Well, regarding Ipod’s stock earphones, it’s below par in regards with the sound quality (a philips earphone will sound better than it), but with regards the structure and durability of the earphone, it’s one sturdy earphone that could outlast most earphones you can buy. As it is stated above, it even survived a wash from the laundry (I also have heard this from other forum sites). A better quality earphones from iPod would be the 2 armature driver in-ear earphone with remote and mic. But instead of getting that, you could go for a better one of the same price or maybe a little higher.

Anyway, back to the topic. The first time I saw that new release of shuffle, It already made me disappointed. I mean, yeah, it was a good design but to remove the main controls from the player itself is something not really advisable. MP3 players are rated for accessibility and easy roundabouts. To take the main controls from the player is a sad thought.

I’m a Music Lover, I’ve had a lot of earphones that got through my hands (ranging from 100~1500k) most of them failed through typical usage. I still remember one of my players (It was the 64MB Nomad Muvo! damn, I loved that player), then came the 256MB Nomad Muvo TX! then now, 120 Ipod 6G Classic.

I still have those 2 players btw, and they’re still working well.

hassle masyado un papalit-palit ka ng headset. try nyo nlng gamitin un half ng headphone ng mga nokia phones na may control ng volume, songs. at least un pwede mo palitan ng ibang headphone un kalahati. tri-liner pareho un jack nila eh. but since wala pa ko ng unit na to, try nyo nlng guys, hope it works! =D

@yuga

I’m wondering why people are talking trash about iPod Earphones? Because I think it’s better than others, my earphones survived the laundry, and they conveniently increase volume without turning the audio to static. Well that’s my opinion, by the way I think apple’s earphones are expensive. )

I saw one at market market, priced at Php 4450, with 4GB memory. Better than the Shuffle 2G which was priced 3990 with only 2GB Memory.

I read in Cnet that you can use third party headphones, you just can’t control it. So as a workaround, you can adjust the settings with the ipod shuffle earphones then plug in your own headphones since the shuffle remembers the latest settings given (including the volume). You can’t skip songs but at least you can enjoy better sound quality.

i love the simplicity, but… errr about the earphones, how unfortunate coz owners cannot use any third party earphones.

Another thing, no playback controls

So what’s so fascinating with the new shuffle anyway? Seems the 2nd gen shuffle is way better, thanks to the controls being on the unit itself.

Nothing phenomenal.

Yeah Cdr-King all the way (though I own an IPOD Touch too). Cdr-King gives the average filipino worker a chance to own MP3/MP4 players at a cheap price. I don’t see a reason to own an IPOD suffle, it ain’t innovative enough like the IPOD touch, it’s one of those ‘wants’ not ‘needs’ kind of stuff.

@mhaqee

Based on a review I read somewhere, they said the 3rd party earphones will cost higher than the normal ones due to the new DRM chip that apple has embedded in the new shuffle (meaning earphone companies will be forced to buy rights from apple to produce such).

@mhaqee, the old square-shaped, colored iPod Shuffle 2G is still being sold and they’re cheaper. The earphones are not sold separately yet but Apple says they and 3rd-party providers will sell compatible accessories soon.

LOLz @Mark & Anne

Matawa ako sa pinsan ko kanina. Pinagmamalaki ipod nya bigay daw ng mister nya. Nung pakinggan ko tunog basura ang earphone. Sabi eto earphone ko galing CDRking (Im not promoting ha!). Namangha ang loka bat daw ang ganda ng tunog kesa sa original. Sabi ko na lang “well, that’s what you pay for buying an ipod”

by far the most pointless ipod in the line up.. you cant use other ear phones without the special button of some sort.

Yeah iPod earphones are shitty. I also don’t use them. Flaunting those white wires = invitation to muggers.

The instant I saw the headline, my first thought was: an iPod Shuffle 3G?! As in iPhone 3G?!
Then I remembered… oh, 3rd generation.

I still stand by my previous opinion on this sorry excuse for an upgrade: it’s the worst iPod to date.

Hurrah for Apple’s stock and shitty earphones!

I still prefer the ipod shuffle 2G, simpler, cheaper and you can use 3rd party headphones/headsets. Also considering the price of original earbuds is almost like buying a new ipod shuffle all together… which aren’t that good at all.

I guess this product will mostly appeal to mac fanboys…

rubbery cord means it’s less likely to get tangled. or it would be easier to untangle.

Small and Horrible!

We (most of us) never asked for anything smaller than the ipod shuffle 2G! this is terrible!
