I recently got a pair of Westone UM2 (
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Westone-UM2-Dri ... 083&sr=1-4 ) headphones for listening to music on the train but now need something to replace my Iphone for playing music!
I have been looking at the Sony Walkman NWZ-X1060B (High End X Series) but dont want to spend close to £300 if its shit!
Any advice?

That is because you have not used anything better:D
Iphones/Ipods have the worst sound quality going. My Sony mobile phone that comes with a pair of £2.99 headphones sounds better!

I am thinking Sony. I have been very happy with their sound quality in the past!

They are not decent at all. The sound quality is appalling on both.

I put them in the bin when I bought it. I were using a pair of Shure E2C before I got my Westone UM2.
I plan to use them to monitor stuff on from now on. I hear so much more detail compared to my Alesis Monitor's and my mates KRK monitors.

I have a 120GB Zune. It's nice, but unfortunately Microsoft hasn't gotten them over to the UK yet.
