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.

Also, this MP3 player has a 0.3 in depth, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced MP3 players. By way of comparison, the average cost of a product with this favorable a depth is $150.

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. If you plan to take your MP3 player to the gym, a flash player may be the better choice, as opposed to a disk-based player that is more susceptible to being jarred.

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.
