I don't think I've ever seen this many models all available at the same time refurbished.
Current gen shuffles for $49 to current gen 80GB $299.
Previous gens too (first gen shuffle - some feel the best sounding iPod - $39, 30GB 5G $179, etc.).

Thought some of you may be interested.

See here.

Meh. No such luck in the UK

Well, I just bought one of the 2G shuffles. May try these "wireless" setups.

so how come you chose to purchase the 2nd G over the 1st G Shuffle?

do to your post and others I purchased one of the refurbished 1st G Shuffles.

now I'm wondering if I should have purchased the 2nd G Shuffle. I like the idea that the 2nd G supports Apple Lossless and Aiff. plus I like the Mod you posted with the 2nd G clipped to a set of headphones. but I worry about the hiss and SQ.

1st G has better SQ. how much better? no hiss? it also appears to be able to work the controls easier with one hand operation. it does support WAV.

so which should I have purchased, 1st or 2nd G Shuffle?

1st and 2nd G owners, which of the two do you prefer? and why?

from whwt i heard 1g sound better but with 2g is not that bad if paired with the right cans.

Are these differences even discernable whilst on the move?

Gotta love their refurbished stuff, I bought a 60 gig ipod video a while back

Come to think of it, refurbished kinda means they worked out all the problems from the first time around!

If you're going on sound quality, price or ease of charge and transfer, I'd get the 1st, which I had at one point. If you want smaller size, better build quality or a clip (without additional expense and bulk) get the second. For what I'd currently use the shuffle for over my full sized, I went with the second.

Almost tempted to buy an 80 gig 5G just to put the hard drive in my X5L. But then I'd have to take out the 2nd and 3rd batteries to make it fit, reducing its battery life to a paltry 14hrs. No thanks.

Can someone help me to get 1st Gen Refurbished Shuffle? Would be appreciated. I can paypal money to anyone that wants to help.

 

[papermasterarumi]

what does it mean though by "refurbished" was it used and they just cleaned it up? does it have scratches? or what

 

[flamerz]

Ack! Don't buy shuffle's there! They're cheaper here! I believe I've found this offer from another user here. Once my K81DJ's sell *coughseemysig* I plan on buying one.

 

[ekinwang]

is this site legit? it seems to be way underpriced..

 

[lastfreename]

does somebody have any experiences how the refurbished ipods look like?
