Apple iPod classic 6th Generation Black (80 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: Excellent features, large capacity, sleek, good battery life, easy to use
Cons: Back scratches easily (it can be prevented with a case)

I digitized my music collection in my first year of college after space and time constraints made juggling my CD collection increasingly frustrating. The transition coincided with my discovery of iTunes; this fabulous music player and organizational ...

Pros: Brighter Screen, Costs less than original 60GB version, improved battery life, search function, games
Cons: Not much of an upgrade from last video iPod, limited video playback and limited formats

If you owned the first Video iPod, there isn't much to say... the Video iPod version 2.0 just tweaks a few things on the original Video iPods. In fact, a firmware upgrade gives you many of the small improvements. The only things unique to the "New" ...

Pros: Works well with iTunes, is a beautiful gadget
Cons: The click wheel can be unresponsive

My iPod career started about 3 1/2 years ago after receiving a 40 GB (audio only) one as a gift from work. It wasn't too long before it became a part of my lifestyle. I have always had a long commute and soon enough, the iPod became essential for my ...

Pros: Massive storage, great sound, superb Apple design, long battery life, navigation enhancements
Cons: Still scratches easily, included earbuds are lousy, be sure to upgrade

More than three years ago, I wrote a review about my first iPod, a 20 GB 4th gen model. I'm now on my third iPod, after having an 80-GB 5th gen model. For me, the iPod Classic is the best non-touch screen iPod Apple ...

Pros: Stylish, reliable, plays movies too, massive capacity
Cons: The standard ear phones are awful

iPods have come a long way from their humble roots of being a personal music player. With the ability to play music, play videos and be used as a photo viewer I think that Apple have gone too far. Apple have developed a niche since the iPod is more ...

Pros: More storage for the same price as the previous generation. More battery life.
Cons: Some people may not like the new screen layout with the menus cut in half.

Don't let the name "Classic" fool you, this is a new iPod. The naming scheme basically comes into play because of the new iPod Touch which was released in the wake of the iPhone. Apple decided to give those of us who aren't all ga-ga over the touch ...

Pros: Ideal for the music lover that doesn't want to carry separate devices.
Cons: Always bigger and better iPod-type devices being released

An iPod?A friend of mine a few years back made an interesting comment to me that stuck in my head:  "There's no reason to buy CDs now-a-days."  I don't completely agree with that, as there are some artists that can't be found on ...

Pros: Sounds great, looks great, tons of storage. It's the standard others compare themselves to.
Cons: Miniature hard disk drive is more fragile than flash memory music devices.

Face it. The iPod has set the standard for portable personal media entertainment. It's the one that all the other guys, SanDisk, Creative, MS Zune, etc. have to compare themselves to. The iPod Classic has raised the bar again. As a former user of the ...

Pros: Sound quality, user-friendliness, storage space, lots of accessories available
Cons: Click Wheel can be unresponsive, initially digitizing CD's is time consuming.

I've been a musician for 10+ years, and have collected more CD's than I can keep track of.  When I noticed that I was only listening to a few albums, I bought a small generic MP3 player for the gym.  I tired of it pretty quickly, because I ...

Pros: Good looks, storage overload, light weight
Cons: expensive, mp4 formats, no instruction

So now I have joined the Ipod Revolution with the other millions of people in the world. I used to ask myself why does everyone have one whether I am at work,school, or the airport. I didn't really even think of buying one until we bought one for my ...

Pros: Battery lasts longer than earlier Ipods unless you have one of faulty units.
Cons: A pretty face, worse sound, lots of bug and video blocking--what's to like

Which is worse, the product quality or the service. Let's consider product quality first. With a different brand of codec ship inthe new Ipod, the sound quality is drier, more strident, and more fatiguing to listen to than prior Ipods. And aside from ...

Pros: Earphone quality as good as any other earbud-style, easy navigation
Cons: Non-stellar sound output (especially via speakers), no SRS WOW

I purchased this edition of the ipod around 3 months ago and it has done just what I wanted it to - keep me entertained while I do other tasks, whatever they may be. Using this product is simple, and even though I had never owned an ipod before I ...

Pros: Big capacity for photos, videos and music
Cons: Average sound quality and syncing with iTunes might be a bit disappointing

One word best describes iPod Video Classic 80GB - CAPACITY. I have a vast collection of mp3 music that could not fill up this thing. It's a monster. After syncing my iTunes library with the iPod Video Classic, I still have more than 40GB to fill up. ...

Pros: Capacity, battery life, durability, screen quality.
Cons: Back scratches easily, somewhat hefty.

This ipod is incredible. I am a music freak, and I listen to it constantly. I needed something that has not only good sound quality, but could also hold my collection. I also needed something that had exceptional battery life. The ipod Classic was ...

Pros: User friendly, bright screen, scroll wheel, iTunes, Excellent Battery Life
Cons: Small screen, cover flow lags, scratches quickly, games are boring

With so many different MP3 players in existence today, it is hard to tell which is the best of them all. Most larger sized MP3 players require a fairly large investment of money; usually $200 or more. The iPod Classic, as of 2008, stands to be the best ...
