I'm hugely disappointed that they discontinued the shuffle. It's the best music player for workouts period. No fussing with the bluetooth pairing, just plug in headphones, clip and go.

I personally use mine for swimming. You can buy waterproofed shuffles such as this one: http://a.co/f64p74y and they work extremely well for swimming. In fact when the shuffle was discontinued I immediately bought another one as backup to my trusty waterproof shuffle that I've used for 3 years.

It's a much more expensive solution, but as far as the "best" solution, I'll take a cellular equipped Apple Watch + AirPods and a subscription to Apple Music for most workouts.

For swimming, I guess you could use something like this.

don't regular headphones not work well in the water? I thought you absolutely needed bone conduction headphones for swimming with music to be a pleasant experience

I've used "waterproof" in-ear headphones for years and they work great. They're not cheap but they do work well. http://a.co/dItFKD3
