CNET Asia Review

Good

6.3

out of 10

The good: A dead-simple user interface with satisfying tactile controls; integrated belt clip; includes cute little syncing cradle.

The bad: No screen; might be too small for some users; non-standard USB syncing removes plug-and-go appeal.

The bottom line: If you like your music playback simple and your device nearly invisible, the second-generation iPod shuffle will suit you well. But absentminded users should steer clear of this easy-to-misplace player.

The best "No Frills" MP3 Player

Jul 8, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Fits anywhere on your person, Amazing battery life (because of lack of a display), Great sound quality, Just the right price, Great customer service
Cons: Some people might find the lack of display a negative factor, May loose it easily if you are the forgetful type, No option for making playlists
Opinion:
Overall, its the best "No Frills" MP3 player out there. It fits in my pocket completely without taking all the space. I was pleasantly surprised by the great battery life. It has good, responsive, "smart" controls. If you just want something to play your music, and dont care much for the extra features, this is definitely the one for you!
