Top 5 Best iPods to Purchase in 2022 (Buyer's Guide)

Instead of saying D A C, just say "dak". And Nano 7th is used by me every day. It's got BT!

I had a nano 6th gen in high school. I wore it as a watch with one of those bands and ran earbuds up my sleeve. We weren't allowed to listen to music on campus even outside of class. That was one of the few ways to get away with it since Bluetooth earbuds weren't really a thing yet. Good times.

I have the iPod 5.5 and I used to have a 6th gen nano. Gonna get one again for the gym.

The iPod Touch 4 is still just as functional as the Nano 7. It still plays music, it has Bluetooth, it plays podcasts and videos (HD!). You can even (surprisingly) play the web version of YouTube on it. Plus it can use the camera for photos and FaceTime! Would I buy it instead of the Nano 7? Probably not. The 7 is just so cool! But the Nano 5 is still my all time favorite.

The Wolfson DAC is in quite a few different models. But as you said it comes down to so much more than just the audio quality, it's really the experience.

I have two of the 7th generation as a millennial dance teacher! People see the doc I have for it in my home speaker and laugh lol my students have yet to figure out how to use it in dance class. I had the nanos too! Love these videos! 🎉

The iPod 3g is my daily driver, but it's very picky on what adapters and CF/SD cards it can use. The iPod 4g monochrome on the other hand, is extremely easy to upgrade and you have a larger selection of higher capacity batteries to choose from. The monochrome screens from the older iPods are so much easier to read, especially in direct daylight.

5:25 That fly wanted to be in the video. I've still got my iPod Touch 7th gen, and it's on ios 15, so it got two more major releases than what you said. I don't have to worry about it interrupting me with a spam call unlike my iPhone SE.

I like and appreciate your knowledge, your videos explain it very well

I have a 5.5 gen and want a 7th gen because I prefer the metal look and the software, but I’ve been put off by people saying how difficult it is to open up… maybe I’ll just put Rockbox on the 5.5!

me when I got one because I find spotify boring:

I have heard people comment that iPod Classic 5th gen has a bit more darker sound, while having better spacial soundstage and iPod Classic 7th gen essentially sounds like a modern iPhone, having an overall brighter sound and having more detailed imaging for the instrumentals. I have also seen comments that 5th gen would let you listen to it for more hours without your ears getting tired while the modern DAC sound on 7th gen and later will sound higher quality in short term, but will make you more tired in longer term. This is all very subjective information and should be taken with a grain of salt. I admit that it's not something I would be able to pick up on a blind audio test, however, I do admit that overall and especially after longer use you can feel a different theme, by using the same headphone equipment, in using an iPod 5th gen and iPhone audio I really do attest in 'perceiving' these aforementioned differences.

I have all 7 generations of both the iPod Touch and iPod Nano. I even have two first gen iPod Minis but one of them has a dead hard drive and I do want to save the iPod. I have yet to get a second gen iPod mini but I will remain patient. I have two soon to be three iPod Shuffles. I have the first and second gen shuffles and the one coming in the mail is a fourth gen. I have many iPods as I never had one during my teen years.

I much prefer the iPod Touch, because I occasionally DJ at informal private house parties like; Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s Eve etc:, usually in someone’s backyard, and if my iPad touch gets stolen, or a beer spills on it, no big deal, (versus leaving my iPhone out there) Also, I can make playlists and arrange the songs in particular order that I like. (I don’t know if I can you can do those of those older iPods with the smaller displays screens) but it’s very important for me to have songs in a certain order on my playlist. Not just having a playlist with songs in a random order. So I can can easily see the playlist songs on the iPod touch, the best for me based on its large display. I could manually see & skip from song #3 to song #7 on my playlist easily. (Verse it seems to me that it would be much harder to do with with the first two iPods or the Last two iPods you demonstrated)

I have the Touch 7. It’s perfect for me, and Intake it everywhere. It’s so capable and so small. The battery is just fine for what I need, and I can catch up on all my podcasts while offline.

Thank you for the video ive been biten with the ipod bug of lately, i lost a 160gb 7gen long time ago, and i miss it, i want a new (to me) one to modernize and was wondering if it was the best one to get.

I buy ipod touch v2. Its cheap , and I only use it for music and the Bluetooth to connect to car. Love the shuttle and its no brick ❤

ı am between classic 7 and nano 7 is classic 7 so much better better in sound or minor difference? if its only minor ı choose nano because of form factor good software and screen

Where should I go to buy a iPod nano 7th gen i want quality but obviously not over priced

I have an iPod Touch 7th generation. Will it still work in 5-6 if I don’t use it with the internet and just download MP3 files from my iMac?
