Both can be Rockboxed, if that matters to you. I just like the menu and wheel of the Fuze, so if that is not an advantage, get the Clip pa din.

I understand the need for the wheel on the Fuze.

Hassle nga naman isa-isahin yung mga tracks which was fine when the Clip was a 2GB machine but not now that it's an 8GB + Micro SD expansion pa.

May video nga din pala yung Fuze. Which might be important for those clips that were being discussed by the WS group that I met when I was in Manila a couple of months back. :D

I'll check it out and see if I can live with the size. What I like about the Clip is that I can "clip" it at the back of my collar and it doesn't weigh a thing.

For $80 for the 8GB version it's a no brainer. If you thought you need a headphone amp to get good sound, try a Clip / Fuze and think again!

I aslo have the Ainol V6000HDA 16GB, being used for videos only. SQ is fair enough, Cirrus Logic ang DAC, di ko masyado nagagamit kasi i have ipods, sansa e250, zens. Trying to sell that Ainol pero hirap, benta ko sana at bili uli Chinese PMP(they're good in video, no conversion needed). Also trying to get 2nd hand walkman and zune.

sir audio80 kailan ba balik mo sa pinas?may nakita ka ba Ainol v8000hdc?

guys if you wanna try chinese PMPs, visit mp4nation.

i still have my very first dedicated MP3 player using CF cards, it can still pack a punch but the reason i'm not using it much anymore it because this NEXII has a thumping sound when turning on-off or even when changing music

my first from almost 7yrs ago :lol:

@j-audio
yes those MP4 from china brands really have very nice Video even sa output nya sa TV, kinoconnect ko sa TV yung V6000HDA at ok naman sya.
nakita ko yung V8000hdV & & hDW na nasa mga $900+ sila so mga $700+ siguro yung hdc
baka makapag bakasyon ng 3 days sa Sept :P

i'm looking for the RAMOS MP4 & nag libot ako at kahit isang store walang Vuze or Sansa ;(
will try Central or some parts of Mongkok

ayos yung CF card mp3 player mo. try to open it, baka kailangan lang replace caps nyan, especially across the batt.
how about android tablets?mura ba dyan?
if ever may makita ka 3inch android pmp pls. inform me. wala pa kasi yung bagong yepp at archos 32 at mukhang mahal.
may android chinese phones na din ba dyan?
nung pumunta ako last year sa HK, nabili ko AKG headphone at yun Ainol v6000hda.na mod ko na firmware nung hda, aesthetics lang.
sa sham shui po nga pala dami audio stores.
thanks. regards.

i've just tried Dave Brubecks Take Five on an NDSL + AKGP26 & it sounded real good. although moonshell's MP3 player on the NDS has no option for any tone adjustment it was slightly better than my dedicated MP3 players. Too bad that the Volume is not that loud enough for me :lol:

Wow a $790 PMP with modular headphone amp section. They must be very confident with the sound quality to charge that much.

i also tried the ones from Creative, those 4G MD types, they sound lousy :(
yowch. Maybe I'm just reacting out of loyalty (after all that me and my MuVo have been through.) heheheh. peace. ;)

I only had my ipod 120gb rockboxed last week. So far, so good. Still the best PMP for me.

I think someday this will be considered one of the icons of the 21st century. Something that belongs in an Andy Warhol artwork collection.
