Its popularity spurred an entire industry of accessories almost overnight.

With storage options ranging from 512MB to 80GB, capacity depends on the model and song compression rate. Designed to deliver top-tier sound, its 60 MW amplifier ensures loud audio, and its frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz offers distortion-free sound even at low pitches.
