thechronic Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm looking for a good mp3 player, with about 16GB Storage, something of a display to it, good build quality, decent battery life and of course good quality audio. I don't want an iPod, not saying they're not good but i want to try something different! (had in the past). Budget ?80 - ?120. Any thoughts or recommendations?

+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted November 17, 2014 Subscriber¹ Share Posted November 17, 2014 i recommend looking at sandisk sansa line. they have great sound for the price, you can mod them to different software, they cost less... sounds perfect for you to try. i have sansa clip + and i love it. putting http://www.rockbox.org/ on it makes it super customizable!

beanboy89 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Just find a cheap prepaid Android or Windows Phone. Most all of them have relatively decent screens and MicroSD expansion support of at least 32 GB. The Lumia 520/521/530 line can be found for about $50 here in the USA and can support 64 GB Micro SD cards. francescob and BillyJack 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link6155 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cheap Android + PowerAmp. PowerAmp is by far the best music player, using it with a good pair of headphones will make your music sound phenomenal. iPods are good if you want a nice build quality and non-laggy simple interface, but the sound is alright.

francescob Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 MP3 players? What is this? 2001? Buy a larger microSD for your phone and the problem is solved. TruckWEB and T3X4S 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juguard Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 MP3 players? What is this? 2001? Buy a larger microSD for your phone and the problem is solved. Umm, maybe he needs it for workout, or something. Sucks working out with a huge phone. MP3 players are great for that. +E.Worm Jimmy and thechronic 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiretap Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I still prefer the sound quality of the older Microsoft Zune which had a custom spec Wolfson audio DAC.. I know they are not in production anymore, but for the same price as a used Zune, most cheaper audio/MP3 players today still don't have better sound quality IMO. There are still threads on Head-Fi about it you can research. The good thing is, there are still a lot of places that carry replacement parts for them and they're easy to fix.

techbeck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 These days, I just use an old cell phone as an MP3 player. Use my SGS1 when I am doing yard work. Pam14160 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
