Highs too High!.......2007-12-26
I was hesistant about this product, for good reason. I was replacing my 5.5g ipod that was stolen... turns out that nothing apple cranks out would compare.
The sound quality on this IS IN FACT worse. I thought the audiophiles reviewing the sound quality online were just being picky, but the sound really hurts my ears because of the intense treble and the mids that are missing.
The symbols sound so fake and piercing. By no means is this always a "clean" sound that people justify it as, it is just pronounced and distorted. I listened to an acoustic piece first, it sounded alright, and crisp. But then I listened to Dragonforce & Sonata Arctica... I couldn't concentrate on the music because of the highs resonating in my ears. Jazz sounded a little better on my ears, but you have to like it crisp and not warm sounding...
I want to take it back, but I don't want to more on a restocking fee...
If you can get your hands on a Zune or a 5.5 generation, please go for it, I spent 15% restocking fee to learn this lesson. Listen to the majority of reviews!!!
edit...
************
ok so you can kinda resolve this in the EQ.. but because its preset.. you have to deal with it being muddy or something else.
also....
GAMES ARENT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE... WHAT THE HELL APPLE
the fifth generation ipod is compatible with everything though?
apple messed up... i have not been a fan of apple since OS 9 (horrible btw)
Apple Garbage, junk, worhless trash.......2007-12-25
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL I would never buy proprietary apple trash, I would not take it if it was given, you say yeah right!?, no really why take an mp3 video player that you can only use with an apple garbage software?
Why buy proprietary junk? read below you have great options for great movie and mp3 players.
Amazon you have done a serive to these Mac users. You taught them that they are the ones buying junk ipod products. People read and listen, you have a choice. Do not buy apple products they only work with other apple products and since apple has about 5% of the market.... Oh yes for you, NBC cut it over to their website and opened it up to the rest of the 95% of the market. So they have not lost anything, they have made more money
That is what you get for buying worthless ipods and Apple products. Apple is proprietary and that is why the Amazon Unbox does NOT support it. The .wmv files can be played on a lot of software, such as Toshiba, Creative, iRiver, Archos, Zune, and any player that is playsforsure. As with the ipods and apple files, .m4p's, can ONLY be played on Apple software.
It has not gotten old hearing people just like you complain about spending a lot of money for nothing! LOL LOL LOL
2 stars untill they can fix all the bugs........2007-12-22
let me keep this as short as possible.The ipod classic is seriously flawed.Even after the first software update, that made the slow click-wheel more responsive,its still frustrating to operate.The biggest annoyance is the frequent crashing.Mine freezes/crashes daily!!!i've never had to reset an ipod so many times before(this is my third ipod).My primary reason for getting the 160 gig, was so i could store most of my music in a loseless format.I cant belive apple put this product out, with so many pimples and warts.
Apple why did you do this to me?.......2007-12-21
"Apple why did you do this to me?" might sound like a harsh name for a review, so I should start by saying this iPod is an amazing device that may satisfy some customers. Building on tradition this iPod features the largest capacity yet: 160GB! When I heard this unit was out I immediately wanted it. After all who wouldn't want the king of all iPods? 160 GB is enough to hold many entire albums even without using compression--and have them playback gap free! So, here's why the unit had to be returned to the store, and why I have no interest in a 6G iPod.
Apple managed to do what appears to be a typical move for successful manufacturers. They have discontinued the use of a key piece of technology used in previous iPods: the Wolfson DAC. A "DAC", or digital to analog converter, is the chip that is responsible for turning numbers into sound (which is essentially what an iPod does). On the 6G iPod Apple has chosen a new DAC made by Cirrus Logic. This new chip apparently fails the taste test to an important community: people who care about the quality of their audio listening products. These are the same folks who throw away the headphones that come with the iPod and buy headphones that actually sound good.
Unfortunately this has me halting any iPod "classic" recommendations and purchases. I'm happy with my 5.5G iPod which uses the faithful Wolfson DAC and sounds like what a "classic" iPod should sound like. There are even folks who swear by the fidelity of even earlier iPods. Apple, please get it together.
Big Disappointment.......2007-12-21
From what everybody had said about past ipods I thought I would love this thing. Apple has a great reputation for putting out high quality products. This product, unfortunately, falls short. First off is the bugs. Even after downloading the third firmware for this product there are many of them. If you are on the "now playing" screen when you try to sync your ipod with your computer, it invariably freezes up. Also, some files which are on the ipod (and will play in Itunes) somehow do not play on the ipod. The ipod just sits there as if it is going to play it but it never starts up. Sound quality is also a big issue. I'm certainly no audiophile but the headphones put out horrible sound quality, much worse than the cheap Sandisk MP3 player I have. Mids and lows are very distorted. I happen to have had a pair of Sony MDR-XD200 and these seemed to have solved the problem. Most likely, you will want to invest in some decent headphones if you buy this player. I ended up buying a pair of Sennheisers and a pair of V-Modas.
As for positives, I've never had any problems with video playback. I have about 20 or so full length movies on this thing. I like the cover flow feature even though some have commented on how slow it is. Storage is also a big plus and if you have a large music collection, this is the only game in town. Right now, Zune only makes an 80 gig which is just not big enough for my collection. Buy this product if your collection is huge but look elsewhere if you can go with something with a smaller capacity.

Exceptional Build Quality, Clarity and Receiving capability.......2007-12-22
I tried two other radios before this purchase (Grundig and Eton) but they could not compare to the high level of reception, build quality and the audio clarity from the single speaker Sonido. I'm not a radio geek so I can't explain the technology, but somehow this unit just finds (and holds) any AM or FM station and fills the room with an amazingly high quality sound. I also appreciate the NOAA weather alert feature, batteries that seem to never die, and highly intuitive controls.
One minor con: there is no natural place to pickup and carry the radio - my finger invariably finds a button to press everytime I attempt to pick it up. Might want to consider purchasing Sangean's radio case which includes a carrying handle. Yes, I have big hands, so try it first without the accessory.
An amazing and versatile radio.......2007-12-11
I'm completely satisfied with this radio. The quality both in construction and sound is outstanding. The ease of operation and simplicity of set-up is again top in my book and I've researched many before deciding on this product. One minor feature I would have liked would be an internal battery charger but again that is a very minor point.
Great Products.......2007-12-07
We live in a hilly area where reception on any radio seems to be poor. The reception on this radio is better than any other one I have purchased. I am very happy with it. The only thing I wish it had was a auto off after 90,45 or 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend it.
Great Kitchen Radio.......2007-09-21
The Sangean Sonido is a great kitchen radio. This is not HiFi, but it is big enough to sound great over kitchen noise. It is also big enough and designed well enough to be easily operated with just one hand as well as picked up with one hand without touching any knobs or buttons. A knuckle of an otherwise wet hand is enough to change stations using the presets without moving the radio due to its size and the non-skid feet. I should not forget the non-slip volume control. AM reception is outstanding. In a side by side comparison with my Grundig S350 (short wave), the Sangean clearly came in better when there was some audible AM interference. The only downside is that I would prefer a darker color.
Great Radio.......2007-07-27
I would give this 4.5 stars. It has excellent fringe area reception and voices are clear coming out of the speaker. It seems to have less static noise even during lightning storms. The easy presets make it very easy to use!!!!
The one think that could be done is to have more than five AM presets. Then I would give it 5 stars.
