Good

6.7

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 6.7 out of 10
Reviewed by James Kim
Review date: 1/25/05
Release date: 1/10/05

The good: Design is dead simple and compact yet stylish and wearable; excellent integration with iTunes; solid sound quality; affordable.

The bad: No LCD; no extra features such as an equalizer; slow transfer speeds.

The bottom line: The iPod Shuffle, with its ultralow price, its dead-simple design, and its iTunes integration, is virtually guaranteed to be a hit, especially among those looking for a second iPod.

Product brief - Apple iPod Shuffle (1GB)
Hide

Description: The Apple iPod Shuffle is a 1 GB, flash player. Compared to other flash MP3 players on the market, it is midpriced at around $100.

Pros: Has a 0.8 oz weight, which is lighter than some similarly priced MP3 players.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A flash MP3 player, suited for bringing quite a few songs with you. According to the manufacturer this player will last approximately 12 hour(s) between charges; your run-time will vary based on use and power management configuration. Comes with a 1 year warranty, which is standard in the industry. Flash-based players are a little more durable than their disk-based cousins. If you bike or jog with your MP3 player, you may want to opt for a flash player like this one.

Value: In general, this MP3 player's features are in line with its price.

Suggestions: If you don't totally love the headphones that came with your MP3 player, you might find aftermarket headphones that better suit your preferences.
