What he said! Loving the improvement of the iPhone 6 vs my 5.

Just my 2 cents. Ok, I'm late to the party, but work bought me an iPhone 6. Initial impressions compared to my iPhone 5 is wow! Noticeable difference. iPhone 6 soundstage is markedly wider than my iPhone 5. The 6 sounds warmer with slightly more pronounced bass, but not necessarily more. Know...

Just received a 6G nano as a gift, I must say I agree with the original post.. The 6th gen iPod is one of the best iPod's I have heard. It is different than my 5.5th gen, which I still love.  But the 6G nano is great on the detail end, very clean and analytical w out sounding too digital (but...

@SierraHotel01   Thanks for that info, but not the answer I am looking for.  Does the "stock EQ" distort like previous generations?

@sierrahotel01 is the EQ fixed (non distorting) like the iPod touch with iOS 4.x?

I have a bold 9700, my SE phone w510i blows it away.. the 9700 is rolled off on the low end, it's disappointing even with its eq, which is preset, no custom available...I was hoping it would be acceptable, to me it's not. I'd like to hear any impressions about the SQ from any Pearl 3G owners out...

Quote: Thanks for checking that out for me nywytboy68 (thats a mouthful)..Maybe someone at the Apple store ran those tracks through mp3 gain, or the tracks weren't that loud to cause distortion on the EQ. I am hoping, that the precedence they set for iOS 4 with the non distorted EQ will...

Quote:  I already know about gain and all that jazz, but not the answer I'm looking for. Thanks for the insight anyways.

Can someone that owns this generation, verify if the EQ distorts on this particular model when it is turned on?  The reason I ask is because I demo'd one in an Apple store with the B & W headphones they had plugged in, and I checked the EQ and turned it on and listened, and I did'nt hear any...

I wonder what they will do to the iPod Classic for 2010, or would they kill it off entirely for the iPod Touch, 128GB (fingers x).

same issue here... I find that if I just lock it, it drains. I turn on airplane mode, and turn off wi fi, (I thought thats what airplane mode did on the touch) anyways, thats a work around for now until iOS4.1 comes out, I also try to turn it off to preserve battery, but there is definitely a...

@Achmedisdead   September is just around the corner..I'd hold off for the 2011 models. Apple updates their iPods every year. See if you like what they will be offering, then decide.

Quote: I only have an 8GB, tried it and no worky. I read the fine print..I'm half right, only the 32 and 64GB 2009 models support multitasking.

  Quote: I think they implemented the EQ correctly this time, by cutting frequencies rather than boost. I detected no distortion on my album, which I had not run through mp3gain.  Have a listen.

Sadly no.. I don't think Steve and Co. will ever go in that direction.

I've dealt with iPod zens, they were good to deal with. Just some things to be aware of, it could be identified as a black iPod with video or a white one when you connect it to iTunes, even if the face is white. It just depends on where they pulled the logic board out of. The back will have no...

multitasking is only for iPhone 4 and 3Gs...

Just a heads up for you touch users, they finally fixed the EQ in version 4.  Previous to version 4, the presets for Electronic, flat, latin, jazz, rock, r&b all sounded the same with no audible variation in sound when changing between pre-sets. If you're gonna rant about how EQ sucks, or isn't...

i too have noticed this, the eq is not the same as the iPod at all. The changes are less distinguished on the iPhone, esp on the loudness setting.

Quote: Originally Posted by nc8000 That is not necesarily a benefit as it totally ruins the dynamic range variation through a whole cd. Try to do that on a classical symphony or the like and get the same loudness from both piano and forte, not good. So I only use album gain. But...

just to clarify..5.5 is not considered a classic, the iPod classic came out in 2007, and was the first full size iPod (ie, not a nano) to sport the aluminum face, and not the white acrylic one..so, the 5th gen and the 5th gen enhanced (5.5) is NOT a classic. Yes, I want to be technical

A friend wanted me to load her first gen nano with some music, as she does not have a computer but received a hand me down nano. I had the pleasure of auditioning it to see what I have been missing, as I sold my first 30GB 5.5g a few years ago (I know..doh!), and "upgraded" to a 2007 Classic...
