What I liked about the iPod shuffle: The color and description given were accurate. It came with all the essentials like the iPod charger, head phones and of course the iPod. What I didn't like about the iPod shuffle: I know the merchandise was used, however, the item came a bit dirty. I am okay with some of the scratches but the head phones had some gunk on it. I ended up purchasing a new pair of ear phones. Why did I decide to buy the iPod shuffle: wanted something small and had a clip on it so I can use it when I went running. It is small and the clip is very sturdy. I am pleased with my purchase considering it was used.
I started going to the gym and I had a 2nd gen Ipod Nano. I felt like the shuffle would be a better fit and I think I was right since I don't have to progress/next to another song if the song sucks. I had an 8GB nano by the way, and so since I got the 1GB shuffle, I have very few songs but all good songs that I never need to change. I wish the clip was stronger, it looks like it can come off by little force. And I also wish that you could use a regular ipod charger so I could charge it from a wall outlet. Anyways, great little ipod but of course kind of expensive for a 1GB MP3 player because it's from Apple.
This is an excellent product. You have to sign up to I TUNES. It has plenty of storage for my music. I know there is no screen but that is what makes it so great. It is very durable. I have dropped my ipod a couple of times and it takes a licken and keeps on playing. Of course I have a little protector on it. I'm sure if it had a screen on it, it would of broke. It is very compact and very light weight. After a while when you learn the positions of the play/volume buttons, you don't even have to look at it. I have had my ipod in my shirt pocket while I was doing some work and I can change the music and use the volume without even taking out the ipod from my shirt.
I bought this Apple iPod Shuffle for a Christmas gift for my son. It's what he asked for and I'd rather start him on something small and less expensive to start with. My only concern is that it could get lost very easily. I love the color. I like how it's compatible with iTunes. I wish it had a menu screen, but if I wanted that I would have gone with the more expensive and bigger iPod.
The 1gb IPOD shuffle is a great player. It sounds pretty good with Apple's earbuds, with no need to eq. The bass and treble is also decent, and it's capable of playing loud. The unit's compact, it clips securely to any clothing, the controls are user friendly, and stores about 220 songs. Also, when fully charged, you should average about 10 hours of playing time. You can only download and sync MP3's thru I-Tunes software. But the software is free and it's a fairly simple process. (just highlight and drag your songs to player's menu) Of course when syncing, you have to use a proprietary USB cord or cradle. Now keep in mind, the Shuffle's sync cord is different than a standard USB. The part that plugs into the computer is standard USB, but the part that plugs into the player is the same plug as the earbuds. Although, I presently own a Samsung T9, a 1gb nano, and a 4gb Ipod Touch; I really like the shuffle better. It's hard to beat the quality of Apple products. I highly recommend this player.Read full review
