Don't waste your time with the iPod Nano if all you want is audio!

I won an iPod nano a few years ago, and it was nice to have.  However, when it came time to buy an MP3 player, I couldn't stomach the price of Apple stuff as usual!  The Fuze is a nice fit and comes with way more features than the comparable Nano (memory size) and far less the amount of money.  I have yet to try the video feature yet, but for music, it works great!  Most importantly, it works well with Linux after you've configured it into the mass storage mode.  It acts like a USB drive that you mount in Linux, and then you just copy your songs into the music directory.  I have also been impressed with the battery life as well, and I like the fact that I can add more storage capacity if I need to in the future.

I do a lot of walking and the battery on my second generation iPod shuffle died so I figured it would be easier just to go and pick up a new shuffle.  Big mistake.  Even though the product looks nifty and holds two gigabytes (More than enough to take a good walk) it's a pain in the butt to use.  The problem here is the playing and volume controls.  Now one thing about any iPod I never use is the earbuds.  I absolutely loathe them and as such I use Bose noise reduction headphones when using an iPod.  Well, the volume and track controls here are in the earbuds which means if I am using my other headset I cannot adjust the volume or skip tracks while walking.  And even WITH the iPod shuffle earbuds if I want to alter what I am listening to in anyway I have to mess around with the earbud wire.  The other irritating thing about this version of the shuffle is the fire wire.  It's only about three inches long!.  If you need an iPod spend a few extra dollars and get a Nano.

The major flaw exist, namely, the headphone jack which fails sooner or later on many Creative Zen Micro.  [...]

Now it is useless to have all those great feature if you are getting only audio channel or no sound.  Some poor souls on the forum are on the 3 or 4th replacement, and has yet find one without the dreaded headphone  jack problem.  The audio on my unit started fading on the first day, after a week, the left channel (audio) is totally no matter how much I wiggle the headphone connection.  It cost me $39 to courier it back to Creative Labs for repair or replacement, as soon as I receive the new unit, I will be sure to sell it  off right away.  Until Creative Labs fix this problem, I would recommend that you save yourself the future headache and buy an Ipod Mini or Iriver H10 instead.

I had bought this item a few weeks ago for my iPod touch 3 gen. But, after I got it in the mail and started using it, I was disappointed. I had bought it so that I could use my textfree+voice app and it turns out that the speaker on your iPod doesn't work when you plug it in. In fact, the only app where both speaker AND mic work are the talking Tom apps.
Needless to say, I have to buy another mic, this time it's gonna be a headset...

If you just want a mic, and are okay with your speakers working, this is an alright choice.

Thought I would upgrade my headphones for my IPod. The sound was terrible. The headphones that come with the IPod are a hundred times better. It was a complete waste of money. :-(

I had intended to buy one of these for a Christmas gift.  I dodged a bullet.  Fortunately I found several of these iPod speaker systems on audition at one of the large New York electronics/camera stores (I shall forego the name, should that cause problems).  The bottom line:  The Bose unit was the most expensive... by quite some margin.  The sound was mediocre with no stereo separation, whatsoever.  You will also find several units (like the Logitech), which sound MUCH better and cost 25% of the Bose.  This item is a horrible case of over-hype with a complete lack of performance.

1. We bought this system because it was wireless, but it is not, in fact, wireless. The speakers connect to each other via wires. They do not connect to the TV via wires, so in that sense they are wireless. But yes, you will need to figure out how to hide quite a few wires.

2. We bought this as a surround sound system. The surround sound only works for DVDs. It does not work if you are watching TV, Netflix, or listening to your iPod.

3. We also bought this because it has an iPod dock. The iPod that we keep in the house for listening to music is a first generation iPod - it has the most memory you can get (read expensive to replace, so we've always kept it). This iPod dock does not work with older generation iPods. Thankfully we both have iPhones, so we are just plugging in our iPhones. Of course, if we need to talk on the phone or leave the house, there goes the music. And again, it's not even surround sound with the music.

All in all, completely disappointed.

Oh, and we asked the seller (Circuit City) TWICE if we could return this product before we even opened it, and they never responded. We finally decided to give it a try and install it. Wish we hadn't. We originally didn't want to keep it because we had decided to get a different system with more speakers. But since they didn't respond, we thought we would give this one a try since we were apparently stuck with it anyways. We had no idea that the three problems above were even in the picture - had we known, we wouldn't even have accepted the delivery in the first place!

If you are looking for audio only this works good. But if you want the audio to match the video this is a real loser. It is marketed and sold as a product that will send the "sound" from your TV to a remote Bluetooth speaker. And it does that. But it delays the sound so that it doesn't match up with the people's lips on the TV. How ANNOYING! HUGE WASTE OF MONEY! I've searched all over the Internet and seems as if many others are experiencing the same issues and have NOT been able to find any sort of a fix. Does the manufacturer of this item need $30.00 + bucks that they find it worthwhile to misrepresent this device? SHAME on them and ultimately shame me too for not doing some research before buying it. I was so excited to get it that I just didn't do my homework first!

If you are buying this to replace an older "Belkin Auto Kit for iPod", think twice!! I own and was very happy with the Belkin Auto Kit for iPod, but then I bought an iPhone 3Gs I found out that the Belkin wouldn't charge the newer iPhone. So I got this Kensington LiquidAux which seemed like the same type of product, plus I thought the steering wheel remote was cool - what a bad decision! While the Belkin flawlessly cranked out very near CD-quality sound, the sound coming through this Kensington is more similar to a clock radio! There is no bass or depth to the music, and it lacks a built-in amp like the Belkin had, which means I have to turn up my stereo's volume to the MAX...which results in static and noise. What's worse is that I can't even get it to charge my iPhone 3Gs. I don't get any error messages or anything...it just doesn't charge. I've checked all connections carefully, read the instructions, and made sure it is firmly seated in my car's power port. It just doesn't work. I would return it but TigerDirect's return policy sounds like a nightmare to deal with and I'm not sure it's worth the hassle for $25. I'm looking into just getting the Scosche passPORT, which is a simple adapter that lets an old accessory (like my beloved belkin) charge a new ipod/iphone.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Scosche-passPORT-Charging-Adapter-for-iPod-touch-2G-3G-iPod-nano-4G-iPhone-3G-Black/dp/B001HN6CVA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Scosche passPORT Charging Adapter for iPod touch 2G, 3G; iPod nano 4G; iPhone 3G (Black)</a>

If you don't really care about sound quality (i.e. you think an FM transmitter sounds dandy fine), then you'd probably be satisfied with the LiquidAux, as long as you get one that actually charges like it's supposed to. Good luck!

My star rating may not be entirely fair, but I have to say that I find the compatibility issues with the various versions of the iPod mind boggling. For some reason after reading the product description I concluded that this would fully compatible with the Nano 4G, not so. I should have looked at the Belkin site first. Audio-wise it works great, but no video. I didn't really need it for video, but, hey, I didn't get all I paid for! I would like to see Amazon do a better job with all these iPod accessories of making clear what versions of the iPod they are fully compatible with.

To be fair, I thought I was buying the a-Jays Four earbuds, but I was in an airport retail shop, in a hurry to catch my plane, having just realized I had forgotten my stock apple earbuds at home. In my haste, I bought these, thinking they would be a reasonable replacement and possible upgrade. They do not even match the sound quality or functionality of the Apple earbuds that came with my iPhone.

They have lousy sound quality. I could only barely hear out of the left earbud. Mostly, what I could hear was the amplified crackling of the buds moving around in my ears or the cables moving around where they connect to the buds. It was like trying to conduct a phone call through a stethoscope....wrapped in Velcro.....and crinkly plastic bags...and loud noises. I tried them on two phone calls, but the people on the other end of the calls said they could barely hear me.

The package says these are compatible with apple products, but you can't use the stupid one-button "universal" control for anything unless you have an android and download the app for it. I was looking for something that would allow me to answer/end phone calls and skip through a playlist quickly without requiring me to fiddle with the phone screen or remove the phone from my pocket. I don't know what this universal button is supposed to do, but with my iPhone, it has all the functionality of a superfluous third nipple.

As sexy as my iPhone is with a superfluous third nipple, for sixty bucks (airport retail price....what are ya gonna do?) I can't endorse this product. I will say, the sturdy, flat ribbon cables seem like they would be fairly tangle-proof, so there's one star for that. And the packaging is very fancy. Leave it to the Swedish to design a sleek-looking, modern, high-class Volvo-esque shell to house what is essentially a disappointing Yugo interior. It's like every Ikea experience I've ever had. These are going back, on my return flight.

Like all other Bose products, the sound from the SoundDock is amazing, rich, and surprisingly room filling for such a small speaker.

Unfortunately, the fantastic sound is limited to playing files from your iPod. You can't hook the speaker up to a television, stereo, or any other audio source because there are no auxiliary audio inputs, so when the iPod isn't docked the unit is useless.

I was extremely disappointed to learn this. If it weren't for this limitation I would have ranked the SoundDock higher than 3 stars.

If I had known that Apple Music can't be transferred to an iPod I wouldn't have bought this. I only use Apple Music and the iCloud library doesn't work on the iPod Nano because once you cancel your Apple Music membership you could conceivably keep your DRM music on the iPod (as long as you don't sync it). What a waste... I'd return it if I could.

I bought this with the intention of plugging my ipod into the usb port. WRONG. Apparently you have to plug it into the AUX port? Who makes a receiver that isn't compatible with the biggest mp3 player in the world? I contacted Dual customer support and they have yet to respond. The sound quality is better on low than when you turn it up because it gets distorted past 10. Have yet to try the bluetooth which should be arriving today but I am severely disappointed because I only bought it for the Ipod port.

After using my IPod Nano 4 for years and years and loved it, I was sad when it broke.  Since I use it all the time for audiobooks and at the gym, I immediately went to the store to replace it.  My only choice was the 7th Gen Nano.  I didn't realize when I bought it that without the clicker wheel it would be VERY different.  Take that back, not different...IMPOSSIBLE.  That ridiculous touch screen on something so small that you use during activities and while driving?  Really?  What were they thinking!  With my Nano 4, I could change music, books, back up in a book, volume, etc. while it was in my pocket or in the mount in my car without even looking at it.  Now they have that over sensitive touch screen that you actually have to look at.  Try and make a minute change on that while running on a treadmill?  Guess they never tried that tat apple!.

Bottom line, I returned after a few days and ordered a Nano 5 from Amazon (couldn't find a 4).  Same price for only 8 GB storage, but it is worth it, as the new 7th Gen is basically USELESS.  So much for product research!

I purchased this device hoping to finally be able to hear the music on my iPhone in the shower and as I worked out (since Apple still hasn't created an iPhone with a decent speaker).  Unfortunately, even with the help of my echo-y shower to boost sound, the speaker has just as poor a sound as my iPhone playing on the counter by my shower.  Spend the extra few bucks on a guaranteed Bluetooth speaker with actual volume to it's sound.  This isn't even going into the high maintenance of the speaker.  Nothing is just simple push a button on, off, etc.  Yes, you can eventually manage it, but what's the point of a power button if it doesn't work like a power button.  Same with picking up calls, not a guaranteed thing.  NOT worth it!!!!!!
