Pros Bright, non-offensive highs, great horns, deep bass, handles plenty of power.

Recommended it? Yes

Once in a while, a product I purchase far exceeds my expectations. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's something I really, truly enjoy. This is one of those products.

I'm an audiophile. I have a rather extensive collection of CD's (over 600 at last count), I'm really diverse in... Read full review »

Intro - I seem to have had a lifelong love affair with portable audio. As I noted in my earlier review of the Sandisk Sansa E 260 ( http://www.epinions.com/content_370631151236 ), I was into portable audio before iPod was ever a strange look on Steve Jobs' face as he was shaving at 5 AM.
