  • if only the damn thing had buttons on the ipod it would have been the shit

  • wtf is wrong? i have a green shuffle. you suck dude

  • iAgree !!

  • My Ipod shuffle came with the headphones xP

  • i got a this iPod now- and it bloody wont read out the song title

    anyone help? cos i have found no-one with the same problem :-/

  • They better be wary because the customers don't want a plain bit of metal and no buttons! Apple's headphones don't always fit my ears!

    Definitely advise don't buying this if you can use your own headphones!

  • @kendall916 seriously? I hate apple headphones and you can't use it without? :/ Fuck that noise.

  • this guy tells the truths.....

    all the advertisment say nothing about the disadvantages

  • Jus get a an adapter an use ur own headphones

  • my ipod shuffle is gold and was just 29.99 (i ordered it on avon long time ago but its not availible any more =( )

  • Aliminim...Aluminum dude =P

  • Its pretty unique without the buttons though but i still find it suckie how you cant use your own head phones

  • apple just want to make more money out of us for the headphones disgust me !

  • youre boring

  • all your doing is complaining

    get over it its a good ipod shuffle

  • This review sucks dick.

    So dull =/

  • true that man!!! " just put the buttons back on "

  • Comment removed

  • Yes you can -___-

  • press center button three timez stupidd..

  • My iPod is good! I get it from internet! You can try by yourself at gadgetton , com Take you chance now!

  • They should make the actual iPod the same as the remote. Like the shuffle is the remote but it has the iPod inside. It wouldsnt have a click wheel but it'd be smaller an you cud have ur own headphones. And now therere more colors...

  • dude, they have ALWAYS sell the iPods of the last generation when a new one comes out (this is the same with the Mac computers). So um, yeah :)

  • the point is the size...the fuze is huge compared to the shuffle

  • this is 2 big

  • Comment removed

  • the only button has the shuffle feature dumbass

  • this ipod is a REAL music player.remember CD and CASSETTE players played ONLY MUSIC NO SCREEN.

  • lol but that was a music player from like 10 years ago. What next, cell phones are gonna go back to having just green and blue backlight screens? EEEK!!!

  • apple wants to make the iphone slimmer just like itouch and thinking of adding new colors and also a app that interacts with everyday life!!!!

  • hmmm, i think that il keep my ipod nano because i dont like this one. i like that you can watch movies and tv shows on ipod nano so im not trading it to this.

  • it can hold more than a thousand songs if its 3g

  • more than 3 thousand songs

  • yep if your buying the 4GB

  • and it has no buttons?

    I'll stick with my kmart mp3 player - I got it for $30. It has a screen.

  • totally agree

  • Great review, the new shuffle is stupid I whould way rather have the old one. But the Ipod I like the best is the Ipod Nano 3g

  • i have a question on the chromatic colors. ive seen all the colors except for red and green... in the stores they keep saying they never sell those colors... gay. anyway i seriously hat that little shuffle i would rather have a screen to begin with

  • Sucks for all the people who don't like earbuds, I guess.

  • i like the buttin in headphones you dont have to keep looking at the ipod so it better they have not gone in the wrong direction either

  • If your looking for a workout buddy at the gym id recomend getting the ipod nano, cause you can get the nike + ipod kit which tells you how far youve run, how long youv been running for and you can store more songs, easier playlist functions, and you can race other people from across the world. I use it a lot definatly worth the money if your willing to spend a little extra

  • why is there a mic on the new ipod shuffle ??

  • there is no mic it said so on the web site

  • no mic just controls

  • theres a mic on the apple in-ear headphones

  • ya but not the standard one that come with the ipod

  • This was a great review. Bravo!

    :)

    ~Casondra

  • this is a bad idea come on now everyone dosent want to use their headphones

  • $80 for this piece o crap

  • iPod users see

    w w w. iPod-Forum. com

  • uhh lol following the trends of the other products. have you heard about the nano they have like 8 colours.

    Also there is a dongle what will let you use other head phones and the shuffle was designed for joggers so this doesn't matter. A lot of companies are making 3rd party headphones

  • 1- VoiceOver is cool but unnecessary.

    2- I hate Apple's earphones, with my 2nd Generation Shuffle, I can use my favorate earphones which easily fit in my ears, not keep slipping out.

    3- Sometimes when I go back to my room, I like to play my music on my stereo system, I just plug the stereo wire into my ipod's headphone port & play, but with this new 1, I cant change/play any songs coz only the earphones do that, so I'd have to stick with their earphones my whole life lol !!

    5 starred, Cheers!

  • They probably kept the old white MacBook because it was the only Apple laptop with FireWire.

    I think they were quite confident with the aluminium one

  • Who care's??? The Chinese own us now. LOL.

  • Obviously someone doesnt get the joke... Come on man get with the program.

  • have a shot every time he says 'button'

  • I guess u cant play this on the car radio? SUCKS!

  • yeah you can...

  • They released it on wednesday instead of a tuesday! Oh my god no! THE END IS NIGH! The book of revelation is unfolding in front of our very eyes! If apple released a dildo (it would probably be one expensive dildo) would you review it? I wonder what colors it would come in?

  • wat is nigh?

    im not british

  • nigh means closer than close. or nearer then near. to easy to find out :\

  • americans are stupid you fuck. you still use imperial measurements as well.

  • EXACTLY. Because we hold ourselves up high, in this modern World, WE ARE THE EMPIRE!

  • Only 59 Pounds??? Dude I weigh 255 Pounds. The British are Stupid, they take fat over money... How stupid is that???

  • You know we Americans are TECHNICALLY British right? I mean, if you think about it you're saying you're stupid. And the British currency system is based on the old measurement as the weight of gold. Therefor, pounds. For weight, they say stone. I think you can see the pattern. I'm pretty sure that's right...

    I wouldn't bash where we came from, and our ally in basically every war- not smart. lol

  • Dude... Im just messin around, you know all us white people are united. White Power, New World Order, Yeah. Im from Manchester, yeah go Red Devils. The HELL with Liverpool!

  • Although i'm not currently following those teams, I love Liverpool as a town, I mean- THE BEATLES! (:

  • like illuminatevision said, its a SHUFFLE. You just listen to whatever song comes up. I don't like the headphones that much either, but i'll live. Watch other reviews, also. I watched like four others and decided to get one.

  • these suck cause its like 20 to 30 bucks for an adapter if you want nice headphones

  • Apple is not weary or unsure of their new product designs. They are simply providing these older product models because they are still highly popular.

  • apple head phone are terrible

  • And those of you who are complaining about the controls on headphones...

    seriously.... who gives a fuck!

    how many time you press the buttons on your ipod shuffle?

    it's "iPod Shuffle"!!! not "iPod pick-your-song"

    you just listen to whatever it plays!

    fuck man... bunch of whiners...

  • I do like the concept of the little remote on the headphones because when your listening to it, and it's in your backpack if you will, you don't have to scramble to take it and and change, you can just click. But I'm not paying $30 dollars for it.

  • voice over is fun i change the title for the song instead i wrote F*** y** then it told me that lol lol

  • how could you fucked up the headphones the ipod must have buttons on the device not the headphones how can i change the songs using my other better headphones what the fuck way to go guys , great job

  • sucks..cuz apple's headphones are terrable.

  • im jealous because i looks really cool and i just got my ipod touch at cristmas but ur fucked if u had it in ur pocket and you put it in the washer but o well

  • the whole "apple headphones only thing" is gunna fuck em over the worst on sellin em

  • the no buttons thing makes me not want to get one. I'll keep my 1st gen touch and just get a zen.

  • that was an ever so interesting blog style video podcast you showed us all there, and i thoroughly enjoyed it ,:) but i would just like to say how boring your voice is. maybe next time you should follow apple and try their futuristic robotic voice?!

    just a suggestion, eh?

    love ya xx

  • no they still have the old shuffles so they can get rid of them

  • exactly

  • why dont they just add a slim screen to it, i think maybe then the 1000 songs will be easier to navigate through, and please put the buttons on.

  • The screen would be horribly small. And they would have to add a graphics card and better processor to do that. It just wouldn't work to well. Now i think if they had a touch screen shuffle that was just a screen on the front, now that would be an idea!

  • they wouldnt make a touch screen on it just because that is a selling point on the more expensive touch. Each iPod has its own special feature. its an interesting idea tho

  • Ahh, good point.

  • ricedraja because apple will copy the Nextar and Sony design a slim mp3 player with a digital small screen

  • i agree with you.

  • i love apple but this really sucks

  • i agree, no buttons -- i dont WANT to use SHITTY apple headphones. thats so dumb. fuck that

  • well accually you can use a headphone splitter that way you may use any headphones you want on the other jack and still have the control although it would be`a hassle...

  • wow nice review ;)

  • I prefer the 2G shuffle but maybe apple see that some people will like the new design but others will like the old therefore they still sell both, same with the macbooks, personally, I like the new macbooks. Apple will probably gradually phase out the old products, this is probably a better idea because they leave the older products but give the option for both if that's what people want.

  • Fair enough its got a larger capacity and voice over but there are both functions that could have been added to the 2G iPod shuffle!!

    Someone has messed up bigtime...& i'll definitely keep on using my 2G shuffle in the mean time!!

  • 4. Its almost getting to small...i mean seriously, who has ever looked at a 2G shuffle and thought..."damn, thats huge...!!". There is no need to sacrafice functionality to make a little bit smaller.

  • 2. Buttons on the 2G are HEAPS easiers to use...with this 3G you can't go back, and you always have to put ure hands up to ure next rather than ure pocket to chnage the song.

    3. It looks UGLY...compared to the 2G which is a sexy & colorful piece of technology!!

  • Thhe people at Apple have messed up BIGTIME!! There are soo many things with this iPod I don't even know where to begin...

    1. Why put the buttons on the headphones...are you fucking stupid?? the headphones that come with it are shit and you'll be lucky to get 2 weeks out of them...i think most people prefer to use there own headphones!!

  • u can use ur own headphones by just getting a headphone splitter. ull still have the control but u can use either 1 of the headphones

  • Apple left out the idea of a user- friendly product when creating the new ipod shuffle. It is way to complicated. The idea of it being super small is great, but they didn't need to sacrifice the simplicity of the controls.

  • ipod shuffles are meant for people who work out/run/skate/any thing that has to do with flexing your body in weird positions. the reason its so small is so it doesn't pinch your legs when you raise them. the reason it has the voice is so you dont have to guess what song your listening to cause theres no screen. and last of all. the buttons are on the head phone thing for two reasons. 1. to reduce the size of the actual music device and 2. to put the buttons on a more convenient location. think

  • nope dont think so

  • it sounds gay

  • I thought that this was a joke at first!

  • your stupid the only reasson the have the other one for sale is because they have leftover that they never sold.

  • yh but they never sell the old ipod classics aswell etc so he is right

  • I thought u were takin the piss when i was first watching this vid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxx

  • skullcandy make a special set of headphones for this ipod the IphoneFMJ and they are really really good thats one plus i spose

  • Apple is just taking advantage of people up to this point.

  • ???

  • i have the black one

  • How do u like the new shuffle so far? Any pros, cons? Love ot hear what you think about it.

  • its really cool because its handy and u can like just clip it mostly anywhere we wish. what i dont like is it doesnt have REPEAT options and its kinda annoying to press the control all over again and it always messes it up like it sometimes move forward to the next song or back to the previous song

  • yeah and plus, headphones break or stop working a lot.

    so if those break, you just lost 79 bucks.

  • agreed.

  • thx ,

  • y2kjonrichards) i realy agree with you there for everything.

  • Cool...but seems kinda hard. Does that make sense?....... :)

  • That ipod is kinda gay... :(

  • If you really think apple offers the older models because they aren't confident in the new stuff, your completely daft! They still offer them because they know there are some people who would still prefer the older designs (like you apparently...) and the cheaper price tag. And they more than likely have plenty in stock and they need to get rid of them still. So I'd say that's a pretty poor assumption.

  • it wasnt a poor assumption it was his personal take on the whole situation, but i agree with you though. I also think that maybe apple is trying to target a new consumer, especially the runners or the gym goers...because to be honest i dont like having to fumble with buttons or have my bulky iphone or ipod strapped to my arm or waist when im running or lifting weights...(never had a shuffle though) but the smaller size seems like it would be ideal for the gym

  • who is this guy? lol

  • tell you what they should have done made it as small as it is but have think fold out metal piece with the buttons and small song info detail like that sony walkman phone with the thin fold out metal part with the buttons on that covers up the number keypad

  • OR you could pay the same price for a sansa fuze, i know no one's heard of it, but its basically a knock off of the nano, so you get a screen, video, fm radio, a slot for memory cards so you never run out....aaand you can use what ever head phones you want. so there take that apple. haha

  • WHY ARE YOUTUBE ADVERTISING FOR APPLE?!

    /allcaps

  • the best ever ipod was the touch cant beat it does every thing

  • It doesn't make phone calls.

  • ovbousilly not? its an ipod not a phone

  • it doesnt make me food..kinda disappointing

  • 9:45 actually this usually happens (like the old nano its more of a cheaper option theres a whole section of refurbished ipods if you know where to look on the home page :-)

  • Yea but they are refurbished and the Shuffles are being sold new.

  • apple is fucking gay for even thinking this one up.... hey lets make it smaller by putting the buttons on the earphones

  • hahah!! i totally agree with you...how stupod are they!!

  • Do you think Apple will bring coloured versions of this ipod?

  • I think they will.

    But by the looks the adds are against it.

  • its all about the aethetics to Apple though.

    They wanna make the smallest ever iPod. The lightest ever MacBook.

    Thats fine, it works in the way they intended, but like most products, when you put 90% of your focus AND budget into how it looks - the practicality suffers.

    Wont be buying this one

  • so how do u control the music if u want to use another headphone?

  • you can't.

    the new shuffle is essentially nothing more than a thumbdrive

  • ur right, id be right fucked off :P

  • I got that ipod already dont beleive me well i got it online on amazon for £59.00

  • this is a great ipod! Ummmm there is only two problems the apple headphones....and it is very very very small

  • Well, Apple needs to rid of its old generation iPod inventory. That's why they are still selling them.

  • I don't want an mp3 player that could get stuck in a gap in the pavement, I'm not a pygmy marmoset. this = shit

  • I wouldn't buy this, but I would probably buy anything that you sold! Great unbiased review!

  • i think they offer the older gens on the website to provide more of a variety, but w/e.

    it is kinda b.s. that they just moved the buttons to a set of headphone, though

  • good review. very informative. thanks

  • dude. he says they still sell the 2nd hen ipod shuffle like its a bad thing. dude, they sell all the ipods they made.

  • Lol, I'd like to see you buy a 1st Gen iPod or an iPod Mini from Apple!

  • well most of them. they ones that were good.

  • u should be a reporter man..u seem like u kno wat u talking about N very clear LoL

  • lol he does! =P

  • I'm looking to buy a new iPod, and I was thinking of getting a shuffle... I like the size the new one, but it IS a rather ugly piece of metal.

    Do you know where I can actually buy the new shuffle in the UK?

  • I Love this

    livvyxo !

    Also see my YouTube site & receive FREE Gift Cards!

  • You should be able to get it in any Apple store now, or online.

  • The 2nd gen lasts for about 14-17 hours top

    This one only lasts for 10 hours lol

  • hahaha some people are so gullible

  • well i say the reason they r now leaving their old ones for sale is because they kno ppl have different amounts of money so they cant always afford the best. but i have the 2nd to newest macbook pro. i got it b4 the new 1 came out. i wish i waited a little longer.

  • Lol, same i got my ipodtouch 1 or 2 days before the second gen came out!

    :D

  • thanx dude... your a really good explainer!!

  • who' cares

  • Very well explained, and I thought that was a pretty fair opinion.

    Although I like the new design, I do feel a bit disappointed about about the lack of buttons on the device. I also agree that being restrcited to using one kind of headphones let's it down a bit.

    I'm just amazed how Apple made it so small, though, yet can still hold a good number of songs. I think it would make a good birthday present for someone, despite one or two problems.

  • nice thx... i was thinking of buying 1 .. but coming to think of it.. i prefer the old 1 for 31£ instead of 59£ for 4g ..

  • I was confused when you said if you order it you'll get it next week.

    I thought you said 45 days.

    Ha ha.

  • Good points, the headphones point sucks. What if you spent a lot of money on some SICK Bose headphones? And the voice thing is tacky. I think the shuffle's a waste in the first place. They just keep making things smaller and simpler but I don't want anything too small or simple and I think this just goes over that edge this time.

  • you dont even have one.....

  • I never said I did have one. I'm just talking about it not reviewing it.

  • hey great reveiw thanks

  • If he's moaning so much about it why did he buy it.

    I'm sure there's more positive points he's overlooking.

  • I didn't buy it, I am just discussing it.

  • Whats wrong with listening to music on your fucking phone instead of that shit.

    The gay crap costs £59 but you can buy a phone that plays MPs and has an OK camera and buy a 4GB memory card as well for £35.

    Apple iBastards. The are a right gang of thieving cunts.

    That 3G iPod Shuffle is made in a 3rd world shit hole, probably by kids paid a penny a day, and Apples gets them for £1 then makes £58 gross profit selling the gay shit to retards.

  • Its True you , you speak the truth lol!!!

    check out ma guitar vidz plz!...
