Apple iPod (5th Generation): Unboxing 

A retro unboxing just 8 years after it was released... And here I am, having bought one 19 years after release.

I recently bought an 5th generation iPod Classic. Man, It's like a dream come true. I've always wanted to bought one and now I did.

Back when life was simple

2019, goin to buy it

I remember saving up for almost a year to buy a ipod video 80gb and the leather carry case, still have this and still working

I just bought a 5th gen ipod classic. Currently, I own everything Apple that's recent, and the iPhone is fine and great at playing music on the go anywhere I want. But the iPod had something special. It gave you that real connection to music, of ownership. On my iPhone I have access to everything ever made, but on the iPod I have to actually curate what I own and what I want. It's a different experience that you have to have.

Well after 10 years, I'm getting my iPod 5th generation.Always loved it😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Just bought one of these and it should be coming in a couple of days. I’ve been wanting a classic iPod for a couple of months now and I heard that the 5th generation was the best one, so I picked it up. Super excited! Only $40.

One of the better ipod unboxing videos out there. Thanks for uploading.

I love your videos! I don't know why or how, but once I watch one of your videos, I want to watch more. Again love your videos!

Back when it was exciting to see what Apple was going to do next with the iPod!!!! I got the 30gb for Christmas 2005!! I was the bomb, for a few months!! 😂

the way you called this "retro" back in 2010 and i am coming from 2021 😭😭

I remember downloading videos on this thing and thought it was the coolest thing ever...

Man I remember my iPod 5th gen(my first iPod). I still have it to this day though it just collects dust after upgrading over the years :P. Nice vid.

Still have this iPod in black. The battery life is still decent and the hard drive hasn't failed yet and I still use it occasionally.

Very, very good condition! Congrats, and great video!

This the most beautiful model they ever made 🤧 literally the only apple product I like

You do great and informative reviews!!

Nevermind, lol. After 5 Minutes I Knew:) Thanks For The Great Reviews:) Didnt Know You Where Gonna Show Them All Like That!

just got the exact same one at a swapmeet! although the screen doesn't seem to turn off? it only goes dim and i was wondering if it's suppose to be like that or is there a way to shut the whole screen while the music plays?

I still use my iPod nano 7th gen for when I run laps. Looking at this makes me miss my first gen iPod Nano

Wow, I have seen this for many years and now is the time that I get so intrigued by the iPod Classic. I'll pick a black one up soon.

These were soo cool back in the day :)

My first iPod =) loved it. still works really well, despite the fact that i got it only a few weeks after it first came out.

I love this iPod. I’m trying to convince everyone this is a worthwhile birthday gift for me 😉😉

can this be connected to normal stereo system with big speakers..will it produce sound properly?

This is one of apples best iPods I got it when it first came out and still use it now

I absolutely cannot get over him calling it retro in the beginning, this was posted 4/5 years after this beauty came out, that’s like calling and iPhone X retro now (2022)

5th gen did have remote control support, but in a really awkward way. You'd buy the official Apple "iPod Radio Remote', which plugged into the dock connector. you'd then plug in your headphones in the Radio Remote (so the iPod's headphone connector would go unused). The iPod Radio Remote looked like a second generation iPod Shuffle with wires coming out of it. The control scheme was the same too. In addition, plugging in that remote unlocked the radio feature of the 5th gen iPod, allowing you to listen to FM radio broadcasts, but only with Apple ear phones plugged in (as they had a dedicated antenna wired incorporated into them that other headphone lacked).

I have one of these, only I updated it and it says to plug it into a wall socket to finish the update, however when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. Just the same image of a plug and a wall socket but nothing happens. What do I do?

You have a beautiful collection! I am a Click Wheel lover. The bests iPod I had were the Click Wheel ones (5th gen., 1st gen nano and 5th gen. nano). I also had a 1st gen. Shuffle, and two 1st. gen touch. Now a days I lost all of them :( hahaha In my opinion the Click Wheel is part of iPod identity and there's no better control for it. I hope Apple don't discontinue it!

@DetroitBORG can you connect the iPod classic on any game console with a USB cord?

thank you for show all the ipod classic

Nice to see some local Michigan RU-vidrs. We're located near Flint.

i want to buy a ipod classic now at 2018 what should i do now

Just a quick note that not every 5th generation has a search feature. That was added on the 2006 models which people call a 5.5 gen

Best iPod! I like plastic front and metal back

i’m going to miss these days

I bought a 60gb white iPod video this week and I fucking love it. These are the best kind of iPods to have

I have the same question as 12rens. Are you going to collect the two u2 iPods? You know the older one with the monochrome screen and the other with video?

Can yot have a review for the latest ipod classic,, I 'm thinking to buy it,, thank,,

OMG! When I was in Detroit, I found one on CraigsList and it was still new, not opened, in the sealed box! I wanted to get it but it was just too much! $250 ... Anyways! I love your video and not only this one but your other ones also! And you have so many ipods! WOW! I love your video! OMG! Please make more videos! They are so awesome!

i still have my 80g 5th generation that i FOUND laying in the street back in 2007. It was brand new the date stamped on it was 2007. It did freeze on me one time and i came here on youtube and found out how to fix the problem. So that's 5 years running with no problems. Just ordered new ipod touch 5th gen 64g.

@BlondishTony you were provided with a plug to charge it at an electrical outlet, my sister had one..

I love the old school thick iPods

This is the best iPod in my opinion, as it has a wolfson dac. Many of the new ones have a cirrus,c

Ive got the 8gb nano and wanted a little more capacity so i just ordered the 30gb 5th gen ipod classic off amazon... Cant wait!!

I just found my moms old ipod 5th gen u2 band special edition now idk where to find the charger and old headphones it’s a bummer it won’t work with airpods

Can the iphone 4 charger work?

Anyone know if the 5th gen has the exact same sizes/dimensions as the 8th gen? Need to know because I'm getting an Invisible Shield and the 5th gen shield is much cheaper.

I’m going to buy one of these because I want to see what it was like to have a iPod… I hope it goes well

Gah this ipod is so gorgeous. I recently shot for the 160gb classic which is quite similar but I will always appreciate the "video" design

@DetroitBORG I have a question, is the 7th gen really a 7th gen? People say it is because of the memory expansion (120 to 160 GB), but I figured you may know...

its 2022 now and i am still looking where to purchase these classic ipods with the click wheels (which was genius) these ipods are incomparable to the new MP3 players that have come out. it was all steve jobs. i wish apple did not discontinue these. i dont want to carry my heavy iphone 13 when doing my morning walk and listen to music.

Just picked up a new one on ebay for $80. Made a great deal by buying another one of a sellers items(:

Waren die kratzer schon auf dem gerät drauf wo du ihn neu ausgepackt hast?

I have the same exact model with pirates of Caribbean pic too. It's an 80 gb model though.

Hey Detroit can you due a 160 gig iPod classic compared with 120 gig

Nice! Did the 5th gen. come in a 80GB model?

Was just given one yesterday that was water damaged I took it apart cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and it works just need to order new casing for cosmetics and a battery

The ipod 5th gen is still a very Capable music player, I have had mine since 2006/07 and it works perfectly. all its needed was a battery replacement

Dno why they put headphone slot on top

does it have bluetooth

does this ipod work with mbp 2018? couldnt sync music with itunes, instead windows pc worked flawless

this is my first ipod Still one of the best ipods eva!

I’m nearly sure this model is the 5.5 generation as I had the 5th and it didn’t have the search function.

This was my first apple device, but I lost it somewhere in my godforsaken bathroom -_-

Your voice reminds me Charlie Sheen at the beginning lol Nice video!

@TheAvery86 no it was a plug to charge at an electrical outlet, my sister has one.

@ZuoYilin menual? You mean menu?

@BlondishTony you used a standard FireWire cable

If your primary use is music, it's great! They go for $60 used on ebay. I topped out the memory on my phone with music so that's why I bought one

I just got one of these from the opshop for $20, just need to replace the battery as it is cooked.

2020, just bought one of these (the 80gb enhanced one)

just bought one

Mine is 5.5, 80GB Black ... still working like magic iPod+External HDD

nice vid are you also gonna buy the u2 ipod?

My first apple device was this iPod :)

do a review of the ipod photo

best sounding ipod ever

that's the 5.5 best ipod ever

Wow, around 2007 I got a black one and it hit the floor two months after I bought it lol

this one looks better than the new ones :)

@pieman99901 haha, i love that game! do you know if they have it on the ipod nano 4G?

I wish that kind of screen lock is still made until this day Apple devices. Lots more cool!!

Is There Anyway To Tell What Gen I Have? I Mean, If You Buy A Ipod Used And The Person That Sold It Dont Know, Is There Anyway To Find Out? Its A Black Plastic Front, 60G, And Plays Video. Anyone Know?

Why do old iPods always get scratches!?!?! I'm t happens to me.

i just purchased an ipod video 5th gen this ipod on ebay Australia and i was lucky enogut to get it fully brand new.right now i'm also biding on an ipod touch 1st gen brand new and it is even sealed with clear plastic.

These iPods have the greatest sound quality - quite sort after.

2020 bought 5.5th Gen the best of all iPods

I have the 7th gen iPod classic space gray or gray with black click wheel

@abs2fast2furios I find it weird. especially on like the ipad As the iPad is big and the headphone is at the top you loose a fair bit of 'movement room because of it'

iPods ARE awesome!

it would be nice if u make a tutorial about how to replace an ipod battery... maybe i can save my old ipod :)

Hi could you please tell me if this has Bluetooth connection Thanks Paul

The Ipod 5.5 had the best sound quality and it came with video out on head phone jack.

como lo puedo poner en español

@DetroitBORG i also found an black 80gb 6th gen fully sealed.ipod video 5th gen 80gb fully sealed and right now best of all biding on an Ipod Mini 2nd gen fully sealed in clear plastic.

How much did you pay for it or did he give it to you?

WHEN HAVE YOU BOUGHT IT ??? WHICH YEAR???‼
