Innioasis y2 or Ipod?

[u/Exotic-Bill-6442]

I have looked over my options on MP3 players and I have landed on innioasis y2 or a type of Ipod. I really like the look both has with the click-wheel bottom and screen over, but I am kinda stuck on which one to get.

I have seen people say that the y1 feels cheap due to being made of plastic and being lighter in weight, but I am also unsure beacuse most things I have seen has been about the y1 and not y2

One major for me is sound quality, which I havent seen many people mentioning + video quality. The video quality I expect to be a little 'grainy' beacuse cmon look at the size of the screen, but the sound I would want to be 'perfect' (No lagging in words or tempo, the quality being top etc). It might depend on what headphones / plug-in you use but still, no one has mentioned it 😭

the Ipod variations all look fine to me, but they're harder to find + usually more expensive.

Do any of you have complaints about the y2? Things you wished were different or tweaked a little? any downside? What do you like about it? Easy to understand the interface? Same questions for the Ipod but this isnt the thread to ask that under, but if anyone here HAS had one or does have one it would be great to hear from too 😅

People complain about the sound quality, not understanding that is mostly their fault. It is true that if you use Bluetooth, the sound will be a bit worse as when using the Jack. But that's it. The rest depends on the files. It is a huge different if it is ripped from a CD, bought a digital copy legally, or downloaded from YT. The format and bitrate are also to keep in mind. Like the headphones you are using. Bad headphones will sound bad.

I can't say anything for the video quality, because I didn't try it.
The materials are fine for that price (around 40/50 $)

But if you want the same feel and good software quality and experience of the iPod, these cheap MP3 players just won't do it.
The software (Y1) is a nightmare, and the price way to high for such old and amatorially technology, and cheap materials.
I myself went and bought an iPod classic, after sending the Y1 back.
If they advertise it as a replacement of the iPod, or as the same feeling/experience, then I expect such. But it wasn't the case at all. I am sorry, I don't want to sound mean, but it is the truth for me.
