The Apple iPod Shuffle is affordably priced with a compact design and long-lasting battery. It's both stylish and easily wearable

No screen
Mediocre sound quality
Dreadful headphones
Requires a USB sync from a PC or Mac running iTunes. There's no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Only 2GB of storage. Navigating your music is a bit difficult without a screen. You can't download subscription Apple Music songs
Unlike the slightly bigger iPod Nano
You won't be able to select individual songs over playlists – as there's no screen on the Shuffle. Apple has binned the earphone-mounted controls
So you'll have to pay extra if you want buttons closer to your ears. At 2GB
Capacity is also somewhat limited.
Awkward to clip on clothing
No way to lock out controls from inadvertent bumps.
No screen means you can't find your music quickly
Puny sound
Expensive for the capacity
No 4GB version
No 8GB version
Earbuds are typically bad
It's pricey
Only 2GB
No remote on the headphones included
Only 2GB of memory means you'll have to really compress your tunes
2GB capacity is only option available to you
Sound is of very good quality
But it doesn’t quite match that of the large Apple iPod Touch. Nor does it reach its highest volume levels. It means that the iPad Shuffle isn’t quite the smaller alternative to the iPod Touch that it could be. A small 2GB capacity also fills up in no time. The supplied Apple headphones are sub-par
Uncomfortable and leak a lot of sound. Purchasing a new non-Apple p

Apple's most affordable iPod is a cheap, workout-friendly option for listening to music or podcasts, but it shows its age with a reliance on iTunes syncing and lack of wireless support...
Abstract: Cannot fault this, and cannot believe you get so much so cheaply. This is the price of about three good CDs! I don't know how easy it is for people who don't have iTunes or a Mac. I have both, so it was incredibly easy to work, once I got the hang of iTun...

The iPod Shuffle in its current incarnation is probably the perfect music player for keeping you company during work, working out or traveling. It's so light and small you don't notice it's on you, the build quality is excellent, and despite its tiny si...
Great build quality, VoiceOver works well, Respectable sound quality
Still function-light, Limited storage
Apple did not make any grand functional changes to the iPod shuffle in 2012. But in keeping things simple, Apple has ensured the continued longevity of this postage stamp-sized player. If you want a day-to-day workhorse music pal, this is absolutely not w...
If you’re after a companion to keep you company whilst you’re going on your jog but don’t want to spend £129 for a 6th Generation iPod Nano then this is the one for you. However, if you’re after a music player that is small but stores more than 2GB the iP...
As typical of Apple hardware, build quality on the iPod shuffle is very good, solid and premium in feel all round. From the front, to the back where the iPod Shuffle clips onto clothing: the iPod Shuffle feels great.

The iPod Shuffle might not be able to store as many songs as the rest of the iPod range but for £40 you’re getting one of the best, smallest and well-built MP3 players around perfect for when hitting the gym or on the move. So long as the awful headpho...
Apple's fourth-generation iPod Shuffle is a sleek and easy-to-use device, largely thanks to the return of the controls offered by the first- and second-generation Shuffles. The VoiceOver feature is also a big winner. Kevin Cheng, PCWorld.idg.com.au ...
No screen, Mediocre sound quality, Dreadful headphones
It's very simple: the shuffle is Apple's cheapest MP3 player, it's also the least attractive. While the nano is as strong a proposition as ever, we're left wondering just who might want a shuffle ... ...
