I also had the Q2 in fact I owned 2 or 3 of them, dog ate one, etc. they perform the same functions. In fact the Q3 performs them better. You will appreciate the upgrade. Important: Do a firmware upgrade on it before you start using it, gt help from Blue Ant if you need it, else just follow the directions. But yes listening the music and any other function your Q2 performed works well on the Q3.

Hi... I wish I could give you a better answer, BUT, my broke 2 weeks into having it. Never really got to experience it !! It was returned.

Very similar but I think the sound quality is a bit tinny. I tried listening to music, but rather use my earbuds.

Hey thank you very much for your info. Is there any better MP3 players? Like which ones?Thank you once again!

Yes the G3x can get the update too, it is a big difference, the effects are the same but it has the new ability to chain 6 effects in any order instead of just 3.it also incorporates some new amp models. Be careful, follow the instructions and never disconect the usb until finished, enjoy...!

Hi SamuelWhy would you NOT pick the Zoom Q3?Because the Q3 doesn't have a proper manual level setting. It offers you Low, High and Auto. "Low" is 24 dB lower than "High", that's a big jump. "Auto" lowers the recording level when it needs to, but never raises it. Unfortunately, it doesn't put markers in the file to tell you when it lowered or how much it lowered, which makes it a bitch to correct the audio file for level changes. And if the applause after your first number is louder than your second number's going to be, you have to turn off the Q3 and start over.The Q3 can use the same wall-plug power unit as the H mics, but it's not included in the nice price. If none of this bugs you. its a really great machine. Hi SamuelWhy would you NOT pick the Zoom Q3?Because the Q3 doesn't have a proper manual level setting. It offers you Low, High and Auto.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.

I think you're getting a bit too excited. All electronic products phase out for the new.The product is good in all ways. As far as accessories, it comes with an AC adapter. I got a case for it at a sound store for around $5 that works well. I bought some Sony earbuds that blow away the ones that come with it. I also bought a VRFM8 from Walmart that is an FM transmitter, to play the Zen to your car radio.The only thing I can imagine that is left is a car charger. (I just bought one on Ebay for $8. I think that's everything.) Plus, it doubles as an external hard drive for backups and such. I'm a happy camper with it. I think you're getting a bit too excited.

HI K.P. - I've have Sonys too and they do break, I also don't like their sound - I flat don't like Sony products. Poor sound from most musical items.These Sennheiser HD 202 II are tough with a basic simple design. They are built with the idea of a ball and socket in stepped adjustments. Seems strong to me. And the sound is very good compared to Sony. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the late response. No. I've searched high, and low. The stiletto 2 was a DISASTER in my opinion. It was my 250.00 paper weight. No matter what I did it NEVER worked right. It was only ever capable of being a simple radio. I could have bought a fifty dollar unit if thats what I wanted. I originally owned a stiletto 100. I then bought a stiletto 2 when my 100 went down in regards to part issues. Keep in mind I used my 100 5 days a week at work, at that time for 3 years. It took a beating. I ended up after two months retiring the Stiletto 2 to storage, and actually having my 100 repaired. I still use it to this day. I've had it since 2008. In regards to the Stilettos, I'm not sure, but I think there were some sort of legal issues involving copyright laws. Sirius decided to simply not deal with them anymore rather then spend time, and money in court. If I were you I would just invest in a basic radio. I would then use the Sirius app on my phone if you want go-to streaming capability. If you have a good phone it should work well. IF NOT I wouldn't bother. I have an iPhone 6+ it works AWESOME, and i'm in an old building all day. You won't have the full control that you would with a Stiletto but at least you"ll have some. Your other option is to cut your losses, and search for a Stiletto 100. There out there. Keep in mind, the 100s have an issue where the battery expands when it gets old(usually constant use in 3 years). Causing the battery to separate from the terminals, and shutting down to restart. Thats why I wanted a Stiletto 2. They improved this issue with the 2 design. Only problem is that the radio doesn't work. When this happens you either have to reinforce with electrical tape, or just simply get a new battery. Good luck buddy. Its a SHAME that they won't allow a DVR radio. I LOVED the Stiletto...

I don't own the Zoom Q4. I know the Q3 has it's issues with HD video quality, but from a sound perspective it's extremely good. I especially like the "line in" feature as I use it as my capture device coming out from my behringer mixer with whatever audio/video I want to record. It's very handy, not bulky and I like that the microphones are protected in this model. On the newer one, I can see where the product can be broken (i.e., the LCD screen, the flip up microphones.) Either way, the audio will be good. As far as durability, I would have reservations about the Q4. I do see that they made the Q4 to hold a lithium ion battery. The Q3 only uses AA batteries which die FAST! So, I always use mine plugged in with the charger I had to purchase separately.

I heard from other people that the Fiio E17 has slightly better and clearer highs, not really noticeable, when listening to certain music like classical, ballad, etc. The E18 has better lows, which make music like EDM, R&B;, Hip-Hop all more enjoyable. I do believe it was said that the E18 does have a bigger soundstage, but that really depends on the capabilities of the headphones/speakers connected to it. Overall, if you already own the E17, then the E18 is not really too big of an upgrade, seeing as they are essentially similar. The E18 does have some features that the E17 does not, but they are more gimmicks/goodies than actual upgrades. And that goes both ways for the E17 as well.

Coincidentally, my local music store had a headphone testing/"sale"(10%, covered tax lol) over the weekend. I own the anniversary ed and , although i was there to pick up my guitar cabinet, I tried out the white K702, along with other headphones. The amplifier used was a different form factor than my own(they had a solid state and i use tube), but the noticeable differences, regardless, where bass and comfort. the Annies performed better in these areas. There are claims that trebles are also improved, more clear and tight, but i would have needed to hear both headphones in the same setup to have noticed.

Hello Melba - I'm pretty certain this player is NOT upgradeable. I have an all-zone Oppo brand player which is, but it costs 5 times as much. Other than that flaw, the Sony unit is a good player, with good sound and picture. And my answer is merely based on reviews by other non-pro users. If I were you, I'd email Sony and ask them too, if you've not already done so. Sorry for the slow response - only got your inquiry yesterday. Good luck.

I had a couple pair of S4's and they sounded really great. The S3's aren't as good and the S6's are too bassy. Someone stole my S4's and I am upset about that. I'm thinking about springing for another replacement pair. They matched well throughout my Mastering process in the studio. Someone can steal my S3's. haha

I think it did but the unit died so I can't check it. I am very sorry this thing didnt last. I was a dedicated creative customer. I still have on of the Zen Nano that is powered by AAA battery. I works like a dream. I hoped the new unit would have the same build quality and well layed out controls. It is a flop. You have to navigate through screens just to tunr down the sound or to pause the music. I bought the smaller Zen player and it works, but the screens are so frustrating to use I want to grab the Creative design engineers and shout in their face: " DID YOU TRY IT BEFORE YOU RELEASED IT FOR SALE???" Likely it has a radio, if you can find it through all the menus. I think it did but the unit died so I can't check it. I am very sorry this thing didnt last. I was a dedicated creative customer.

I have read the same thing, but both J&R Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?
1477376
This packaging looks like the one I have. Once installed you may have to upgrade to 2.3.1, but that's a free upgrade. Depending where you buy it, the seller may simply just want to get it out the door. I believe that I paid $179.00 for my version, that was a year ago, maybe longer. Are you buying it from a store or a private seller? I believe Amazon has some buyer protection, you might want to use that. The 2 stores I typically purchase from are audiodeluxe.com and jrrshop.com, when you get on their email list you will receive tons of offers selling this stuff at really low prices. And the price you mentioned would not be out of line in one of their sales. It's to the point where I wont buy anything unless it on sale and at least 50-60% off, and every month or two, you'll find what you're looking for. I hope I've answered your question, if I haven't, ask me another question. I'm happy to help folks with this stuff.
