I have personally found the zune 80 to not be very pleasant to the ear. a lack of bass and an increase in treble made it painful to listen to after a short time period.
my friend had a 5g ipod which he allowed me to try out, and it sounded just perfect. the bass was good, the treble was fine, and the eq wasn't activated. i switched it to bass booster and the bass was almost on par with my creative card. not to push the zune away, because it is a great player, but without an equalizer the sound just isn't there for me. as shrooms mentioned, the extra features such as the radio are un-necessary. no one really listens to the radio these days since the reception is poor and the music is re-runs from 4 minutes ago.
the zune hd won't likely be a practical improvement, as it will probably lack an equalizer like its predecessor. even with hd radio and all of those features, it would still leave much to be desired in terms of sq. this is just my general preference, but be aware that i'm a bit of a basshead. you will probably quite enjoy the zune if it suits your needs.
i am considering buying a 6.5g ipod classic, but I have read that it uses a different sound chip than the 5g. can anyone inform me on how the 6.5g compares to the 5g, in terms of bass and treble?
