Hey all!

I'm having difficulty choosing between this two players.

Both have similar price points.

I heard rave reviews on the fuze and it definitely has more features then the ipod.

But i want to ask how does the sound quality of the ipod nano compares with the sansa fuze?

And which one to get?

thanks!

 

[davidr2287]

i've heard both and the fuze has better sq than the nano

 

[jack112]

Is the fuze UI really that ugly?

so overall a fuze would be a better buy?

The Fuze UI in a nutshell:

Not ugly...just boring looking.

I've just gotten a 4gb Fuze myself - it's the same UI as the Sansa E280 V1. So yes, it's BORING!!!

Yeah, it's boring, but very functional.

yes, i am also grappling between these two players. it was hands down sansa fuze 4 or 8 gb due to the microphone, recorder and especially the microsd slot. But once the new 4G ipod nano came out, it became an issue of aesthetics. the nano just looks a lot better, the problem is just between the better sq, expandability of the fuze and the good looks of the nano

 

[davidr2287]

yup,the UI is boring. To its defense though, I have retracted from getting the new zune 120 just because I prefer the sound quality of the fuze over the zune.

 

[jack112]

aw man.

Now i have to decide between looks vs functionality.

If i don't intend to amp, line-out is not nesscary right?

 

[davidr2287]

Nope its not necessary

I agree with u, im torn between these two players only, i got to choose either the looks or the functionality..

probably fuze has a way better SQ than the Nano, but the nano, my-oh-my its so damn sexxxyyyyy. the fuze looks boring and the UI is boring too.

 

[Cal3257]

its not about other ppl seeing it, really. its about me seeing it! Pretty electronics is not like pretty clothes, its visually pleasing for me, not for others around me.

^^correct again...
btw i just heard a few songs on Ipod Nano 3rd gen through Crossroads mylarone SVi alone and also by amping through a Crossroads amp, i wasnt too impressed by the SQ, i thought the Nano would have a better SQ than the 2nd gen shuffle.

is the 3rd gen nano sq like shuffle only? or is it due to the earphones? or is there some problem with my hearing???

also does the 4th gen nano have the same SQ as the 3rd gen? what abt ipod classic, does it have the same SQ too?
