I am wondering if the various versions of the iPods produce better /
worse sound. From what I can tell, they all use the same head phones.
So, I could use the same head phone on a Full blown iPod and also on
the iPod Nano or Shuffle. If I were to play the same songs from the 2
different players with the same head phone, would I expect to
experience a difference in sound quality.

Thoughts / comments??

Given the same quality of files and the same headphones/buds, etc. it is
very doubtful that you would hear any difference between the three
players. Do you have a store nearby where you can do such a comparison?

Given the above, I would heartily suggest that you go for the 30g or 80g
iPod rather than the Nano or the Shuffle. You get MUCH more storage
space for the dollar with the larger models, and the Shuffle has the big
disadvantage of no screen or clickwheel to select what music you want to
listen to. It's called a "Shuffle" for a reason! ;-)

Have fun!

See my reference to Stereophile or Absolute Sound article in earlier post.
One of the iPods is supposed to sound better.
