iPod Shuffle 3G: Unboxing Photos

biggest disappointment = cannot use any ordinary earphones.

I prefer large headsets thats why this ipod is not for me.

to godgets, may i ask why? is there something wrong in using an ipod?

I also don’t use iPod orig earphones why? ang sagwa na nga ng driver ng ipod’s ang sama pa ng tunog ng earphone mas maganda pa sound quality ng china earphones ahaha

is this already on the shelves here in the philippines?

@Raf
maybe for safety reasons, guess ko lang hehe.

Small and Horrible!

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

what is this? a race to the smallest mp3 player in the world?!

Small ipod. Huge memory :)

wow wow wow!

so small and so functional!!!!

ang ganda!

how much is that?

does it have an LCD screen?or ull make guess what song comes next?

mac <–ur gayness hehe

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…

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

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

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

@yuga

lahat ba ng review mo sayo na ang item? hehehe

**ingit mode***

im planning to buy one. pero prang ayoko na dahil sa mga review… ahm; can i ask, how much yung earphones lang nyang shuffle 3g? in case na masira ung kasama…

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).

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.

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.

Disclaimer: I’m not a Mac fanboy. :-)

I thought 3G means I can use it as 3G Modem =)

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. :))

hi diba po may feature to na voice over.. ask ko lang po kung gagana ba yung voice over kung di mo bibilhin yung music sa itunes?

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.
