iPod Nano 7th Generation

Hi there

Looking for a new iPod Nano to replace my 10 year old Nano which has just bitten the dust.

Mostly advertised for ~$218, but wondering whether anyone has any cheaper options?

Thanks

  • has any cheaper options?

    Cheaper options as in, NOT an iPod nano?

    there are loads of cheap alternatives, mainly Sansa Clip+ and Clip Jam players which do a decent job of playing music without breaking the bank. They can store 4 to 8GB internally but you can stick in a MicroSD card for more storage.

    If you're willing to explore a bit of unknown territory, some chinese brands are now producing some high-end lossless music players that support hi-def audio.

    • can you actually buy the sansa clip series in australia? I had to buy my Clip Zip from Amazon a few years ago when the AUD was above parity. I'd imagine shipping now to be pretty expensive.

        There are only available from Amazon nowadays. A few years back there used to be a ebay UK seller who sells the Clip Pluses for around $45 AUD, but they were refurbed units (probably unreliable).

        I have not seen any aussie retailer stock Sansa players anymore. Nothing shows up on Static Ice.

        A little sad since they get great reviews, plus they're cheap.

        edit: this store seems to stock some, but they're probably imported stock.

        • Wow I can't believe that store sells the Jams for $80. That's ludicrous pricing! I remember buying my clip zip for 30 bucks.

    • At that kind of price, wouldn't you be better off going for Fiio M3?
      It's $80 and they are a reasonable brand in DAP market so I'd assume it'd be at least half decent.

    If you have a 1st generation Nano Apple has recalled them all and will replace it with a new Nano free of charge. I got a silver one.

    Identifying an iPod nano (1st gen):
    It has a black or white plastic front and a silver metal back - later iPod nano models have a metal front and back.
