I'm concluding if you need a portable device for some ambience, the Freedom is the way to go. If you want it loud, care about HQ sound, and want to mimic stereo like in your house, Force all the way.

Once you experience Force, you can never go back to Freedom.

I'm not so sure anymore about the need for a mid-range driver on the Force. Or HP drivers. Or more power.

Damn, I think it's OK just the way it is!
