Note that it doesn't support larger microSDXC cards, but 40GB is a lot of music, especially in such a small size.

Because it is not how you actually conduct yourself that demonstrates your character only what you specifically state?
You sir, are a retard. This is compounded by the fact that you cannot specify your own point you claim others prove for you.

Come on guys no fighting where here to discuss mp3s
>>54787646
let it go,
some things need to happen because they can, like bread threads on /fit/
>>54787799
Yeah I guess. so do u still use mp3?
I still do I just can't get into using my phone seems impractical for me. I know it's more convenient to just use a phone but I love just using a mp3 at the gym
>>54787905
I use a dumb phone as an mp3 player. A dedicated device isn't worth it when I can have an sd card with gigabytes of mp3s. The battery also never runs out.
Unless the mp3 player is tiny, that has some use when working out,
>>54787968
>A dedicated device isn't worth it when I can have an sd card with gigabytes of mp3s
Yeah because there are no PMPs capable of high capacity internal storage nor are there any with microSD card slots.
My dream player would be:
>aluminium body, clicky buttons (like ipod nano)
>stick shaped
>small b/w display
>rockbox-tier firmware
>external storage support
Sadly, with all available mp3-players you only get to pick 2 from

>>54788010
>>small b/w display
All of my why?
>>54788094
He probably wants a simple mp3 has no need for video or pictures just a good device for only music without gimmicks it also save on battery
Is a Plenue 1 or Plenue S worth buying or no? I have a cowon device and enjoy it, but it's been dying on me.
I have no idea which PMPs are the best/most useful nowadays.
>>54788468
>He probably wants a simple mp3 has no need for video or pictures just a good device for only music without gimmicks
What about album art?
>it also save on battery
You do realize that there are DAPs with 50-100 hour batteries that have color displays? If it saves any battery it is negligible at best.
>>54788480
Plenue S if you have the money or Plenue D if want smaller form factor and saving some money.
>>54764583
I've been using my creative zen for nearly a decade now. It plays music, hasn't broken, battery hasn't degraded too badly. Transfer speeds are shite though.
>>54788489
Yeah but their also expensive if all he cares about is music then I'd be a good cheap mp3 like a sansa clip. I'm just using my needs for example
>>54788664
>Yeah but their also expensive
>a sansa clip
Remind me. Did the Sansa clip have a color display or "b/w?"
>>54766116
Is there Sandisk Arya?
>>54788750
It has one of those blue screens with a yellow line at top I know I know but I was talking about like full color picture quality
>>54788802
>full color picture quality
Your reason of wanting a b/w display is because of the Sansa clip that did not have a b/w display and saving battery power which isn't really saving any power. . .

I still use my 9 year old ipod video with musicbee senpai, it keeps track of the playcount per track thats why I havent fully moved to android yet. Now that foobar exists for android that might change.
>>54788866
And that is...
>>54788895
A Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip 4gb. Your point?
>>54766486
Ipods can even use 1tb msata ssd´s albeit due to the moddery involved its a trial and error thing and they may consume more battery juice. Theres also an absolute limit in number of library items because they have 64mb of ram.
I still have an old Phillips MP4 shitlord with me. Only 1gb storage but still good for me, and the battery is still running great
A friend gave me a Galaxy S5 with a smashed glass front.
So I fixed the glass on the front, bought a new battery for it and installed CM and use it as a PMP now.
It gets like 40h SoT in airplane mode and all the battery adjustments I did on it.
>>54764793
>not se846
>not kse1500
Do you even shure?
I have a Sansa M250 that I got in 2007. Only 2GB, but that's more than enough for me. it's outlasted several phones I've had. and it still works so why stop using it?
>>54764583
I use Sansa Clip when visiting nigger neighborhoods.
I use a Clip+. Smartphones have no battery life and fill their space with esoteric crap instead of FLACs.
>>54779259
Make sure you flash the agptek firmware, as ruizu cloned the A02 to create the X02. Once you do that, you're getting what you're paying for (a decent pmp for the price).
I have a zune+.
Wish WP was this good.
I use an iPod touch in the car

Plenue S and 1 aren't such great players, at least from the sound quality perspective.
Astell&Kern stuff has earned a rep as an offensively overpriced steaming pile of crap (they are), the AK 320 does not look that bad.
>>54789246
The KSE1500 is a gimmick.
846 isn't all that either
>>54791128
>Plenue S and 1 aren't such great players, at least from the sound quality perspective.
[citation needed]
>>54791128

Actually, not such a good player thinking it over.
>>54791178
I meant to say the P1 was nothing special.
Plenue S is in a weird niche.

What are you comparing it to that resulted in your conclusion?
I don't really use one when I am out. I mostly use my old Moto G (1st gen) with the 32GB micro sd as my portable player on the go which I use when playing in my car.
For home, I use iBasso DX50 as my portable music player which is connect to my speaker in my room when I just want to listen to music.
>>54791712
Since you still haven't specified I am left to assume you are comparing it to the AK320 since you mentioned it in >>54791128
>the AK 320 does not look that bad.
Compared the Plenue S it is notably worse at load. It is more comparable to the P1, even though twice the THD and significantly more expensive.
>>54791767
I should be a little more careful when trying to recall figures.
The comparison is with iPhones, Fiio players, LG V10 and G5 module, AK players.
The iPhone's noise floor is higher than it seems, due to quirks about iOS handles volume. LG phones have load sensing circuits.
Sansa Clip 8GB version.
>>54788010
xDuoo X3?
The stock fw is some custom embedded Linux crap apparently, but there's an experimental rockbox port.
Does anybody know if this is any good?

I would like to get a relatively cheap MP3 player to play on the speakers at work and I'm wasting a lot of space on my phone by putting music on it.
>>54795341
Less than stellar fw and has bass rolloff.
Decent battery.
It's the latest meme so go for it.
the lengths you guys will go to in order to avoid apple shit at all costs. the iPod is so unbelievably superior to every other piece of shit that ever came to market. it's ok to use one guys. get a refurb off ebay, you won't regret it.
>>54796672
Which ipod do you like?
>>54780779
turns out I left it at work
whew
>>54796672
Except they are deprecated and soon every single one of them will disappear one by one. At which point their price will be so jacked up you can buy 2 superior X1 for the price.
>>54796672
>iPod
>superior
Pick one. Cowon and Fiio offer better sound quality with more codec support and better battery life.
>>54788480
You can get a fiio x7 for that price
>>54764602
>>54764583
Yes. I use these almost daily.
iPod has been in use since late 2008. I take it with me when I'm wearing something with a good pocket for it, otherwise I take the clip+.
Thoughts on upgrade for sansa clip+?
Nice thread.
Should i get a fiio x1 if i now have a cowon c2? I would do it because i need more space, and the c2 only has 32gb
>>54798184
>codec support
iPods can be rockboxed
>battery life
You can upgrade the battery
>mp3 player
You mean a media player?
I've never seen a player that only played mp3s. I liked the Sansa Clip+ I had with Rockbox
>>54801022
If you really do need more space then you'll have to get one.
That said there are other players out there capable of >32GB.
>>54802581
>You can upgrade the battery
How? The size would still be limited.
>>54802787
>how
By replacing the current battery with a higher capacity one.
>>54802827
Yes but it'd still have to fit the case. With how battery tech has been stagnating in the past decade the increase will be small, probably negligible.
>>54802854
>Yes but it'd still have to fit the case
No fucking shit
>probably negligible
I guess if you consider over 200% the original battery life negligible, then yes.
>>54802933
Also keep in mind this is while keeping everything else stock, if you upgrade from the HDD to solid state you have even more room for batteries.
>>54779515
Got Plenue D, had the C2 and M2. Get it, defo worth it, but the screen lag is fucking annoying. It's getting better with every FW update but still annoying. Everything else is great and physical buttons save it.
>>54764583
I was going to get a Fiio X5 but decided not to. Phone + unlimited data + auto-upload with Google Music is way better than needing to manually move files over to a device that I probably won't always carry with me. Add in LG HBS-1100 for flat balanced armature sound and no wires. I can control music playback and volume from the HBS-1100, which was a major gripe with IEMs not having volume control buttons and/or detachable cables.
>>54796672
/g/ dont like Apple except macbooks, look how this thread and other they hate ipods and prefer the sansa clip
>>54798598
What earphones are you using? I'm looking for some nice ones to go with my clip +
Also do you notice any real difference in sound between the two players? Or is it a storage thing for you.
>>54803254
I don't understand. Why would you need to spend 250 dollareedoos on an mp3 player?
>>54803853
I don't hear much difference between the two. It's mostly that the clip+ is more convenient because it's so small and has a clip. But the ipod has much larger storage (although I could stick a massive microSD card into the clip+) so I mainly use that.
Earphones are Xiaomi Piston 2 by the way. There's probably newer and better versions available, but I like these (and they were only €15).
>>54804037
>Xiaomi Piston 2
Cool, thanks.
