One of the first iPods I tried using when It was new (back in the white iPod days). It was a great device for it's simplicity, and the built in USB was a nice feature. However, I went with an Ipod Classic (video) at the time mainly because of large storage and a screen for play-lists. I just recently re-purchased a shuffle for my car, it's simple to just snap in some songs quickly from my work iTunes and pop it in my car for some quick jams. Here is the best part about the 1st gen shuffle, which is why I took it over the latest Shuffle was mainly the built in USB and the fact that a 10 dollar iPod getting stolen or misplaced is not going to hurt like losing my brand new 4th gen iPod Touch or my Classic would. The sound quality is also comparable to my iPod classic, as the new iPods have a more degrading sound quality since. The cons is mainly the very low capacity, but for my intentions it is great for some quick music and losing it would not really matter. My grading Pros -Great sound quality for an iPod, expecially with the dismal sound quality from the current iPod family. -Age does not really matter in this case, the battery can easily be replaced and the built in USB is a no-brainer for on the go nuts like myself. Cons -No Clip on like the newest shuffles -No Playlisting and voice over. -No screen. -If you don't like iTunes, the competition for a latest shuffle is overkill. Just look at Sandisk's players. If you want the latest new shuffle just for the design, do yourself a favor and get something with A LOT more features and night and day sound quality. Getting iPods is mainly for the established iTunes library.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The iPod shuffle is an amazing device, if you are comparing it to a portable DVD player or the original Sony Walkman that started the whole portable music revolution. The shuffle is slim, sexy and slips easily into a pocket or purse. These features, coupled with it being an Apple product that is selling for half the cost of the original iPod, has made it an impulse buy for many people. For those who take the time to do a detailed comparison with other digital music / MP3 players, the Shuffle starts to look a little anemic and less of a value. The Pros (Positives) + It Sounds Great! The original iPod as well as the iPod Mini have gotten bad marks for low-end (base) output. The shuffle makes even the lower-end earbuds it comes with sound super. Higher end earphones sound fabulous! + The four-way rocker plus pause/play switch on the front is convenient and simple to operate. The same can be said for the two position power switch and battery-check button on the rear. + The Shuffles .08 Ounce weight and lipstick-on-steroids size make it extremely easy to take with you. + Because the iPod Shuffle IS an Apple, technical and 3rd-party product support is strong. Cons (Negatives) - No Display! No Display! No Display! Can you tell I think this is extremely important? Without a display and no way to select individual songs or play lists or even tell the status of your battery at a glance, the Shuffle is crippled in comparison to even some of the $39.95 memory-stick players on the market. - Low Comparable Value. There are a large number of similarly-sized players available, with additional features like A Display, FM Radio, WMA and open MP3 support, for as little as $49.95. To view a list of eBay auctions for 512M players that fit this description, use the following path and search criteria: Buy Consumer Electronics MP3 Players & Accessories Search for 'mp3 player 512' - Proprietary Software / Format(s). The Shuffle comes with a customized version if iTunes that locks you into the iTunes site for music downloads. Although iTunes has a lot to offer, I would rather have an MP3 player that was WMA (Windows Media Audio) compliant. The WMA standard is supported by many Online Music Vendors, as well as an increasing number of audio blog sources. If you’re a Mac user don't think you need a Mac MP3 player! Many other MP3 players support BOTH Macs and PCs. - Limited Color Choices. 'OK,' I admit it's not that big a deal. Still, with other vendors I can choose to give my girl/girlfriend/wife her favorite hot pink color MP3 player, give other people yellow, green, blue, etc. and get myself the sleek black color I prefer. The iPod Shuffle demonstrates that affordable and useful personal electronics can come in a small and attractive package. For me, the Apple name is not enough to justify spending more for fewer features!Vollständige Rezension lesen
I got an iPod Shuffle as a present and have totally loved it. There are few companies that can provide unique product design combined with ease of use and functionality. Sound quality on the Shuffle is great, and comes with a comfortable set of headphones which provide decent sound quality. The Shuffle is very durable, extremely light, and there are a huge array of accessories from holders to arm band thingies. So what's not to like? Well... despite as cool as it looks, functionality wise it's pretty limited. I recently bought my wife a Sandisc player because it had some features the Shuffle doesn't. Namely: - Display - Microphone/Record - More capacity - Replaceable Battery When your Shuffle's battery eventually dies you have to mail it to Apple to have it fixed, which is inconvenient. The other thing about iPod's in general is that the iPod format isn't the most optimal for space; other devices that are Windows Media based can hold more songs. But all in all, not bad. The Shuffle is more than just a player, but is also a fashion piece.Vollständige Rezension lesen
My brother had been trying to get an iPod Shuffle for months so pick one up (512 Mb version) from the Pasadena Apple store for $99. What is iPod Shuffle? The Apple iPod Shuffle is a small MP3 player that has no screen of any kind and stores songs in the MP3, AAC, protected AAC (from iTunes store) or WAV format in the internal flash memory. The iPod Shuffle is available in 512-MB and 1-GB flavors. Pros Looks cool, tiny, easy to use, good sound, inexpensive, no skipping, battery life Cons iTunes deletes songs in Shuffle if they are not in the Library, flat main switch The Bottom Line The cons are small and the pros are in the important areas of performance. I highly recommend the iPod Shuffle. Just don't expect too much. Overall, the iPod Shuffle is a very intriguing offer, especially at the entry price of just $99. But as always, you get what you pay for – and you end up paying for a device that holds 120 songs, doesn’t have an LCD, doesn’t have an AM/FM tuner, can’t record anything and costs more than similar players from rival companies. Some key accessories are sold separately and at a steep price. Unless you want a companion for your workouts that is the pinnacle of sleekness, I’d stay away from this one. I’m confident that the 20 GB iPod would be a better choice for most people.Vollständige Rezension lesen
When the iPod Shuffle arrived, it was Apple’s response to the wave of flash MP3 players taking a share of the market – the iPod of course was a bigger success than anyone could have imagined, but it was still too large and bulky for the active user (someone wanting to take it on a jog, use it while spinning, etc). The Shuffle was supposed to be Apple’s claim on this segment of the market – light, portable and durable MP3 players that value portability over functionality. The trouble however is that the Shuffle compromises too much on functionality – personally, I don’t get very excited about an MP3 player: 1) without an LCD screen 2) without playlist capability 3) that requires the use of a rope around your neck 4) an armband (essential) for athletic use costs an extra ~$30 This doesn’t bother many people – and if it doesn’t bother you, than the Shuffle is a great choice. Personally, I think the design of the Shuffle is super cool and typical Apple. However, in terms of portable flash players, my prefence is the Rio Forge series and there are lines of plenty of other alternatives. All cost less and, in my opinion, are better values. While my clear preference for these kind of MP3 players is not the Shuffle – I can’t help but leave positive reviews for its sleek, different and sexy design – which certainly is enough of a selling point for many consumers. My advice – think about what features and functions you want in an MP3 player before buying.Vollständige Rezension lesen
