again you still go into ipod threads and comment on this rather than helping th OP out at all
he asked for headphones you crapped on the ipod
I put an "imo" in front of my comment on the iPod's looks, and if you bothered reading the post you'll see I only commented on it in relation to the OP's question until the rabid fanboys attacked me, and obviously I'll defend myself when attacked.
and the link you posted bashing the ipod did mention that using better quality headphones did alleviate some of the sound quality issues but rather than that you just bashed the ipod some more
The link implied that higher quality headphones help only marginally and don't come close to alleviating the problem, and I've only "bashed" the iPod (by stating facts about it :roll: ) when
you brought up other aspects of it. I figured you wanted to discuss it, since you brought up other ways in which you adore it.
how does that help him at all he already bought the ipod
Ebay, if it's important enough to him.
On Sony vs. Sennheiser: I haven't heard any Sony phones, much less Sony earbuds; I don't buy Sony products since they tend to be overpriced and of low quality, and since the company is so unethical. I do have a pair of Sennheiser hd280s (big cans) and can say they're excellent, but I haven't heard their earbuds either.
here is your first post in this thread
Hate to break it to ya, but it's not the headphones. Among many, many other reasons not to buy iPods is their notoriously bad sound quality.
The price you pay for being trendy. Sorry man
how is that now insulting
also no one insulted until you compared ipod users to aol users
saying "are you on crack?" imo is not an insult and that was about the ipod earphones anyway not the ipod itself
you then comment saying the earphones are not a problem it is the fault of the ipod itself
then later down you say it comes with crappy earphones
no one says anything insulting to you until you say this:
If things worked that way AOL wouldn't have many subscribers and reality TV wouldn't have many viewers. But the average person is pretty damn stupid, and half of them are even dumber than that. Throw gimmicky white plastic and some tacky neon lights on just about anything and it'll sell.
you still didnt refute your comment on the price either
how you can say the ipod is expensive when it is the same price as the iriver
i can at least admit there are problems with the ipod and to
i conceded that the iriver has better EQ sound quality features and even battery life
in spite of that i still choose to purchase the ipod and if i had to make the decision again i would
you can't argue that the ipod's interface wins hands down
nor size (albeit a minor difference)
looks are subjective but i am not going to call the iriver a child's toy
even though i prefer the ipod's look much better
also last i heard not sure if this has changed:
the iriver could not make playlists on the fly that is one feature that I really thought was needed in 3g/4g ipods
you state this
perhaps you can't so easily admit fault with the iPod?
how is that a response to
i can admit fault in the ipod
i wish it didn't scratch so easily, i wish the EQ was better
i dont go running into any iriver thread and start crapping it
i know the ipod isn't perfect i even admitted one fault you never even mentioned
it scratches like a bitch and any time you touch it with your fingers it gets very ugly fingerprints
and actually that is my biggest complaint with it, ogg would be nice but none of the music i have on my computer is in ogg so it is not an issue for me
if i want good quality i will listen to a CD on my home theater for portable quality isnt as much of a factor to me, i was listening to the radio most of the time when outside so even though the ipod may sound horrible to you it does still sound better than radio which is what i'm used to
IMO you shouldn't post in ipod threads because this happens every time you do
