MP3 Players Review

SanDisk Sansa Clip 4 GB MP3 Player (Silver)

Customer Reviews

A serious Product

Bought the 4gb sansa clip, when it came out, and I have been using it since. I think it's the best mp3 player of its kind and category, yes better than the shuffle thanks to its screen, radio and mic built-in !!! Better than the creative stone, thanks this time to its better sound quality and its better ergonomy. Sandisk has definetily made a product with a lot of qualities that makes the Clip a must buy player, except if you've also fallen into the hands of the billion dollar Apple marketing. + : small with an elegant design and very resistant very good sound quality drag and drop mode while usb conected built in mic radio player (with 10 presets, and possibility of recording) - : no automatic volume control no search by first letter (when having 200 artists you might want to search by the first letter)

A MUST HAVE

After reading other positive reviews I decided to buy. Everything you've read is true. This thing sounds amazing. It is hands down the best sounding MP3 player I've owned (Archos, IPOD, Mobiblu, & Zune). I listen to it through a pair of Shure SE530's. While it may seem crazy to drive $500 headphones with an $80 player, let me tell you it is justified. Buy one you'll love it.

Very good deal & features

I love this little player, it fits just the right amount of music for me, the size and light weight is great. I've got around 600 songs on here. I did have one problem with the disk space not returning to full after I deleted most of my songs, so I had to use the Sansa website forum and format the player. Also, the buttons stick and do not work from time to time, but the problem goes away quickly... feels like a software problem, not a hardware problem.

Very nice and great sound

I have never had an mp3 type player. I have never tried one. I do use computers and pro digital cameras. Therefore I do understand menus that are good or not. The menus are intuitive and are quite simple. This is good. The sound is great. It charges somewhat slow via usb. This may be normal for the mp3 of any type. The screen cannot be seen whatsoever in sunlight. Not a bit. Huge negative. The earphones are okay. This was [...] dollars at [...] . They have this thru Aug at this price. I do not know if 4 gb is good. I would prefer much more. (above [...] are 59 and c- o- s t co)

Worked Well for Three Weeks

The Sansa Clip has a long list of nice features for a nice price. The integrated radio receiver and voice recorder are definite bonuses, and the capacity is high for the price. As far as functionality it is standard or a bit above in terms of user-friendliness. Since the buttons are tactile instead of "touch" type, the device is still very usable--including volume control--if you are wearing thin gloves (such as for spring/fall biking or running). Now the negatives. It has a cheap feel to it, particularly the power/hold switch and volume rocker button. The menu system takes some getting used to. The screen is extremely hard to read in sunlight and the lettering can be too small to read even in darkness if the user is moving at all. As an added minus (the biggest by far), my Sansa Clip stopped working after three weeks. Unplug it from the computer and it becomes entirely unresponsive. No amount of cajoling or number of attempts to update the firmware have been able to bring it back to life. Thus, I'm facing the unpleasantness of long runs in silence while I exercise my warranty. Overall I would say the unit is quite worth the price if it stays alive.
