||||||||||||||
iPod shuffle is jaw-droppingly small and enormously colorful in black, silver, pink, blue, and green. And even more brilliant, the VoiceOver feature tells you what song is playing and who's performing it. It can even tell you the names of your playlists, giving you a new way to navigate your music with the controls located on the earphone cord. Clip a 2 GB or 4 GB iPod shuffle to your sleeve, running shorts, or backpack and take up to 1,000 songs wherever you go.

Great Portable iPod, but could use better headphones |

| When I first got the new ipod shuffle, I knew about the problems that some were having with exercising and sweat causing the ipod to malfunction, so I also bought the Belkin Headphone Adapter to go with the ipod. Using it with the adapter, I have had no problems and the player works wonderfully. I love the size and the fact that this ipod can be clipped onto your shirt and you can't feel it there, even if you're running (as I do). The Playlist feature is the best thing about this player and what makes it better than the last generation Shuffle. I have multiple playlists on my new Shuffle and it works flawlessly.
I gave this Shuffle 5 stars because I love the function and the portability of this generation Shuffle, HOWEVER, you MUST purchase the Belkin Headphone Adapter if you want to use this shuffle with any headphones, which may cause some to rate this shuffle lower. Without the Belkin Adapter, I would give this Shuffle 2 stars simply because the Apple headphones are complete junk and don't work while exercising. So buy both, even though it's a little more expensive. Also, I know there are other MP3 players out there that offer more functions at a lower price, but I love itunes and having all my music tied to one player (itunes), instead of spread across multiple players on my computer. All my music is tied to itunes, therefore, I'll be using Apple iPod products.Belkin Headphone Adapter with Remote for iPod Shuffle |

| I understand some of the criticisms of the new iPod shuffle, I just don't agree with them. I guess the new design is a love it or hate it thing. I love it. I've never had a problem with the controls on the headphone cord, in fact I think it's a really great feature. It's the first mp3 player I've ever owned that I could really control without looking at it, so even though the computer voice makes some silly mistakes, I like it too. The sound quality is great, it looks great, the size is right. Everything about this is perfect. I understand the complaint that people who want to use their own headphones have a problem with the controls on the cord. When it first came out there weren't many accessories for it, so you had to use Apple's headphones which aren't great. But it's been out for a while and other manufacturer's have come out with compatible headphones and adapters so it's really not an issue anymore. The idea behind this version of the shuffle is that it's small, easy to use, and affordable. It's all those things, and if that's what you're looking for, you should get one. |
Washer SAFE!!!! |

| I have read several reviews stating that it is not good for sports and that it is a bad product, but let me tell you, this item is awesome...
after going to the gym and of course getting it all sweaty, i kept mine in my sweatshirt and UPS!!! it went to the washer all and all including headphones, well after finding it at the bottom of the washer (of course when finishing all the cycle) I drained all the water and allowed it to dry for the night, then connected it to charge and IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!! so despite all I have read, my personal experience is that at least it is waterproof!! |
Perfect companion for the gym |

| I've been waiting for a small shuffle to take to the gym. Finally Apple has come out with the perfect sized shuffle. Yes, it's tiny and the headphones are expensive to replace, but it's perfect when you use it while running or lifting weights. It's not bulky and you can clip it to the sleeve of your shirt using the built in clip. It's literally the size of a big paperclip and weighs about the same. I like that it doesn't have video capability, because really who needs that? That also helps keep it small and lightweight. I travel a lot for work and it has great battery life. It lasted on my 6 hour flight with constant use and didn't die on me. |
VERY high quality with JUNK headphones. |

| Apple needs to IMMEDIATELY stop shipping the crap headphones they've been making for this unit; they have killed its reputation. If they shipped it with their standard crap headphones and an Apple version of the Belkin inline controller, they'd have a winner on their hands.
I got it intending to throw the headphones immediately into the trash. I use an aftermarket inline volume control with a very inexpensive pair of JVC 'air cushion' earbuds. Apple should study the JVC design. These headphones with this iPod are a podcaster's dream. I love talk radio, and podcasting is the only way to listen. I listen while exercising and doing yard work/household chores. This little wonder has no problems at all with sweat when using the aftermarket adapter, because now the volume and play controls are down next to the unit itself instead of hanging from your ear. Once the headset's deficiency is overcome, this minimalist setup is totally sweet. So if you're looking for the perfect exercise iPod, this is it--but you MUST purchase one of the aftermarket inline play controls and plug your favorite headset into that. You will get better sound and no malfunctions. And the sound is really good. The Shuffle has always been one of the better-sounding MP3 players out there. No change with this generation. On the rare occasion when I use this to play music, I'm struck by the great sound coming out of this little wonder. Remember the cassette Walkman players we used to think were the shizznits? Adjusted for inflation, the street price of this little thing is about a quarter of the old cassette Sony Walkman (including the cost of the adapter), with many times the music capacity of a tape, sound that blows it away, and a size that is just astounding. I don't see how it can get any smaller except by doing away with the clip. I like the clip, but I wouldn't mind having a little tiny 'iPod pocket' in my jacket that is just big enough for the Shuffle without a clip. Doesn't hurt that the Shuffle is also, hands down, the best-looking iPod ever made. I've owned them all, and currently use the iPhone 3g and the Classic (only the Classic can hold my whole music collection). Design-wise, next to the Shuffle both of those hot products are mutts. But you need a screen for video and large-library management. My Shuffle came free when I subscribed to Dish Network. I must admit that my Classic never leaves the dock at the stereo system anymore. This little baby goes everywhere with me, and I don't even listen to podcasts on my iPhone anymore. The Shuffle saves my phone's battery for mobile web apps and communication. Plus it sounds better than the iPhone, and its battery life is astounding. DO NOT HESITATE to buy this as long as you're planning to drop the headphones directly into the trash receptacle where they belong. If minimalist design and maximum portability are high priorities, you will love this thing. |
