MP3 Players: iPod / iriver / Zen

<< < (2/18) > >>

KharBevNor:
In terms of actual performance and quality, Zen is #1, followed by the ipod then the iriver. With that in mind, choose by price.

Kai:
Just out of curiosity, according to who? Because I'm currently planning to get one of these things myself sooner or later, and if the Zen's better I'll go with it.

KharBevNor:
According to me and a good few of those 'compare products' websites/magazines/tv shows I've seen.

The Zen has a better internal sound-system, a higher maximum volume, no known battery issues (unlike the ipod) and a full charge lasts longer, and it's more robust. The differences between the interfaces are a matter of personal taste, really. The only known issue with the Zen is that its headphone port can be damaged by rough handling, though they all come with a one year warranty and the problem is the type of thing that you could have fixed down at your local electronics store, once breaking the warranty seal isn't an issue.

Also, the Zen is a serious, solid mp3 playing device, rather than a grotesque hipster fashion accessory, if you care about that kind of thing.

Kai:
The forced chic is the main reason I wouldn't want to get an ipod. Also, all those rich kids at my school who's parents buy them and then they put like, 14 songs on it.


So once I get money I'll probably go with the Zen then.

Merkava:
The Zen sounds fantastic.
