used to have an NWZ E443, 8GB internal, 8hrs playback, but it finally died

so I look out for a replacement
I saw a 4GB version, but it cost P4K+
then I saw the CM Flare 3, and (bell rings)
why not?
for the same price I can have an MP3 Player, a phone, etc.
just look for the best music player and you’re good to go
batter life? well in flight mode I think it can go a full days worth.

Sweet deal sana. 128gb internal storage + micro sd slot kaso sobrang mahal para sa mp3 player.

even for hardcore audiophiles, $1.2K is a lot of money.

however if you are a pro or from the music industry this looks like a must have gadget even if it hurts the pocket a bit much.

wtf!
P51K+ for a music player?!
no way I’d rather buy a flagship smartphone

don’t be surprised that a serious music player is priced 50K when “mere” headphones cost just as much.

Mahal! Iphone 6 plus, note 4 or other high end phones na lang kesa dito. Di na kasi uso ang ganitong devices like what happen to ipod. People want all in 1 device.

Walkman nwzx2 for $1.2K?
Astell and Kern AK240 for $2.5K

No thanks.

I’ll just settle for Neil Young’s PonoPlayer which costs ‘only’ $400.

Sure the Walkman and AK have better features but dollar for dollar, the PonoPlayer is the better choice.

PonoPlayer needs to improve on its battery life though.
