This is such ########! I preordered The Clips last month (3-18). I’m still waiting. They were supposed to ship April 6th. I haven’t even received an kind of notification that it has shipped. Worst of all, my credit card got charged when I preordered it. I am not a happy camper. I have held off on buying accessories for my shuffle because I have been waiting for The Clips.

Tchocky:
The Clips began shipping yesterday, April 14th. And, all U.S. preorders were shipped.
I am sorry that you have been upset by the 8-day delay from our intended shipping date. The plastics color of the first production run units didn’t suit me. So, I stopped the run, and had the needed changes made so that the product would more exactly match the color of the iPod shuffle. I thought the delay would be better than shipping slightly off-white Clips.
Dawn:
Yes. The JamPod can be setup easily to work with your bass guitar. Just trim the volume control on your bass to where the cleanness/sound is how you like it. Set the iPod volume to match. Then, use the JamPod volume control to set the overall headphone level.

Received my JamPod on Friday and could not be more disappointed. Cheap quality and terrible sound. Save your money and read my post here:

***UPDATE***
Contacted DVForge to begin the RMA process for returning my JamPod. They responded that an “unforeseen QC(quality control) issue” occurred and that they would promptly refund my money. I feel it important to mention that the company has been very communicative and positive to me throughout the purchase and return :( of the JamPod.
