fishfacejr2 says "best ipod yet" about Apple - APPLE IPOD NANO 8GB GREEN

fishfacejr2 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:58:02 GMT

i got this a few weeks ago because i lost my old ipod. this thing is so much better than last years nano. it now has a fitness feature built it. so thats cool it also has a very good video camra in it that takes great videos. another great feature is the radio, but you have to use the apple headphones that comes with it to use that. i also like that it has a built in speaker, its not the loudest speaker but it has great sound. it also has a bigger screen than last years nano. there are a lot of other cool things on it. but too many to name. so if you want a good mp3 player, try the 5th generation nano

gpunkmonkey says "The Shure SE210 Sound Isolating earphones are solid!" about Shure - Sound Isolating Earphones- Blk

gpunkmonkey — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:45:54 GMT

I have an iPod so I can't get the most out of the audio output but my Shure SE210's are great. Rather than canceling sound, it isolates it in your ears. The buds do well to drown out the outside noise. The bass isn't what one usually expects out of earphones as these are more for audiophiles or musicians in drowning out the other sounds and just hearing their own. Besides, earbuds will never be able to produce the bass to our liking... they're just too small. These are VERY durable, they come with a 2 year warranty and the sound quality is top notch.

gpunkmonkey says "The iPod Touch is a great substitute for the iPhone w/o calls." about Apple - 16GB iPod Touch Digital Media Player - Black

gpunkmonkey — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:44:53 GMT

I got the iPod Touch second generation 16GB and it has been working flawlessly so far. It is really easy to just pick up and use. I upgraded the software for $5 on iTunes and it's pretty much a third generation iPod Touch now. The games and apps are vast and though it doesn't have the BEST audio quality, it is still very solid. Also, the internet function is great but the only drawback is that it is confined to areas that get Wi-Fi (if you can connect to it). Overall, a great user-friendly media player! It's pretty much the iPhone without the thickness, camera, and ability to make calls.

Dywen says "The I Pod Touch is like touch the sky" about Apple - iPod Touch

Dywen — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:08:24 GMT

I love my i pod touch because it is lightweight, easy to use, has everything, internet , music, videos, apps and you can do so many things, I think is the best gift my husband gave me for Christmas. please buy one I recommend for heart and what better place to do that SEARS the best friend of our pocket.

The price for this marvel worth is neither expensive or cheap, the perfect image, excellent speed so easy that even my two year old son handles which I think is great because I think our children will live a much more advanced technology and we must prepare them. Good luck!!!!!!

feistychic1181 says "More than enough" about Apple iPod Classic 80G

feistychic1181 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:22:46 GMT

The Apple iPod Classic 80G is the perfect iPod for anyone who loves music. I will admit, I am not a very tech savvy individual. However, this device is very easy to use. If you are most interested in listening to music and maybe having a few movies on to watch, this is the iPod for you. If you like more advanced technological devices that allow for more apps, this may not be the product for you. But I'm not into all that extra stuff. I find it to be unnecessary and I definitely don't want to pay for something I don't want to and don't know how to use. 80G is more than enough memory. This product is a great value for someone who just wants to listen to good music and not worry about all the other extras. We bought this iPod for my daughter and she loved it. Her little brother broke it and we are going to replace it with an identical one because we were so pleased with the original purchase. Why upgrade when this device has more than enough?

aldebaran575 says "Awesome system!!!! " about Tivoli Audio - iSongbook Portable iPod Audio System

aldebaran575 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:49:50 GMT

I was looking for an ipod dock for some time but didn't want to buy one just to buy one. I was looking for the right one. The Tivoli iSongBook was recommended to be a co-worker (I'm a Systems Administrator in a rather large IT department) and was told Sears was offering a steal of a price on these. They were selling them for $100 each with a $50 instant rebated. I only paid $50.00! and it was the best $50 ever spent! I love all of the features!

My office is on the ground floor located in the center of the building. With all of the concrete walls that surrounds my office, radio signals just don't reach my office... no radio, no cell phone reception.. nothing! unitl the iSongBook! What amazing reception from this little box! It has reconnected us with the outside world again during the 9-5!

The sound is awesome and so is the size! I was looking to pick up another one for my daughter, but they are now selling for as much as $400!!!!! Wow! Still worth it! With...

Angie-V says "Much better value for the same price as a 2G Ipod Shuffle!" about SanDisk - Sansa Clip MP3 Player 4GB - Silver

Angie-V — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:46:11 GMT

I kept loosing on Ipod shuffle after another. Tired of purchasing the same old, relatively expensive shuffle I looked for a "cheaper" alternative. I turned to the Sansa. I realized then that I found a dimond in the rough. Not only could it hold twice as much music for the same or cheaper price, but it also lets you see the song list & arrange how you want to play it! This is a necessity you must learn to live w/out w/a shuffle. If the screen & double the G's isn't enough it also has an excellent Radio! Ok, still not impressed? How about a digital recorder? How about not having to download ANOTHER music software to use it? That's right, it works w/your existing Wndows Media Player. This thing is so handy it sits in my purse right next to my lip gloss & credit card : P. I never go anywhere w/out it! Definately a great value. I think everyone knows you are paying for the name when you purchase Ipod.

eatmysecretions says "The Sandisk 4gig Fuze mp3 player in pink, is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G." about SanDisk - 4GB Sansa Fuze MP3 Player / Pink

eatmysecretions — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:04:40 GMT

I love this product, I've had it for a little while now, and it has yet to let me down. I wouldn't trade it for anything. If this one eventually dies, I will try to get an mp3 player from the same company, because their products are great! It's a 4 gigabite pink Mp3 player, and it's just as cute as it is reliable. If someone asked me for a suggestion on an Mp3 player, I would definitely suggest this one.

As far as I can tell this has nothing wrong with it, because I have yet to find any con's, and it has ton's of pro's. It never gives me problems when connected to the computer, it was easy to get music onto, it's easy to charge, and all around amazing!

omilani says "I'm bringing sexy back" about Apple - 8GB iPod Nano Digital Media Player - Blue

omilani — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:39:18 GMT

Ok.....Apple reaaaally outidid (is that a word?) themselves with this one. The new ipod Nano 5g is great!!! I absolutely love it. I am now training to run a marathon and I wanted to buy one of the Garmin GPS watches to keep track of my runs - but when I saw the new ipod.... FIRST i wiped the drool from my mouth and then I hurried and got one. Not only is the Nike+ addition the best invention since sliced bread (really? why do they say that??) But I love the camera on it..... the video screen...games....voice notifications...color... need I say more - I don't even use my classic anymore I just have been enjoying the Nano!

maureen318 says "The iPod touch is great fun!" about Apple - iPod Touch

maureen318 — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 14:54:57 GMT

I love how much music the iPod touch can hold. I had an older iPod previously, and it didn't hold enough music to get me through the work week. This does. I love all the apps you can get for it. Tons of them are free, and out of the ones that cost money, most are only a few dollars if that. Most of the stuff it can do is pretty simple to figure out, a couple things take a minute longer to figure out. Overall it's pretty user friendly. Ilike that it has a volume control on the side. I also like that it has external sound, so if you want your friend to hear something, you don't have to share your earphones. One thing I don't like is that is not compatible with all iPod chargers/accessories. I have a car charger that also plays the iPod through the speakers, it will play the iPod touch, but not charge it.

jennybear14 says "I love my iPod and couldn't live without! " about Apple - iPod Classic 160GB Media Player

jennybear14 — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:36:04 GMT

Great product! Probably more memory than I'll ever use, but totally worth it! Whether I am cooking or doing household chores and have it playing in my docking station hooked up to my Bose stereo or gardening on the weekends with my headphones on; my husband certainly got his monies worth purchasing this product for me! Only error I made was originally I would or my husband would purchase the iTunes gift cards for me, after a while that was a pain so I put in my debit card information and after the first month, I was astounded in how much money I spent on music. My only caution/tip is stick with the gift cards, so you don't end up spending over $200 in a month on music! But, on the flip side it was simple and easy downloading my favorite songs off of the CDs I already owned and saved us extra money! This is a great gift for someone who loves music or even for yourself!

RevPam says "I absolutely love it and I can tell mine from everybody else's" about Sonic Impact Technologies - Speaker Case for iPod - Pink

RevPam — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 02:34:36 GMT

I traveled out of town and looked for my "travel" kit for my iPod which included the power cord, small speakers and a few other things. When one of my friends went to play her iPod in her room, she pulled out a black case and just started playing music. I knew I had to have one. When I looked online all I saw were black cases and I like standing out so when I saw this pink one, I knew it was the one for me. I love it, I can tell mine from everyone else's. It has good sound quality and now I don't leave home without it when I hit the road....

CaptainSTH says "I concede my war against Steve Jobs." about Apple - 16GB iPod Nano Digital Media Player - Black

CaptainSTH — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 02:47:39 GMT

For the longest time, I swore off Apple products. Steve Jobs had plenty of money and none of mine would help line his wallet, thank you very much. My first mp3 player was a Sansa 8gb, styled very similarly to the current Nano design, with a more tangible flywheel and a thicker feel. It had all the features I needed, was very similar in style to what was "in", and was about 1/2 the cost. At the time, I loved it...

...til it started deleting my music at will.

Flash forward a year or so later, to Christmas 2008, and my wife presents me a brand new iPod Nano. 16gb, in black. It matched my car! Hesitation got the better of me, but after a week or so, I downloaded the appropriate software, and gave it a whirl.

The first thing I noticed was how intuitive iTunes, the software, was. I came of age when digital music was just rearing its ugly head, and Napster was free. One feature I loved about Napster was how I could open the window, all my music was right there, and I could set it, and forget it...

SHC-AlexO says "I love my iPod again" about Apple - iPod Touch

SHC-AlexO — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:32:11 GMT

My iPod Touch (which is my sixth iPod) makes me love Apple again. I bought one of the first iPods (for $550!) years ago. Your first iPod purchase changes everything. You start wondering how you existed before you had one.

The iPod Touch moves my iPod from essential device to my favorite. Because I don't want an iPhone, but I'm dying to know what the fuss is about, the iPod touch gives me what I need. The games are great and it connects to wireless internet so I can check email and the weather.

The only thing I wish is that I would have spent the extra money for the larger hard drive. I filled it quickly with videos and apps!

firefighter22 says "Great Sound, Small Speaker" about Maxwave - Power Pail Portable MP3 Music System

firefighter22 — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:36:03 GMT

This little speaker provides some great sound! It's lightweight so it's easy to take with you wherever you go. It can use batteries or plug it into an outlet. You can plug any mp3 player into it by plugging the cord into the headphone jack, however if they made the cord a little longer you could plug something like a laptop into it or another music device, but you can just buy an extension for that. This isn't going to be the worlds smallest speaker but for the price you cant go wrong. You can set this on a table, desk, wherever, it wont take up that much space compared to a stereo. Would be nice if this had wireless capabilities but it's not a huge setback. Check out this speaker, you wont be disappointed!

BlueCrewAngee says "eh maybe..." about Element - 4GB MP3 Player w/ Video

BlueCrewAngee — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 04:19:59 GMT

i totally bought this for my fiancee..... just a quick easy mp3 for while he was working out. didn't want to go big, cause lets face it he loses them and breaks them ALL THE TIME.... =( I was sad when i realized I HAD to have a SD card in it.... and it had to be a mini one... the ones i have don't fit it... it's easy to use. it's kind of light weight so it feels kinda cheap and cheesy... but it'll do. It's a really cool design and I like the whole "touch" thing it has going on. I wouldn't say DONT BUY THIS but I would say if you want something really good.... pay the money. you honestly get what you pay for =) happy listening.

Rap-1-A-Song says "It can take all your pains and enlighten your Ears..Nice" about SanDisk - 4GB Sansa Fuze MP3 Player / Pink

Rap-1-A-Song — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:55:35 GMT

It's a great products.. has a rechargeble battery..so woriies about getting new batteries...(can recharge with poweroutlet or car charger or through computer system)

Great handy product on the go.. my didnot break even with the greatest fall it has been through with me... Hope people around me did the same.. :)

The ear buds are decent but the music output with those ear buds is great.... ears might pain with those ear buds if you listen to music for more tha 5 to 6 hours continuously...

It will be a great buy ...

gulicious says "small enough to carry with you on runs" about Apple - iPod Nano 3rd Generation Media Player

gulicious — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:53:39 GMT

I run every day and always wanted an iPod to be on me, except they were the older bulky ones, or the fragile thin plastic type. In the newer nano, with a metal casing on front and back, I don't feel like this will get damaged, or take on moisture if its in my pocket. I also do like the size being very thin and wider so it can fit on an arm band. I don't use any other iPod to run with and have been satisfied with the current model. One thing I found poorly designed is the wheel that you use to scroll through menus. It is a smaller iPod but the wheels tiny radius is difficult to get used to.

gulicious says "great device for those with wi-fi everywhere" about Apple - iPod Touch

gulicious — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:52:42 GMT

The iPod Touch is able to do most of the things the iPhone can do but lacks the voice capabilities - although there is a lack of calling people, it is a smaller device and can receive wi-fi signals and runs a lot faster.

If you are someone with wi-fi in your home, office, and find a signal in most local places, the iPod Touch can end up saving you money in the long run since the device is a one time fee and there is no monthly payments necessary to take advantage of the applications. I had an iPod Touch and used it on the wi-fi in my home and it was incredibly fast and can replace your current iPod, and it does far more. Sadly this will not help if you are carrying a phone and don't like two devices in your pockets, so chose wisely.

iluvkmartmore says "Definitely the iPod killer" about Microsoft - Zune (30GB)

iluvkmartmore — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:48:08 GMT

I wanted to buck the trend a few years ago and get a Zune. I am so glad I did. I absolutely love it. When I tell people I have a Zune most go "what's that?". Once I show them they usually are extremely impressed, even those with iPods! Sound quality is great with it. I like the controls on here so much better than on the iPod. I feel like I am definitely a Zune fan for life. It is great that Microsoft allows us to update our Zune software for FREE. I cannot wait until the touch screen Zune comes out this fall!
