Sandisk Sansa Clip + MP3 player 2GB (FM tuner, microSD Slot) (Electronics)

Customer Review

The most important innovation in Sansa Clip +, compared to the normal "clip", is probably clear the card slot for microSD cards. A limitation of the possible card size I could not refer to the manual, so you can now expand the tiny thus almost unlimited, and also carry very large music collections with them permanently. Actually, it's me anyway incomprehensible why Sandisk has just missed this feature in the previous generation, finally Sandisk is the inventor and world's largest manufacturer of SD card. Understand a Group strategists ...;)

Also on the optics was filed something, most evident in the recently redeveloped pad. Whether a new design now like better is a matter of taste, but I find it quite successful. A little less playful, dignified acting, and not so obvious proximity to iPod searching. ;) However, one thing bothers me: The glossy piano finish of the front shell. On product photos and fresh out of the box which certainly looks very classy, ​​but in no time staring the only way of smears and fingerprints so that übriggbleibt nothing of the elegance. I'd really want from here Sandisk something more "courage to ugliness", and simple to manufacture, the front shell of the same roughened hard plastic as have the back cover and the directional pad already. The view that is with me even now like fresh from the shop. Well, there must probably still a sleeve here, then you have the same no longer the problem. Seems not yet have to be available at the moment, but that will probably change soon.

I could first not really decide between the Clip + and its bigger brother, the Sansa Fuze, am now but glad that I took the clip +. The video function of Fuze and other bells and whistles do I need not, I just wanted only a good mp3 player. What attracted me to the Fuze only had the opportunity to present the album cover when MP3 listening, and second, I thought that perhaps the larger display enables easier navigation through the files.

As for the cover, I would find that although still beautiful, but on the other hand are unfortunately represented the Fuze only half Stamp Great, and how often looks when walking around already on display's ...

When navigating to my concerns about the Clip + have completely dissipated. I think the 4-line display is completely sufficient to quickly and easily navigate through the albums and songs. The player sorts the songs cleanly divided by artist, album and track number, and the control concept goes one after a short familiarization period very easily by hand. Of course, you should make sure that all the songs are clean tagged with ID3, this way, I can highly recommend the freeware "Media Monkey". I have no memory card, but the manual says makes the player also no difference in whether the songs are now stored in the internal memory or on the card. They are automatically combined to form a combined database, so that a complicated jump around omitted, as is the case unfortunately with many other players. Adding songs to an individual play list is possible.

The quality of the display has surprised me very positively. It works, though it is so tiny and only two-color (top line Yellow, Cyan bottom three), very high. It's sharp and vivid, and can be read properly both in the dark even in bright sunlight.

The supplied headphones can I find quite useful, although they of course can not compete 20 EUR headphones. I have a comparison here are the Sennheiser MX500. My feeling is the Sansa handset sound at heights considerably duller, less brilliant, but they have a little more bass and a little louder. Where the bass with almost all ear-phones in principle is of course pretty puny. Who it emphasis should rather look for in-ear headphones, which then often but again noted weaknesses in the heights ...;)

As for the actual sound quality of the player, I have no reason to complain. I'm not an audio expert, but after my personal feeling he sounds very good. At first I was a bit disappointed about the low volume, but then I quickly found out that you can still choose between "agents" and "sound" in the system settings. Is set to "sound" he gets going quite substantially. While not so that a fly's ears, but that may well no players because that is limited by law.

The radio function was to me now is not that important, all I can say is that it works. The stations are found, and reproduced in an acceptable quality.

In conclusion I can say that the Clip + is exactly what I was looking for: A small handy mp3 player, with good sound quality, easy navigation, practical clip-fastening, and indefinitely expandable with memory cards.
