Sound is great on newer updated releases thru Amazon & I tunes

The original sound is fine as it is

Upon turning the EQ off, the distortion vanished completely, the sound was just fine, pretty good in fact

The classic has great sound, great battery life for music, and the best no-look volume control etc

Great sound and quality

No, I don't bother with the provided ear buds, I use a basic ten dollar pair of Sony headphones--and the sound is fantastic

But I've tried what I know, and can't give the Classic much of a rating when its sound is so bad.

I find the equalizer is best off (not one EQ setting seems to enhance the sound in the way I like), but apart from that it seems a wonderfully designed music player

Plus the headphone jack was loosening up as well ( sound coming out of one side )

The sound, awesome

Great iPod love the sound the company should have keep making them

It has a lot of memory, good sound, and its physically -plenty small.

It's a shame that you have to turn off the EQ settings to get good sound

It is very user-friendly, has great storage space, the sound is good, the battery life is excellent, and the screen (which, at first, I was concerned would be too small for my (ahem) older bespeckled eyes) is actually very sharp

This seems to be debated on a lot, but it seems the general conclusion, mine as well, is that the Iopd classic is slightly warmer sounding with a better bass response in general.

Sweet sounds restored from my '04 OG 20GB white iPod Classic

you want normal distortion free sound

sound is incredible for both voice and music.

The sound of the iTunes mp3's is as good as the original CD's, there is no mess of CD's to deal with any longer, and the iPod itself sits in a Yamaha Universal iPod Dock and can be controlled by the Yamaha remote with on-screen menus

* Great sound and picture

I love its sound and all the space it hods

I thought it was due to the bad sound everyone was talking about until I turned OFF the EQ

Only gripe is the hard drive makes audible clicking sounds, but it's not an issue.

Great sound out of a little box.

The objective of the iPod is to offer reasonable sound and video at a reasonable price

Video is crystal clear, and the Sound is truely amazing

Sound did not work

Some of the really nice updates on this Ipod compared to older models follow:1 Bigger album artwork(slightly), although you cant just look at album covers and nothing more like the last model.2 Better sound.
