I was quite suprised at the sheer quality of this piece of equipment when I first tried it out in December 2008. For only £32 it seems to be pretty good at blasting your favourite tunes into your ears and you don't even have to keep changing it's batteries unlike other mp3 players. The way in which this iPod Shuffle is operated is great, very easy to use and possible to function with your eyes closed. The best MP3 since...ever.
Depending on the size of the tracks synchronised to your iPod this one can hold roughly 240 tracks, but can vary. Nowadays, this iPod can come in four different colours; silver, blue, green and pink. All very eye catching.
This shuffle is chargeable through USB on your PC, so if you don't have a computer then using this item would be pretty much impossible! One charge will typically last about 24 hours (in my experience) but this can differ. It's so much better than having an average MP3 player where you have to keep replacing the batteries that it gobbles up every hour! This iPod is to my great advantage and the price suits it very well.
The sound quality is great, even though I tend to find that the shiny and smooth trademark Apple headphones will fall out of my right ear if I lean to one side! Haha! But they are comfortable enough to wear for quite a while. So yeah, it's a pretty good mp3 player that does well for the money that you pay for it.
