Damage Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Seems as though iPods have an unquenchable hunger for right drivers in many headphones.What I want to know is, where's the freaking outrage over this? If this situation happens with Sony, Creative, Rio, Sandisk, the ENTIRE INTARWEB would be up in arms. When it's apple, where's the outrage?Oh wait, I did forget that Apple can do no wrong.Silly me.

Richard_p Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 The phrase 'HAHA! Suckaz!' comes to mind. I only read the first page but it does look like Damage as a very good point. No-one seems real bothered about it.Apple should re-call the devices.Just jumped to page three this is pricelss."I'm going to take my chances with my Future Sonics EM3's. They cost me $99"Because it couldn't possible be the fault of the iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 this also happened a lot when i had my ipod mini...it blew 2 pairs of ex-71's, a pair of the panasonic ex71's...and the sound quality was crap.Why do you think i bought a solid sony product ?

Guest Stuge Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I think this a big flaw in I-pod but I`m amazed that Apple still has done noting to resolve this & I`m even further amazed that people are still buying this crap .This flaw looks bigger than the Connect software ..

Dinko Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) The flaw is much bigger but it's not as noticeable in the sense that it's harder to identify the player as the culprit.Earphones are notorious for breaking fast (probably due to the conditions they are exposed to). By the time you realize it's your player breaking them, you've already changed a number of pairs, and much time has elapsed.The defect which burns only one side of the headphones is too bizarre to be associated with the player. There are no moving mechanical parts, no big electric current passing through... Simply put, the chances that the player broke the headphone is lower than the chance that the earphone was exposed to external conditions which broke it, or was simply defective.The broken headphone problem takes time to develop. When you get a badly working Connect player, it slaps you in the face, and takes control of your computer almost immediately. When it works, it's great. But when it doesn't, it's an immediate, and significantly painful experience. It's frustrating on its own, but add to that the fact that you bought a new guizmo and you can't even use it.Well, there's that and the fact that Apple fanpersons are simply overzealous about their iPoos.

Guest Stuge Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Ok Ok ,I don`t` mean that Connect is good or something .Using some cheaper is not a problem But if we use some costly $300 headphone with I-pod that means we are going to lose them after sometime thats really bad ..I hope Apple solves this issue in their comming I-pods ..

Dinko Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I hope Apple solves this issue in their comming I-pods ..Doubtful. More likely:- iPoo will continue to destroy earphones- Apple will release Apple-branded earphones which can resist destruction- Any earphone other than the Apple-branded iPoo earphone will be annihilated by iPooSo iPod used will be stuck using Apple earphones forever. iPod fans will call it "The best invention in the history of the world" and argue that anyone pointing out the flaws of such a magnificent system is just jealous because Sony didn't invent it first.

MiG Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 well the only decent way 2 get good sound from an ipod is too buy really expensive headphones, which still doesnt fix distortion, makes bass still sound weak, and then blows the right driver of your £100 headphones.MAN SIGN ME UP !! P.S. - Apple now swap any ipod headphones that break free of charge, but then again those headphones suck so why would you want another pair.
