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

The iPod Shuffle includes a sturdy built-in clip; support for playlists, audiobooks, podcasts, Genius Mixes; and a multilingual VoiceOver feature that announces track information, battery status, and menu navigation
The 2GB capacity can't hold much, there's no headphone remote nor radio, the track controls tend to get pinched when clipping the iPod to your clothes, and the chances of you accidentally running it through the washing machine are quite high
The Apple iPod Shuffle is an adorable way to take your favorite songs on the go, but sometimes it's too small for its own good.
You cant really complain about the iPod shuffle. I mean sure, it would have been nice if there was a 4GB option, and maybe it’d be nice if the in-box headphones had inline controls. But otherwise we think Apple was pretty smart with the redesign of th...

You can use any headphones and will not feel the difference, because the button is on its body anyway. You may like the green nature of the player as: The box is really minute and I especially enjoy tiny logos with text "Start here". As to the advant...
Extremely portable; return of control pad makes navigating music easy; long battery life
Clip location interferes with controls; only 2GB of memory; so small, it's easily lost
The Shuffle is a nice option for gym bunnies or others seeking a simple, stylish music player. Those with more advanced needs will want to look elsewhere, however. ...
Abstract: The iPod shuffle 4G marks Apple’s return to the classic form of the shuffle 2G. It’s even smaller* and has new features like playlists and VoiceOver that make it better and easier to use. The price is right at US$49, but the product also introduces s...
