any comments about N95 8gb sound clarity ??

Hey i hav a "N91 4GB Music addition", n believe me i dnt evn feel a NEED for an iPod or nething else...

fav songs are...

Greenday - boulevard of broken dreams
Metallica - Harvester of sorrow
Snoop dogg - rider on the storm
Ludacris - act the fool
kid rock - bawitdaba
n many more...

I don't think I ever felt that I should listen to my iPod rather than N95. For me N95 is comparable to iPod and even has got a little edge due to the Equaliser.

Note- I am talking about iPod shuffle.

I listen to plethora of genres - rock, pop, rnb, techno, reggae, rap, instrumental, alternative, fusion ...... blah blah

Which sony walkman was bad ? This is what I have, and no offences.. it really dwarfs the iPod...

@ synergiser
Read my post again! i said the sony walkmans are good. and they come with real good headphones too. and the newer ones support d&d.
Its the sony ericsson walkman phones which have pathetic sound quality.
for people who think otherwise, just listen to any of the newer nokia n series or xpress music, moto rokrs, and high end samsung phones!
@spider web i agree bro. i have a n91 8gb and its sound quality is on a diff level altogether.

@sam92 N95 sound quality is v. good imho.

I have used 4 Walkmans Phones, They have got best quality when compared to ipods and the variable equializer settings with best one as MEGABASS. Of All W Series 910 and 700 are best as i felt with easy to operate even with out taking it out (If you knw the shortcuts). Added with bud-type ear phones.

Well comiong back to topic.

I music without any vocal will do for me. The Dark Knight OST has few best.

This I have been doing from a long long time.. especially if I am drenched in the rain while riding within city in the night on the ring road :P.. other times, I make my own songs out of my own words(I mean words that dont have any meaning in english/hindi etc)... It's fun..

Well, I just like to hear my bike's thump, her exhaust note gives me all the base I need. (haha).

I like bullet's thump as of now .but had phones like SE K810i ,SE W810i etc which sound superb although they are mobile phones.

Currently ,I got a N73ME which I use for browsing sometimes via gprs(idea).

I dont like riding bike hearing music though

Really had to share this hilarious moment....
One beautiful evening, around 5pm...was on cadbury flyover(thane) its a nice straight flyover of 2.5 kms...on my 180, listening to As I lay dying(death metal)..i always am on triple digits on that stretch(180ug3)...I had a w200i(in my front pocket of the denim) and in ear-phones(HPM-70), when suddenly the music stopped, total eerie silence coz of the vaccum created by the plugged ear phones... i was concentrating on the road, when i realised the music had stopped...meri fat gayi! i checked my pocket no phone,my ear phone was slappin my buttt real hard, whn i realized the phone had slipped out !!!!!! shit...i checked my rvm, there was a pink estillo with a visible crater in its windshield!!! and the driver with his hand waving out in anger, i was shit scared, coz of the sudden rush of thoughts that came screaming down in my mind which was quiet for like 5 seconds....stuff like I am anyways broke, paying him for the windshield was outta question at the same time was wondering if i would get my 1gb of life back!! what if someone important called!!.....TOok a deep breath, and i ripped of the flyover blurring the cars image, dodged a usual truck swerving from the centre of the road and bang in front of me when i was at around 121,(the truckers dont believe that a bike like pulsar can come close to there truck so quickly, cut to the left, down shift, blast offff...got of the flyover, as the feeling of loosing the phone set in, with every part of the body coming upto my mouth i actually ran a km. back on the flyover with traffic zooming in towards me, first i found the shiny front panel, then the main body, then the battery!! i was amzed, that phone has stuck to me till date...have ended up spending on it more thatn its actual worth..

i didnt understand one thing.

you spend some money on IPOD.
then you come to know that IT sucks.
then you spend some more money getting good speakers headphones docks etc.
you see the tech of IPOD is such ***** thats why u find so many accessory to boost its volume.

look at sony A series walkmans.EX90 headphones BUNDLED and zero accessories.cause you dont need any.that is what i call dedicated tech.

+1 bro
You have got brilliant mp3 players from creative, cowon, sony, sandisk all of which trump the ipod in sound quality, functionality, ease of use, price and battery life.

Riaz, I used to have the w700i before. I have also used the w810i a lot. Agree with you on all points except the sound quality,which leaves a lot to be desired.

Generally I dont listen to music while riding but I have a cowon d2 which is sometimes used to get away from all the noise! still keep it at a low volume like 10 (max it goes to is 50) while riding though. coupled with a good pair of earphones it the player does make riding a lot more enjoyable for me atleast.

Cowon d2! awesome, 10 is loud enough on that i suppose! what headphones do you use with it?

previously was using ep-630 now using sennheiser CX-400. its partly cause of the earphones why the volume is so low cause while riding with my ep-630 i used to keep the volume at 15 or more just so that music is audible enough.
