Advantages: Small Easy to use Disadvantages: Limited functionality
. If you can afford it then I would urge you to replace these with Sennheiser's excellent cx300 earphones. The latter aregenerally on Amazon for around £20 and are worth every penny. The Shuffle also includes a charging dock. One end plugs into a USB socket and the other has a small cradle which holds the iPod whilst charging/synching. The 3.5mm socket doubles as the headphone socket and the means by which the unit charges and sends/recieves data.
The controls are straightforward. On the front of the Shuffle is the standard iPod dial. The centre button acts as play/pause. The buttons left and right of it act as track forward/back and the buttons above and below are the volume. The on/off switch is on the underside of the unit and the option of shuffling your music or playing it in the order you transferred it onto the machine is ...
Advantages: Great sound, looks cool. Disadvantages: Will have to purchase a second iPod!
Awesome bit of kit. Just bought this for my wife, for our wedding anniversary gift! I know weird, my wife actually asked for a gadget for a gift!
Simply plug into the wall, slip in your iPod and away you go.
The sound output is excellent and operation is easy. Cant give you any technical detail or references, but suffice to say its good.
She has it set up in the kitchen so she can slave away listening to her favourite tunes. The sound dock is so light and easily portable to which ever room you want it in.
Design is very contemporary and fits nicely into my MAC lifestyle apartment.
Remote has basic functions and works well, skip tracks, volume and on off.
I bought mine overseas and was considerably cheaper than the prices quoted in the UK.
The only downside is I will have to purchase another iPod as the wife keeps mine at home ...
Advantages: Easy to use, decent speed Disadvantages: Not particularly reliable
This cable comes with your iPod. It's the only way provided free with the iPod for you to recharge it. You plug it into a desktop or laptop computer and your iPod will charge via the power provided to the computer.
It seemed adequate enough when I was first using it, as long as the cable works and it's not too slow there aren't many complaints you can have unless it breaks. Clearly my luck isn't too good. The cable broke after 2-3yrs, it didn't snap so initially I wasn't sure why my iPod wouldn't recharge but which is cheaper, replacing the iPod battery or buying a new cable?
I wasn't too pleased to find out the price of a new cable so I decided to go with a cheap import from Hong Kong (not an iPod brand cable) which cost me only £2-3 and I've had no problems with it as of yet. I certainly wouldn't pay the £13-16 the iPod cable ...
