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

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.

A stylish, well made and incredibly small music player, you'll like the iPod Shuffle if you're after a bargain MP3 player for your daily workout. If you want an extra bit of control or more storage, however, it's worth looking at the new iPod Nano. Bes...
