Customer Review: I've Had to Rewrite My Original Positive Review Because the Belkin Fell Apart!
Summary: 2 Stars
My original review (but keep reading, because I've added something important to what I said originally):
This product came into being because of deficiencies in the controls for the 4th generation iPod Shuffle Apple iPod shuffle 4 GB Silver (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL, Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL, whose controls are so close to the ear-pieces of the headphones that they are not only awkward to use, but they get soaked with sweat (if you're exercising, which is what many people who buy the Shuffle use it for) and then may perform erratically or not at all. This product puts the controls down near the iPod itself, which can be clipped onto a shirt away from your sweaty head. But best of all, you can use your own preferred headphones. If you're like me, you prefer the better tone quality of bigger headphones.
At any rate, this is a product whose designer saw a need and filled it with a new product. Thank you, Belkin.
November update:
A couple or three weeks after I had received the Belkin unit and had written the above review, I discovered that the Belkin had simply fallen apart. As far as I know I had not been rough with it and don't remember accidentally hitting it against a wall or taking a sledge hammer to it. :-) But it fell apart and was useless. This was a shock. So I took a chance and bought a different unit, the one made by Scosche Scosche Control Adapter for 3 rd Generation iPod Shuffle and have now had it for about a month. It works just fine, seems to be a bit more solidly built, and best of all it hasn't fallen apart.
And all of you have had problems with sweat inactivating the iPod Shuffle, 4th generation, controls, I hope you'll write Apple and complain.
