iPod Shuffle 3G vs 2G - March 2009

[GunzOfMaster]

i got a ipod touch 4g and a 2g model a blue one Its great!

[YouWouldNotBelieve33]

I have an Belkin Adapter for my 3G and now I use my Creative EP 630 / Philips SHE 6000 for it

[cooldude22032]

why the hell did apple get rid of the 4gb model in the 4th gen?!

[JebJam11]

I bought a 1gb 2nd gen off my brother for £5. I'm using it as a second/spare iPod. I obviously couldn't fit my whole library onto it, so I checked a box in iTunes that coverted all the tracks on the shuffle to 128kps, I was reluctent at first, as I like to have great sound quality, but after reading that most audiophiles couldn't tell much difference between 128 and 320 kps. Instead of getting 108 songs onto it I got an amazing 159 onto it. Nowhere near my whole library, but a great improvement.

the day of my birthday !

[zerochris]

the only BAD things is if the remote control not workin u cant use with it....shit!!!!

[bloodyvideo123]

I'm very happy to buy an Ipod Shuffle 2g from my friend last three days ago.

Shuffle 2nd Gen is ok, but the 3rd is good.

[1poptart36]

sandisk sansa clip plus > all ipod shuffles

[AKD1995]

Can u only change songs on 3G from the headphone set or can u motion sensor thingy it?

[dgveiga]

4g and 3g

[sweet10122]

GET A IPOD NANO 5g 16gb or a ipod touch 3g 64gb cuz they PWN this that thing has no games and no SCREEN and no controls. (i own both the nano 5g 16gb and the touch 3g 64gb)

[XCaMeRoNX96]

@sweet10122 I have all of them (the touch, nano and shuffle) and I use the shuffle the most

[redline98756]

shuffle suck i pod touch is where its at

[sanet56]

what is better? green or silver?

[theunits3]

lol - go for which ever colour you prefer. both are exactly identical for features, the only difference being colour. i would personally go for silver as scratches wouldnt show up that easily.

[abe2oo9]

@sanet56 silver is way better

[ulaxdo]

5:45 -Where is my old one? Oh, I lost it! lmao!

[nerf9nerf9nerf9]

FYI: "GB" stands for gigabytes

[filmsallday]

old one is better, hands down

[nerf9nerf9nerf9]

i am with ya dude

[sirlinkyalot]

It is flash memory, not a Hard Drive.

[ahmed182]

hiya guys

would someone tell me if the ipod shuffle 3rd gen's usb will work on the 2nd gen's one.. cos my my 2nd gen is not responing to it and im not sure, if it is broken or not

thanks

ps i have all the ipod's on the market

[xxxakeelxxx]

ive got no apple product but i want an shuffle witch one should i get?

[iGlaswegian]

get the 2gig one to start off with, the one on apples website. colour wise, go with the one you prefer...

[RevengeOfSoulja]

wow, before i accutually got this, i didnt realize how small it is, but when i got it. i was AMAZED on how small it is. Apple gets a thumbs up on that :)

[poorhestati]

I think it's too small, or atleast, it should be big enough to retain the contros on the device. I'm not sure which one to buy, so someone who owns BOTH generations, 2 and 3, please message me with some help (I will use it while jogging if that helps). Thanks.

[theunits3]

Go for the 2nd gen - physical buttons help and if your going to be jogging, ideal.

[FlamingHomelessDude]

its very good for stuff like exercise, chores, and throwing.

[Dimitri89]

you have to press 6 times to go to the previous song?? and i can't use it with my koss porta pro?? i'm very glad that i have a sansa clip.... what a waste of money...

(i don't speack english, sorry)

[Dimitri89]

and no, i am not a hater, i understand that this kind of product is for average's consumers who don't care about audio quality or features... but... this is too much crapy

[LuxueuxLin]

You press 3 times, and you can do that in less than half a second unless you're disabled or something.. no offense.

[LuxueuxLin]

Oh and you CAN use your Koss! :D There is an adapter that will connect to your Koss and the Shuffle. It's relatively short too! :)

[josephgrovers]

No it's fine. Your english is actually pretty good. Alot of idiots that were raised speaking english make sentences ages worse than yours. Your english is fine, what I've observed is alot of people who say "sorry I don't speak english" or things along those lines actually have pretty decent english for a non-englishspeaking person.

[anotherU2fanboy]

lmao at 5:41, "wait, where's my older ipod shuffle? mmm agh I lost it " lololololololololol xD

[DGleader]

is it your first cus i have got a nano(4g)and a shuffle(2g) and now im going to get the ipod shuffle(3g)

[Andaaaaay]

This was a good review, too say the least.

[souljasai]

wow apple killed it.. the 3g with no buttons killed it!! u cant even change songs, AND you are forces to use those terrible white ear shits, i use my beautiful radius atmoic bass that really work to say the least...

[LOOTS243]

You can just buy the new headphones for 600kr ca and they are much much much better !!!

[souljasai]

lol!!! they are shit compared to radius atomic bass, and my bose in ear!!!

[LuxueuxLin]

Sony's Digital Noise Cancelling headphone is better than Bose hands down. :)

[roger767]

for working out I like the older shuffles better. When running it seems that trying to skip a song on the 3G shuffle there is a change you will yank the right earphone out of your ear.

[tienlinh1901]

the new function: voice over....is pretty cool....i gonna get one xD

[gregysuper]

lolz u have same english accent as me lol :P

[JLMoneyMoneyYeahYeah]

r u scottish??

[Hmanstern]

i bought the ipod shuffle 2nd generation in blue yesterday and i prefer it over the 3rd generation because if you lose the head phones you are screwed

[gregysuper]

plus i hate that the ipod doesnt have any buttons!

I mean no screen is ok, but u use ur headphones?

That suck :D

[yamapresta]

haha .. ill buy the 3rd gen 4days ago.. but i was not very happy for all thos disadvantages .. then go to the beach and put my ipod in my pants and later i go to sea (stupid !!).. the ipod was screwed. But today ill go to wal-mart an changed for a 2nd gen blue ipod. :) they didnt ask anything im lucky haha..

[TheHoustonRocket]

Just bought myself a 2nd gen shuffle in blue yesterday got free speakers with it.

[TurtleKakashi]

ive gone back to my 2G as the clip on my 3G is not as flexible. Also i can use my sony noise canceling headphones which makes a big difference when on the train.

[stottie301]

ahhh but does it have the little thing to change songs on the side like

[stottie301]

fucking shit hw u have to use them head phones i actually hate em always fall out

any tips

[9mickee9]

wich is better 2g or 3g????

[bubblemuffinxp]

obviously the 3g

[olij96ipod]

hey 20 quid for a 2 gig upgrade aint bad 5 pound = half a gig

[olij96ipod]

hpoe they make more colors soon.........

[deltaklm]

Thanks a ton my friend. I've been debating on which to get to compliment my iphone (the battery life is terrible when you actually use it as an ipod). I like the look of the 3g, but the 2g is much more realistic as I can use my own headphones.

Thanks again!

[gregysuper]

2g.

I just got the 2GB one, its 20 euros less, and can fit 500 songs. Arent 500 songs enough? Some people like to overact about memory, but dont use it. Anyway, Im in luv with it, I can clip it on my trousers and not feel it :D

[DRBUK]

thanks for posting this video, this first time i actually seen someone whos actually bought the ipod, nice video !!

[iGlaswegian]

Cheers for accepting my invite - I hope you enjoy it. Still got mixed views on it - I used to see the shuffle as a 'low cost' unit and thus did not expect it to do the above and beyond. However, not that they've INCREASED the price - they are no longer working in a 'low cost' area. I would rather spend a few more quid and get a 3rd gen nano - which is priced for roughly the same price. Its difficult to pin-point whats wrong with this product, got mixed views on it.

[DRBUK]

this used to be the cheapest ipod....ok...it still is, but rather than get this, you could get a nano, which i said in my video.lol. i really wanted to get a shuffle, but i could just get the 2nd gen shuffle or a nano.lol. no point !

[theunits3]

When did I say it wasn't?

[kezzieusf]

I see that you just recently purchased a 2g iPod shuffle too. What do you plan on doing with it now that you have the new 3g one? Wouldn't its use be a bit redundant?

[theunits3]

The new 3G one isn't mines.

[jamieholo]

Good vid - just wanted to point out that you can actually use third party headphones, although you can't control playback or volume, which isn't great but at least its better than nothing I suppose.  After inserting the third party headphones you just need to turn the shuffle off then on and the music should start playing,

[niggajrem]

nuff respek

[emzisawsome]

nice vid im ordering the 2g product red tomorow morning

[MRENDD]

nice vid, I have the 2g and wanted to see it compared to the 3g.

[Emlyn08]

first :) nice video
