This thing is incredible, and I love it. The sound quality is great and it is especially good for running and exercise, because it clips onto any piece of clothing. This is the perfect iPod for anyone who wants an additional iPod (or first iPod, whatever) that is small, wearable, and kind of amazing. For the price, it is a great value.
you need more memories. Easy to carry and to find and load music, the complain is. If you have budget problem like me, this is a good choice. Good for its value, the sound system are nice. Go for those have higher memories ones.
When I get to the gym I just turn it on; no time is wasted searching for playlists or trying to decide what I will hear. I already had iTunes on my PC, loaded with music, so it was very easy to transfer songs to the Shuffle.The earbuds fell out of my ears while exercising so I use a different style of headphones. If you have differently shaped ears or don't move a lot, the earbuds might work fine for you. I was surprised by the small size of the Shuffle when I first opened the package. It's about the size of a half-dollar coin. As always, ordering from Amazon was quick and reliable.
Creative and SanDisk both have competing offerings with more functionality at a lower price.CONCLUSION: The iPod Shuffle as an expensive offering that really only makes sense to a specific subset of mp3 player users. I am no Microsoft lover or apologist by any means (I actually prefer Linux).SOUND QUALITY: This is the area where I give the Shuffle its best marks. It seems that it is really geared toward the gym/active user who doesn't need a lot of control over their music. Unlike most other mp3 players that use a mini-USB cable for charging and transferring music, the Shuffle requires the use of a proprietary docking station. Unlike every other CD or mp3 player that I have ever had, I was surprised to find that the Shuffle repeats songs before going through the entire list.If you decide that want to find a specific song, best of luck to you. It would seem to make sense to have a 512k offering to better match the functionality.In short, it's great for working out, but it would be extremely frustrating to use this as your portable music collection.OPTIONS: Really, the only option that you have on the device itself is the toggle between continuous or shuffle play. Ultimately it is not worth it to try to use the Shuffle this way.
Without a display, you essentially have one giant playlist that is in the order that you put songs on the device. For my workouts, I am using a pair of Skullcandy Buds Ink'd Earbuds - Dark Gray because they are inexpensive, and the in ear style have a secure fit while active. Finally, I was surprised by how slow iTunes is. This is also the only Apple device that I have owned of any kind.SETUP: There are two things to note about the setup process for the iPod Shuffle. However, I noticed that between 30 and minute minutes into shuffling, the first song gets repeated. This is a very restrictive requirement for such a low end device.
From iTunes, you can update the software for the Shuffle and change a few settings that most people won't alter from their defaults.COST: You are paying a premium for the Apple name, but you probably already knew that. As such, I wasn't able to reuse any of the myriad of mini-USB cables that I have from other devices. You can either play straight through the list, or you can "shuffle" your music. Neither of them is complicated, but they are annoying. Believe me; the last thing I expected was for iTunes to perform slower (by a significant amount) that Windows Media Player. This was with over four and a half hours of music on the device. With this in mind, I can hardly see the point of even having a unit larger than 1 Gb.
You have skip and reverse navigation, and you'll need a good memory of what order you synced things to your device. While these ear buds will not win any awards, the Shuffle still sounds good even using these.USAGE/NAVIGATION: This is the area where the Shuffle is way behind the competition. It is equal in dynamics and range to my Sansa Clip, and it even sounds good plugged into the AUX jack for my car stereo.Of note, however, I am not using the headphones that came with the Shuffle. BACKGROUND: I am an experienced mp3 player user, and my current other unit is a SanDisk Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 Player (Black). I have never thought of myself as having small ears, but I found that the headphones that come with the Shuffle seem rather large and hurt my ears immediately after putting them on. I bought a silver 1 Gb iPod Shuffle primarily to use at the gym; however, I will also comment about general usage as well.
The sound is great whether I am playing m4p formats from iTunes or mp3s that I have ripped from CDs or purchased elsewhere. So you either have to buy a second docking station or take the one that comes with the Shuffle with you for charging away from home.The other thing about the Shuffle that I found frustrating was that you are limited to using iTunes for music transfer. Further, you can only transfer music from a single computer. While the sound quality is good, it is really only for brand loyalists looking for a player to use at the gym.
En mi caso he comprado el Ipod shuffle para utilizarlo con una dispositivo para nadar, todo esta muy bien.Toda la compra ha salido muy bien, todo en orden y en la fecha que se comprometieron.
