Reviews around player (4.61 of 5)

  • have a remote adapter so that we consumers aren't stuck with a useless mp3 player when the original headphones die- have trusted brands
  • All in all, an excellent player and good value - definitely much easier and more comfortable for my runs and workouts than strapping my Nano onto my arm!
  • :I guess not being able to drag/drop individual songs into the Shuffle can be a pain, but for my needs, this player is perfect.
  • For $50 this is well worth considering if you are looking for a beautiful and streamlined player.
  • this a solid device/player if you are a workout fanatic!!

Reviews around price (4.40 of 5)

  • After some thought and use, I thought of some cons.$50 for 2gb is not a great price compared to other mp3 players.2gb might be limiting to you
  • The battery life is also very good, and the price is very affordable at around $50.You can also organize your separate playlists from itunes on your shuffle, which is a great feature
  • All in all, if you really want an iPod, but don't want to have to pay Apple's insane prices, go with this one
  • It is compact, easy to use, excellent quality sound, portable and the best, its price.
  • this is a Really portable device and is great for running, going to the gym or just for listening your music it also has a great price for an apple product

Reviews around quality (4.30 of 5)

  • Overall, I recommend this device for its convenient size, simplicty and amazing sound, barring a few minor annoyances with the clip and hit or miss assembly quality.
  • They don't stay in your ears if you're doing any sort of activity and the audio quality is not great, it's pretty much a given that you're going to upgrade them to something better.
  • Apple FAIL.Music Quality is horrible when used with my 300 dollar Shure earbud
  • I could be mistaken, but so far, the audio quality sounds worse than my 1st and 2nd gen shuffle
  • Just sound quality is good, but battery backup is worse than 3rd generation

Reviews around battery life (4.28 of 5)

  • Battery life is 6-8 hours before it begins to die, not bad at all, but it can easily drain in as little as only 1 hr if the volume is cranked.
  • The battery life is great(I get about 12 hours while 15 is advertised - I never trust advertised battery life) and it holds plenty of songs
  • The battery life is good too, considering the iPod is so small
  • The storage isn't great (still good for about 250 songs), but the battery life is pretty
  • The battery life is pretty good, and it is simple to set up and use.

Reviews around feature (4.26 of 5)

  • A nice feature when you have a lot of lint lying around and don't want to vacuum up your mp3 player by mistake
  • Good product, but annoying feature.
  • Autofill, practically the best feature, and perfect for any/every iPod, is very hard to get going
  • you have no new feature,s unless you count the button itself on top a feature
  • It has a nice feature that plays an audio voice of the song and artist, but sometimes it can be a little fast.

Reviews around music (4.13 of 5)

  • This forces users to use apple headset only devices which means you can listen to crappy music through
  • This is a neat way to carry your favorite music on a trip
  • SupportIf you're looking for a music player that works for the gym, this is your guy.
  • I purchased this so I could listen to soft music at work and during workouts.

Reviews around product (3.90 of 5)

  • All in all I really love this product, and am very satisfied.
  • It is a good product, and even a step up from the 3rd generation
  • Huge Apple fan, but this is the worst electronic product I have ever purchased.
  • As mentioned in other reviews this product becomes erratic and eventually fails anytime you start sweating.
  • Although Apple Support has been stellar, the product just doesn't work.

  • Ipod and headphones have gone through the washing machine and drier, still work.

Reviews around clip (3.39 of 5)

  • Other than that and the clip being hard to use because there is no "pinch
  • I was surprised that the clip was strong enough that it did not fall off during the entire run
  • The clip on feature is also great even when working out vigorously.
  • If you're 5 hours into an 8 hour audio book, you may accidentally click the rewind button and return to the start of the book (quite easy to do--especially trying to pinch the clip on the tiny device).
  • My only issue with the device is the little clip that binds it to clothing.

Reviews around thing (3.05 of 5)

  • The only negative/positive thing i found would have to be the size
  • controls.one bad thing would be that if the head phones break then it would be hard to use other headphones.i personally dont use this ipod for excersice (dont need to) but i dont think that it stops working with sweat.so that is all i personally have had this product for 1 day and i like it
  • Apparently the fact that when I work out, I tend to break a heavy sweat has killed these things faster then the Ebola virus.
  • Another impressive thing is that the shuffle can really crank out some volume to your headphones
  • The thing worked fine until about 2 months after I bought it.

Reviews around sweat (2.18 of 5)

  • Now I can break a sweat and rock to some tunes
  • Guys just be beware of where to put it when you are planning to go for a run as the sweat can sneak through the buttons of this IPOD and can damage it.otherwise no complaint
  • Flexible Earhook Headphone (White)s, which I find comfortable and which, crucially, have a short cord that won't hang down for me to trip over if the Shuffle is clipped somewhere on my shirt

Reviews around finger (2.09 of 5)

  • My fat fingers have a problem clipping it on my cloths without accidentally hitting the buttons (
  • And the issue about the clip and hitting the buttons; I have large fingers and operate the device fine.
  • I loved my shuffle 2g
  • It's 2G (with a 4 G model available)
  • Second, in the much more likely event that my clumsy fingers fumble and drop it, its not heavy enough to fall out of the headphone jack (or even pull the buds out of my ears) so as long as your taller than your headphone cord, it wont even hit the ground

Reviews around design flaw (2.08 of 5)

  • Again, if your hands are shaking like jello from physical exertion or from the cold and the Shuffle is having a hard time determining exactly what you want to do, that's not a design flaw
  • Regardless of the reason, this a huge design flaw (I never had this problem with the 1st or 2nd gen Shufle or 2nd gen Nano)
  • Flexible Earhook Headphone (White)s, which I find comfortable and which, crucially, have a short cord that won't hang down for me to trip over if the Shuffle is clipped somewhere on my shirt
  • Unfortunately, there is still a minor, annoying design flaw
  • I love the 4th generation shuffle for its spartan quality but the main design flaw is that when you try to re-clip you end up pushing the buttons

Reviews around headphone (2.02 of 5)

  • The headphones, however, are utterly worthless and fall out of my ears after no more than four minutes of any type of exercise, whether Cardio or Strength Training.
  • Been runover by automobiles; headphones dead but the ipod still worked
  • If the new shuffle can stand up to top flight headphones and full CD resolution files that is a good sign for more casual listening.
  • Furthermore, with buttons back on the device itself, feel free to use your favorite earbuds or headphones.
