Dad would kick me and stop sending money if i get do any more upgrades.Getting headphone itself was a PITA i had to save for 4 months.

Next upgrades will start once i complete my Masters and come back to India for good.There is a BIG list i have been writing down :P

Faheem did get his hands on the M2's and Benny has the Sflo2 .Benny says Its better than Fuze+ D4 Mamba :rofl: .

On a side note i did upgrade my Mamba few days back ,ordered the TopKit ,now i have to search a reason to explain my dad as to why i got it .Damn this is the most irritating part.

:) I understand.

I remember my college time. I saved for nearly a year to buy a Sony walkman for 2000 bucks. Once I bought it, I couldn't enjoy it for long, for I was too worried, I spent a lot of money :P

To Faheem:

Dude how do you rate these M2s ? I wanted to go for RE0 but then the economy is favoring the bundle. How much do these RE0s go ahead of the M2s ?
 
Re: Nationite S:Flo2, Brainwavz M2, custom cases - bundle available for 169.5 USD at

Faheem!!! Please answer the following questions:

1) How is Brainwavz M2 compared to RE0?

2) How much better is M2 than "RE2+E5" combo?

3) If i go for this deal, will customs bother me? If yes, how much custom wud i have to pay?

@others: i read mp4nation's deals on head-fi forum, etc. & there are many -ve comments about MP4Nation (links later).
 
Re: Nationite S:Flo2, Brainwavz M2, custom cases - bundle available for 169.5 USD at

yes, but i can only do so at night. i am somewhere else right now where many sites including the said site are blocked..
 
Re: Nationite S:Flo2, Brainwavz M2, custom cases - bundle available for 169.5 USD at

What negative comments for Mp4nation? Where i head Fi did u see negative comments for Mp4nation? all i read was that its a PITA to send the items back to them for RMA and stuff. nothing else.
 
Re: Nationite S:Flo2, Brainwavz M2, custom cases - bundle available for 169.5 USD at

there were comments regarding late delivery, wrong method of shipment, order not shipped after months of paying, etc issues..

1) The M2 and RE-0 can't really be compared.RE-0 is extremely neutral and balanced with very light bass. Its detailing is much more accurate then M2 or any other IEM under 5k.It also needs a good amp to shine and once you do that its pure bliss. RE-0 is not for people looking for musical fun sound with punchy boomy bass .

M2 on the other hand is pretty well detailed and balanced as well but has a nice warm midrange and amazing thumping bass :D

2) i find the M2 to be lot better than a RE-2/NE6 with a E5 in terms of detailing but the NE6 bass is something unbeatable. Detailing /soundstage wise M2 >> NE6/RE2. M2 is more comparable to the IEMs in a n upper segment like Klipsch S4,Hippo VB etc

3)Customs , purely depends on your luck and how much value MP4Nation declares for the package. Assuming Mp4 Nation marks it as ~50-70$ which they will if you request them., you might end up paying a maximum duty of ~1000 bucks incase you really get unlucky. Customs is something you always have to risk when ordering hi-fi stuff from these sites.
 
Re: Nationite S:Flo2, Brainwavz M2, custom cases - bundle available for 169.5 USD at

Bah!! This thing aint user friendly

The BUG list

This bug list is based on the latest nationite s:flo firmware, version 1.20 - as updates are made available (and they will be so dont worry if this list looks bad) i will mark off whats done/fixed and make a new bug-list per firmware (if needed)
GENERAL PLAYER BUGS

No manual screen locking or screen turn off (have to wait for time out) - i think this is a big bug
Menu sliding is not as smooth as it should be - needs speeding up and kinetic scrolling like the original s:flo UPDATE :: little smoother with 2.00 - still needs work
Random locking of the player (like right now as i was exiting the USER EQ function, music stopped and screen frozen and mangled) FIXED IN VERSION 2.00
MUSIC PLAYER BUGS

Selecting ARTIST does not go to ALBUM by artist but lists all songs from all albums by that artist (generic Chinese listing problem but a MASSIVE bug in my eyes)
playing music from the file manager doesn't start automatically, you have to press the play/pause button NEW 13/01/10
PlayFX EQ setting can not be applied to FLAC files
Does not recognize WMA ALBUM tag when sorting music and does not list them in the database
Does not display WMA album name when in music player
Album art not displaying for all songs even though all have album art (MP3) - random UPDATE - we now know MP3 above 4MB wont show art, below 4MB will show art
Album art not displaying at all for WMA
Song listing in music database is based on time copied to player and not alphabetical or by TAG ID track number (so even the old track num at front does not work)
Music Library updates every time you press ALBUM, ARTIST or TITLE categories FIXED IN VERSION 2.20
Time slider for song is not smooth at all (original sflo was excellent) - UPDATE - this has got better now after use and is not that bad at all
Slider for setting user EQ are also sticky making hard to slide the sliders
Lyric files not showing for WMA (MP3 does work for external LRC files)
Occasional break up of the UI when navigating the music UI UPDATE :: FIXED IN VERSION 2.00
Adding to playlist is really awkward (having to select a song by slide and release to highlight it)
In music interface it displays the song name using the file-name and not the tag name and is crammed in a small place making most hard to read
OGG files can play but are not cataloged in music DB, can be seen on ALL MUSIC but player does not read any OGG tags
can not play 24/96 FLAC - its in the bugs just to point it out really
VIDEO PLAYER BUGS

Sometimes player will lock up on files it cant player - need to reset player (occasional)
Screen ripping on the video player (may be hardware related but would like to know from factory if can be fixed in firmware settings)
Exiting a video returns you to the root of the player folder and not to list you were on, meaning you need to re-navigate to where you were
PHOTO APP BUGS

Photo thumbs are squashed rather than cropped (making them look odd)
Generation of photo thumbs is slow and redraws every time making whole photo app slow
Switching between THUMB view and LIST view in image viewer goes back to main folder list rather than re-listing current view
EBOOK BUGS

When expanding to full screen, your place is lost in the book, it kinda shifts the text so you lose position and flow
Scrolling is very clunky and jerky

Does MP4 nation ship via EMS? A friend was going to buy a D2 but this might be a better buy.
