Poll of the Day > MP3 player recommendations?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Thinking of getting it as a backup, in my case my phone's audio jack goes bad.

The issue I've had with recent MP3 players is that they're all super quiet though.

I use a fiio x1 2nd generation. It works really well for what I need. It uses removeable microSD storage. Fiio is a good brand, but I am only familiar with my X1-II. I havent had any quiet issues with it, though there is aqn option to switch between headphones and line in, I guess to unlock higher volumes when you use an AUX cord or something. I've never really needed to use that.

I honestly don't see the point of an mp3 player as a backup. I don't use spotify or anything so I wouldn't use my phone if I have a dedicated MP3 player.

Phones are terrible for that purpose. I had a Rio once which was good. When that stopped turning on one day I found a Sony Walkman. Yep, still a thing just without cassettes. Nice and small with several sound adjustments.

isn't Winamp the obvious answer? does no one use that anymore?

He means an actual physical device, not a program.

ah yes. in that case I too wonder if there's a decent generic mp3 player that just lets you put audio files on it with relatively no fuss. dealing with itunes and iphone all the time is such a lousy user experience.

Ipods are terrible and stupid simply because you either need itunes to transfer songs, or some kind of workaround to transfer. Though I mean the 2000s ipods, I havent kept up with them since like 2006.

My Fiio-X1-II fits the bill. Removeable storage(microsd) so you just drag and drop files.

an ipod, zune, or walkman

maybe one of those rare samsung galaxy players they made years ago, too

those are really the only good ones

unless you buy like a cheapass android phone

I have a 2nd gen Fiio X3. Had an X1 and it broke because it got too hot and the screen fucked up (my fault)

I use a 400gb sb card in it and it works fine.

Highly recommended

I have a pair of sennheiser hd1s I use with it, and they are good enough without breaking the bank
