Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Black (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL Great Portable iPod, but could use better headphones
 
Review Date: September 23, 2009
Reviewer: S. Johnson,
When I first got the new ipod shuffle, I knew about the problems that some were having with exercising and sweat causing the ipod to malfunction, so I also bought the Belkin Headphone Adapter to go with the ipod. Using it with the adapter, I have had no problems and the player works wonderfully. I love the size and the fact that this ipod can be clipped onto your shirt and you can't feel it there, even if you're running (as I do). The Playlist feature is the best thing about this player and what makes it better than the last generation Shuffle. I have multiple playlists on my new Shuffle and it works flawlessly.

I gave this Shuffle 5 stars because I love the function and the portability of this generation Shuffle, HOWEVER, you MUST purchase the Belkin Headphone Adapter if you want to use this shuffle with any headphones, which may cause some to rate this shuffle lower. Without the Belkin Adapter, I would give this Shuffle 2 stars simply because the Apple headphones are complete junk and don't work while exercising. So buy both, even though it's a little more expensive.

Also, I know there are other MP3 players out there that offer more functions at a lower price, but I love itunes and having all my music tied to one player (itunes), instead of spread across multiple players on my computer. All my music is tied to itunes, therefore, I'll be using Apple iPod products.Belkin Headphone Adapter with Remote for iPod Shuffle

Reviewer: gernboken,
I understand some of the criticisms of the new iPod shuffle, I just don't agree with them. I guess the new design is a love it or hate it thing. I love it. I've never had a problem with the controls on the headphone cord, in fact I think it's a really great feature. It's the first mp3 player I've ever owned that I could really control without looking at it, so even though the computer voice makes some silly mistakes, I like it too. The sound quality is great, it looks great, the size is right. Everything about this is perfect. I understand the complaint that people who want to use their own headphones have a problem with the controls on the cord. When it first came out there weren't many accessories for it, so you had to use Apple's headphones which aren't great. But it's been out for a while and other manufacturer's have come out with compatible headphones and adapters so it's really not an issue anymore. The idea behind this version of the shuffle is that it's small, easy to use, and affordable. It's all those things, and if that's what you're looking for, you should get one.
