CNET Prizefight: Apple iPod Nano vs. Sansa Clip+

[RamenBowlKing]

I still don't see why the Ipod Nano 6g is better than anything but looks. If your paying another 70 bucks just for looks then.....

Clip - FLAC, Better Interface, Better Controls, Better Sound Quality, Tactile Controls, Ease of use.

Nano - Puny hard-to-use touch screen. Inferior file compatibility, Imagine changing the song with the puny screen.

Yet, people throw away their cash and pick the nano. People these days..... -.-'

[TheStillromantic]

My parents could buy me sansa clip + or apple ipod nano. But I don't want to rip em off like apple does to people so I think I'm buying clip + now and later hooking with something apple if it sucks

[anirudh1998able]

nano rocks!!

[TheViperGuy6825]

nano!!!

[pepeelgrillo20009]

that's the reason why i bought a ipod nano 5 Gen . The sansa famil is still a kickass mp3 player ,no more comments.

[MrTrullyjustbrowsing]

The fact that i only need the cable in my pocket, i can transferr music on to it at a friends house and listen to it instantly. I`m not locked to itunes and just one computer with the music library. I also have a 32GB micro SD card with tons of music. I got the 4GB sansa model. In formatted capasity, i have more than 30GB at the same price of a new nano

[darthchris19]

apple fans are shallow :D

[dsamoa]

sansa clip+ 40gb you mad brah's?

[nautbijker]

And that Sansa clip has the baddest design ever :P

[Imanol1909]

Bad design? the buttons and the screen, there aren´t more possibilities in such a small music player. Maybe it could have the picture of a bitten apple, but it would be 100€ more expensive.

[nautbijker]

Just like the Nano more

[nitishmachewad]

They changed shuffle after making it worse i hope they change nano too

[queenbeebee222]

I have a Sansa clip and just love it and for the price, well, you can't beat that!!! I love having FM radio and the voice recorder. I use both!!!

[kolkcdoegf]

@queenbeebee222 Lay off the !'s Jesus.

[TheWinMacLinTechie]

This does not compute... they WEREN'T biased for Apple!

[MegaSam179]

Nano vs MotoACTV

[azn2194]

FLAC files are where it's at, mp3 are shit and worse and when apple uses crappy audio chips for their iPhones/touch/nano/shuffle/pad while brands like cowon and sandisk use wolfstien which is by far the best.

Also mp3 all you need is a freaken music to play no need for big screen lol.

[AppleMane1]

your on crack iPod nanos are the shit



[Mjbabycakes7072]

@AppleMane1 Well with with your screen name what would ANYONE expect you to say? I'[m gettin' me a Sansa for $35 SHIPPED to my door. You can't beat that. I PREFER the mono chrome screen.....if I want to look at pics or vids I'll pick up my phone.

[mattotd]

I like the sansa one cuz its cheap, and more durable, and....... FREE MUSIC!!!!!!

[myshcoolaccount]

i pod nano 6g has a voice recorder too,

[blizzaroxx]

People who bought Apple's product other than for 3D rendering and design are definitely a technology illiteracy and thus needs to remove from existence.

Seriously, these hipsters are to blame for Apple's continuance to ripping off people's money.

[MrWafflesMonster]

So much butthurt XD

[WirelessJunction]

The Sansa Clip looks like something you would buy in 2001

[saralalokisful]

Man Tf Da Sansa Shit Fucking Ugly That Screan Small Af The Nano Is Way Better!

[dakaster]

new nano is a piece of shit. fail apple

[merlinbbcs4rox]

NANO RULEZ

[NinMetro]

I like Both for differnt reasons.....Varity is a good thing! ^_^

[supermats9]

i got a nano ipod 4GB but i am not a apple suporter i think they suck

[SuppleGooch]

@supermats9 Your argument is invalid. You can't disagree with yourself and think that you made any sense.

[293715]

This is bull shit!!! NANO is so much better that a piece of garbage!!!

[zorb350]

This is review is full of bullcrap! I would never buy a sansa piece of shit!

[komaren]

@zorb350 GO FUCK YOURSELF BITCH!

[zorb350]

@komaren you mad?

[zorb350]

@komaren :)

[HolidayHelm]

I have never heard of a Sansa Clip+ until now. APPLE FTW!!!

[iloveturshiq]

fuck you ! nano is way better than this shit

[BlerixB]

@moony700 i dont think anybody tied my hand and kept me in a basement telling me that the ipod is the best.We all happen to have a personal opinion and mine was mentioned earlier, so you keep your Sansa and enjoy it whilst i enjoy my ipod .... god some people :/

[MegaGibby96]

are u fucking kidding me? the nano is WAY better than that peice of crap.

[ShadowCards123]

@MegaGibby96 8 gigs for 150 ????? 4 gigs + micro sd card for like 70 ???

[fagerbag]

@ShadowCards123 actually he said 8gb + micro sd for 70, not 4gb

[VoidOvNihil1134]

fucking annoying limp-dick rice gobbler

[xxPLWHxx]

The sansa clip+ is a great player( i have one), but if that was Ipod Nano Fifth Generation it wouldn't stand a chance.

[theartemisx9]

apple sells excellent products but if they had a lower price then screw everything else!!!!!!!!

[briancollazo46]

Apple is a joke.

[BlerixB]

F-YoU dude , that piece of plastic cannot beat the Nano ,

[moony700]

@BlerixB you're brainwashed

[asanalvi]

Sansa looks stupid no way it sucks stupid ipod is way better

[Videokid06]

even though sansa clip+ wins the round i still love my ipod nano 6G 8GB :) thanks to steve jobs i love it, (oh btw R.I.P steve jobs u will always be remembered :(

[MacbookAir6]

I would never buy the sansa cause ut looks like a shit box

[MrSyrupman007]

there both good

[MrConph123123123]

the ipod nano sucks but ipod touch is awesome

[MrKemal34]

in my country. Tong means a rusted empty barrel

[1992lpforever]

i love Apple products but this nano is a piece of junk.

[QuinnsTheBest]

Shit that Sansa looks 10 damn years old.

[TwiIightSparkle]

@QuinnsTheBest Yet it's easier to control and better than the iPod.

[GofreMcNoodle]

PLEASE tell me they didn't actually do the audio tests with the bundled headphones.

[andrester88]

Who says cnet is kissing apple's ass?

[TwiIightSparkle]

@andrester88 The Sansa won.

[andrester88]

@TwiIightSparkle you got it all wrong, people sometimes say that cnet kiss apple's ass or suck their dick or anything like that. Basically, they say that cnet favor apple products more than any other. But now, Sansa respectfully won against the ipod nano and I have to say again, Cnet is a trusted, review and tech news site that doesn't favor anyone, they're journalists and that's what they do

[kalel1290]

fuck the ipod but apple is a better company no lie

[TwiIightSparkle]

@kalel1290 Microsoft is better.

[kalel1290]

@TwiIightSparkle

not in terms of innovation as well as marketing showmanship

[yoshipatronum]

only good nano was 3 gen  and 5 gen

[flashxm1]

Clip is better functionality without a doubt. For fashion purposes see ipod nano. Wait, you already know this

[MrSykeoJ]

wtf ipod is better

[SupremeGenie]

I have no clue why you idiots are complaining about how the Sansa looks “ugly”. Are you going to be staring at your Sansa all day while you listen to music? No, you’re going to have it in your pocket or clipped to your shirt, if you want a music player for its looks, then your priorities are in the wrong place.

[sixstringzing]

yeah someone finally prooved how infireor the 6th gen ipod nano is to other current mp3 players. shame, hopefully apple can beef up the nano this september. cant wait to see if they win or fail again. (probably gonna faill).

[MrKazism]

Sansa kicked nanos shit covered ass

Ipod sucks

[tontsaize]

Older ipod nano (5g) is much better than this nano (6g)and now its cheaper too when its not newest nano. I recommend that! That sansa is good too but when compared to older nano, nano wins. Can you even watch movies from the new nano? i dont think so.

[bcman222]

the sansa is pretty much like an old i pod nano

[mymarkis666]

I understand not being a sheep but Jesus Christ that Sansa is one ugly piece of shit.

[lasermac83]

122 people are butthurt Apple fans.

[beybladehern]

@lasermac83 Well, apple is way better than some stupid brand.

[beybladehern]

Sansa Clip+ sucks, the iPod Nano is way better & fashionable. People nowadays want fashionable and portable stuffs.

[limozeen64]

@beybladehern

young kids who waste moms and dads money do. If your over 20 and have half a brain you wouldn't spend extra money on a worse product to look "fashionable". If someone was really that worried about being fashionable they would buy high class clothes.

[jlDrakko3546]

@beybladehern You say the Clip+ sucks? You say people want fashionable and portable? I'd rather be different from the crowds of sheep.

[lasermac83]

@beybladehern iPods are for faggots who try to be "cool". Yes, the iPod is better than the Clip+...at sucking! I bet you use some Beats by Dre or Skullcandies too.

[beybladehern]

@lasermac83 Nope, the iPod Nano is way better, it is portable, and has good quality music.

[brlknmz]

@beybladehern If you do not care about paying two-thirds more for something that does less (this is not an opinion but a fact) then go ahead. But ask yourself this question: Do I want a functional device or anything that comes out of Steve Jobs' ass?

[beybladehern]

@brlknmz Your just insulting Steve Jobs, so shut up, I don't hate or like him.

[therahal]

Lol pedometer ! Thumbs up!

[Harpreet3300]

this is bs hahaha 69 dollars for the sansa

[Harpreet3300]

this is bs

[pureownshard]

You want style, a fancy bloated UI, and brand names, go buy a nano and dr dre beats. You want sound quality, expandable memory, drag and drop, and sturdiness, do yourself a favor and pick up the clip+ and some grados.

I run, workout, and bboy with cheapo jvc's and the clip+. I have literally fallen on the clip+ before, and it still works fine. What good is a touchscreen if i have to handle it like a baby. I'm a man. I play rough. So i go with the clip+.

[Tristankp]

Totally disagree, although I do not like the new iPod nano touchscreen

[zeppage4]

My first mp3 player was an old Sandisk we bought years ago on sale. I've owned three iPods since then and the Sandisk still works today after a good number of years, while two of the iPods have gotten glitchy or do not work properly anymore. Hence I am now looking into the Clip +. 

[stogi5959]

i wish they took an ipod nano 5g screen,same curved design,and make it a touchscreen...

[TheAndrey]

114 irrational people



[KDKenshy]

Ipod nano "looks" better but the important, the sound, it´s horrible!!! it´s very bad, sound like the firsts cheaper mp3, bodiless, tinny.

I had a ipod nano 3, and I gave the device at 5 days.

Sansa, Sony (Series A, S, E) and Cowon are best choices

[Arniarn29]

Idiot test ipod nano is large better!

[latinoalex5]

the ipod nano makes a great watch!

[beringin778]

the nano got pwned

[meezyrmcrs4ever]

the sansa belongs to sandisk!!! i have the sansa fuze 1

[RCTheFounder]

go to 0:00 to skip adds

[kinghhhofkings]

I have a sansa clip :D

[UhYoUaReDeAd]

iPod nano 6g TEH BEST.I HAZ IT!!!!

[SuperNumber19]

lol apple only has the fancy touchscreen, and.. that's about it actually. apple laptops are good but compared to the pc market.. it's put to shame.. LIKE REALLY HARD.

[gamefreak964]

i love how retarded people think everything apple makes is somehow the best thing in the entire world

[AgEyal]

sansa clip <3

[Adam6275]

The only drawback to the clip+ that are not mentioned in the video. The FM tuner reception is not as good as the original clip as they compromised this for the Micro SD slot. Secondly the jack is on an angle that can cause one side of your headphone not to work over time which happened to one clip+ I owned but I did buy the $5 warranty so it was replaced. I now use an angle piece that stays in the jack and I have had my clip+ for 8 month now with no problems.

[hasssonchop]

Although the Clip + seems to be a much better mp3 player, there is one key point to be considered and that is durability.

The clip may seem like the superior device, but it is cheap for a reason. I've owned two Clips, both went dead in under three months of use (about 2 hours of listening a day). The clip broke off after dropping it once and it is not re-attachable . In comparison, the Ipod has a single, full metal body and is incredibly resilient. In the long run,the Ipod is the better choice.

[Ratseeker]

I got my Clip+ via a promotional sale at radio shack (I still don't like that store overall) for $39 than $49. So it can be even more cheaper.

[CandianSuplex]

I was SO close to selling my 5G for a 6G.. thank god I didn't.. I'm seeing what a piece of crap the 6G really is

[slipknot4eva97]

Seriously man.all ipods are crap apart from the touch.you spend £120 pounds for 8gb of crappie sound and something that looks like its gonna break. You can get the clip + for £40 8gb!!!!!!expandable memory aswell and brilliant sound. And i mean whats all this about the sansa looks terrible. Wasting ur money to look good with a thing you can hardly see from 2 metres away.grow up nano fans

[MINDFREEK21]

The Sansa looks terrible!

[wybootje99]

thumbs up if you skip whole the vid of watching the result

[darkknight302]

@wybootje99 thumbs up yo ass. stop leaving annoying comments

[letitbetherock95]

the nano is better , the clip look so old

[Rockillswich]

It seems like ipods are always going to have to more cons than pros.

[shadowtsunami]

haha it supporst FLACC and ipod nano doesn't wow

[thomasward00]

I bought my Clip plus 4GB for 35.99 at Best Buy... Apple sells overpriced junk to it's wanabe hipster customers.

[SidCalibur]

@thomasward00 no way! apple sells excellent products, this is possibly the only one that fails, if its price was $70 less it'd probably have a better value, meh, i got mine for free

[ultimatesoccer100]

@thomasward00 no apple started all this so how can anyone think that anything but an iPod is better?

[meeeboyandjohnyboy]

ipod nano is better than the sansa clip.

[rey992101]

COMMON IPOD U GONNA LET THAT CRAPPY SHIT BEET U

[ToXicB3ast15151]

ipod is way better

[shadowloks2292]

iPod nano sucks

[advent326]

True

[KPsaetisfy]

but but its... its an apple product!!! IT HAS TO BE GOOD!!! OIEHGOIHSEOIFJJSDOFHIOGHRWEO

[ibyfishhunter]

I cannot understand why you would want to spend almost three times the price on something that does less, just because of appearance and brand name.

Are you people really that shallow and stubborn?

What do you get? An apple Logo, horrible headphones and Inferior sound quality.

Buy the Clip+ and spend the extra money on decent headphones and you're sorted.

FYI the Clip also comes in a piano Black, which if you take the time to look it up, looks much nicer.

[MrBvur]

@ibyfishhunter you arent apple fanboy dont ya

[MrBvur]

Respond to this video... booo sansa clip they must call it sansa clip -

[TheService95]

@ibyfishhunter BUT! this was a test what ipod player was best? ONLY the ipod itself, maybe the other one just is better with other gagdets?

[insanewarlock666]

Who needs voice recording, EQ settings and that bronze age design?

[MrHjordt]

But look at it! :D'

[spencerdev91]

Worst prizefight ever

[NLeroyP8]

u have to be kidding they are pretty retarded i wouldnt be caught dead with the sansa clip

[dsifail]

@NLeroyP8

Why the hell not? Like the price and the sound quality is ANY better on the Nano???? You must be fucking kidding me

[NLeroyP8]

@dsifail that thing is ugly as hell its outdated has a really really tiny screen it looks like its from the 90s its like comparing a iphone to a old razor flip phone

[dsifail]

@NLeroyP8

You cannot use that type of analogy as it is invalid. If they had an iPhone mini then go and flame on, but obviously the RAZR was made almost exclusively for calling, while an iPhone is a smartphone. They are not even in the same class so NO you cannot compare them like fucking apples. However you can compare the 6th gen nano (don't even go to 5th gen cuz yes that will be better than the Clip+ hands down) to the Clip+ as apples.

[dsifail]

@NLeroyP8

Btw have you seen hell? Yeah that what I thought so contrast like that are very illogical. Also its Apple that outdated; they won't even let you set your own EQ! My MP3 from like 6 years ago even had customizable EQ, like get with the times!

[shadowtsunami]

@NLeroyP8 because you don't know what the term VALUE means, face sansa is better than ipod nano.

[SpyderRios]

ipod nano is just kool enough said. 

[247xReviews]

2:48 Gay!

[ykid1195]

is this some kind of joke? That sansa crap looks like something from the corner store. I would be embaresed to even pull that out in pulic. WAKE UP!!!! ITS AN IPOD!!!!

#ipod beats any music player

[wazwaz25]

@ykid1195

apple products rely to much on appearance

dont get me wrong

i love apples ipods but its not like there unbeatable

[ykid1195]

@wazwaz25 their not just down right unbeatable but their prety tough to beat

[davidsonmad]

@ykid1195 except the zunes, better sound and vid quality, which is half the reason anyone buys an mp3 player

[alak58]

I love macs and ipads and iphones but ipods i hate.the only good ipod is classic.the rest are overpriced,medicore in quality and there are far superior players from sony,creative,.......

[m4tttc]

nano needs to reduce the price to 100 for 16 gb and 80 for 8 gb

[HDLeagueofLegends]

Looks like Apple got beat.

[Wanzness]

SANSA IS THE BEST THERE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ANTHONY25012010]

this 'snasna' (whatever) mp3 player is just a regular mp3 player. apple is art! the nano is so fuckin simple in use...the menu is comfortable etc... I think the ALDI gadget is from 1945 and has a V6 engine running w/ gas lol. Its just like the ms crap...

[ANTHONY25012010]

152 people are Apple-Haterz!

[BassClarinetV]

Lmao. A fight over which mp3 player is better.

[66fedex52]

i still wantt the nano

[4lezandri]

If the Sansa clip to be marketed by Apple as is, would go to the market at a value above $100 usd, and would be an absolute sales success far more than the nano-foo's.

[Uberrima]

People need to stop treating media players like fashion accessories.

Yes, the Sansa Clip+ looks old-fashioned. But you know what? It has all the functionality it needs. Compared to the iPod Nano, it sounds better, has more features, gives you more freedom, is more responsive, controls better, holds more songs, and costs less than half as much. If you don't care about forking out an extra $90 and losing functionality for a more "fashionable" product, then go ahead, but don't insult the Clip.

[IamMeUareYou]

@Uberrima you just cant afford the nano.

[Uberrima]

@IamMeUareYou Except it's worse in every single way except battery life. I can afford a Nano, but that would be a retarded thing to buy, since it's not nearly as good.

[IamMeUareYou]

@Uberrima dont know how you worked that out.,..

[MooseHeadMoosic]

@Uberrima

Wait

what?

Seriously?

Fuck, I gotta get one.

[Mrgamer1231]

@Uberrima it may cost more but it has much cooler features how many music players can pause radio and it has a bunch of different features, it really just depends on choice

[ProManUnitedFan]

Can someone answer this question: Why would you need a fitness pedometer on an MP3 player? I am dying to know. No other MP3 players have pedometers.

[Ratseeker]

@ProManUnitedFan The Clips on these two mp3 models are meant for runners and cardio exercise. Though the Clip+ sounds good enough to trump many many other bigger mp3 players out there; its definitely isn't just a cheap device to be expendable (if it breaks during exercise).

[789xray]

sansa's headset must be crappy, and it does'nt really feel compact, and who cares about micro sd slot, you can just buy a 16gb model

[Uberrima]

@789xray Sansa's stock earphones are better than Apple's. Either way, nobody uses stock earbuds. You're supposed to buy new ones, and by the way, when you actually have decent headphones/earphones, the Nano has garbage sound quality compared to the Sansa.

Also, lol @ 16gb model. Sansa Clip+ with a MicroSD can reach 40GB. That costs about $100, by the way, while you'll be paying $180 for the 16GB Nano.

iPod Nano sucks, end of story.

[shadowtsunami]

@789xray fail a lot of people care about an SD/Micro sd slot. even on some higher end one's they have a sd slot, it is all about memory expansion

[Ratseeker]

@789xray with cheaper memory out there. You can just quickly switch cards to change your playlist on the go. Rather than wait a near hour to erase-then-upload-new-stuff with an available computer.

[Anzac97]

yes the nano looks better (thats the way apple makes money out of people)

but if you rather better life time and funtionalitys and for a fraction of the prices the Sansa Clip is the way to go

[IsaacQuinnHorton]

This sounds completely ridiculous.

You might as well watch a Sansa comercial.

I own the new nano, and it's great.

I've had a Sansa

it's complete crap.

[YouCantClickMyName]

@IsaacQuinnHorton wow, you've got some good points to support what you're saying, huh? like, nano's better, and, sansa sucks. tell us WHY?

[ProManUnitedFan]

Touchscreens just don't work on very small devices like that iPod

[Habbloxian]

@Airwaves317 Apple has none of that on their new iPd nano. Get the iPod touch.

Also: OHAI GAIZ IM LIEK AIRWAVES317 AND I WILL FUCK ANYTHING FROM APPLE EVEN THE DANGEROUS LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERIES IN TEH IPHONE PHOAR!

[Habbloxian]

@Airwaves317 What the fuck, you moron. If you want touch, get an iPod touch.
