Barbie “Hits 2 Go” Karaoke Boombox Customer Review: Does NOT work with iPod Nano
Here it says, right on the box, “Works with iPod Nano.” No, it does not. The tight-fitting iPod sleeve is incompatible with the latest generation of Nanos. It came with no A/C adapter (batteries are required). It does not charge the iPod – the sleeve simply channels older generation iPods so that the headphone jack is plugged in. Very deceptive and false advertising. Very disappointed.
Customer Review: not meant for younger children
I bought this product for my daughter’s 4th birthday not realizing that it came with 2 cartridiges that only played partial songs. It did not specify that it only worked with a 1 or 2 GB 1st generation iPod Nano when I purchased it. It also plays without the cartridges and the only thing the cartidges do is makes it so only certain songs play, but it’s only less than a minute of the actual song. Although both my daughters ages 4 and 5 enjoy singing with it… after a while of the same songs playing over and over again it gets quite annoying, and although I recognize most of the songs the kids did not…they are very old songs most of them and they are not kids songs. And iPod nano’s are so expensive compared to other mp3 players I wouldn’t recommend it especially for children too young to understand that they are highly breakable and expensive. And it will not work properly without the ipod nano. This toy was not meant for young children. And the seller should specify that in order to get the most out of this toy you must have an ipod nano, instread of letting the customer figure it out on their own. Unless you have a 12 year old that is willing to sport around a barbie toy and likes kelly clarkson and leann rimes do not buy this toy and do not buy it unless you are willing to spend another $65-$100 for a 1 GB iPod nano that a 4 and 5 year old would break within a few days.
