Review

We liked the original iPod mini for its superior ergonomics, easily readable screen, jazzy colors, and good music performance. Audiophiles have complained, however, that the mini just doesn't have a whole lot of kick at the low end, and our subsequent testing confirmed that. Apple doesn't talk about its players' audio performance, and the company is running true to form here. They've improved the mini's bass performance, but would never say so for fear of tarnishing the reputation of the earlier product.
