Apple iPod Shuffle user reviews (third generation, 4GB, silver)

Cons no controls on unit. Price. sweat causes issues (sweat gets into the cable controls) for many who workout using this diminutive iPod. on September 10, 2009 by 1812dave  | Read full review

Cons I had to be very careful that sweat or any kind or moisture didn't get on the ear phone controls. It isn't easy to do if you were them while you exercise. It really is a bad design. on June 7, 2010 by phartell  | Read full review

Cons I purchased one in July 2009. Since then I 'm in my 5th ear phone. Just try to run using it and one drop of your sweat will break the remote control on the ear phone. The Ipod will not work until you buy another.!!!! on January 7, 2010 by setoff  | Read full review

Cons you have to download music and you must know how to do it legally on September 12, 2009 by lordbelf  | Read full review

Cons I guess the person who designed the ear phones either does not sweat or does not work out. The ear phones were great until they got wet from sweat. The voice over starts talking to you and then you can no longer raise or lower the sound. on September 6, 2009 by bigmfd  | Read full review

Cons I lost mine the first day in my car. When I took my seat belt off the shuffle clipped onto it and it slid all the way up. Same color and all. The problem I have had so far is that the controls stop working when moisture from exercise is present. on June 12, 2009 by Technowgeek  | Read full review

Cons Was getting very used to it until the remote on the earphones died in the gym - no idea why. And without Apple's super-special earphones, it's pretty much useless. I though the product was designed for sweaty use ... obviously not. on May 27, 2009 by dubrug  | Read full review

Cons Of course with any shuffle, your options are pretty much have songs shuffled or chronological/playlist order. I dont mind though; I also have a touch to match up with my bose or for longer outings than the gym. on May 6, 2009 by muzicnut  | Read full review

Cons Apple's business concept of squeezing it customers for using its products. As others report, former accessories do not fit the new shuffle. Charge. on April 26, 2009 by tfp7  | Read full review

Cons boring look, proprietary headphones, perhaps too small on April 22, 2009 by melmils319  | Read full review

Cons Can't hook it up to your car stereo, the controls are on the earbuds so if you lose them you are out of luck and it also makes it difficult to find the play pause button quickly, u have to push the main button multiple times to change songs. on March 22, 2009 by jsansome  | Read full review

Cons No current adapter available to use non-Apple headphones/earbuds. on March 18, 2009 by nytoohio  | Read full review

Cons not being able to use other phones to control yet... But you can use them technically! I bought the apple in-ear with the "Button" they work and sound great really! on March 17, 2009 by volt2011  | Read full review

Cons you are stuck with abysmal ipod earphones if you want to control the thing! For anyone enjoying music with good earphones (like the Shure series), this has to be unacceptable. on March 16, 2009 by chavief  | Read full review

Cons Seriously...why do you need your $100 earphones to listen to a $79 music player? on March 16, 2009 by williast06  | Read full review
