Love the Camo Holds more songs than relized but would appreciate more GB. Would like if it could connect to a phone because it all ready looks like a jabra but would cost too much. January 12, 2011
The only option As a trail specific runner in the Pacific Northwest I see a vast array of terrain and conditions. I've given up on the IPOD as not sturdy enough to survive long ultras or significant training runs on cold, wet days over changing terrain. The player has held up well so far and the sound quality is great. I enjoy being hands free and I only adjust the unit occasionally. I've been soaked in sweat with no real difference in sound quality, controls are easy to use and its comfortable to wear...forget I have it on sometimes. I would like some small adjustments although I think that would bump up the price....I would still by the thing even at $100 bucks....they work and they dont fall out or get waterlogged with sweat...love em November 17, 2010
Clearly amazing. In all honesty, when I first got it, I was impressed, but still wondering about the capability of the device itself. Being a Metal Gear Solid player, I just had to get this...and use it(I'll be getting an X-series soon). Immediately, I could hear and "feel" the difference between what headphones/earbuds I had...and what I was hearing. Always consistent, always crystal clear...and absolutely easy. With such a simple design, most would overlook it, but it's Sony who took a simple design and made it elegant, "sporty," and brimming with functionality. The ability to play all tracks on the player or specific playlists, to shuffle(or not), etc...at a very convenient location...is something that few people appreciate... I'd say...this is a grand investment...and for my long journeys, this is just the thing I wanted. Whether it be sneaking around(under a cardboard box), or sparring with friends, running a few miles at night, or in all-out AirSoft war, this thing delivers time and again. September 15, 2010
Epic!! This is perfect for anyone who just loves listening to music and hates to have the wires dangling and causing the earbud to fall off. Those moments of frustration are over. Sound quality is amazing with the added bass, along with a comfortable design that, unless you use your hands, will not fall off and does not interfere with the sound quality due to positioning. If you want to buy this, just do it. You will not be disappointed. September 2, 2010
