Those are custom jobs, not stock products and all of them are made by 3rd party companies, not Apple.

@Yondaime

Likewise bud, I love MP3 players and they absolutely do still have reasons for existing I had a 32GB 3rd Gen iPod Touch and I miss it dearly, not a day goes by where I don't miss it, same with my 32GB Creative Zen Vision-M - I *adored* that and the only reason I don't use it any more is the headphone jack is busted. Now I'm forced into using my Xperia Ion and it's "good" but not as good as my old iPod and not even in the same LEAGUE as my Zen, not in audio quality or battery life.

This Sony thing though For this price you could get a ridiculously high-end DAP/DAC like SpykeZ' oft recommended iBasso series. My wife's best friend bought a DX50 on SpykeZ' recommendation and she *loves* it, says it has by far the greatest audio quality she's ever heard on her devices. She's not keen on the clunky UI and OS though, but she's also not up to replacing it with Rockbox or anything. That player was a FRACTION of the price of what Sony is charging for this thing Laughing

Yup, it's a known issue with a lot of the Creative player line .. the headphone jack goes all screwy, your audio cuts out or it scratches abrasively, then eventually just stops working. Fuck you very much Creative Sad And yeah, with the switch from HDD to Flash storage, everything is 8/16/32/64GB now and it drives my wife insane since she likes having her full collection on a player. Our only real options are players that support SD/MicroSD expandable storage and then adding a 64/128GB stick >_>

Exactly my reaction to the product. Did they even exhibit even the slightest amount of suspicion that something might be a little off when sticking with that price range? Because this particular set of features does not correspond in even the tiniest correct way with that specific price.

Not High Definition, or DTS, or THX or Dolby Digital or any other actual real standard or format, no, no, no, ...
High "resolution".

Also, huh? definition and resolution mean the same in this context, but what do DTS, DD and THX have to do with high fidelity audio? DTS and DD are compression standards, so analogous claim would be that image cannot be high definition if it is not JPG or GIF. Laughing And THX makes no sense in context of a portable audio device.

Not saying this device is bullshit, but you can't prove bullshit with bullshit. Laughing
