Apple iPod classic 80 GB > Reviews

Advantages: Good build, decent sound, lots of storage.
Disadvantages: Sound limiting, doesn't convert movies to MP4

...this for you. Shame on Apple for not including the necessary software that's needed to actually use your iPod's to it's fullest. The iPod itself is if solid construction but it's a little heavy compared to other MP3/4 players. I suppose it's due to it being made of aluminium and not tacky plastic. The screen is very clear and has about 10 levels of brightness. Battery life is quite good and I managed to watch two movies and a couple of hours of ... Read review

Advantages: Great Flexibility, Ease Of Use
Disadvantages: Easily Dented, Battery Life

Ipod classic is the latest model in the Ipod family and unlike the Ipod's multi-touch screen this model stick to the same scrool wheel navigation as previous ipods. The dimensions if the new ipod classic is 4.1/2.4/0.4 inches and weighs at 140 grams. The display is a 2.5" LCD screen with LED backlight at 320 by 240 pixels which is the same size as the previous model but gives a brighter look. The ipod comes with the standard cables and earphones ... Read review

Advantages: Too many to list... just read the review
Disadvantages: Barely any, maybe the screen is a tad small

...the aesthetics. Usability is something apple has always prided itself on and it definitely doesnt disappoint. The scroll wheel feels comfortable to use and it is very easy to select what you want with minimal fuss. This gives the ipod the edge over its creative competitors as their scroll system is deeply flawed as its very fiddly. Audio quality is where the ipod has been challeged in recent generations, but having conducted stringent tests with ... Read review

Advantages: Very good value
Disadvantages: earphone quality

...and from my experience the Apple Ipod is the best one! It has most things you could want. Positives 1. It is very good value for money. Mine was £160.00 which for 80GB worth of space is amazing! I think I must have bought it at a very good time because Apple had started to reduce the prices! 2. There are lots of features available to you; alarm, podcast, movies, photos, able to shuffle songs etc. 3. It is good that the ipod allows you ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, easy to use, good for value.
Disadvantages: Freezes sometimes, repetitive use can hurt hand, screen a bit small.

I found the Ipod 80G Classic looked good and I paid £157 for it and its been a good companion. I think its easy to use and it does exactly what I wanted. I play videos and TV shows from mine and I find that very useful as it is very good quality. I also use it to put photos on and its easy to show people and when I want to look at my memories. Also I know that my photos are saved on it and recently when my computer failed I found it really useful ... Read review

Advantages: Features and versatility
Disadvantages: Headphone quality

This is a smashing little device for listening to music files or watching your video clips on the move. As always Apple's design is sleek, stylish and highly ergonomic. As far as battery life is concerned you should get about 30 hours if you're listening to music or 5 hours for video clips. The iPod 80 GB comes with plenty of features. There are different categories into which you can place your music files. Cover-flow allows you to scroll through ... Read review

Advantages: great quality.
Disadvantages: expensive

WOW! The 80gb ipod classic is by far the best portable music player i've ever had! not only does it look great, you can store up to about 9000 songs on this beast! despite the fact it looks rather big and hefty, its actually quite light and you tend not to notice it in your pocket untill you dip in to find some loose change. the sound quality on it is amazing. you can get all sorts of equalizers for more bass, more treble, etc... to find the ...

Advantages: Easy to use, Value for Money
Disadvantages: Random crashes and size(only for some people)

Yet another iPod in the huge line of different varieties.... Personally I would say the iPod classic is the most reliable of iPod's especially if you are clumsy and drop things a lot as this is one durable iPod. However this is reflected in the size and it's quite a big piece of kit. Personally this doesn't affect me, but there are a lot of people this will affect who just love having the smallest phone/music player. However, another way the size ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, solid, reliable, full of features, cheap, lots of storage, classy.
Disadvantages: Heavy, sometimes a bit unresponsive, earphones

There's not much I can say about Ipods that hasn't been said before. They're beautifully assembled, quality pieces of kit that are rightfully sought after and deserve their place as the number one MP3 players. So I'll just talk about some of my own personal observations. Music All the options you could need. Artists, Genres, Albums, Playlists, Podcasts, Audiobooks, Compilations, Search option, it's a joy to navigate. Animated cover flow is a great ... Read review

Advantages: YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIES AND COMPLETE ALBUM COLLECTION IN YOUR POCKET
Disadvantages: SOUND LEVEL ON MOVIES NOT GREAT

I bought my Ipod Classic around a month ago to basically be able to carry all my albums round with me at all times and have a couple of my favourite movies to hand if I am ever bored. I used to have an Ipod Nano and thought that 2 GB of memory would be plenty for what I needed but soon found that I couldn't fit no way near half of my albums on there and had to cherry pick my favourite songs due to there being not enough space available. Now ... Read review

Advantages: Lots more improvements with a lower cost!
Disadvantages: itunes not included

So my old third generation ipod (you remember the 4 buttons at the top) died about 6 months a go and i've been meaning to replace it ever since. So as soon as i got paid i poped down to my local John Lewis and picked one up for £159 and you get a years free guarantee with it as well. You can also get the 160 GB model for £229 Where do i start?! This is so different then my old one. Better off course! The one thing i remember it took hours to transfere ... Read review

Advantages: storage capacity
Disadvantages: the cost is a bit over the top

...has been two years since Apple launched its last standard iPod and it's not surprising to see the design tweaked this time around. But while it hasn't received quite as dramatic a makeover as the nano this is still a very nice refinement. The most obvious change is to the glossy front fascia, which has now been dumped in favour of anodised aluminium fronts. Like the nano, the corners are rounded and the edges curve gently towards smartly sharp ... Read review
