buy an iPOD or a generic mp3 player for half the price of an ipod? ipod? gneric?  |
|
My ipod went missing, so I decided to go online and see if I could find a bargain on a BRAND NEW ipod. I would even settle for a used ipod if the price was right. But then I stumbled on some generic NON-Brand name mp3 & mp4 players ( made in China ) Now my question is, what are the pros and cons for buying brand name ipods and generic mp3/ mp4 players. Would you buy an ipod or a generic mp3 or mp4 player? (which you could get for less than half the price of an ipod ) thanks,Michael

2. mama_bear (599)  | 8 months ago | i love my ipod more than life itself it even has a name zeepod. ha ha yes strange i know but this is like my best friend. my ipod can play videos and songs, i can download ebooks too and keep notes, pictures, it tells international time, there is a calendar in there too.this is pretty great for those long roadtrips or flights. i recommend getting the real deal, this is because should anything happen to your ipod whilst it is still under warranty, apple fixes it for free. if they cannot fix it then they will send you a brand new one to replace the old one. one thing that i would recommend is backing up all your music and stuff on the computer, because when you send it in to be fixed you have to wipe it clean.
i am able to watch series that i have downloaded on my ipod, and it stores a lot of music too at present i have about 200 albums on there. besides which you get what you pay for, with technology i would rather spend the money and get quality, it is totally worth it. if you do not then you run the risk of getting some useless gadget that will not last very long whose software will degrade quickly. with ipod you not only get a great quality machine but you also get the repair service, and when the warrantly runs out you have the option to pay a little more in order for it to be strethved longer.
i lost my ipod for 2 days and it was the worst time ever, i have never felt so lonely. let us know what you end up purchasing. oh and 2 secnd hand ipod is not a good idea, best save up and buy one brand new.

3. savetheunlikely9 (346) | 8 months ago | Okay, here's my thought: Don't do either of those options. Get a brand name mp3 player in a store, that isn't an ipod.
I can't paste the link, but, try googling "top 10 mp3 players"
iPods: Pros - pretty, functions perfectly good games huge storage novelty of an iPod.
cons: expensive don't always last might get stolen
generic - pros: cheap same storage size looks similar
cons: much slower to start up may break less support different warrenty

4. robert67 (1341) | 8 months ago | i bought a 4 gig ipod lookalike which was made in china. i dont think it's anywhere near as good as an ipod. i had to use my computer to create a playlist and it wouldn't accept any more than 2 gig of songs and videos. i couldn't even store them by artist or genre so it took forever to find a particular song.
i think it's always best to buy the genuine product. i sold mine on ebay and bought a real ipod and i would never part with it.

| 5. spam28 (24) | 8 months ago | If you try the ChinaPod before you buy it and you think it have every thing you need then is nothing to be said against it. But i think its not easy to get your warranty claim if it break.

| 6. wallpapers123 (6) | 8 months ago | Feel very sorry for you. ipods are very neat and sophisticated. They are kind of boring if used for a long time. ipods are like benchmarks for mp3 players.But sure you can get a decent non branded player for less price than an ipod.I used to have an chinese mp3 player 2GB memory. It worked nice for a month or so,but when i formatted it for the first time,it was left with just 512MB of memory.So they are not very reliable.

| 7. mrsakai55 (57) | 8 months ago | You can take your chances. You get what you pay for. So you pay for half the price, it may last you hopefully for half the year. Then you have to contend with it working with your computer and music player. Sometimes it is just easier to spend more to know what you are getting.

8. johnnyg456 (225) | 8 months ago | It really depends on your taste, but I think Ipods are more reliable. It all depends on what kind of mp3 your getting, but most brand names work pretty good. But if it were me, and I lost my ipod, I would use that excuse to buy the newest generation ipod. I would most likely get a Ipod touch.
But if I could afford at&t's phone plan, I would get the Iphone, just because its cheap if you compare its functions to an Ipod or any other phone.

| 9. m2ponce (62) | 8 months ago | i suggest you stick to the original one. there are ipod nanos that cost less than the ipod original although they have limited space. if you love videos then you don't have any choice but to buy the original ipod. generic or imitation brands from china are ok for the first 1-3 years but it doesn't last long. my ipod is already 3years old and my friend's is almost 4 years old. although ipods are more expensive they are more reliable and you will use them for a long time. the price is worth it.

| 10. denisewy (78) | 8 months ago | I prefer you buy an ipod. You are sure of Ipod's quality unlike the generic ones. There was even a news that some generic gadgets explodes when charged! Generic may be cheap but it won't last long.

| brokenwings24 (76) | 8 months ago | I must say if you really loves music and wants your m0ney to be worth it on what you buy go for original ipod it may be expensive buT you will assure that you will get the best quality and it will last long especially if you have buget for that,!BuT since were now on a crisis and buying expensive ones will be a luxury already go for the generic ones although it d0esnt contain the original software like ipod buT still you can play and enjoy music that you like,all i can say is that before you buy an mp3 player always think twice whether you afford it,if you cand afford for that look for tha advantages and dis- advantages of both brand ok happy shopping..
