SanDisk Sansa Clip 1 GB MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sandisk Sansa Clip 1GB is a great value MP3 player.It has the same capacity as the iPod Shuffle at $35.It also has a screen, FM Tuner, voice recording and more.You can get the 2GB version for $25-40 more.

Pros -
+ good sound
+ nice capacity for a decent price
+ light-weight
+ FM tuner (20 Presets)
+ voice recording
+ nice design with color options
+ Nice format compatibility (MP3, DRM WMA, WMA, Audible)
+ USB 1.1 and 2.0 connectivity
+ Can be used as a USB drive / mass storage
+ Can sync music with drag & drop or via software
+ 15 hours battery life is better than Creative Clip Plus

Cons
- larger than the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod shuffles
- for just $20 more you get the 2GB Clip with added features

The new Sandisk Sansa Clip has the advantages of the iPod shuffle with some of the compatibility, feature, and price benefits of other MP3 players.Unlike the Sansa Express, which you can plug in directly into your USB port, the clip uses a standard USB B cable.

The Clip is definitely a little bigger than the iPod shuffle, but not by much.It has a great feel and a nicer clip. It is also priced VERY well for the holidays.It fills the market for a starter MP3, workout unit, or gift.

The rechargable battery seems better than the Creative Zen Stone Plus and gives you a respectable 15 hours. The sound is nice. The earbuds are passable for beginners but most people will replace them.As for durability, only time will tell; so far it's holding up nicely.

The Zen Clip also has a larger 2GB option. For those needing more space, you will have to explore the Creative Zen, Sandisk Sansa View or new iPod Nano.All of those units have higher price tags.

SanDisk Sansa m250 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've seen several reviews for this player (a couple comments here, but mostly on other review sites) that have basically stated that it's "just not an iPod".Well, yeah..it's NOT an iPod.I don't think SanDisk is trying to be an iPod with this player, and I'm thankful they're not.
I wanted an MP3 player so I could listen to music while running.I needed something small, lightweight, easy to operate without having to break pace - especially when on the treadmill - and something that could take the bounces and jostles associated with running.I didn't care about the iPod brand, being able to watch TV/video, color screens, or having double-digits worth of GB memory.
This little SanDisk player is great for me.Within hours of it being delivered to my front porch, I had several CD's worth of music loaded on and I was listening with no problems.It was super easy to load music on it using Windows Media Player.It did take some reading to figure out how to work all aspects of it, but that rings true for almost any electronic device.I did the various functions while reading the instruction manual - the one on the included disk, not the super brief quick start guide - and was able to figure things out the next time with no problems.And with 2 GB of memory, I have plenty of room for my music.I've loaded probably 10 CD's on it already, and I have plenty of room to spare.
As for using it for my intended purpose - while running - it's wonderful!I used the included plastic cover and armband and off I went.I'm able to skip songs and change music while maintaining pace.The sound is great - even with the little foam earbud covers, even despite the noise of the treadmill.It's definitely much easier than trying to deal with a discman and one single CD.I've used it for probably 3-4 hours already, and the battery indicator has dropped just one section.
A tip for the instruction manual - pop in the little disk and use Windows Explorer to find the pdf file, then copy it to your computer.This makes it much easier to come back and look something up, rather than having to wade through the disk's contents.
If you want a very nice and perfectly functional MP3 player - and don't need/want the iPod brand and price - then this player will easily meet your needs.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
