Product ReviewsApple iPod shuffle 3rd Generation Silver (4 GB)

The 3rd Generation (4 GB) iPod Shuffle is a timeless alien artifact

This is a 1,000 songs in a seamless capsule. I always thought this shuffle was the best iPod for exercise. I just bought another one as new/old stock, unopened. The controls on the tiny bar on the headset is still one of the great, subtle ergonomic thrills, allowing you to adjust the volume or advance the song. Mine is silver; when I hold it in my hand, it's like a gift from an advanced alien culture, something found in an old coat of Captain Kirk's. Music is the best way to communicate on Earth and everywhere else. This is for a space traveler who wants a weightless iPod made to become nearly invisible, a simple digital sound robot with no touch screen or glass to worry about. This is an elegant piece of genius. The engraved, white Apple logo on the steel clip give me chills now that Steve Jobs is gone. I carry the pride of having been loyal to Apple and Mac since the beginning. The 3rd Generation iPod Shuffle found a little place in my heart, like R2D2. A thousand songs of my choosing in a tiny, airtight fingertip, stored on a solid state hard drive with no moving parts that looks like GORT from The Day the Earth Stood Still laid it on you. I'm going to keep buying these until they run out. 2 GB isn't enough: 4 is just right.Read full review...

Love it! Glad I bought it

It is small and compact, will clip on my shirt or jacket, and will hold quite a bit of music!
I had purchased the 1 gig ipod and I saw this one. I am so happy I purchased it-I would buy more just to put my whole music library on it. I can just clip it on my jacket, take off on my bike and have music for days!
Highly recommend this item to people who do not want to play with all the buttons-ie. like when you are riding a bike. The remote on the ear buds makes it easy to skip a song when you want without having to look at a screen to see what you are doing. I just put it on shuffle and am on my way.
Would buy again!Read full review...

Apple iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation 4GB MP3 Player

I like the extra small size, which makes carrying around the MP3 player very easy even though it can carry a large number of itunes. The Voice over feature is also very unique and nice to have. I decided to purchase it so as to complement my Mac computer and make downloading music easier.Read full review...

Great and easy to use!

I really love the Ipod shuffle 3rd generation- if you just want music to listen to and don't like to spend time finding this or that song, this is a great device. It is super lightweight and small and music transfers easily from your computer using the iTunes software. You can create playlists if you want a specific collection. I love it.Read full review...

Swing and a Miss from Apple

I don't really know what I was expecting with this purchase, but Apple really dropped the ball on this one. If you don't like the supplied headphones, you have to buy an adapter that will allow you to use other headphones, but still retain the incredibly poorly designed inline remote. Even if you do like the supplied earphones, running/working out with them is nearly impossible. The remote hangs at a height that will hit you in the neck / chin while running or otherwise working out. As an added bonus, the added weight of the remote on one side of the earbuds will pull that earbud from your ear.... There's a reason the previous generation iPod shuffle sells for more than this generation. I cannot recommend the 3rd Gen shuffle.Read full review...

High Tech for an older person

I bought this Apple iPod shuffle to use for myself, because I work by myself and using a radio of cd player has to be moved from room to room. I love the shuffle, it's so small yet it holds up to 1000 songs. The sound is wonderful, it sounds better than some radios I have used. All the controls are in the ear buds and they are quite comfortable. The shuffle clips on your shirt or pocket and will not fall off. There isn't anything I don't like about this product-I think it's great. I highly recommend this product.Read full review...

4GB - Super small - Get the Scosche adapter to bypass the wire controls.

The selling point was that the 3rd gen shuffle has 4GB of storage; from the best of my knowledge, Apple does not and have not made a shuffle with 4GB anymore. The main complaint is that all the controls are on the earphone wire, but "Scosche" sells an adapter for the 3rd gen shuffle to bypass that inconvenience, you can then use any earphones; while having the actual controls on the shuffle. You would need this adapter to use the 3rd gen shuffle with any external speaker, any regular set of earphones or in a car. The adapter is approximately $20 and well worth it. 4GB is the selling point and the Scosche adapter corrects the common complaint with all the controls on the wire. $40 for the shuffle + $20 for the adapter. By far the smartest and most cost effective Ipod shuffle configuration to purchase.Read full review...

Love my shuffle!

I love the size and ease of use. It's so portable. The shuffle is perfect for listening to music on the motorcycle or bike. Clip holds it nicely/securely in place while riding. I purchased the shuffle specifically for this purpose. I have a nano too and love it as well but the size and portability of this product is really unique. Nothing can touch the sound quality of an iPod in my opinion.Read full review...
