I teach zumba in an elementary school gym. Will this model be better to play music on OR could I get away with the cheaper Passport 150?

When I looked at the different models it seemed that the main difference was the number of inputs. If your only using it to play music you will only need one input, so I would say the smaller model would work for you. Just check to see if there's any difference in the power of the speakers.

The only real reason that I can see to buy the 300 over the 150 for me was to have more inputs for guitars and microphones. Otherwise, I think they are about equal soundwise. So save some money.

We use this model for our church activities. It is perfect for indoor and outdoor activities. However, in outdoor activities the sound gets lost in large areas. We play music through this model all the time. We hook up an ipod or smart phone to it and it works great. I have never used the cheaper model but if the room you are using this in is large I would go with this model or larger.Good luck,Tom Pete

It's much lighter than an acoustic upright, so it's EASY to move, if you mean "relocate semi-permanently. It's VERY HEAVY compared to a" stage piano." So, if you mean to move frequently, as from gig to gig, it's HARD to move. This piano is still amazing me after owning it about a year. I've seen some new non-partisan models appear which brag about their special capabilities, such as a true sötétítő pedal or completely (and adjustable) string resonance. The CE220 does those things. I'm sure those others are nice instruments are nice, but they cost $1500 - $3500 more than my adored Kawai!

The 6th Gen Nano has the advantage of being small and being able to clip it on my top. I am a dancer, and this works well for practicing in the aerobic's room at my club. Sound is excellent.Here is the rub for me. I like to switch out my play lists frequently and find that with the Nano 6 I must have a computer to synch my lists. I LOVE my 5th Gen Nano because of the "On-The-Go-Playlist" feature. I can tag songs easily and add them to my on-the-go. No need to connect to a computer to do this. I have erased and redone my On-the-go list several times now and for a dancer that is a huge plus. Also, the battery life is much better on my Gen 5.

I was afraid to answer in amazon because some ppl criticize my english. but , whocares I bought Creative aurvana 3 inear and air. for work out. Air is better you can use inear 3 for weight lifting but not recomend for running. I can hear every step and body movement. Of course . some ppl might use but not for me. i use air for my work out and use inear 3 for everything else. If you are serious music buff then I recommend something like K-701 or hd 600 as minimum. Speakers! If you can afford space, and money. Hope this help you and Happy holiday

I would say that it is definitely comparable, being that I use to breakdance when I was much younger and actually owned quite a few different boomboxes back in the day-The only thing is the sound is coming out from the sides as opposed to the front-hope this helps

Depends on what you want to do. Hotone Wally gives you more control with the tempo control. The JamMan does one thing and does it very well. Simple operation with no electronic noise or artifacts. I would try both at your local music store and decide which is better for you. After all, all these pedals offer good value these days. The real question is what is better for you?

Any class would be fine for playback of mp3's. The higher classes are more for picture/video recording, applications in smartphones, etc,etc.

I'm not sure. It depends on the dj'ing software that you get, because mine worked with some and slowed with others. I used the virtual DJ trial which allowed me to play for a few minutes at a time before prompting me to upgrade. I think Serato is a better platform but I haven't tried it with that yet. It is small so its just for me and my kids to pass the time with.

Student versions are affordable and can do everything the HD does except for 5.1 recording which is surround sound but everyone uses stereo so you and I are not missing out. And with the HD version, the only way to run would require HDX cards which are expensive. You should look up HDX cards. Student version is worth it because it is the full standard version but cheaper for students and teachers instead of buying as a regular customer or non student who would pay $100 more or so for it. So you got a great deal.

As an adult with a musical background, I have not used the Yamaha Education Suite. However, I would highly recommend the Yamaha YPG-535 keyboard as a beginner's tool (if the student will stick with it, as it is a little costly). There are many features to help a beginner learn such as the built in metronome, the play along features, and the recording option. Best wishes to you in your final decision.

The pioneer ddj sb is more professional and would recommened it only for intermediate djs although you can use it for getting into it. Theres to many bells and whistles that you don't need when your starting and its at a pretty high price. Now the hercules control instinct is great for getting your feet wet in the dj industry it has all the basic needs like a 3 band eq 4 hot cues( but not meant for juggling

Would it be better, yes. Significantly, no. This speaker has a 15" woofer that can crank DubStep or Zumba at a loud enough volume for a small high school gym or house party. Mosh pit loud, no, but loud enough to feel the thump if you are within 10 to 15 feet. Two of these can drive stereo, or just repeat the mono. It would take a few cables either way. All in all, it depends on your loudness pleasure, but one or two of these can really kick @$$. Also, put them on speaker stands. The sound will kick even harder at head/chest level. If you have a sub woofer with your TV, you can add it in too with a little bit of adapter stacking (but no crossover). Would it be better, yes. Significantly, no.

There are better options, it is a handy recorder and many functions, you are limited to one track at a time and bouncing is time consuming. If all you want is to record live performances or use as a quick writing tool, for the price it is good, it downloads in WAV format so it is a little outdated, but very portable, hope this helped.

I'm not sure? I had the Zumba Gold and it is slower music and a slower pace. You could try them, I prefer the DVD's. Good Luck.

Yes, it works with the 120. I wrote Kicker repeatedly about this, but they refused to answer. Finally I just bought one, assuming it would work because the 120 and 80 Zunes are so similar. And everything works as it should, including the remote. I wrote a review for this (you can find it on the product page). If you were considering buying one I definitely recommend it. The sound is amazing and it's conveniently small.
