sansa series with rockbox?

Hmm.. is it that nice? I was considering this and Colorfly C3... in the end i got Colorfly C3..hehe

anyone knows which sound quality is better for mp3 players? Sony NW-S series or Ipod Nano 7th gen?

Okay, i gave up trying to find a mini portable player with audiophile grade SQ and bluetooth. So i'm going for just mini portable player with audiophile grade SQ.

Looked at Hisound Nova series, looks promising until i read about all the bugs loaded with it as well. So looks like i'm looking at either Colorfly C3 or Cowon. Not sure which Cowon series though.
Anyone has any better options? Price wise please below RM700ish =)

actually i want a size similar if not smaller than ipod nano but with at least 16gig storage or with microsd slot. Is i10 size around there? how's the sound quality/sound stage compared to other players?

how much did you pay for it? and where did you buy it from? =)

so you bought from amazon and used her shipping services? aikzz..
was hoping for a cod or shop for around that price haha

haha that's alot bigger than the cowon i10... i want it to be as small as possible with amazing SQ =D

Hi Emokia Hehe. Sorry for delaying reply, still researching on other portable audio besides Sony Hehe. It was a tiring long process trying to filter out the devices. None were up to my liking which had Bluetooth on top of the size and sq ;(
So I downgraded my options to blue toothless Haha

Was narrowing down after a number of devices to Cowon i10, Hisound Nova, Colorfly C3 and hm-601.
Gonna forget the hm-601 since the price is way over my budget Haha

Aside from the pros which is great SQ among other things for the Cowon, Hisound and Color fly, I'll just focus on the negatives/cons instead based on what I've read.

Cowon i10
- battery life is quite poor for flacs according to some
- durability/quality check is quite poor compared to the past
- annoying capacitive touch buttons
- no expandable memory slot

Hisound Nova (after latest firmware update)
Was really leaning towards this until i read many users nightmare dealing with this..
- non user friendly updates for non chinese readers
- poor support for flac, skipping the first half a sec at the start of each songs and occasional background noise
- hissing noises still apparent when reading/playing songs from sd card
- buggy interface
- occassional crashes

Colorfly C3
- weird awkward touch buttons
- no FM radio? Aikz ;(
- bulkier compared the other 2
- battery life for flac not that great either
- no customizing eq (con for some)

Hey guys, I need help in finding a mp3 player that doesn't use earphone because I don''t like tangled earphones and it jumps around when I'm running. I'm looking for the type that hang around your neck from behind covering your ear with microSD card to put the mp3 songs in. Not those that use bluetooth, it is a mp3 player by itself. Prefer long battery life and 8GB limit will do. I used to have one but it cannot charge so if you can direct me to a shop or website that sell it, that would be great! Thanks

Thanks for reply 
my budget is range from RM20-RM1000, of cause cheaper is better
but i concern about sound quality, to able to listen clearly of how the background instruments are playing the flow
and yeah, i prefer headphone
