Customer Reviews

excellent machine provided all you want is music
At the time of writing this review there are 68 others already on here, but I thought I would tell you of my own experience with the ipod shuffle.

I go the gym and used to have a MP3 player - just a basic "memory stick" type that I plugged into my computer to recharge and I could drag & drop songs onto. Unfortunately it died so it was time to look for a new one. Now I was undecided whether to buy a basic model by a less well known company, or go for a leading name. It seems to me that if you're prepared to go for a relatively unknown manufacturer you can get a basic mp3 player for half the price with twice the memory, but eventually after much deliberation I plumped for the apple ipod shuffle, swayed by a combination of the reputation of apple & (hopefully) a better build quality.

I have had it just over a week now and I think I have made the right decision.

Yes, there is no screen, but I knew that when I bought it. I know from my prior experience at the gym that I just tend to switch it on and let it play so I didn't really need one. Also, I have a mobile phone that takes pictures, plays videos, games etc and I hardly use any of those features so I figured I wouldn't need a screen to watch tiny videos on. The earphones are great - several reviwers say they fall out but I've used mine on the treadmill, rower, cross trainer, exercise bike and wave machine and they've stayed in throughout! I've got about 14 hours out of it before I had to recharge which is impressive, and although initially I missed the simplicity of the "drag & drop" method of my old mp3 player, its just a question of getting used to itunes and once you have it seems simple enough.

All in all, an excellent purchase and having never had any previous experience of apple or ipods I am very pleased with my purchase.

Workout buddy
I have had the IPod Shuffle 2nd generation for nearly a year now and I cant fault it at all. The battery life is great, once a month I charge the shuffle and thats me working out approx 4 times a week. I have read comments concerning the clip on the shuffle but Ive never experienced any problems, fair enough if you clip it hanging on your clothes it will fall off when your running but thats easily resolved by clipping it the other way ie onto the waistband of your shorts

The sound is perfectly fine, size is ideal, to me this is the perfect workout mp3 player, holds enough songs and yes fair enough you cant see what song is coming on and you cant go to a song easily however it is a shuffle and not designed for playlists etc, thats what the Ipod Nano's are designed for.

If your wanting a mp3 for the gym to me this is perfect.

Wow
Just received one of these little babies for my birthday. Its just wonderful, sound quality is amazing, quality of product excellent, easy to use and just about the best mp3 player I have owned.

After half an hour and for me thats fast had downloaded all my songs clipped her neatly into place and was pounding the streets.

Would recommend to anyone, for the price well worth a look at.
