But the white earbuds that come with the iPod have such good sound quality that even I use them on a regular basis.

The earbuds included with the iPod have a great sound quality although they are a bit larger and a little less comfortable than I would prefer.

Squeaky clean playback and awesome sound quality

Oh well, you can always use the ever-so-popular MP3, AAC (which I recomment because Apple Lossless [AAC] means you lose no quality from the CD version you just burned)

It's so handy, the sound quality is great, and it, like all Mac products, is extremely easy to use

But rest assured to those of you who hesitate, the quality is fine.

Amazing quality.

The quality of the recordings is far better than I remember when listening to the original discs, some featuring more detail on the iPod than I ever heard before.

To my amazement, the sound quality was superb; even better than my Sony M-Models (which are great)

Even the quality isn't at good in my opinion.

For 300 dollars (284 at the moment, thanks to Amazon's sale), you get a very sturdy MP3 player with loads of space, great sound quality, and a very elegant look

The quality of the music depends on the compression factor - the greater the compression, the lower the quality

For sound quality, its great

I bought the 20 gig ipod because my old one broke after dropping on the floor from about 3 feet (cheap quality) but my new one works great, i don't think the click wheel is that much better than the old ipod but it seems to make things a little faster

I got the Sony cassette adaptor for the car and it works fine, but the sound quality is, of course, not as good as a CD or a well-tuned radio station

I prefer quality, so I cannot help but have the EQ on at all times

The sound quality is good over headphones.

And of course to top it all off, the sound quality is great

I spent a couple hours comparing tracks between my CD player and the Ipod, and quite often the Ipod sound quality lacked the richness I grew accustomed to

Also, Apple may claim 5,000 songs...but that's if you rip everything at lousy quality.

I was worried about what the sound quality would be like, but that seems to be just as good as the actual CD sound

There are mp3 players that hold just as much and are of much better quality than an ipod and cost hundreds less

I was looking for a music system with good quality sound, easy to handle, can carry anywhere wherever I want

I have really enjoyed the audio quality and the ability to leave my CD's at home in my cupboard

The ipod does have quirks as well such as you can't delete a playlist from the unit on the go, you can't name the on the go playlists from the unit on the go and most of all it scratches so very easily

I hope you enjoy your I-Pod!
