Hey, Im planning to buy a new ipod, I have ipod classic but its not good for training. feels like I have a poop in my pocket.
So, I thought I buy a iPod shuffle, not the new one. I heard it sucks.
Because;
- You can only use ipod shuffle headset, not any headset you want.
- Those Ear-pluggs sucks and its not good for jogging they fall off, at least for me.
- It has no buttons 0.o
I really like how small it is, but using the crap pluggs kills it.
So I decided to buy the old one, with 1GB.
The Question is... should I? Or is there any better ipod for training? Any bad things about the old ipod shuffle?
Picture;
And does this color exist?
Thanks.

Why not buy an armband for your iPod Classic? I do that with my Nano-Chromatic and it's great for lifting or doing cardio. I see people at the gym do that with larger iPods as well, without any additional hinderance.
Also, what do you mean by "training?" Is that purely jogging?

| the new ipod nanos are also very small and thin which shouldn't cause it to fall out of your pocket or bother you. I think they come in 4 and 8 gig models and they aren't that expensive

Well, now that you've mentioned activities such as parkour, an armband may not be the best choice. However, there are more protective armband cases if you're worried about your iPod breaking.

Well, they cost around 150usd. They look small thought.
So, Does iPod shuffle old one sucks? Its very small and cheap. But I wonder if the quality is good.
and Btw, Any good headphones that doesn't fall off whatever you do?
I'm currently using Koss; and they are pretty good.

| I recommend iPod Nano, it's light,small with a reasonably large amount of space for music/video and it weighs barely anything.

| Just get the Nano Chromatics. They can play music and videos. Though those are just extras you would probably want light weight. The Chromatic weighs like you got nothing in your pocket and you could probably just get an armband for it.

The golden looking iPod you see there is a custom iPod plated with some sort of metal.

I hate those headphones, too many kiddies running around and show em off. I used to make money by buying them for 7bucks and then sell for 15bucks. Stupid kiddies made it a trend. oh well, im glad with my wesc headphones. Not to mention those headphones are kinda annoying if you got long hair. And it looks awful if you got a big head. Not to mention it doesn't isolate the sound.
