  • nice player and btw - Dustin Hoffman's SON ?????

  • Just upgraded to the Sansa+, Best thing about both of them is that you can record radio... I've also got a spare 8g memory card to increase my storage from the 4 i get to 12. This is a must buy for anyone who likes to listen to music. And also very cheap on Ebay

  • Great reviewing man!

  • Can you tell me please what headphones to this player i have to buy? i have ath sj55 it will be ok?? i like loud music.

  • heard something about battery problem... and not replacable once battery breaks.

  • tnx for precise and valuable info, Nick!

  • I actually prefer the ability to treat my mp3 player as a simple storage device and drag & drop onto it at will without requiring another program, like iTunes. The requirement to use iTunes for iPod products is just a proprietary way of getting you to buy songs through iTunes.

  • if you rockbox the clip+ it will soud more natural and have better soundstaging than most cowon products. Now i am saying it sounds more natural and not "better" because to alot of people will sound a tad on the boring side. i have the sansa clip+ and a cowon j3 and the cowon is a bit more fun and colored to my ears. also a nice touch for the cowon is is thas a sh*tload of eq settings so you can tweak the sound to your liking. though at the price point the sansa is a great buy to get in to hifi.

  • Decent sound quality for a budget FLAC player (I use it with Koss Portapro headphones).

    It's far more portable than my Sony D-NF430 CD Walkman, but the sound quality of my Walkman is noticeably better.

  • The sansa sucks. I have a sansa clip, and it doesn't even synch all my songs. I had to drag and drop EVERY single one of my 350 songs into EVERY single artist I have, and I had to spend TWO HOURS synching every single folder. And guess what? Not even HALF of my songs went onto the clip. Not only that, but when it first came on, it came with shitty music.

    Don't buy this product. It's a piece of shit.

  • @3cheers4Ger you're an idiot for saying that. All you have to do is install 3rd party synching software to sync you media between PC and MP3.

    Regarding your problem that not even HALF of your music went onto the media player, you just had to buy a new memory card to expand the memory.

    Also, why didn't you just use your mouse to highlight all the music you want to copy, then Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V to copy and paste everything?

    I'm surprised you didn't remove that comment.

  • @CaptainHalodude I don't know anything about installing software, and it's too much of a pain. I'd prefer to just easily synch all 300 of my songs onto my iPod from iTunes, thank you very much. It's too much trouble to download software, buy a memory card when I can just synch from iTunes, which does it right away. Unlike Rhapsody, which took almost 2 hours to synch. Piece of shit. Not everyone gets Sansa. I know several people that hate Sansa products.

  • @3cheers4Ger basically you cant be arsed. Lazy bastard.

  • @CaptainHalodude

    LOLOLOL so basically that guy is a dumbass. he probably doesnt even understand the concept of "drag and drop" lol. using sansa without any software is more simple and painless than crappy itunes and all their annoying ads. sansa reigns supreme in my book followed by the sony walkman !!

  • with sandisk no software needed cant say the same about apple

  • im an ipod collector for the last 5 years and have had well over 20, frankly I have still had sandisks and love them too, i use my ipod touch for everything but for music alone Id prefer one of these but damn the clip is almost too small

  • just bought the 4gb one for $20 even though i already have a android phone and walkman. i don't want to waste my phone battery for music and the walkman doesn't do podcasts well

  • I don't believe in iPods. All I care about is music. :P

  • BETTER THAN IPOD SHUFFLE AND NANO

  • You can get this one now for $30 at best buy (4gb) , the refurbished version though.

  • ipod is so shit even the touch try to use it ones completelty spoiled my run , and the shuffle has no screen ,,a nd apple sound quality is really bad for the price , imean philips is better gonna try sandisk though

  • funny, FactoryDirect near me is selling the 4gb for $30CDN

  • clip + radiohead = pure awesomeness

  • STOP BUYING APPLE IPODS AND IPHONES! Just buy one of these and a not a iphone do not give anything to apple ok

  • @plushgamer15 why?

  • FLAC

  • this video is shit! he doesn't even show how to use it

  • What kind of fucking review is this? He just says the price and the capacity, I already knew that shit.

  • i have a purple one i love thses things i hate ipod snow

  • this is better then a ipod you know why its cheap it plays music it has a screen this it gods music player

  • @ferresh THANKS

  • i'm not computer saavy, can someone please tell me how i can put music on this thing. it wants to sync to my widows media player but I don't even use the Media Player so I'm not used to navigating within that program. My PhillipsGoGearMix was like a jump drive that I just had to plug into USB port, click on MyMusic and send the file to the E:Drive -there is no E:Drive w/ the Sansa so I'm lost. The directions don't help. Can anyone simplify it for me please?

  • thank you man

  • I bought the original Sansa clip 3 years ago and still use it. It is great. I only change the ear piece to Sony. I bought my daughter the newer model of the Sansa clip and she likes it. For the price it is worth it. I use for walking. I suggest buying a rubber like covers to protect when you accidentally drop it. 

  • Hmm, what would I rather have? A piece of plastic that has no screen and fucking retarded sound quality and only 2gb for 50 bucks, or a full featured audio player with high quality sound and a beautiful interface for 8 gb for only 70 bucks, shitty sansa

  • Although compatible with Win XP, it only works with the latest Win Media Player v 10 or 11 updates in default mode. The device does *not* appear as a new drive in Win XP sp2 even with Win Media Player installed.

  • @wistolp Oh ok I put a different place when I first got it just to mess around, didn't know it would affect it, thanks bro.

  • Does anyone else feel that the volume doesn't go high enough for it? I still like mine though everything else is great.

  • i have a burning desire to purchase one of these. i've heard the sound quality is amazing especially for a non-ipod.

  • @nyg1781 It's even better than the iPod. The sound is incredibly rich compared to the tinny sound that may come with many iPods.

  • this little buddy is damn cheap isn't it? wanna have it

  • dumbasses in school buying apple ipods and everyone i see SUUCKKSS. and theres always something wrong with it -_- sure they are awsome to look at and touch untill u smash your finger through the screen.

  • because they like to say sansa

  • ppl only buy iPod cause they have money to waste on crap.

  • Comment removed

  • The same freaking add everu time .. youtube cNCEL THE freaking adds !

  • another thing I did like about the Sansa Clip+ is that music was amazingly simple to sync. Just go the mp3 file, right click and hit "send to" Sansa Clip. Couldn't be easier. Also easier to delete songs. I haven't figured out how to delete songs from my Shuffle in iTunes.

    Another thing, the Sansa can sync music whether you're online or not. You must be online to sync to an Ipod.

  • how do you download music with mp3 player

  • I'm really only interested in this player because i hate using my itouch as a music player(app store is the only major appeal of the itouch) and creative stopped making nifty little players like this.

  • And of course not one comment on the SOUND QUALITY.. how's the bass? Weak like the ipods? Does it get distorted when you turn it up?

  • @polaris911 I heard the equalizer is to be left alone, as it screws up the sound badly.

  • @polaris911 the sound quality is great, especially at high volume. My chief problem with the Sansa Clip is that they malfunction so easily. If it's jarred in anyway, it stops working. Very suspectible to use in the rain, and the port for the headphones gets loose rendering it totally unusable.

  • why is there a random tape?

  • The memory card slot is WHAT made me want the Sansa! And of course the price

  • i love my sansa

  • if i want a shuffle i got a Sansa Clip, But the most large and useful Players Apple ever made is the IPOD Classic 160GB cuz you can stock so much Media Music Pics and Movies there

    and the Touch that i have The IPOD Touch 64GB is like a Mini Computer and also have alot of Memory ( i know there are 8,16 GB ITouchs but i talk about what i have) But if you want an IPOD Nano or a Shuffle, Get the MicroSD Sansa, Shuffle and if your looking for the most High quality Bitrate EQ Sound Get a COWON IAUDIO

  • i just bought this. its awsome. ive been having whole lot of problems with ipod, personally to me its shit but this sansa is great and just more originall. its been helpfull during my bike rides and running too.

  • sansa plus vs apple shuffle ((((sansa plus hands down!!))))

  • @rapacki ....today i went out for 4 mile run...and clipped it on my neck too...but in my case, i heard this fizzz sound in my earbuds.....my sansa died.....i think the salt from sweat fried the electronics.....Sucks....

  • i did just that...take it out for a RUN......was out running and on my 4th mile i heard this fizzzz sound in my earplugs.....i had just fully charged it. Could only figure that the Sansa was all sweaty since it was clipped up to my neck. The salt from my sweat probably zapped the electronics.....Sucks!!!!!!

  • What about batteries?

    im about to buy either an ipod or mp player but i really hate having to buy batteries every couple of days?

  • @keiranharrysmith1 No modern DAPs use standard alkaline batteries anymore. Internal Li-Po is the name of the game now.

  • @keiranharrysmith1 You're a Troglodyte.

  • @keiranharrysmith1 its chargable, no batteries

    also, its 20+ battery life

  • he failed to mention the superior sound quality...

  • mi mp3 sansa is not reconized by any pc, it just charge the battery when I connect to the computer, do you have any solution of this?? because i have tried everything!! including the sansa web supporting , but nothing happens! helpme

  • @jjstalink had the same problem with my father's sansa clip that he found in the trash, I fixed it though. Send me a message of what's wrong.

  • im pretty sure he said solid, not salad..atleast meant solid

  • im charging my red one rite now. :D

  • At 1:36, Did he just say salad?

  • @glidingclyde lol he did, how did you catch that

  • @glidingclyde

    no he said : salid

  • @glidingclyde I think he said solid, even though the plastic looks a bit cheap. ;)

  • its better than the new shuffle

  • I have the original one and I'm in love. The sound quality is AWESOME, I take it when I run late at night or when I sleep. Since it was a bargain I don't suffer so much if it falls from the bed or if I roll over it. The only thing I don't like is it's incompatibility with AAC.

  • What really make this great is 2 things to me.

    1- The drag and play thing where u do not need to rip the file and compromise its quality and waste ur time with it.

    2- It plays the loose less Flac files which is way better quality wise than the MP3 format.

  • anything but iCRAP

  • Ipod is for FAGGOTS!

  • @bluesgurugod

    Lol, you're mad cause you can't afford one.

  • YOU LOOK JUST LIKE OTACON FROM METAL GEAR SOLID!!! :D

  • @TokyozzFinest I thought the same way

  • Can somebody tell me if I take my 27 playlists off my windows media player and sync them, will they all show up under diffrent playlists, b/c that's my hope.(My genre folders is mixed up) Since it's may 2010, will it support the new 32gb cards, or just the 16gb cards? What does the manual say about it?Thanks

  • @loganachilles1982

    It'll do your playlists, just sync those playlists with WMP. And it does take 32GB cards. It states 16GB most likely because Sandisk didn't come out with their own 32GB cards by then (they make microSD cards too)

  • @themangodess Do you know how to sync playlists to micro sdhc card using wmp? I heard that once you select a playlist song from sdhc card you cant move backward in list but must go forward only. Why?

  • @loganachilles1982 Ignore first queston of my comment since I found out I found out someone can synce playlist to micro card using wmp. sorry

  • @battle

    lmao no one said there was a law against buying stuff for fashion.. it's just stupid.

    80 dollar 4 gb shuffle turns into a paper clip if you lose the proprietary earbuds.

    whereas i just ordered an 8 gb clip+, JVC HAFX66 in-ear headphones, and a 16 gb microsd card for $110, counting shipping+tax.

    If I had gone to the store instead of shopping online, i'd have a rig with literally 6 times the memory, a screen, and better sound quality from the buds and the player for just $15 more.

  • This is the coolest smallest lightweight mp3 player !!!! buy it now you noobies,

    dont buy apple because it is well-known throughout the universe.:

  • He neglects to mention all the supported audio formats (mp3, wav, ogg vorbis, flac, audible) which is a HUGE selling point.

  • what happens when the battery runs out? will the customers be provided with new devices (like apple does - of course not for free...)? i myself will hack the device - but that for sure isn´t what most of the other users will do.

  • it can´t run out ´cuz it´s rechargeable...

  • this should be one of the best sounding mp3 players on the market...

  • And it is.

  • RADIOHEAD

  • i still think this thing is a little thick.

    why cant apple just fit the fawking 3 control buttons on the shuffle? dont they make enough money? do they really need to make money on those earbuds?

  • Radiohead!!!

  • he has the best voice ever

    which is monochrome and quite bright

  • @MrMozeley

    Seems like a very average voice to me.

  • Hey, that's a cool Adidas jacket. What model and where can I buy one? Is this worth buying over the old Clip? Thanks.

  • im gona get one !!!!

  • LOL! I didn't even notice the clip until he reached for it on the table.

  • Cool music?

  • SDSC+ is my soulmate - functional things for functional people. I really don´t want to get diverted by the device itself. Aesthetics took a step forwards since they´re pointing in the direction of BAUHAUS - and move away from

    EXPRESSIONISM.

  • for those who prefer functionality over fashion! sansa clip is awesome!

  • I don't know if you're referring to the Shuffle as being fashionable, but if so, is it really fashionable, or is it just Apple's douche box marketing department that are making people think having an iPod makes you look cooler? The new shuffle looks like a flash drive. It's like saying that a flash drive looks incredibly sexy and that you look cooler if you have one clipped to your pocket.

  • I was talking about the sansa clip.

    like the guy in mentioned. "for those who value function over fashion"

    i totally agree with that because besides having a lot of features, the sansa clip is a lot sexier and cheaper than an iPod shuffle that doesn't even have buttons.

  • I think so, too. And at the end of the day, I just want a player that plays music and affords some convenience in the form of a display and some buttons.

  • no you can't, it's a monochrome screen

  • who sings d demo song on dat.. angel

  • wow!!!! try to explain yourself a little more...

    may be you are referring to the song that comes included in the sansa that is called angel. if so. it is by the jones gang - angel

  • Didn't realise y he was wearin a tracksuit till the end lol

  • sansa clip is fucking awesome.

  • I agree, it doesn't look as good as the original Clip. It's still a brilliant little thing though.

    Great to see it next to a cassette tape. :) I still have a Sony Walkman (the original Walkman that is), still works fine.

  • its a mini DV tape.some video cam still uses it.

  • People buy the iPod just 'cause it's apple, and "fashionable."

    What a bunch of suckers.

  • @V1RU5ex3 I always despised the iSheep.

  • @V1RU5ex3

    oh its so terrible if people buy stuff because its fashionable! they should make a law against it, right?

  • @battiebomba different strokes for different folks.

    anyways, I want one of these mp3 players! so simple yet packs a lot of features!

    i wonder how's the battery life

  • @V1RU5ex3

    Exactly. The iPad is absolute shit, especially for developers. Apple's fanbase consists of tools, and these people will eventually kill the PC just by being ignorant to the major restrictions on the iPad.. they're going to encourage other companies to make tablets of their own.

  • @V1RU5ex3 yer i nearly bought an ipod classic then i saw this..... i luv the ipod but this is also just as good but cheaper

  • @V1RU5ex3 actually...people buy the shuffle cause they think it has "apps" lol

  • @V1RU5ex3 totally agree!

  • @V1RU5ex3

    Let people choose, what they want

    It's actually just a device to hear music with.

    Let us don't argue about it :-)

  • @V1RU5ex3

    I get really tired of people bagging Ipod buyers like we're all stupid drones. I have had a number of players, creative, zune, and now an Ipod Touch 64g.

    Why?

    Because I use it for a bunch of stuff. Movies, music, games (inc ScummVM), apps, wifi internet, remote PC (VNC).

    If you're after just audio and video, get a Cowon. But I wasn't. I wanted to use all those other things, and can.

    Now reply calling me a sheep, you know you want to.

  • @bersaba

    What would make you a sheep is if you got a shuffle over the Sansa Clip and paid more for it, meanwhile, you get no radio tuner, screen, or slot radio.

  • @V1RU5ex3 I kind of regret asking for an iPod Classic last Christmas. It's generally quite polished, but it does have a few bugs, it's really expensive (the connector on mine broke - £90 repair.), and it's annoying to use on linux.

  • @V1RU5ex3 apple is just a bunch of thieves

  • @V1RU5ex3 You speak the truth

  • if any one noes how to download music on this please message me back

  • I got one of these about a week or so ago. It's excellent but the only thing I don't like about it is the short battery life!

  • nope

  • are you serious?

  • Damn shouldve gotten one of these instead of my Cowon D2+?

    All i wanted was good sound quality in a small package & flac support.

  • You better off with the Cowon D2+ bro....

  • BYe BYe Apple!!! LMAO Go Sandisk! Where can i buy one now.

  • When they come out with the 32gb microSD card, the clip+ will support that as well.. Just thought you'd want to know that. BTW am i the only one who STILL can't find these at any retailers after supposedly having been out for 2 days already?

  • Do you know when the 32gb microSD card will be in the shops? It was supposed to be available by now

  • Sorry I have no clue.. All I know is that its gonna happen and that its coming eventually. Idunno judging by the price difference between the 8gb card and the 16 gig one, the 32 gig price will probably be insane. I'll probably eventually get a 16 gig when needed unless they decide to reduce the price contrast between memory.

  • Thank you for your time, But you're talking out of your arse.

  • Not really. If you look at the prices now, normally we're talking around fifty-five dollars for one.. That is more than twice the price of an 8gb card. An 8 gig card which is usually around 20 bucks, is only a few dollars more than a 2 or 1 gig card.. The price per gig actually goes up a little when the card goes from 8 to 16 gigs. If the pattern continues, as I said before, it may not pay to buy the 32 gig card as the price may be well over 100 bucks.

  • Take that Apple >:|
