My FMP with Ipod earphones (which i also froze) and well.... im amazed. everything is crisp and cleaner. kinda sounds like the music is going through some sorta audio filter.sounds awesome no distortion, clean and basically sounds like much more expensive set of earphones and media player.
my Black Hawk as posted sounds much better... BUT i had a problem getting the "Webcam" feature to work on multiple computers. i really didnt care as i bought it for music and playing video's. i discovered that when trying to play ANY WMA file at ANY bitrate it would stutter with rock songs (especially bassie songs). thus i have requested a full refund on it

Your post-freeze experiences with the cheap UXCell headphones that comes with the player reminds me very much of mine. I think I mentioned at the beginning of this thread how I could still hear and appreciate the differences even on the cheap 50 cent earphones that came with the Glacier, and I was referring to the "soul" of the music coming through better, despite it being hard to pick out more superficial things like bass/treble with these kind of low-res earphones.
As a long time audiophile and participant in audio discussion groups across the net, I find that audio enthusiasts can basically be divided into two camps: doers (empiricists), and thinkers (rationalists). The doers tend to have better sounding systems. I find it interesting to find the very same parallels in the mp4 enthusiast community.
You said the LCD was clearer on your BH. Indeed, if I haven't mentioned it, if any of my techniques work on sound, they will work to improve video as well. The only thing is, its not as easy for people to notice video improvements as it is for audio (even audio improvements escapes a lot of people!). I have a tweaked-up version of my FMP. Since I have a second FMP, I was able to compared this to the untweaked FMP. Indeed, I could see differences in the video. Colors and constrasts were better. I checked out the Black Hawk model. I can see this player can do a heck of a lot of things. However, WMV isn't listed as one of them, at least not in the official specs that I can see. So I don't know if you have a case for a return based on that.
