 Sound not good enough October 20, 2007
108 out of 135 found this review helpful
I had been looking forward for some time to an iPod with enough storage to hold a large number of high quality Apple lossless files. So it was a real disappointment that the sound quality of this new model was actually worse than before.
Many people were willing to put up with substandard sound quality from compressed audio files because of the convenience. Now that the newest music players have enough capacity to store high quality audio, there is really no excuse for the poor digital-analog converters that Apple is apparently putting in the new iPod Classic. When playing exactly the same uncompressed WAV data, $100 CD players from Sony sound a lot better when plugged into a good stereo than the iPod.
The irony is that the fix should really be pretty simple: a decent digital-analog converter (perhaps the problems with the new chip can be fixed via a firmware upgrade), and a better equalizer with the ability to save user-defined settings would probably be enough for all but the most demanding listeners.

I read the bad reviews here and they are all very particular and specific and odd (i.e., the problems these people are having will probably never happen to you). This version of the iPod is probably going to be the last in its line before they switch over completely to the iPod Touch version. But when I was trying to figure out which one to go with RIGHT NOW, the Touch is 400 freakin' dollars and it only has 16 GB on it! That's nothing as far as I'm concerned - maybe I'm spoiled but I like putting all sorts of things on my iPod besides my entire record collection which is around 35 GB right off the bat. The iPod "Classic" is not perfect or ideal (starting with its stupid name)- the ideal would be an iTouch with 80 GB or higher - but its pretty sweet. The games on it work really well once you get used to the wheel, as far as I know there are no games on the iTouch. The video looks really good on the iPod Classic too. As far as the meat is concerned which is the music, the cover flow works fine - all that stuff about it being too sluggish is b.s. - the sound quality is really good and it comes with about 20 preset EQ settings which are nice. Sync with iTunes is really easy and almost fun and in short its just really simple to use and does the job. My advice is to get this one and wait for Apple to release an iTouch with more GB later, which might take awhile but I just have a hard time paying 400 dollars for 16 gb just so I can move an album cover across the screen with my finger. p.s. yeah, the itouch has the wi-fi internet capability but I have trouble digesting what I read about it, like no java - that's a big setback, most of my favorite websites rely on that -otherwise I'm just looking at an incredibly shrunken version of a website and that doesn't really do much for me.
CONSUMER ALERT September 13, 2007

I purchased this item last week to upgrade my ipod 80gb (great item!!!).
I found the sound on the classic VASTLY INFERIOR to the old ipod. I thought it might have been my imagination but after cruising some websites, I discovered that APPLE is using another chip that deteriorates the sound in significant way. I found the sound of the Classic to be thin and shrill compared to the older one and not nearly as warm and "clean." (I mostly listen to Jazz and classical) Again, I thought this might be my imagination but apparently other purchasers have had a similar experience. I'll be returning mine.
Re: Ipod classic TV out problem September 16, 2007

Apple has intentionally disabled the Video Out button on the Classic models. Spend more, get less features. I am shocked to hear that Apple will treat so poorly those who shell out $349 for a 160 GB Classic. I contacted the Geek Squad none of the salespeople or support team had a clue that Apple had disabled the video out feature. They pushed every available button before contacting Apple to find out that Apple has disabled a basic feature available on all prior video Ipods. I had stopped at Circuit City first and had the same experience there.
I would not have bought this so quickly had I known that Apple disabled the video out capability. The video settings menu is still there, but all the clicking in the world will not change OFF to Ask or On. Apple will soon be selling a $49 accessory to allow some limited output of video. I already own the Icuiti IWear. Memorex and Virtual Reality Ipod video accessories, all now rendered useless by this greedy move on Apple's part. We all expect value-added from Apple, not elimination of a basic feature. Shame on you, Apple and Steve Jobs.
Hooked on Apple September 8, 2007

Picked up an 80Gig Black iPod classic today at the Burlingame, CA Apple store. For only $250, you are getting almost 3 times the hard drive space from the previous model (5.5 generation), you also get the new interface, a slimmer body, all metal casing and a super bright screen. I'm selling my 5th generation ipod, which was fairly dim, scratch prone and a duller interface. I'm really impressed with apple products lately. Never being an apple person, they really are starting to change my mine after seeing the newest imacs made of aluminum and glass for a competitive price. I don't need a new computer now but when I do I will consider an imac!
