Hello to all and a couple of questions^^

Question

First of all hi everybody, I've been lurking around for quite some time and finally decided to join this great community.

Let me start with couple of questions :huh: Be patient please^^

Small intro first though:

Long time ago I bought the legendary MZ-R37 MD unit, and was simply amazed by the quality of sound (very loud thingy) and construction of that little gadget (well, it was a "little gadget" back then :) ). I put my trust into Sony once again and recently bought an NW-E002 for a ridiculously (did I spell this right :blink:) small price, and Sony amazed me yet again at first glance. Design is great, battery even better, and it's a very cool gadget to have around. But... it happens to be that I live in Europe (Croatia to be more precise) and my player subdues to this uber cool European loudness standard :o . Ergo, the thing is not loud enough for my years-of-drumming-tormented ears. I thought about replacing it, but felt bad for getting rid of this cool player I obviously under-payed.

So, finally the question is: how can I get a bit louder sound? I use the headphones that came with the player, they sound ok but maybe I could get more with another model. Someone told me about Koss The Plug headphones (earbuds), anyone had an experience with those? Or simply recommend smth else.

Nest couple of questions: How can I find out which firmware version my player has? And what do I get with new firmware versions? And, is it possible to update my player with a non-European firmware to squeeze out more juice?

And finally, do European versions of NW-E00x players have different hardware than non-European versions, or is this volume deprivation just a matter of some software adjustment?

Thank you very much for reading probably the longest post I've written in last 5 years.

Cya!

hi, welcome to atraclife! :)

I´m not sure about the volume, on the HDD devices it could be hacked, but don´t know with the flash devices.

About the earphones, I suggest you to buy better earphones.

fore example:

creative EP630/EP-635: great sound for the money and a huge improvement on the standard earphones. they are IEM. (in-ear)

you could go for sennheiser CX300 (don´t recommend sony EX71) or even shure E2C, but that´s a tad higher.

I suggest you´d go with the creatives I just mentioned for starters.

if you want headphones, sennheiser PX100 is a good deal for around 30 euros.

Hi Newbie Pro, go into the Menu> Advanced Menu> Information> number 4 is the version of the firmware on ur player, if u havent done any update, it should be 1.00

How bad is the volume on the Nw e02, I was considering buying one.

Let's just say that some songs play loud, some don't depending on the quality and original loudness of the mp3/wma/whatever. The volume slider goes up to 30, and if it went to 35 player would be great.Or at least 33. You just keep missing those couple of precious dB^^
