So basically, if you buy a new Shuffle and you lose the headphones or they break, you need to shell out for new Apple earphones (overpriced), or the Apple in-Ear buds (very overpriced), or shell out for 3rd party phones that have support for Apple's system.
If you buy a new Nano and you want to use the radio, you have to be using their Apple phones, again.
Total BS.  |
What? No, not at all. I have the new Nano and use my Sony headphones with them and receive the radio transmission without any problems.
I had asked the guy at Best Buy prior to purchasing if I needed Apple headphones and he said you didn't - I probably wouldn't have bought it, had that been the case.
