This nifty little iPod shuffle is magnificent to say the least. This iPod has a very generous battery life (~15hrs), is very small and compact, and has a few new added features taken from the previous Generation iPod Shuffle, while keeping the design of the second Generation iPod Shuffle. The only reason why this iPod gets a 4/5 overall is because it should have kept the design EXACTLY like the second Generation iPod Shuffle; the problem with the new design is that when the user is trying to apply the clip onto some piece of apparel, he/she is likely to hit a button whilst using the clip; this creates a fear that overtime, it may wear out the button's durability. Overall, great item, no regrets.
Outside of the following issue, this iPod is excellent. Had I known it was so easy to operate and hold all the songs I truly love in such a small package, I would have purchased one earlier. Issue: According to the instructions, I should be able to press the VOICE OVER BUTTON once to hear the current song being played; this feature does not work. What can be done about this? Can I simply get a replacement and send the defective one back? Please advise. Otherwise I love it. Thank you
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
excellent value for your money! controls very small sometimes i need to look and make sure i'm using correct one... smaller than i thought! needs repeat control!!battery life is great. i work 8 hours a day and listen to it on my way to work and on my way home (20min.each way),and still mow lawn when i get home and then i charge it!!! but the shuffle is great the sound with ear buds are just awesome~~~~hear every word and blocks out noise...i have to have mine on low because loud speaker at work is difficult enough to hear without ear buds so,,,i listen to it low at times but have had it on very load at times and it still sounds so good..===so this all equals yes great value great sound great everything...other than the small controls but i still love it!!
I purchased this item because I had lost my first Ipod, one that I used in my car as well on my bike. I was used to being able to select playlists, etc. This one, though having the same amount of storage capacity, doesn't allow me to view my selections as before. I've adjusted to that and am enjoying this device though I miss the option to select my favorites for play. It's size makes it oftentimes easier to carry on bike rides and though I can't view a selection I have the voiceover feature which somewhat compensates. I do sometimes fear losing it because it's so small!
Last Christmas my niece purchased one of these for my mother who was 86. It was my job to sort it out and load it with music for her. I was so impressed with what I was working with that I purchased one for myself this spring and have been enjoying it ever since. This compact 2GB music system has one in/out, an on/off switch and the famous apple control dial. Pros-compact, easy to use after your read what everything does, no batteries to replace. Great fidelity, ingenious compact design. Cons-Must have an I-Tunes account to sync and load music onto it. Will accept your CD's but you need to rip them into your I-Tunes library (must be in proper apple proprietary format). Sync cord is about an inch long. If you need longer you must buy one. Overall-A brilliant product but would be better if more compatible with other mp3 formats other than AAC. I do not agree with E-Bays star rating system that classifies anything under 5 stars as bad or failure. 3 and 4 star products are good but not perfect. I gave this product a 4 star rating because it is proprietary. It has performed brilliantly and done everything it said it would, and everything I needed it to do as an MP3 player. The problem is that I am a PC user and don't like that my 1000 + CD collection has to be reripped or converted for I-Tunes to load any of the songs onto this device.Read full review
