Guest Sima Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Most people on another forum I go on swear by the Sony HD5 They say it's far better than the iPod My 3rd gen is on its way out, every time I switch it off the battery drains Sony HD5 here http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...0758469-1434224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 VHS thrived over Betamax because it was the format that porn came out on. From what I heard Betamax gave better picture and sound quality. 37539[/snapback] *falls into boredom induced pool of vomit* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatful Of Hollow 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 What's the sound quality like on iPods? I've only ever had Creative's, first one was a 40gb Creative Zen Xtra, that broke so I got a Zen touch as a replacement, after a while the buttons became unusable due to the debris underneath them. So i had the choice of a getting a replacement Zen Touch, an iPod or an iRiver, I actually wanted to try the iPod, but they were out of stock, so I decided to go for the iRiver, but I soon found out it wasn't an ideal MP3 player for me, I was just going to use it to play music, but the iRiver also has photo an text capablities, i also thought the signal-to-noise ratio wasn't great compared to the Zen Touch, quite a lot of static in the background. So I've ended up with the Zen Touch again, which I have no cplaints about, as the sound quality is excellent. I think in maybe a year or two I'll probably change it like.

MrBass 2727 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 All depends on the headphones you use. With the iPod standard jobbies, it's pretty mediocre. Connect it up to the Bose Sounddock or Alpine in-car head unit and it's pretty darn impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather get a decent MP3 player. 37547[/snapback] Funny you should use the word accessory, as this is one of the better reasons for buying an iPod, the amount of accessories you can buy for an iPod is incredable, where as when you compare the amount of accessories and add ons you can get for the other high end mp3 players is very disapointing in comparison.

Rob W 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 some people are lazy and would rather just post on a forum rather than taking time to look up the info themselves i'm not like that though 37466[/snapback] and some of us know EVERYTHING so why risk googling it?

TheInspiration 1 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Got a Zen Touch. Well yeah but the screen broke. I can listen to it, but the fact I can't use the screen means my best bet is to only play it on random, using the random button. Which I sometimes like to do, but it kind of sucks. I rarely use it now, and seeing as it was an accident that let it break, I can't get it repaired. Been thinking of a replacment, but haven't made any decisions - doubt I'll be getting a 20gig one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just read that, more of the same from Apple. I don't understand how they get away with it. Can anyone who knows the problems with various incarnations of the iPods and still wants one or has got one explain it to me please?

Holden McGroin 6793 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I've got the black 2Gb Nano. It is quality. My 2nd Generation 40Gb'er lasts about 2 hours, so I use that as my "hi-fi" now and the nano as my portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 My brother bought one last week in New York for the equivalent of around £100, maybe a bit more, but lower than you'll pay here. It looks quite snazzy like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
