The Apple iPod Shuffle is affordably priced with a compact design and long-lasting battery. It's both stylish and easily wearable
Thanks to its sturdy built-in clip
The additional controls on the new iPod Shuffle mean you'll be able to pause
Skip and rewind through all your music
Without having to resort to remote control based buttons.Despite being more squat than the previous iPod Shuffle
Apple's latest wonder remains every bit as slender
And usability is better than ever. The clip is easier to use

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. It’s the smallest iPod Shuffle that has produced
Yet the buttons are larger
Making the MP3 player easier to use on-the-go or in the gym. The iPod Shuffle is also so light

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

Lightweight design with a sturdy clip, Straightforward interface, Long battery life, Can store multiple playlists, No longer requires Apple's proprietary earbuds, Attractive price
Loses headphones with inline controls, Half the storage space as the last-generation shuffle
Apple's pint-size, screenless MP3 player is easier to use than the previous version and now has an impulse-buy price.

The iPod Shuffle returns to its big-button glory days, only this time around it offers 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 iPod Shuffle's buttons are back, and the lightest, smallest MP3 player on the planet is now better than ever.
Lowest-priced iPod. Now has on-player controls for easier navigation. Voiceover feature speaks the name of songs, artists, and playlists.
Not a lot of storage. No screen, thus no video or photo support. Bundled with lousy earbuds.
It's hard to get excited about an iPod with no screen, but Apple's inclusion of on-player controls makes the affordable shuffle easier to navigate—and a better value. Buy it now...
A smarter, redesigned sequel to Apple’s entry-level iPod, containing the best features from prior iPod shuffle generations with relatively few and small compromises. Restored five-button control scheme is augmented by new VoiceOver and battery level b
Features are not competitive with rival products at the same price. Even slower than unimpressive predecessor for music and file transfers. Initial collection of colors is muted and somewhat dull by comparison with the best past iPod models; some may
