[Zen vs iPod] THE FINAL SHOWDOWN
 

offline DeleriousWeasel from Guam on 2006-03-18 04:02 [#01862515]

although I am still mourning the death of my Zen Sleek
which went out with a bang (literally!), I have decided the
time is ripe for the final showdown between these two giants
of the mp3 industy. It will be a bloody battle to the end of
the thread, Golden Axe style until there is a final
Victor - all votes count.

NB. Once this thread is over, the banter of iPod owners who
are design mad against those who prefer the sound quality of
the Zen will finally be over.

Who shall prevail? You decide.

I'm not sure what we're supposed to be doing here...

...but i have an i-pod mini..and hate it... I want it dead.
Only one headphone works and the wires have split,and the
battery doesn't hold any power.I've only had a year.fucking
thing.I want a creative zen thingy...but i know nothing
about Mp3's players...or really what we're discussing here.I
just thought i'd let you know i hate my i-pod.Alot.

I also realllly fucking hate I-tunes...I have the same
like,100 songs i first loaded up on there,and haven't
changed them because i hate I-tunes that much.I haven't even
loaded it onto my new computer....
This shows how little i use my i-pod.

I like my iPod. It's the perfect weight (for my pocket) and
the size is perfect (for my pocket) and the only times I've
had a problem with it are because I've done something stupid
like disconnecting it before it was ready etc.

NEver used a Zen so can't comment but I don't own one so
they suck cock like a 4th grader.

I just hate iPods out of basic principal. Count me in for
zen, because the name doesn't make my spine shudder.

Nevermind the iPod. Its biggest sales factor is the
'awesome' list of accesories! According to a local
dealer...

iAudio is the best the market has to offer right now. The
sound on this thing is superior even to the magnificent
Sony's (which everyone hates because you can't get pictures
on it boohoo and it requires SonicStage.. A pity)

iAudio

Never heard of them but when my iPod packs up I'll be sure
to check them out. Can't stick with the same brand all the
time.

The first 100gig+ I hear of is probably getting my vote
though :D

and Zen is really pulling away with it here, another vote
goes in their favour and it's looking like a one sided
affair. Where are all you iPod lovers? Combo? Tridenti??

I think redrums first post actually meant that iPods aren't
even close to being as good as Zen. Thats what he meant you
can't be serious about.

yes, you're right! A vote for iPod and that's doubled

If you want to find another cheap point for iPod, the work
great when you throw them at a chav's head.

they're just cooler than all the others. people who say
they're buying certain mp3 players because the soundquality
is better are fooling themselves. mp3 players sounding good
LOL

that's not cheap, that's a solid point. How could we forget
chavs.. then again a point has to go to Zen because a chav
is 45% more likely to mug someone for their "cool-looking"
iPod rather than a Zen.

would you notice a big diffenerence while jogging, or while
you're in the subway? (wearing secondgrade in-ears and
playing 128kbps)

Well not under every circumstances of course, but that's no
argument for buying equipment of lesser quality for the same
price or more expensive. On train rides (which take up 80%
of the time I spend listening to music on the device) there
is definitely a remarkable difference, I assure you.

Also, don't buy secondgrade in-ears :P
