Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Sansa Clip 4 GB MP3 Player (Silver)
Digital camera Review: Awesome MP3 for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is a great little player for the price. It is very user friendly and the perfect size.Digital camera Review: Awesome little mp3 player
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the Sansa Clip 4gb player for Christmas. It's my first mp3 player, although I've played around a bit with my daughter's iPods. I wanted something that packed the most punch for the least money and the Clip fits the bill.
I think the sound is great. Downloading songs and podcasts is easy. And I love the fact that it has an FM radio. Just that feature alone paid for itself this week as I waited in a security checkpoint line for 3 hours at the Inauguration! Due to the intuitive controls, I could operate it even in the packed conditions where I could barely move my arms! Earphones could be better, but I expected that.
I do agree with previous posters who said the "up" volume control is a little tight up against the headphone jack. Other than that, no complaints! Great little player.
Digital camera Review: Awesome performance, great value
Summary: 4 Stars
Sandisk Sansa Clip is defenetly a great idea for an extremely portable, affordable and high quality audio player. Doesn't only combine small size and weight with high capacity, but it also has a great sound quality, decent battery life, and an extraordinary codec support.
Launched probably as a low-end digital audio player, people soon started to realize that the built in sound chip was more than impressive, and the quality of the audio beats a lot of more expensive players in the market.
With a 4GB of capacity and an 8GB version coming soon, it has plenty of room to fit a mini music collection in there and not having to worry about changing your music in quite a while.
Also, with the latest firmware update, you will be able to play OGG and FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) high quality audio from this tiny little device.
A piece of advice... as soon as you get yours, proceed with the firmware upgrade to get the best out of your player. Also to avoid losing your personal customizations. FW Upgrade always resets the device to factory settings. If you already own it, backup your settings and music, and perform upgrade.
PROS:
-Sturdy
-Extremely Portable, small and lightweight.
-OLED power saving screen.
-MP3, WMA + Audible 4 support.
-OGG Vorbis support (After 1.01.29a Firware upgrade)
-FLAC support (After 1.01.30a Firware upgrade)
-Over average battery life
CONS
-No expandability slot (c'mon Sandisk)
-Not the best radio reception
-Included headphones are cheap (get decent ones, Sennheiser are great and mostly unexpensive)
-Fingerprint and scratch magnet (get a case ASAP)
-OLED screen stays on while charging (Oleds tend to die after ~5000 hrs of use)
The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because I'd love a MicroSD slot to add some extra room to fit half my music collection in there if possible. I'd say this is 4.5 stars.
If you like to exercise, jog, play, or do whatever it is that you like, you don't want to carry a heavy delicate device with you that you must be aware of not dropping to protect valuable LCD screens, you don't need photos or movies, and you like to have great sound quality in your music or audiobooks, this player is for you. It's also great as a spare or second media player for active people.
Digital camera Review: Awesome player!
Summary: 5 Stars
This tiny unit is a technology marvel. I have 506 songs loaded so far and still have a lot of memory space for more. It's so light, I can clip it to my t-shirt at the gym and don't even feel it.
I researched the Sansa Clip quite a bit before I bought it. Other reviews raved about the sound quality. I agree! The sound is excellent. And after 7 hours of play, the battery is only down to 50%.
My only complaint are the earbuds. They are designed to fit into the outer part of the ear and not into the ear canal. They don't stay in place. I am looking into some other earbuds that fit better.
Digital camera Review: Awesome quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product 2 weeks ago and I am very happy with the sound quality and menu. However creating a playlist and the earbuds that comes with it are lame. I had creative sound isolation ear bud and it works great with this little monster. I suggest you to buy if you may find it under 35$ or less price, as I did. And don't forget to buy a good set of head phones for that.
