NOiPod

G-Man I was wondering if you could post some pics of both players playing the same video? Are you watching videos on them? Which one is louder out of the 2 players, I found the touch to be a bit louder than the Sony.

I popped into Selfridges today and saw this, had a play with it as the rep had it so I asked him to let me use it, put in the earphones which came with the nwa808 and nahh didn't sound as good as the nwa808! The screen is nice tho, big size the simpson episodes looked good, however 16:9 films do look smaller due to the black bars and it being a 4:3 screen, touch interface was easy to use, nice thin player. I will wait till the Sammy YP-P2 8gb comes out, with it having a 16:9 screen it should show videos more fuller than the touch. Hmmmm to keep the nwa808 which I have been happy with several months now, or buy either the touch or sammy after it's been released. I'll purchase it from AMP3 and test it and return if neccesary. P.S was also playing with the new Leopard on mac its brilliant! Wish I had enough money to buy a mac dohh.

Wow looks like a lil beauty this does!! Will have to see if these pop up on eBay once released.

Nice settings just tried it, bass is good with this.

Nice one, Im still using the stock headphones, with my EQ settings as CB +3, +2,+1,+1,+2,Treb +3, listening to HipHop, Rock and R&B. I think I just need some better phones, ex82s are good but just punch out tiny sounds on certain parts of a song, and with EQ on flat, it doesn't sound as good as when Ive got a custom EQ.

Yeah I was reading through your guide on HF, so do I just cover it, like on top of it around it, and then make a hole through the middle, does the hole need to break only the cling film, or does it have to break the clingfilm and the mesh in the middle vent, that is what I'm confused about. Cheers

Hey all, just got my Japanese NW-A808, and to be honest I find the sound a bit to low lol. Not loud enough for my taste, even at the loudest volume I can hear some form of background noise, the noise cancelling on the highest volume for my ears is not effective enough. My w810i mobile phone is louder than this unit. On flat it does sound a bit louder but then sound quality is not as good as the custom equalizer I got on. The sound quality is excellent but not loud enough for me, I think the maximum is 5mw?? The headphones are good for stock phones, sound 100 times better than the Nokia in ear headphones, and my w810i headphones. I think Im so use to loud volume, that I find the volume on this unit low, if I can hear background nosie in my house when people are talking, then I wonder how it will be like in the tube which is noisy!! Ill find out tomorrow. The screen is amazing, colours look fantastic and it is bright,even some of the youtube videos look fantastic on the 2" screen. Pictures look nice and bold and detailed. I wish it had gapless playback for mp3s maybe future firmware can solve this if we haggle Sony. The search feature is very easy to use and effective. I like the recent transfers option, whereby I can see the songs Ive added recently, 2nd, and 3rd recently. Sonicstage is easy to use, not ahd any problems with it apart from it taking ages to connect to the player, and slow transfer speeds, other than that not much of a problem using SS. Overall, a great little player, better looking and sounding than the nano, the only downside for me is the low volume output as personally I'm use to louder output, maybe better IEM's will sort this out, any recomendations? I doubt that the UK version will have a volume limit on it.

Theres a shop on Edgware Road that sell the player, not sure if they sell the cases tho. Called KK Electronics, NW-A808 White currently £179.99 on their website. Will visit the shop when Im next at Edgware Road smoking sheesha

Lol thats funny, most of the people working in these stores are not properly trained, you do get those who know their sh** and thsoe who don't! If he thinks that the iPod white headphones are cool, then he needs to take a look at the white headphones of the NW-A800 white editions! In looks wise and sound wise they kill the iPod phones.

Check the track in SonicStage and go to its properties, the track may have a different album art.

Generally an MP3 player will have much better sound than a phone device, I have a w810i and my girl has one one of the older sony stick sports mp3 player, her mp3 player kills my w810i, even tested with same tracks on both devices with pair of decent headphones, however my mate had an n91 and it sounded decent with CX300's. End of the day what do you want? A phone with mp3 support, or a stand alone mp3 player. Your decision on what you will use the most.

Thats reasonable, Ive been playing around with videos to see file sizez, file size depends on the quality Ive used etc. My main use will be with music so I reckon I can get near 1200ish on lame 3.72 v2, and a few music videos/episodes.

Not bad, Im sorting my library out on sonicstage so once I get the player I can transfer over, getting the grips on SS, coming from an Itunes users and drag and drop, just gotta get use to the dynamic playlists etc albums is not an issue.

Just jumped on the bandwagon and after following this forum for a few weeks went and bought one of eBay. Went for the nwa808. Was wandering how much content currently you have filled up on your players, songs, videos etc. Would give me a rough idea on how much these babies can hold. Thanks.

Go for it, I just ordered one from Air-Lambo on eBay, very good seller and friendly, cant wait to recieve the product.
