Apple iPod 160Gb Classic Review

By Poet Laureate

After reading reviews on the Ipod Classic and the dodgy sound I was reluctant to fork out the money to get something that wasn't up to par. Anyway after about 30 minutes reading reviews I decided to bite the bullet and buy one. I was intending to only get the Nano 8GB version but the price difference between that and the classic 80GB was (to me ) worth it so I got the 80GB classic. I have to agree with the posters about the sound, I was pretty dissapointed until I swapped ear phones and plugged in my old creative MP3 player ones and it sounded excellent (Pink Floyd The Wall is a great sound tester)I could hear every strum of the guitar and every note as clear as a bell. Anyway I noticed the only difference between the Ipod earphones and the creative ones (apart from the colour)were the foam caps over the ear piece so I found an pair of foam ear phone caps that came with my nokia phone, I put them over the white Ipod ear phones plugged them back into the Ipod and the sound was a 100 percent improvement. I am getting some sennheiser 300x earphones today so the sound should be even better if that is possible. My only complaint is that the volume is not high enough,(this does not apply to everyday situations though). I work in construction, so when I am on the building site and some one is using a chop saw or a grinder nearby it is difficult to hear the music. I am hoping that the sennheiser earphones will remedy this though because they fit right down in your ear canal and I have read that they cut out a lot of ambient noise.
The screen is great too for viewing photos, lovely colour and clarity, I havent tried the video yet though because I havent got any MP4 videos and I cant be bothered decoding any.
I would like Apple to bring out a gizmo that I can put a memory card into and download photos from a memory card straight into the Ipod for when I am out photographing, preferablly one that will view RAW images.

To summarize, This is a great buy if you like fantastic sounding music, put foam caps over the original Ipod eraphones or buy new ones, preferably the ones that fit right into your ear to cut out loud ambient noise. This is the best thing I have bought for a long time.

i bought my first ipod in july 2004, 20gb classic, and it was great, no problems with it. just before christmas (2007) it was lasting for around 3 hours, the battery had seen better days, so i started to look at a new ipod. all the bad reviews on here kept putting me off, but i decided to buy one 3 weeks ago, as my other was now down to 2 hours and was definitely needing replaced.

i've no idea why i waited, no idea why i took these bad reviews into account, because the 80gb classic is GREAT!

i've had it for 2 weeks now, it was updated with songs the first day i got it, took around 20 minutes to get the thousands of songs on it, and since then it's only been updated another once, lasting about 2 minutes. i DIDN'T charge it when i got it, as the battery was full, so the battery has lasted THAT long!
i had to charge it last night, as it was down to a red bar, so it wasn't fully dead. i use it for 3/4 hours per day, sometimes longer, so i'm very impressed that i got 2 weeks worth out of one charge. even my other one didn't last that long!!

i also like the colour screen, my other doesn't have that. it's crisp and clean and looks a lot better.
not had problems with cover flow either, it works fine.

also not had any problems with the volume. it's clearly audible on the lowest setting, and on highest i nearly blew my eardrums.
also noticed there is a volume limit in the settings, is this maybe why so many people have problems with low volume?!?
i'm also not using the apple ipod earphones, i'm using phillips.

also liking the case colour. i thought it might have been a 'shiny' case like the psp and ds lite's, but it's nothing like that, it's a 'matt' case. fingerprints don't show up on it, although they obviously do on the back, but this happens with my other ipod, too. easily wiped off though.

so yes, all in all, i'm very impressed with my new ipod and kicking myself for taking these bad reviews into account, because for me, they're not justified.
it's also well worth the money, my first cost £220 at the time, and it was 20gb.
