unimpressive sound, battery life, no built-in FireWire and USB connection on unit, so-so remote. |

Playing my 256k MP3 collection, the sound is similar to the 2nd generation iPod which I was not impressed. Auditioning using Sennheiser HD497 and PX100 headphones, the sound is quite detailed but a bit flat and lacks drama. Bass lacks weight as with most MP3 players. I also notice some brightness and harshness as well. Perhaps I am being a little too critical. However the line-out in the dock is a different story. It infuses much needed energy into the music and for once I am starting to enjoy Audioslave's Show Me How to Live. Unfortunately the quality of the bass suffers more in the line-out. |

With the latest firmware, this iPod is the best iPod so far. Anyone wants my second generation iPod? |
As I have a Mac, please let them be wrong. I toted my Sennheisers to the apple store yesterday, but they only had a second generation iPod demo model which was encased in a lucite display so I couldn't plug my phones in. They wouldn't open a box to let me try a new one! Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Great salesmanship. |
What's HOT: style, user interface, good sound, size, FireWire and USB2.0 connection, 3rd party accessories. |
