iPod Classic 160GB

I pod classic 7th gen review

Posted

Pros: amazing WARM audio quality lots of space durable strong

Cons: Noisy. Hard Disk does not use flash memory it literary has a Hard Drive in it.

great device if you have an HUGE cd collection (like me) and want to take everything everywhere you go do not buy from game stop buy refurbished from apple.com there 200$ for this price its a great deal. i have heard that the ipod classic's hard drive dies after 3-4 years of usage so think twice before buying used. over all this is the best ipod you can buy i actualy bought this over the ipod touch 4 (crap). i have the ipod touch 2 but thats another story......... LONG LIVE IPOD CLASSIC

Best MP3 player for those with a large music collection

Pros: Fantastic battery life, Good audio quality, Great battery life, good design

Cons: HDD can be fragile at times

Due to the great battery life and an immensely large capacity, it's the optimal mp3 for those with a large collection.   It's also quite durable, I've had mine for 5 years now, and it still works fantastically and looks great too (practically new apart from a few scratches on the back).
