Best Mp3 Player???

[krazyfrog]

but seriously dude, iPod has got the best sound quality out there

Thats an overstatement. Players from Cowon, iRiver and Sony have better sound quality than iPods and players from Creative and Samsung provide similar sound quality to iPods. Nokia N91, which is a cell phone, can produce sound similar to iPod. So no way iPods have the best sound quality out there.

Well... when I bought one (nano 2GB), I searched for reviews. And after reading the reviews from all the websites I could find.

Apple iPod had the best sound output given that you test all the media players on studio quality headphones. (The ones bundled with iPod are useless, even my planet M headphones sound better than those). AND the checks are done using the best quality audio files available (320kbps for mp3 and wav/aiff files)

Again, those are what reviews say. From my experience, I have found it to be better than N91 and Sandisk. (in fact that was the reason that I agreed to pay a little extra over sandisk). Dunno about the latest version from other companies but the newer iPods are found to be better in terms of noise reduction than the second and fifth generation ones.

Since the thread has already been hijacked before

I want to buy the Ipod classic 160 GB . have a few questions though :

() Does the 160 GB ipod have any variants , generation-wise ? ( coz I dont want to be duped by the shopkeeper )

() Are there any similar HDD capacity music players from creative or any other company ?

Thanx .

1 - No only the 6th generation iPod comes in 160GB.
2 - I think Archos has one, but they are rather hard to find in India.

If your are in Delhi, you can PM me, I got one on Monday (15 October), you can check mine out.

Caution: Hijacking in progress...

Hey fellas, I'm looking for a small mp3 player for my li'l sis. As its her first, it doesn't need to be too fancy or anything, and 512mb-1gb will do fine. Anything around 1k?

 

[kumarmohit]

Just around 1K. thats too less of a budget!

You might get some chinese stuff but not a branded one.

 

[A@$h!$H]

go for an T sonic player , its truly worth every penny

 

[Cyclone]

How much does a 512mb T610 come for? I picked up my 2 GB for 2100 or so. And kumarmohit, are you sure that I can't get a branded one for around a K?

 

[kumarmohit]

You would be hard pressed to find one

 

[Cyclone]

Drat! Okay, how much DOES a decent 512mb come for?

 

[aditya.shevade]

2.5 to 3

[aditya.shevade]

Oops.. Sorry. I have no idea about 512MB.
