Trust me, the 7th gen nano is where it’s at 👌🏼 you still get radio, have Bluetooth, and better charging with the lightning cable

I would have gotten a nano 7th gen, since that had Bluetooth. There's also nothing forcing you to buy songs through iTunes, you can use CDs and any mp3 or mp4 audio file

wireless headphones:
"ok lets listen to some tunes"

I love my iPod classic I modded with 256GB SD card and 2000MAH battery. Last year I attended a wedding and left my phone at home. The fact I did that and just had my iPod and DSLR on me, made me enjoy the day so much more because I knew i would have just doom scrolled social media. I got to interact with the people that are now family. I really think we all need to put our phones down and take a look at the real world.

7:24 If you’re looking for a similar form factor with Bluetooth you could try the 7th gen Nano

I switched back to my iPod classic...I like owning my music.

I hope apple will create an entertainment free iphone for productivity, in which you can only listen to music, use camera and only call and maybe use google map

1:02 : the struggles of having a wired headphones 😂😂😂

In the era of tws I almost forgot this struggle and how frustrating it used to be.

i remember my friend filming me asking a librarian for a book on how to read on a 5th gen ipod nano.

The trick to wired headphones is a cable clip for the wire to your shirt. Run the headphones under your shirt, clip the cable at the neck on your shirt.

My solution to this was get a 7th gen iPod touch and just don’t connect any Apple accounts to it. At that point you can load MP3s onto it like any other iPod touch but get full Bluetooth headphone functionality (example noise cancellation on AirPods Pro). 7th gen nano is great too but an iPod touch has way more storage. Another benefit to the touch is you can save music from a streaming device offline and just turn off WiFi. It’s still way smaller than a modern smartphone

The filming and editing are on point. Congrats on the work!

You know you can sync any old MP3 to any old iPod, right? You don’t need to use iTunes to buy music, you just need it to add songs to your device. Best part is, if you’re like me, and have a large collection of cds, you can rip them to your iTunes library.

I remember seeing commercials where runners would put their ipods into an armband thing and it would connect to wired earbuds. I always wondered if it actually worked...

As a staunch wired earbuds hater, it was revolutionary when the wireless ones became available. I'm never going back; I'm impressed you even tried! 😬

[ElijahCiali]

Are we living the same life? I just switched out my phone with a 5th gen nano to great success. It's always a great conversation starters at concerts too to record on the iPod

[pvndavibes]

I think what you’re describing that you want is a cellular Apple Watch. I have the SE2 and it’s amazing. It’s nice when I want to disconnect just leave my phone at home and I have everything I need with the watch. Can listen to music with Bluetooth and all the other stuff you want!

You need to look at hiby m300, its a DAP (digital audio player) made by hiby. Its an android mp3 player or DAP but the thing is it has small screen and using it daily gives me all the creature comfort while not distracting me. Just need an extra small power bank if you use it too much. Also its very cheap at 170, have a look at it if you can, you probably will like it

You deserve so much more attention with this kind of quality 🙌🙌
