was rather surprised when the dock that came with my iPod shuffle broke on me. Even more surprised when I saw that Apple wanted $29.95 to replace it. Heck, that’s almost half of what the Shuffle cost to begin with. And if the first one broke so easy I don’t want to take a chance.
So I surfed around and saw this handy dandy thing. I got it pretty quick and it works like a charm! And what’s better, you can carry this around with you much easier than the Apple dock and it’s not going to die on me.
Great product!
This item seemed like a bargain but it was a big mistake!
Using it totally turned our new iPod Shuffle to waste.
Sorry we ever considered it! How they could make something so simple to be so bad that is destroys your electronics is hard to understand… but unfortunately true.
Everytime i plug this in it disconnects my external usb drive and thats where all my music is. Another person has this same problem so be warned
The USB Adapter for the iPod Shuffle fills a product need created by Apple. The reality is a similar adapter should have been included with the Shuffle instead of the mini-doc. Or, a standard USB port connection should have been used. Either way, this is a handy accessory for your iPod shuffle, and it works with both 2nd and 3rd generation models.
Pros
This unit is not only smaller than the Apple shuffle dock, it’s also cheaper. It’s very convenient to have as a backup. Price wise this adapter tends to be the best at less than $0.50.
Cons
Clearly this is a low end accessory. Failure rates are inevitable, so at these prices it pays to buy a few to have a backup. Additionally, secondary USB ports and USB hubs may not work with this one, so you have to use a main port.
This unit is worth a try. If you have the Shuffle, though, it pays to get some version of this adapter.
Enjoy!!!
Wired incorrectly, I used an ohm meter to check the wiring on an Apple 2nd gen shuffle charger and the metal case that goes into the usb port (of the computer)is connected to the 3rd segment from the top of the 1/8″ plug, this would be chasis ground. These low price connectors do not connect the metal case of the usb port to the chasis ground which leads to the error message that the unit conected to the usb port is drawing to much current and the usb ports is shutting down. Thus this unit does not work for charging or transfering data. If I can figure out the wiring so easily with an ohm meter, why can’t the chinese or whoever makes these? I don’t know how some of these units reviewed work unless they make some that do connect to chasis ground. Price was cheap enough so nothing really lost. My shuffle was not damaged by this cord.
