Now for the qucik pros and consPros:1)Its smaller than most flash based players, about the size of a pack of juciy fruit2)Comes with a cool lanyard3)Hold switch is pressing the Play/Pause button for 3 seconds, no annoying switch to slide4)You can either shuffle or play your music in a playlist5)Great sound quality with the included earbuds

GREAT SOUND QUALITY (Other flash based players that I've used didn't cut it with certain songs.

i purchased an ipod shuffle for less than one month, thinking of good quality i dont mind paying more, but to my surprise apple product starts to deteriotate in quality

Great sound quality, considering there is no

Despite the fact that the Shuffle lacks an EQ, the sound quality is superb

okay, my only complaint is...sound quality

The Shuffle is a great product not only because it is a great music player (the sound quality is fantastic), but because it greatly reduces the mobile price point for users of the best music service around - iTunes.

The sound quality is superb and powerful

Bottom line: If your not looking to run a disco and just want something with some excellent sound quality to it while you are at the gym, walking to class, etc

If you have all your audio files in mp3, then iTunes will convert them to aac, but you lose audio quality that way (not an option for me).

I've liked it, has good sound quality, very easy to operate and especially easy to fill it up with music.

All in all, it's fabulous - great sound quality!

these last forever and the sound quality is outstanding (especially the bud-style ones); you will really get the most out of your ipod if you switch headsets

The quality of the music is absolutely superb

The iPod's earphones deliver great quality, and with extra ear mufflers, I could choose whether I wanted to put them on or not, and if I lost a pair, there is still another pair waiting in my box

Shuffle's sound quality is great; I wouldn't expect anything less from Apple.)5

Sound quality is decent too and it is quite easy to charge and transfer/update tunes on the go.

If I did want FM away from my home or car, I'd get a better quality receiver than the small one on a flash MP3 or AAC player

lets hope both offer better quality in the durability department.. because Apples is very nice... just very fragile.. and I'm not doing anything but carrying it around in my pocket playing music on it, and autofiling it...fragile indeed

The sound quality is wonderful

I use standard usb, and it takes about 15 min to upload 1GB.The ipod itself is great.+ : Practical, cool, very very light, no unnecessery cables, fine sound quality.- : None

The headphones they give you with it are flimsy and fall out of your ear easy (sound quality is just ok with them as well)

I used the shuffle for a while and I can tell you, the sound quality is pretty good.

I would seriously recommend getting another version of an iPod, because the sound quality and the playback is excellent, but the shuffle itself is not the best they have to offer.

However, good things come in small packages and the sound quality is just plain awesome

Headphones:------------The signature white earbud headphones deliver a sharp sound quality

I liked the Excellent Sound Quality, Ease of Use and No Battery requirement

The device pumps out some pretty good sound quality at a volume much higher than my previous MP3 device (Palm Zire 71)

Its small size and simplicity packs excellent audio quality and has a reasonable battery life to size ratio

The supplied earbuds are very very good, but like most portables you can obviously get better sound quality if you upgrade to a more expensive set of headphones

The sound quality is good

This is a sturdy, well-designed music player with great sound quality, intuitive controls, huge

Sound quality is fine

It's small (about the size of a thick stick of gum), it has great quality, and it look super-cool

The sound quality is surprisingly good for a portable device

Excellent build quality and full

The build quality is robust, although you might wish to buy one of the sport cases or skins to protect it from scratches

Sound quality is excellent

The Apple Shuffle is a very simplistic, well thought out and great sounding device

Remember it is very small (I was surprised how small it is even though I looked at the pictures of it) and plugs into a USB port to load or change music as well as for charging up (no changing batteries, unless they wear out, and then a dealer would have to change them.)

The sound is just as good as from the iPod Shuffle's bigger brother

And the sound quality is just as good as on a bigger iPod

With a Nano, by contrast, a case is, by all accounts, a necessity if you want to avoid scratches that spoil the look and, moreover, reduce the functionality of the tiny screen (which is a pity because a case hides the Nano's good looks and adds to its size).I use the Shuffle for audiobooks and podcasts as well as for music

The only positive I see with using iTunes is that its interface is nice, and it runs fast.

I LOVE my i-POD!!!
