Apple iPod Shuffle 4GB 3rd Generation MP3 Player Reviews

+ Great sound!

- Earphones keep slipping out!

+ absolutely the smallest most portable easy to use music player i have ever seen or owned....buy one!

- none yet!

+ tiny, portable, does what it says on the tin

- headphones have to be apple as thats were the functions are

+ Easy to set up and use. Massive storage and easy to conceal whilst using outside.

- Ear phones keep falling out and control position is a little too high up wire. could do with being lower down for access whilst listening.

+ With itunes installing and downloading so easy, its light and so portable you forget that you have it on. it sounds so good, well worth the purchase. I would recommend it.

- not very keen on the switch on the head phone lead you tend to be thumbling around trying to change tune. best advice down load songs that you really like dump the head phones and get some that clip around your ear and set the volume settings in itunes and your away.

+ small compact size & more memory

- the product didn't tell you that if you use a different headphone, you don't have any control as the remote is hooked to the earphone (which is rubbish anyway) so it's not so easily portable - you'd have to carry the remote in your bag in case you want to change the volume. Its not loud neither compared to the 2GB which is a let down for gym. Still think the 2GB is better but they are hard to find these days as it's been discontinued.

+ Easy to use when you're out and about. Good sound quality and good value for money. Voice over feature is useful.

- It doesn't recognise names of tracks/albums that have been downloaded from the internet. Had to manually type the name of track for it to be recognised by the voice over feature.

+ compact, easy to use, reliable

- none

+ Small, looks cool

- Headphone controller is rubbish. Bought for the gym, but if the integrated controller even senses any water it stops working, so i cant turn the volume down

+ nice and small, easy to use. brilliant sound

- none

+ is very small and portable, sound quality is good

- i prefer a visual display for track info to this talking one

+ It's easy to have on when I'm in the gym

- I don't know how to turn the sound up and sometimes the gym's music drowns my sixtes music

+ good sound quality.

- No functions on the acual ipod itself that enable you to skip tracks. You need to use the (badly designed) headphones for this. This is a real problem if you attatch the ipod to your car cassette system because you cannot skip to the next track, you have no choice but to listen to the track that is playing. The earphones look very cheap and flimsy and the actual skip control is too high up on the earphones. The ipod itself is ridiculously small. You need to use itunes to put music on the ipod, which caused some incompatibility issues on my PC.

+ Its small yet it does alot. The voice function is great for what the i-pod does.

- Even though its so small there is no forward function or rewind so when you select the song there is no way to rewind or forward.

+ small, portable, good quality sound and easy to use.

- a bit expensive for mp3 player. no carrier case.
