I have an ipod shuffle for a couple of weeks and I must admit that is a great music player, the sound quality is pretty good for such a small device. Also the battery lifetime is very good (12 hours).The Ipod Shuffle it`s quite easy to use, you just copy your music on it using itunes and you`re ready to go. what I don`t like is that it doesn`t have a display, you can`t "fav" songs, you can`t make playlists. but, it`s okay, the lack of all these features is balanced by the small size and great lifetime for the battery. It`s a great when you go out for a short walk or joking you just copy an album or two on it and you`re ready to go. 1GB is more than enough for Ipod shuffle. you just don`t need more. I wouldn`t recommend for long and boring travels. Because it has no display and this makes it very hard to play a specific song you like or, skip to another album.Read full review
I saw a friend with one and became intrigued. After buying and setting up my iPod Shuffle, I was convinced that many folks out there would love one. This is a really nice music player for an affordable price. Has 1GB memory which can hold up to 240 mp3 songs (180 more practically). Good Quality sound (with included ear phones) and very simple to use (big plus). Plug and Play setup on your computer and, with free available software on the internet, you can manage your music without iTunes. It comes with a usb docking station/charger, but you can also purchase (separately) an inexpensive wall charger (great for those not near a computer). Battery life is reported at approximately 12 hours with a full charge (approximately 4 hrs via usb). The Shuffle is very small (about 1 inch by 1 1/4 inch) with a built in clip. Tunes can be played in order or shuffled. The only drawback to this music player is that you cannot select individual songs to play but, for many, that's no big deal. All in all, makes a really nice gift or personal player (especially for working out). You'll love the colors!Read full review
I recently bought a iPod shuffle. After owning a regular 80GB iPod, I doubtful that it could compare to it, however, I was proven wrong. I paid 40.00 USD with free shipping. But you can obtain them for 30-35 range if you put in the time and effort. I liked the fact that it was very small and has the built-in clip. On the normal iPod, you have to buy armbands if you wanna take it running or exercising. And of course, you can skip tracks if you want to. The only draw is no video but you know when you buy a shuffle and its offset by the dramatic price difference. In my opinion, the shuffle is an exercise aid, those people who like to keep things interesting with the Autofill feature, and who are happy to listening to anything randomly.
The 1st Gen Shuffle is just awkward. An oversized thumb drive. Ugly really. The 3rd Gen Shuffle is sweet, if your into secret box type gadgets. It flopped because voice over control only was a learning curve not many people could even begin to tackle. The 4th Gen Shuffle improved on the Voice Control feature by bringing back the "click-wheel" but unfortunately in the ever expanding desire to go smaller, Apple failed with a design that is hard to "clip" on without pressing the "click-wheel". Same design flaw carries over the the waterproof version. That's what makes the 2nd Gen the best. Easy load of playlist(s) from iTunes. Manual control "click-wheel" without the hocus pocus of "Voice Control" and size and design that works perfect with the "clip" feature and "Click-wheel" in unison. Unlike another review mistakenly asserted, this Shuffle does have a power slider to turn the Shuffle off and preserve battery. The dock is not cumbersome, it is brilliant. Like the most impressive Apple docks, it is built specifically to hold, display, sync and charge the Shuffle without having to toss it randomly somewhere to get scratched up, marred, buried, smashed or lost in some way. Further, if you are into Apple color on devices, this 2nd Generation Shuffle offers the most options. Gold, Silver, Dark Red, Light Red, Pink, Orange, Green, Light Green, Blue, Light Blue, Purple (not official color names, but you get the idea). Lastly, this is also one of the Shuffles that Apple specifically fashioned recovery software for. When iTunes fails to recognize it, often the software can. I've picked up a few of these for pennies, claimed to be "dead", only to recover them and use them extensively. I grab playlists for on-the-go by color of Ipod. Its fast, easy and down right sexy. Displayed together, it's a formidable army of perfect fashionable Apple icons carrying a remarkable amount of music. Paired with vintage "Monster" or new Apple "Beats" headphone (I recommend Studio), you won't believe the awesome sound definition, deep base and full body tone this tiny gadget can provide.Read full review

Never sure when buying something used. I really needed to replace my old one which died after years of hard use. The product itself can't be beat. This used version was ok...still was loaded with somebody's gajillion tunes! I hit the reset button and was good to go, although it doesn't hold a charge as long as it would have if it were new. Also... you'd need a very specific charger, lucky i still had my old one. But, great price for a hard to find item!

Love the size, weight and sound. Sound quality is exceptional--hard to believe you can get that sound quality from a device that only weighs a few ounces using earbuds. I have others and this one does not seem to take or old a battery charge quite as long as my others but it has been on the shelf quite awhile since it is 2nd gen even though it is "new in box"

My new iPod shuffle 1G, 2nd generation is perfect for my needs. I am a runner and having anything heavy and bulky is a distraction. The shuffle is a cinch to operate the volume and track selection; however, there isn't a screen to see the title and artist of the song like other iPod models. Your play list can be set-up to shuffle or play songs in order. The shuffle charges from a Dock to your laptop by using the USB port. You can see when your shuffle is fully charged by the small light next to the on/off button. Setting up your shuffle to iTunes is not complicated and takes only minutes. The shuffle is simple, so if you want all the "bells and whistles", this may not be the iPod for you. One negative point about the shuffle, they do not handle moisture or rain too well. I had 2 of the first generation, and I just purchased my 2nd, second generation. I cannot remember the exact lifespan of each shuffle, but the 2nd generation seems to be a bit more durable. My 1st, second generation iPod just died out when I was caught in a torrential downpour when running. I forgot I had it clipped to my shirt and the water ran into the earbud port. I had that one since December 2006, three and a half years old. I like the 2nd generation over the 3rd generation because of the volume control. I like to use different earbuds and the 3rd generation does not allow the user to do so because the volume control is on the earbud cord. A company by the name of Klipsch is to make earbuds with an embedded control chip, like the Apple has designed for the 3rd generation, for around $100. Belkin has also made an adapter with volume control. For me, the "simple" is starting to diminish with all the extras. I like the 3rd generation design, but not the functions. With all of that being said, I love the 2nd generation and I am thankful eBay sellers still have them available. If you want something lightweight and easy to use, the iPod shuffle is for you!Read full review
My daughter saved up and was able to find this iPod at a great price! It's a perfect size for her needs and seems durable. The ear buds that came with it are not working properly, but she is still happy with her purchase :)

This is the shuffle for me. The controls are on the device and not on the earphones (apple ear phones never fit my ears anyway). I can use whatever headphones I want and still enjoy hours and hours of music. The charging station is a bit cumbersome but that is a small inconvenience compared with the headphone issue. This is my second iPod of this generation and I tried others. I will stick with this one, thank you very much. Small, adaptable, effective.

After years of buying boom boxes so that I could have music on the job, I finally got a clue and bought a Shuffle. Being a construction contractor, the boxes didn't last very long. Transport was the biggest problem. With limited space in my truck, they often ended up with the tools in the back. Of course, they often took a beating on the work site, too. My music partner had a shuffle so he could bring me stuff to listen to when he had an idea for a direction for us to go towards. Finally, it struck me that , with one of these little thingys, I could have more than a days worth of tunes without having to make space in my truck, and was only as likely to get damaged as my collarbone (I clip it to my shirt collar). The biggest surprise was the clarity of sound. Never being much of an audiophile, I never really got much of a chance to hear such a wide spectrum of sound as I do with this and a pair of earbuds. Its like hearing things for the first time. Teamed up with some noise-cancelling earbuds, I can now hear things in the music I missed all along while actually protecting my ears from the sound of saws and whatnot that are a part of my regular day. One of the biggest problems I had at work was not being able to follow spoken word- an interview or book being read. No problem at all now. I mean, seriously, this little device is changing my world. The down sides- we always want more. It would be great to have a weeks worth of listening on here. And it's kinda cool to pick through iTunes to find what i'll listen to that day. So that's a new routine. Earbuds can be troublesome, but that's certainly not a limitation of the Shuffle itself. The ear buds can also being problematic when a client comes in while I'm working and I don't hear them right away, but again, not really the shuffle's issue. Not being able to see what's playing is a bit of a problem as my tendency is to put stuff on here that's newest to me, stuff I'm not so familiar with, and that's something I do, buy a lot of new music. So I still might not know who I'm even listening to often. But really, these are all MINOR issues. As I said, this device is changing my world.Read full review
