Doesn't hurt that the Shuffle is also, hands down, the best-looking iPod ever made

This iPod, a replacement for a beautifully designed earlier version of the Shuffle, seems inferior in almost every way.

No Ipod I have previously owned has been this bad.

I bought this iShuffle to replace it, and to avoid carrying around a more expensive iPod (which I was told by an Apple rep should not be used for running, because that's how the big ones break)

I'm not an apple hater, I loved my 2nd generation ipod shuffle (which when it died i nearly punched a whole in my wall), and my classic ipod has been great as well.

The ipod works

This IPod is not sealed well enough.

so I could have a small and portable iPod for the gym without worrying about arm band cases, or damage to the larger, pricier, and more fragile iPod classic

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

I have been a loyal ipod shuffle use for years and bought the new style to replace the 2nd-generation version that I had simply worn out

Type "Apple 3G iPod Shuffle Headphone Problems" into Google.

We have the classic ipod, 2nd generation ipod shuffle, and iphone - all excellent products.

I had an older iPod shuffle which I loved, so I thought it would be good to get a newer one and with higher storaging capacity

This ipod works great, unless you are going to exercise with it and plan to use the headphones that come with the ipod

Ugly and uncomfortable iPod earbuds which wouldn't be so bad if you could replace them
