When id did work the battery life was less than an hour.

: I haven't done a direct comparison (since all my iPod shuffles are dead now) but I would expect the Agptek to have poorer battery life due to the always-on LED

It plays music as needed, the battery life is good, and the radio works really well.

The battery life seems great so far, one charge and have used it for at least 8 hours probably more

I use it for long runs and the battery life is great.
