'THE BIG ONE'
Strengths:
Loads of room, looks great, easy to use.
Weaknesses:
Poor battery, ‘stylish’ earphones, not cheap.
Overall:
I splashed out on the big boy of the iPod world and for the most part I haven’t looked back. I had to get some new headphones though, partly because in-ears hurt my ears and also because they sounded crap. I also heard they were a mugger magnet. I’ve had it for five months now and am still nowhere near filling up the hard drive. What I really like about it is not having to make decisions on what I record, there’s room for as many albums as I need and then I can just fast-forward tracks later.
