This really depends on who you are, and the context. If you are hiker or jogger ( which is the shuffle's major target group??!!), this may not so bad(i never wear a mp3 while hiking, but many people confirm this to me). Good or bad is contextually and personalized.
If it's not fit you, just go ahead for the proper one for you, but for shuffle case, I'm afraid different comments will comes out from different corner. > Personally, I think Apple finally fell off the truck on this one. If you come to ask 10 japan iPhone users, they will more likely told you this may not the "first time" apple fell off the truck. As U.S. user like it very much, one 4% japan users really think it's ok. That's the difference. And tell again the relative-ness of good and bad.
