Duels, thanks for the photos of the H5 and the A1. The A1 looks good in black. I think I will look out for the H5 in the green - it seems it takes ages for stock to arrive here lol.
I think the A1 looks good next to your Dell computer. My work computer is a Toshiba and it's not a bad device considering how much I chuck it around and actually do with it.
The A1 came in to its' own when I was running a national conference call and the meeting room I had booked had no conf phone - everyone was like what the heck is that device :-)
I suspect you will love the A1 and even compared to the 18s - it's a different device for a different purpose. It's easy to chuck (protected) in to your bag. I find that when I am playing the a1 the sound is better when you step away from the A1 rather than be right on top of it.
I'd love to hear if other people have tried going for a run in the street with the H5 and how they found it.
