After following advice from www.anythingbutipod.com I decided to buy a Cowon S9.
£150 from a US site. Came today.
Superb bit of kit. By far the best sound I've ever heard from a portable device.
You can stick your ipod up your arse.

mp3 players are much of a muchness - it's the headphones that are important for better audio playback. I use these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monster-Beats-Noise-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B001DD55OE
fantastic bit of kit for all genres - cost more than the players though! |

With phones like those you would notice a massive difference with a Cowon.
Soundstaging innit. |

Think there's something wrong with amazon, it says that those earphones cost more than 230 blips. Hand on... I'll refresh.

What's the capacity? My iPod is great with Shure SE-530s and has 160 gig, which can get about 80% of my music on it.

I got those headphones after I got 2 yankees up in 2 days on here about 6 months ago and won nearly 10k - wouldn't normally spend that much! Curious - to an extent maybe but there is so much else take into account - compression and quality of mp3's to start with. I use a mac anyway so my 'touch' also acts as a remote for my computer so it makes sense for me to have that but I'm not an ipod fascist. I still hold that with a decent part of headphones you couldn't really tell 1 mp3 player from another.

So are those Shure SE530s really worth the £220 I need to pay for them?
|

I had a pair of Bose phones prior to the SE-530s, (cost around £70 at the time). The Shure's are a dramatic improvement, not only in sound quality, but also in fit / comfort. I's say if £220 is not a problem for you for something like this, then get them, otherwise you can get cheaper versions of Shure phones that will do a good job for you I'm sure (forgive the pun).

Here's a brief review I just located:
Representing the earphone camp, Shure's SE530s are arguably the best earphones in the world; they're also among the most expensive. With three separate drivers in each ear, they produce a massive wall of sound, each with loads of detail, amazing mids and skull-crushing bass, but at the expense of your wallet. |

Cheers. I'm tempted..... using cheapo Sennheiser PX100s atm.
