doomlordis Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 On the old nh600,700,800 and 900 the mini usb port had a plastic clip that covered it. I have a new rh710 , it also has one - wquestion is do they break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 They look like they could or should break, and if you fiddled around with it bending it back and forth enough, it probably would. But... the USB flap on my NH600, which has had almost daily use for well over a year (ie. the USB has been plugged in and out almost every day), shows no sign at all of breaking... so I'd say, no, given a reasonable amount of care...

doomlordis Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 The reason i ask is that when i pull back the cover and look underneath at the join it has clearly split but not through to the front , is yours the same KJ?

KJ_Palmer Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Yes - it really looks totally flimsy, and for a long while I've been expecting it to drop off (pardon the expression). Yes, the cracks are showing, but still it's there, and I think the 'hinge' region of the plastic's just fine. I even just bent it right back and it just wont give. I haven't had a look at the 710 but I'm pretty sure they're the same material. I can't swear that it will never come off.. but still looks good to me...I wouldn't worry too much, Doom (apt name eh?) - the worse that can happen is that you'll get a bit of fluff in the socket. The supposedly more solid USB shutter on my RH10 keeps popping open, which is more annoying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomlordis Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 thanks i am thinking about a RH10 how do you rate it against nh900 (i have had one of those) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've still got both RH10 and NH900... The RH10 sounds slightly better to me direct through the headphones, but the NH900 has that handy line out function, great for amped listening and though a stereo and so I'm not letting go of that either... And of course, if you want legacy formats, the 900 is a must. As is the RH10 for MP3, and a great display.... Er, so I'm keeping both...Have fun deciding...
