Maybe he wanted his impression to be read and responded to by someone or maye he was immensely bored.

Now, could the OP explain to me what an even soundstage is?!

What I mean to me the entire sound stage sounds right everything is in its place for a portable player this is great

I paid $79.00 plus $11.00 for extended warranty for a total of $90.00 and for the sound I am getting out of this little player I would not hesitate going out and buying it again today. Even with out contors for my shure SE-530.

You still need to buy a adpater for the controls thats coming later... and could be i hope just $9.99 But somehow i dont think so.

ahh no problem. I think by the time you have it all set up with a new adapter its gonna be well over $100 which seems a bit rich considering what else you could get for that sort of money

But the size of this little guy is just wright and hell I spent more for a LOD
from audio line out.

I agree with the op on the sound quality. I can't describe exactly how it sounds compared to the 1st gen shuffle due to the volume control obstacle on the 3g, but the awful hiss of the 2nd gen is gone, and it seems a lot more clean.

Are any of you using the voice-over navigation? How well does it work?

 

[Ishcabible]

I bet someone can open up the volume control and make an adapter.

the voice over actually works pretty good press and hold once and it comes on
also alerts you of low battery

 

[asher7323]

Yeah it better sound good, seems overpriced.

so, if you dont have earphones plugged you cant see (errr..hear) any alert.
does this thing even has a led ?

 

[Pangaea]

Yes, actually it does. Mine arrived last week, and while people only seem concerned with opinions from those who haven't tried it, let me try to leave some impressions. For my applications I really like it. I have been using it more than any other ipod I have owned only because it is so simple to take with me. I have a bag that goes with me just about everywhere- gym, work, hiking. It would never protect a nice rig but I just toss this thing in there. I use the shuffle at the gym, switch to a nice jazz mix when I walk home. I keep some full albums on it, all very easy to navigate to with voiceover. The SQ is very good, even with the stock buds. Again, this thing is not designed to compete with your imod. Its a gym/ active use portable. You are in the wrong thread if you think it should be anything else. Been using it all week off one charge. I am happy with it. I have some nicer phones on the way that I got for this and my iPhone, but by no means are the apple buds as painless as everyone says. Too be honest I have never used them (ibuds) before this ipod, and expected them to be worse. The remote pod works very well and is seamless within seconds of trying it. For me it is a huge bonus, that it plays Apple Lossless, AAC, and MP3.

The ibuds arent as bad as people make them out to be. But you can get yuin PK3 for the same price. The PK3 is so much better. You'll be completely blown away by its SQ. People in my class actually keep asking me if they can listen to my PK3s.
