I want to buy an mp3 player with very good (damn good) sound clarity.I dont need to use it 4 any other purpose like data transfer , video player etc. ONLY REQD. FOR PLAYING MP3 and nothing else. Capacity may be 1 gb or so (dont need capacity but good mp3 quality) ,Sorry to repeat but nowdays people want more functions and dont care abt quality. Now hold ur breath my budget is only 2k . i know abt T.sonic 610 (fitz my budget) but looking for better stuff .So plz guyz help me out .I'll buy it from delhi

You may look at the creative MuVo series.A friend had one and with stock earphones it sounded better than my Tsonic(of course with the Tsonic paired with my ep630 earphones it didn't stand a chance).
Look here : *shopping.sify.com/shopping/category.php?pid=13177127

ep630 earphones cost along with tsonic
1600 + 2000 = 3600 rs......my budget is 2k
creative muvo 200 1gb mp3 player sounds good .Has anyone tried it .Is sound quality better than tsonic with normal headphones...how does it charge via usb or charger?

I have the Creative MuVo TX FM 1GB. Don't know how much it costs here. It was a gift for me :) Sound quality is good. There is equal output of the lows, mids and the highs. I also got to listen to the earphones bundled with the T-Sonic. The lows are awesome, but it somehow lacks the punch in the mids. I liked it though. Since, I'm a bass freak, I liked the earphones of T-Sonic than my Creative :p

Sorry for double post guys .This browser has been buggy for quite some time. So things need to be clicked hellishly while posting threads...
And i got those prices from ebay india ( i know prices are region specific , i'm not dumb)
and techtree.com india, priceguru.in , npithub (nehru place website) and average is around 5k .U r saying ipod shuffle costs only 2.5 k .Really ? Are u sure the ipod u r taking about is genuine apple ! as i said i live in Delhi

In Reliance-Digital (ShipraMall NCR), 1 GB Ipod shuffle costs 5.6K. My friend bought it last month.

Anyone else who bought apple ipod shuffle 1gb in 2.5k ?(enticer86 i trust u but still i am not buying from metrowalk but Nehru Place...sooo)
And reliance is not so idiotic that they will sell it so expensive while competitors selling same stuff in less than half ...so doubtful buddy..

Creative Zen Store or Sandisk SANSA express. Go for any of these

^^ wait fr tomoro---by noon i wil let ya kno
Ihatemyself
Jun 27, 2007 at 9:28 PM
Sandisk sansa doesn't seem to be a good option .Miniumum storage available is 2gb in 7k to 9k (depending on models). Prices of 1 gb models from various websites and this thread
1. Tsonic 610 (2.2k)
3. Tsonic 630 (2.6k)
4. Creative Muvo v200 (2k)
5. Creative zen stone (not store buddy cost 2.9 k)
6. Ipod shuffle (hmmm, may cost 2.5 from metrowalk or 6k elsewhere)
Now can anyone give a brief comparison and tell me which offer best sound quality .My budget is still around 2k (may go up by 500 rs)
Plz correct me if i'm wrong about prices .Creative zen stone seems interesting ....Can i buy it without speakers and only do with earphones

Get a Tsonic T610 + Creative EP630.
Adjust the equalizer and you will get terrific sound with excellent bass.

dunno much about shuffle. But, it lacks a display. Tsonic is loaded with features. You get MP3/WMA + FM radio+Voice recording+Pendrive+excellent Oled display all at a decent price. I would say, go for it.
Although the provided earphones are good. But if you want that extra bass and noise isolation, go for EP630

Jun 27, 2007 at 9:42 PM
Creative zen stone .what abt it!
as i said t sonic = 2.2k
ep630 = 1.2k
totals =3.4k so not possible. this is the problem man otherwise i wud have gone with ipod.i want music and nothing else not even lcd display
Lucky_star
Jun 27, 2007 at 9:55 PM
Then buy the Tsonic for the present.
The earphones provided also does the job well.
Otherwise you can use those large frontech/Intex/Techcom/Iball headphones with it too..

^^ hey m extremely sorry

tht was not 2.5 it was 3.5k .... :( very sorry fr u
bt yaar my experience says iPod, n nuthin bt the iPod gives sheer pleasure for music
Ihatemyself
Jun 28, 2007 at 10:31 AM
3.5 k .now r u sure! Then why have all websites priced it about 5.6 k (excluding shipment and all) and above buddy .Try to understand ..why will metrowalk sell it in so less ...while others sell it above 5k.
Anyone who can see the list of mp3 i've suggested and tell which has best sound quality (exclude ipod shuffle i'll see what it costs in Nehru Place)
CNET editor rates Creative Zen Stone best in my budget ( without speakers it costs just 1.6 k)

yeah
try futurebazaar.com and indiaplaza.in

n hey guys m not here to argue.. if u want sheer sound quality u need to spend sm more bucks yaar.. mp3 player, the local ones, u can also get fr less thn 1k with earphones n all bt thn there has to b sm difference in Digital music and the analogue one

No wonder ppl don try Bose products, but if u try even the Bose radio, u wil kno the diff.

Right enticer but thats why i'm here ...To get best out of my budget ...thinking smart can get you more than you expect.
Here is the punch ...acc to cnet
"Though the Stone(creative zen stone) may have taken its design cues from the popular iPod, it outshines the latter in 'sound quality' and costs only half the price: the 1GB Stone lists at a mere $39.99."
So what do you call it...quality of ipod in half the price ..i only need to replace ear buds provided with it....
Zen stone is a revolution in mp3 players which gives excellent performance in very less price....
Any one any objections

Hey hey hey good news my uncle is coming from australia via singapore .... so my budget has increased to around 11k ( u know how ! ) .Now i wanna ask a few questions :
1. Will mp3 players cost less in Singapore or Australia or India ( i think singapore) and how much wud be the difference
2. Do the mp3 players made for India and made for Other developed nations ( like i've mentioned ) have same quality.
3. Which mp3 and video player shd i buy . Currently i know three in best ones: ipod 5th generation , Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB ,Creative Zen Vision wide 30 gb
Mention prices in Delhi in ur post ( prices direct from shops preferred ebay etc
do not seem to be accurate)

Remember i want 'best sound quality' (damn good) and durable mp3 player ( Scratchproof and unbreakable preferred though i know this is really difficult but do comment on durability)
Will warranty of mp3 player have some utility in India .

go fr ipod vid 30gb one now
n ask ur uncle if he wants to b my uncle too :p

Jul 1, 2007 at 10:32 PM
Hmm if you do not mind size, go for the creative player instead, the Zen Vision W 30GB. Especially, if you want videos. Video on ipod's screen and ZenVisionW's screen are class apart. And oh with creative you wont have to bother about bloatware called iTunes.
Ihatemyself
Jul 2, 2007 at 5:47 PM
yeah Ipod's good ( i doubt battery life) but no one has mentioned costs from both places. Can u also compare prices of ipod 4th generation and ipod fifth generation video prices. If the mp3 player costs more in singapore than there is no pt buying it from there ! So please tell me the difference .....! I have to tell uncle what i wanna buy within a day so make it fast plz .And can anyone compare the three mp3 players i gave wid prices . i think again budget problem 4 creative w zen vision it costs around 18 k
