I finally decided to buy a Suffle and was anxious to try it with my Shure earphones. What a dissapointment this was. I hear a "grasshopper" noise in the background all the time. It is very clear when switching between the songs but it can be heard also during a song if the volume is not too high or the song has a quiet part. This is pretty annoying even when it's not a horrible noise at all.
Has anyone here faced the same problem or ever heard of such? I have tried to find something from internet but everyone just seems to be very happy with their Shuffle. I'm wondering if my Ipod is faulty or it's just the way it is. I'd like to hear comments from you before I contact Apple.
I tried the Suffle also with my Sennheiser earphones and I didn't hear any hiss. But I can't go out jogging with those huge things on my ears !
