What a great little piece of kit!, 13 Jan 2010

Chose this player due to great specs at a decent price.

This is my second Samsung - 1st one was a yp-p2 that served me well for nearly 2 years, when it was time to buy a new one I originally went to Sony based on specs, but due to problem had to return it, and took this one instead - Got everything that I had with the P2, but:
1) Smaller and lighter - it fits into the palm of your hand
2) 4x bigger memory
3) With DNSe 3.0, better sound than the award winning audio of the P2
4) Cheaper

Sound quality: Absolutely brilliant, better than my P2 and a similarly specced Sony that I had for about a week. Very tweakable sound with both presets and… Read more

Great bass for ear-phones, 6 Jan 2010

Bought these on a whim a few days after picking up a pair of Sennheiser CX300ii's, just to see how 'bassy' these Extra Bass earphones were. Quite pleasantly surprised - In-ear types can tend to be quite weak on bass, or lack the resonance that you get with a pair of open-back or full sized headphones. These ones do what it says on the tin, gives really good bass, some resonance, tending to favour the low-end with 'on-par with price' mid and high-ends. They're new, so will expect sound quality to further improve after more running in (currently been left on playing music for 10 hours now).

Nice touches in the design - the cables are flat like linguini, the ear-pieces are… Read more

Love them enough to upgrade from CX300, 6 Jan 2010

Have owned a pair of CX300s for something like two years now, still working fine and keeping my ears happy but thought it was time to sniff around for a possible upgrade, after all two years is a long time in electronica. Funnily enough researching what was out there, ended up buying the updated version - CX300ii.

Sound:
After 12+ hours of 'burn in' (plug them in to your device, press play and leave overnight - it helps run them in, bit like what you do with a car), the sound from these is now developing into strong bass (hard thumpy rather than resonant), reasonably prominant mids and clear highs - There is a noticable improvement on the (already very good)… Read more
