Well if you are looking forward to buy a small, light and easy to use mp3 player that you can carry and store anywhere. This is the one for you. Its battery life is good due to the fact that there is no display, which you will sometimes feel it is "missing" if you are used to using other mp3 players with bigger storage capacities... but that is the twist of this product, it is NOT a "mobile MP3 centre" that you can carry around packed with several songs for all moods and moments and also forget. It's a mp3 player that you will find perfect for commuting & for physical activities. The new feature (VoiceOver) works very well, all if you enable it!! I took some time on the web and forums to find that out. One of the main features (the easy to use remote on the cord) is also its weak link... because if a speaker blows or the remote breaks, you need to buy a new one, in addition to that, there are no accessories available (up to now) so if you like the nice in-ear buds, they wont work... well they will work, but you won't be abele to control your shuffle. Having all this in mind, and using it for the purposes mentioned above, you will love this tiny player. If you want a mp3 player to use as your portable mp3 library, hook up to speakers and things like that, go for the ipod Classic or the older video which is good worth for money.Read full review
I really like this iPod, the only things are, wished it said if battery was fully charged, or had some indication when to charge it. either an led that shows it green constantly when fully charged or something else. I left it charge over night when i first got it and itwas still blinking orange, ill check it again tonight to make sure. I am not sure if it dose now, stay green. The next thing is, i had to purchase a line control adapter to use another set of head sets. I have the Monster in ear beats by Dre, and it sounds awesome and MUCH better than the standard iPod set. The control adapter i bought actually looks like a case, & acts like a case, for the small shuffle, and makes it just a little bigger, but who cares? Not me, its small enough as it is! I plan on buying another set of the beats by Dre for the nano 5th gen i have and maybe another one just for the iPod touch I want also, why do i need all these gadgets? iPods are just a really great product. The industry has just embrased the iPod, i even am looking for an alarm clock with the iPod controller or dock built in. The last thing is that, the edges on the clip on the shuffle are too sharp. They should be a little smoother, it can scratch things pretty easy and even cut you. Other than that, its a great device, works very well, and easy to use, so far I haven't used it to full battery capacity, but the amount of times that i have used it, is really easy to see that it can play for a while, a good while.Read full review
im loving the ipod shuffle mainly because its great for exercise. I can just clip it on wherever i need it and do any anything from running, pushups, pullups, and numerous others without ever having to do too much to change songs or playlists the controls are right next to your face: However! the headphone control are a great strong point and weak point. after a good amount of exercise like anyone i begin to sweat and when it hits the controls they are DONE for the night! the ipod will start switching playlists on me, pausing and playing and stops receiving commands from the clicker all together, and one must also consider the selection of headphones that you may choose from for the ipod...the ones it came with. lastly if you plan on grabbing this product, i strongly suggest at the same time investing on adapter controls. jboogieradio out!Read full review
The size is incredibly small with a lot of space for many songs. The feature of being able to play different play lists is excellent and voice over technology is useful. However there are no control on the ipod itself which is a downside. You have to use the controls on the cable which means you can't use any other headphones with it. It would be nice to have controls on the ipod as well as the cable. I am sure apple will fix that in the next model. Meanwhile I am excited about this one and getting used to the controls and play list option. Overall good product.
The iPod shuffle is a great little item, however the headphones (Apple proprietary ones) are the only way to control the volume, choose the songs, pause, etc. Unfortunately the headphone controls are VERY fragile and susceptible to moisture. So if you are wearing them during a workout and sweat, the controls can become non-functioning. My headphones worked for 2 workouts, then died. I went to an Apple store and they replaced the headphones. I have seen blogs recommending wrapping the controls in Saran Wrap to keep them dry and so far that has worked. The iPod itself is also susceptible to moisture, so wear it so that the headphone jack stays pointed away from the flow of sweat or better yet, wrap it in Saran wrap as well.
