Heyz there! I have quite a number of questions here...

**********************

Question 1: [add theme song here]

Recently I borrowed my friend's Samsung U3 and compare it to my Sony NWD B103F. I realized that the function for "shuffle" is much different: U3's shuffle do not include repeat function whereas B103F's shuffle includes repeat function; that is, shuffle in U3 will not repeat the same songs being played before (unless restarting the player or all the song has been played already) whereas shuffle in B103F will at times repeat what has been played before (sometimes when I press 'next', it will play the same current song again T.T).

Is this true for all Samsung mp3 players (that is, 'shuffle' = shuffle ONLY) and Sony mp3 players  (that is, 'shuffle' = shuffle + repeat) respectively? I find it irritating for the Sony to repeat the same song again.

**********************
Answer:There are 2 mode in sony, 1 is shuffle and 1 is shuffle+repeat. I think u must be using shuffle+repeat.

Question 3:

Can Samsung K3 beat all of Sony's mp3 players in terms of sound quality? What's the current price of K3 now?

**********************
Answer:Actually sony are using samsung's chips. So basically there all share the same quality. But trust me, u will never wrong with sony.

Question 4:

How does the bitrate of an mp3 (e.g. 128kps, 320kps, etc.) affects the quality of the mp3? Does it affect in terms of amplitude (loudness), frequency range (pitch) or something else?

**********************
Answer:The bitrate mainly affect the detail of one song. U will heard more detailed background sound, instrument etc when using high bitrate songs.

Hey there!

I need advice in buying a video walkman...

Among these models:

1) Samsung's T10 4GB [RM539]
2) Sony's NWZ-A726 4GB [RM599]
3) Sony's NWZ-S616 4GB [RM499]

Which ones are better in terms of SQ? Which one is worth it in price? [Ignore Bluetooth function in T10] Btw, does Sony's NWZ-S616 have "shuffle" function (without "repeat")?

Thanks in advance. =D
*
Get the S616. I used to have one. The sq is damn good. But bear in mind that the stock earphone os sux. If not mistaken, the A726 comes with a sony EX earphone. I used to have one. The sound is the best among stock MP3 earphone. It depends on u, if u do not plan to stick to stock earphone, get the 616 and save the 100 bucks for a better earphone. Regarding the shuffle+repeat function, if my mind serves me right, S616 does have both, which means 1. shuffle. 2. shuffle+repeat.

Meizu 4GB is RM430, 8GB RM550. Sony is RM400, with noise canceling. Does noise canceling make much difference? Might as well as get 8GB Meizu? Hard to decide  rclxub.gif

yup, it does makes a lot of difference. But bear in mind, the stock earphone is not the best earphone. U might wanna upgrade the earphone later, which will make ur noise cancelling function useless.

My friend has one clip. The sq is quite good, but the supplied earphone is sux. Plus, the player itself looks bad.

I can confirm that the sq is far more better than ipod unamp. I think they will slowly introduce it into asian market coz unicode is coming soon for zune.

The sony sq is far superior than the ipod, but remember, girls prefer pretty things than those high quality sq thingy, she might not like the sony's design. so u better think twice.

ya, already told her abt which she wants. apparently she wants good SQ  rolleyes.gif Walkman also got pink colour.

for IPod, even if we use good quality headphone, would it make difference?

anyway, we gonna test them out soon, see which one she like and prefer. Is the price at Sony retail shop same as stated in sony-style website?

thanks guys...

Yup, it will definitely makes a different, but still sony will perform better than ipod using the same earphone. Btw, Sony stock earphone is better than ipod stock. Usually sony reseller will give some discount from the price of sony style website.

d B130F series has agood sound? beside from sound quality, i nid to consider d userfriendly menu(when search song) such like ipod nano(reli userfriendly)..

r d sony walkman mp3/mp4 userfriendly??

ps: A728 series bundle with wat earphone?? same as d Sony Walkman NWZ-S739F earphone??

If u want user friendliness, get the mp4, coz it got screen for u to choose songs. Nope a728 doesnt comes with noice cancelling earphone like the s7 series. But the ex earphone that bundle with it is very promising.

ps: sry for my lousy english(hope u guys willl understand it)

Erm...For the noise cancelling earphone, it did suffer from quality issue, mostly the wire part. So, better get one with more warranty.


Added on July 18, 2009, 9:43 pmFor the sound quality wise, E4 series sure not that good. I never tried A series before, but for the s series, u wont go wrong with it. It is on par with my zune if not better.

Yup, for those who have high end IEM, i dont think the earphone is useful as those IEM already provide very good isolation. IT is good when u just plan to use out of the box without upgrade. My NC earphone still sit inside the box as i am more prefer my sf5p.
