SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 8GB MP3 Player with Radio and Expandable MicroSD/SDHC Slot – Black
This little mp3 player is by far the best i’ve owned. It is the size of a matchbox (a small one.. not those massive matches for lighting cookers). It has the most simple menu and readable display which in itself is impressive in a player this small…. however the most amazing thing is that through the insertion of a micro sd card this becomes a 32Gb player in the size of a matchbox…seriously. Surely this is wrong? 32Gb is bigger than that isn’t it?…apparently not. In addition, like the old sansa clip it sounds absolutely superb (slightly better,slightly less harsh.. really picking holes in the old one, there which i own, i feel guilty).. as always an earphone upgrade is a good idea but the ones provided with this player are no worse than those given with ipods and sonys. I use seinheisers which are great. I’m serious, buy one and, if you have no need for video, this is better than anything out there regardless of the price.. which is also daft. I think Sandisk are mad..Wonderful thing this.

After a long time looking at reviews I decided to go for the Sansa clip+ 8 GB and have not been disappointed. I wanted a player for music (MP3 and WMA) and podcasts, and this does all that I need it to do.
Playing – As other have said, it is very small, but mine has 8 GB of internal and I also got an 8 GB micro SD card. The player allows you to play stuff from either internal or external memory or will show it all together in 1 seamless list – which is quite good. I have nearly filed the MP3 and all the play options seem to work really well. You can play all, by artist, podcast, album, genre and recently added – so even though there can be quite a lot of stuff you can usually easily find that new album or podcast quickly. This player will allow you to turn off through a podcast and return to the same point – which is useful for long recordings.
Sound – I got a pair of Phillips earphones and the sound is pretty good. There is an EQ and the volume is loud enough for me
Usability – I find this quite good and can usually get to where I want to go quickly. The instructions are minimal but you can get a full set on line. But you should be able to work without them. I think this is very easy to use. The screen is simple but tells you all you need. If you have a play around there are interesting features, like if you press the centre button the screen changes to EQ. Press again it tell you the next song. Also, while playing a song, if you press down you can get access to load of features, such as the music list, sound features or track information
Power – this seems good so far. I have used for many hours and not had any problems
The MP3 has an FM radio which works ok. You can record what you are listening to.
All in all i think this is a very good MP3 and a fantastic price

This little mp3 player is so small and simple to use. It’s a great alternative to the more expensive brands. The display is very basic and I guess that’s where the cost has been cut. If you’re not after an mp3 that can also take pictures, videos, etc and you just want a portable music store then this is well worth it.

I have one, my Wife has one and now my Daughter has one. They are great. What we like about them is that they can clip anywhere. Even during summer, when I dont wear a jacket and my shirts dont have a pocket, i still find somewhere to clip it. The sound all depends on what ear piece you use, but the sound level is certainly loud enough. The menu is very intuitive. The radio is great. Unlike portable DAB radios, if the frequency isnt too strong you are not left with out sound. I had trouble with obtaining radio frequencies when I first got it, but after i downloaded the up dated software I havent had a problem. Hope this helps.

I bought one of these for myself and liked it so much that I bought one for my wife too. The first thing that strikes you is how small the player actually is, being no bigger than a matchbox! The sound quality is much better than I ever imagined and easily equals that of my friend’s Ipod nano which has the same size memory and doesn’t even have a radio! Oh how I enjoyed the look of envy on his face especially when I showed him how I can double the memory size with another micro sd card….
The supplied headphones are ok but I prefer the Sennheiser eco ear buds for comfort, so bought another pair for my use and gave the old pair to the wife. It has a simple and intuitive user interface and there have been no problems syching it with my pc’s music collection. It works flawlessly and is my best buy of 2009.
PS I have found that my Motorola phone charger, charges this perfectly so saves having to do it via the PC USB!
