kehyi 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2006 hmm... the w800 got normal headphone jack ah? i wonder if the SQ of the sony ericsson walkman phones is any good... i was considering getting a MP3 phone, but after a while, i decided that i'd rather get a cheapo phone instead of an expensive walkman phone... and use the 'saved' money to buy a shuffle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleLightning 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 erm, guys, i'm using a w800i with my new um1 and ....... there's a very loud noticeable hiss even the um1 is just plugged in, sigh, i think i bought an overly sensitive iem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiGdUb 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 ya, the sony ericsson walkman phones have a very loud background hiss if used with sensitive earphones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleLightning 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) can anyone suggest a suitable DAP for the UM1 (no hiss at all, none, zilch) and i want something quiet... (i usually listen to music at the lowest levels) iaudio U3? Sony E507? Sony HD-5? Samsung YP-Z5F? Edited June 10, 2006 by PurpleLightning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaron-xp 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 I am a Creative supporter, and so, I'll suggest the Zen Micro. Listen at the minimum volume too, without any audible hiss. (unless my ears can't hear them, which is highly unlikely.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kippei 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2006 So far the audiophile brand of DAP are Iriver and Iaudio. But i love my Iaudio u3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
