Trust me, the 7th gen nano is where it’s at 👌🏼 you still get radio, have Bluetooth, and better charging with the lightning cable
Yeah for these days it's the better one, it's the newest that came out from the Nano line, you lose the built in speaker & microphone and the video camera but you get lightning port and bluetooth
I like the 5th gen iPod with the classic (6/7th) faceplate. I carry around wired headphones so it’s no big deal.
@@NebulaHatesWatchdog wait can you put a 6th/7th gen faceplate on a 5th gen? I searched but was unable to find documentation either way
@@TamaraGirodie Yep, it’s pretty easy. You can either buy a classic midframe and transplant the board over, or if you’re creative you can use the 5th gen midframe even though the screws don’t line up.
I will buy iPod nano 7th Gen in Pink because i also have a sealed boxed iPhone 7 in Pink as well and these 2 devices will look like Bride and groom ..💕 But i am very sad that Nano 7 do not support Airpods Pro 2 . 💔
wireless headphones:
"ok lets listen to some tunes"
*stutter
*audio delay
*cut out

"that was great"
+ it's a real life subscription service, because most of the time you can't replace the batteries, so you are forced to buy new headphones every few years.
Cable-bound headphones stay good if you tread them good
I don't think any decent modern pair of bluetooth audio accessories have these issues, sure you have to charge them but it only takes an hour at max.
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
everyone switching to dumbphones
making smart phone dumb
bro is switching to an ipod
I recently switched to a nice flipphone, my phone plan is much cheaper too because I dont need a high end subscription. Great decision
7:24 If you’re looking for a similar form factor with Bluetooth you could try the 7th gen Nano
Yeah I have one and it’s awesome
It also has a fitness app
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.
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
I believe there is a mode you can use in the iPhone, I'm not certain since I have android. It's something like a simple mode, elderly and technically challenged people in mind.
I think there's a mode which is parental controls or something like that. You could block the apps and features you didn't want using that.@@brookedoyal78
It already exists.... just delete all your social media profiles and that's it. I've done it two years ago and I haven't regretted it one bit :)
I switched back to my iPod classic...I like owning my music.
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.
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
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
i remember my friend filming me asking a librarian for a book on how to read on a 5th gen ipod nano.
For your need of using something small and with Bluetooth to listen to music. Use a smartwatch! I use the Galaxy Watch + Galaxy Buds combo. I have Spotify premium which allows me to download music offline. I use to also carry my phone while running, but only using my watch is a game changer.
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.
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! 😬
ive been collecting ipods for a bit & whenever i listened to music in the car, i preferred using an ipod bc i wanted to have physical buttons to change songs.
Plus i didnt have a headphone adapter
You can get a cheap Bluetooth transmitter that plugs directly into the dock port for like $10-$20 (probably weighted towards the former)
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
be careful with socks on stairs!
The filming and editing are on point. Congrats on the work!
Thank you!
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.
The iPod Classic 7th generation is a solid choice if you're looking for a device with substantial storage and a familiar click wheel interface. It typically offers 160GB of storage, which should be ample for music, movies, and TV episodes. The battery life is around 36 hours for music playback and 6 hours for video playback. It has a 2.5-inch color display, good for browsing music and watching videos. The click wheel interface is intuitive and easy to use. Given the budget, consider second-hand or refurbished options.
I mostly use mine in the car. It’s still got all my favorite songs from when I first got it and it’s literally like nostalgia anytime I use it. I also keep headphones in my bag and occasionally if my AirPods are dead or I have no cell service (I don’t have any songs saved for offline) it’s nice to always have my nano and some earbuds in my backpack. The camera is horrible though and I never use it, although I did when I was a kid. I thought having that camera on me at all times was the coolest thing ever.
I have the same iPod nano (have had it since back in the day!). I whipped it out recently to see what the experience was like and I kinda loved the nostalgia of it. It was like opening a time capsule. But the downfall of it was the battery life is awful and charging it constantly got old FAST lol. I could def see it as a fun little escape from the web of algorithms we now somehow dwell in. And I looooove how light it is. I miss light, tiny tech. Excellent video 👏🏼
When I ordered mine I made sure to get one with a replacement 3rd party battery for that exact reason. It turns out there's still a community of people keeping these things afloat.
@@JoshWiniarski2 smart! I might pick up a used 7th gen since it has bluetooth. I agree with your points about how annoying wired headphones are. They're fine for desk/sitting on our asses use, but as soon as I move around, the cable gets snagged on EVERYTHING lol
I have an old Touch 4gen, its great, same features as the Classic and Nano, but touch-keyboard included and also Bluetooth connection, Wifi music Sync
i still have mine! i have the yellow. i remember feeling so cool with that camera and i made a good amount of youtube videos on my old channel with just that ipod. still works i havent got the battery bloat issue yet.
I think the best option at that point is to find an iPod Touch 7th gen. You can get them in higher storage sizes, have retina screens, cameras that are somewhat tolerable, internet access, bluetooth, and you can just not download any applications or connect it to anything that will give you notifications. They aren't as small and light as nanos, but very light in comparison to any modern smartphone
also, anything prior to the 6th gen nano's are basically bombs now since there wasn't enough space inside for the batteries to swell... so now that the chemical makeup of the batteries is deteriorating and starting to expand, they become spicy combustable pillows...
You could get it replaced the moment you get it, ik that its almost impossible to get a spicy pillow out of a ipod nano 2/4/5 gen shell
Clearly you haven’t seen my video about how a pocket notebook can replace your phone…… jk 😂😂
Oh I've got to get into notebooks at some point!
You should've gotten the 7th gen ipod nano or the get a bluetooth adapter that plugs in the headphone jack and allows bluetooth connectivity that way.
You deserve so much more attention with this kind of quality 🙌🙌
Thank you 🙂
Great video! I've been thinking of using my old iPod touch for this. I think it'd be a cool idea but this video made me maybe reconsider lol
7th gen nano my guy... battery replacements suck but i've done several without issues (it has bluetooth and lightning!)
I’m pretty much trying to do the same accept I’m using my 80gb classic
"WELL IM NOT PARALYZED BUT I SEEM TO BE STRUCK BY YOU"
I use a 6th Gen classic I bought off a neighbor, I can only afford the lower storage end of refurb flagships, rocking a 128GB S22, I needed something to offload my music to and being a huge fan of Dankpods I just went for it, don't regret it for a moment
i have tried a lot of things but lately i just turn on airplane mode, and keep my playlists and songs downloaded/
Which seller on ebay is a trusted seller some of these cats look sketchy! Lol
I usually just go off of positive seller ratings/feedback. But it's eBay so you never know.
okay, yeah you seriously would love the ipod nano 7th gen my guy. i know a good place to buy them if you want (i know a seller on ebay that sells them with new batteries)
Dudeee I did the exact same thing for a week! but instead of the iPod Nano 5th gen I chose the 7th gen because it has the lightning port and Bluetooth, doesn't have camera or speaker though sadly, it's a trade off but for me it was worth it because I could use AirPods with it and lightning cables.
Noo don't get an iPod nano. Replace that battery asap if you dont want the note 7 happening
Thankfully, a lot of the ones on eBay (including the one I bought) have already had the batteries swapped with new 3rd party ones 😉
The Apple Watch is pretty much what you were describing in your running segment, mute all notifications and you got yourself a wrist iPod with the latest Bluetooth technology. It has all the music apps and podcast apps.
''all the cool kids had ipod nano's''
wow america is so strange.
That’s why I got cheaper knockoff mp3 player from Amazon, it has Bluetooth, usb-c and without the limitations of ITunes. I love using it when I’m studying or relaxing.
you can get an ipod 5th gen and mod it with blue tooth
Damn. Good joke
It appeared the first comment
I replaced the battery of my ipod nano 1st 4gb and it's very pleasant to use.
Did you think about buying a unihertz jelly star :)?? mini mini smartphone
so what kind of device in this form factor also offers bluetooth in order to use it with wireless buds?
iPod nano 7th gen
DID YOU JUST SAY COOL KIDS TO ME? I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT AGAIN
every mp3 player was so much better.
how on earth do bad and ugly things actually become popular ?
you can put bluetooth on it whit those bluetooth phone plugs for old devices
Get a first gen iphone se for under $100. It has a great camera, speakers, headphone jack, large screen, bluetooth, wifi and plenty of room for local storage.
Ja biegam z Apple Watch i nie zabieram telefonu. Polecam.
You could get one of those 30 pin bluetooth adapters if thats the only problem and you dont want to change the ipod with a 7th gen nano
Beware the nano battery bloats after a while and it's difficult to repair to not say imposible.
Polish surname 😮. greetings from Poland:)
👋
if you can get sucked into instagram there's something seriously wrong with you.
You could get a ipod classic and a plugin Bluetooth adapter. You can mod it for more storage, and the battery won’t expand and push out the display and make a fire hazard
you are basically looking for an Apple Watch - there, problem solved
McLovin always ruins stuff
Honestly
I just swap between two ipod minis and my 6th gen classic. If one dies I use the other mini. The classic if mainly for vehicle use. Definitely better than using my phone.
Sony Walkman digital media player
7:25 so basically the iPod Nano 7th gen :)
Just watch out for THE BLACK SPOT™
Found Kirby 🎉
Thanks for testing what came to my mind lately. Seeing this, I likely won’t do this 😂
banger video
What about a smartwatch with offline Spotify and some Bluetooth earbuds?
Or the mighty Spotify music player?
I just use my phone, I don't have any friends so I don't get tons of messages. If I did have friends I could always turn on do not disturb mode to ignore notifications.
you should try the original iphone
Replace a multifunctional device with a single use one?? Why???
Disable notifications on the phone and go with a smaller phone.
apple watch does the job for me but not having a camera ruins it
The Apple watch is the better ipod
Next time try to replace your phone with a fridge
Why don't you get a modern MP3 player instead?
Apple still sells the 30 pin at the stores btw
Good to know, thanks!
Just mod Bluetooth onto it
its atleast it isnt touch
Ipod touch 7
😃
you need iems instead
Use IEM
This feels like a typical gen-z thing. Kids that grew up with all tech don’t appreciate it. I am an old millennial who to this day still really appreciates everything we have now. A smartphone is amazing and i never want to go without it anymore.
this is such a millennial thing to say bro
@@stpr16 i know bro. Doesn’t make it less true.
Get iPod touch
Apple is dedicated to earn via iTunes badly since its existence that is why they didn't gave appstore in Nanos to download any music streaming apps like Spotify etc and strategically kept Nanos solely dependent on either iTunes paid content or other free sideloaded content ! ( I wish Nanos could have spotify or any other music streaming app as they saves our storage )😭 Another thing that breaks heart about Nanos is that some of them do have BT functionality but are unable to connect with the Airpod pros 💔 ( Man ..... This could be an outstanding breakthrough in Nanos portabilty and overall efficiency ). Maybe they can support some other Chinese BT earphones .... who knows ? 🤔 I personally will buy Nano 7 in Pink😍 as i have a sealed boxed iPhone 7 in Pink as well and its an unknown fact that Apple made Nano 7 Pink and iPhone7 Pink for Each other as they both have exactly the same Pink colours and together they look like Bride and groom whose Match was made in Garden of Cupertino ! 💖💖🥰💯
