Feel like
massaging your sound? There are quite a few MP3 players with
advanced equaliser options and special sound-processing
effects.
The first that comes to mind is the iRiver H10
series, available in a variety of capacities. It features a
five-band custom EQ, more than 30 presets, and the vaunted SRS
Wow surround technology. Sony's NW-HD5 has
a decent general custom EQ, but if you're listening to ATRAC3plus
tracks, you can utilise the player's six-band custom EQ and cool
environmental effects. Even Creative's Zen Touch
and Zen
Micro have four- and five-band custom EQs, respectively. In
case you're wondering, the Apple iPod
has a variety of punchless and mediocre EQ presets but no custom
EQ.
Lately, Creative has been churning out players with
great battery life and excellent sound quality. The Zen
Touch offers all this and more, making it a legitimate
challenger to the Apple iPod.
Claimed battery life:24 hours battery life at
128kbps MP3 or 32 hours at 48kbps MP3 Memory Capacity: 20 GB Supported formats: MP3, WMA, WAV Dimensions: 104 x 68.6 x 22.8mm Weight: 203 grams
