Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch PPI on the screen.

A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience. The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience. You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers. Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.

I'd probably never use it. Cowon J3 : Feels very light maybe you like that , but maybe to light, kinda like a toy, the whole thing is plastic, buttons feel good and responsive, "clicky". Verdict: Zune HD wins this, it just feels like it was constructed from better materials and can take a fall.

Overall, I'd have to pick the J3, simply cause it just sounds better, but for pretty much everything else the Zune wins out. I'd never care to own any other device. Make no mistake the Zune HD does sound very good. If you want me to compare something else just ask. Joined Nov 6, Posts Likes Thanks for the review Johnny. Good job.

Joined Nov 5, Posts Likes Great review! Have to admit I'm not having the issues with sibilance that you described.

Some of my IEM's felt sibilant initially but a combination of burn in and finding better seals has pretty much removed any sibilance there was! Joined Aug 25, Posts 48 Likes Nice review. Joined Feb 1, Posts Likes Joined Jun 20, Posts Likes The issue here is no matter how we try to praise Zune HD sound, five plus year old iriver players still out rank it in terms of sound quality.

If people are going to be happy with zune hd, they should have bought something cheaper or same price from other offerings before that. In this day and age we should at least make J3 or better sound quality as the benchmark for future devices.

Joined Apr 24, Posts 1, Likes How do the amping abilities of both compare? My HD couldn't even drive k's, I'm hoping my awaiting J3 will be able to do it.
