I just bought a new iPod 160GB (my iPod 120GB crashed).  After syncing my music from iTunes on the new iPod, the music doesn't nearly as good as on the other iPod

I just bought a new 160GB after my 120GB crashed.  After syncing my new iPod with my music in iTunes, I'm noticing the music isn't as clear or bassy as it was on my old iPod.  The EQ is off on the new one just as it was on the old iPod so that isn't the issue.  Anyone have any ideas why I'm having this problem?

Are you comparing it off earphones, iPod issued earplugs or Hifi Stereo deck?
The new 160GB iPod Classic, have been reported to have poorer audio quality than earlier 5th Gen models. Even using EQ Bass booster make it much worse, but not too sure about your 120GB model,
My thoughts - it was due to the Audio chip replacement, but then your 120GB Audio chip would be about the same as the 160GB 6th Gen, but maybe the firmware 1.1.2 codec handling was better. Your 160GB firmware would be 2.0.4
But some people has full of praise for the new 160GB, saying his music sound 'heavenly',

so it depends on the genre of music you like, but some people are happy by just switching from low to high impedance headphones or vice versa.
Have a nice day!
