I actually tested the Sansa models and found them poor quality compared to an iPod.
-
How so, Rik? I've got a Sansa and I'm very satisfied with it.
-
I thought the audio quality was poor, using the same tracks and Bose headphones on both, Gill.
-
Perhaps I'm happy with my Sansa because I've never listened to an iPod. Ignorance is bliss, and I'm happy!
Sansas are a lot cheaper than iPods. Is the difference in sound quality really worth the extra money?
-
I've got a Sony Walkman, and the sound quality is just as good as any I have heard, as long as the source is of high quality in the first place. :)
My friend has a JBL docking station, and the sound from that is phenomenal, from such small speakers.
-
Is the difference in sound quality really worth the extra money?
To me, yes, but then I am using £300 headphones. ;)
-
If you can afford £300 headphones, I'm surprised you don't hire the bands to perform live for you rather than listening to mere recordings ;) .
-
It has been known. :) I guess I shouldn't mention the £6000 speakers and the £1000 CD player then. ;)
-
Show off! :wahh:
-
I left out the power amps, pre-amps and the tuner. ;D
Of course, you have to remember I didn't buy most of it.
-
Oh, that makes it better! ::) ;D
-
With a set-up like that, I should imagine you're not listening to Dizzee Rascal or Kylie Minogue.
-
No, I like pipe bands, jazz, opera, choral music and the classics generally - modern and ancient. :)
-
and Queen. :)
-
True, plus the Beatles, because I'm that old. :)

Never mention those names again... ;D

I was quite pleased with Ipod + noise cancelling headphones today... kept me asleep on the planes
-
I found I could use it in hospital to escape to a happier place, Sam. I slept most night firmly connected to my music.
-
Headphones certainly do take you to a different place. :)
-
I used to fall asleep listening to spoken word programmes on the radio, although sometimes the broadcasts would be such a distraction that they kept me awake. Now I fall asleep to radio programmes I've copied onto my mp3 player and which I know will be relatively soothing. I'm currently snoozing to "The Long Goodbye" and I shall be able to review any bits I've missed tonight, unlike with live radio :) .
:snooze:
-
Have a nice snooze, Gill. :)
-
I find reading a manual usually sends me to sleep in about 3 minutes flat.
-
What's a manual? :dunno:
