My apologies. Many times, the way it is used is a reference to mental retardation despite not understanding what exactly is being said in just that one word. It pisses me off quite a bit when there are other words one can use without stooping so low when it is the intended meaning (ask 90% of the idiots that say it, they can't tell you the IQ of less than 70 part, they mean mentally dumb but will be embarassed to spell it out).

First about sound quality. It's pretty hard to say it's better or worse, especially since no consensus can be made. Some say it sounds better, some it sounds worse. Is the guy with the Sony V300 who loves the strong bass any more right or wrong than the guy with the Ety ER-4P who claims the highs to be tinny and unnatural? That's why I avoided making any comparison. It's much more agreed upon that the iPod sounds good, once again not better or worse, which can be stated without getting into the comparison.
Regarding the line out, that's why I mentioned it later

Of course not

It is in the subject of this topic, which is in reality. Of course it isn't in the majority of places. I got my iHP-120 for the same price as the 15GB iPod. But, I'm assuming anyone who uses the search function or happens to read this anyway can see I'm replying to the question regarding a situation where there is a $100 price difference. Heck, I could ignore it (especially since we're talking about Canadian dollars, what are those worth anyway
), but that would be going off the topic and not help the person who asked the question.

I'm sorry, I thought that's what I did. The way I see my original post:
Do you need these key features the iHP offers over the iPod? If not, it's not worth the $100.
If I was somehow saying something else, I'd like to know how because I just don't see it. I made a comment about iPod being simpler and had it blown up like a balloon (by people arguing the iHP is easy to use AND by people arguing it's hard to use). What I don't get is why people here are arguing that the iHP is simple to use, but don't argue that the iPod isn't simpler. I by no means called the iHP difficult to use, yet it was taken as that by some who seem to be sick of hearing it...yet I've never said it before, so why do I get the flak?

So stop breaking my heart. dumb: To keep delaying; to continue to hinder; to prevent from progress; to render more slow in progress; to impede; to hinder; an abnormal slowness of thought or action; also : less than normal intellectual competence usually characterized by an IQ of less than 70 b : slowness in development or progress |

| Originally posted by Sweet Spot Well, this may not be true for some people though. Yes, I'm with you...we're talking about those specific features I mentioned right ? Sound and build quality. But to some, including myself, the sound quality may be perceived to be better and worth the extra bill. The sound quality also has to do with the availability of a line out on the IHP. You can't ignore its presence, and the difference it makes. That right there may just be enough to put a lot of people over the top. But even putting that quality aside, and going back to my OP, the iPod STILL doesn't have the features I want, so price is moot. |
