 Disposable? July 29, 2010
Ryan Doyle
Overall a good player, but after a year and a half of use the battery has gone flat. Like any rechargeable battery it has reached the end of its life. However, with no supported way of replacing the battery this $50+ device is a throw-away. I don't like that very much at all.
 Sansa clip July 27, 2010
Janiree (Florida,Miami)
I orderd tha sansa clip on the 21 of July and I recieved the order on Sunday. I opened the box and the mp3 was brand new. No scratches or anything. It has great sound easy to carry and good battery life. I saved good money for something I wanted and I would do it again. This site ie reliable and I cant wait to buy more stuff. Thank You.

BIG Bang for the Buck! June 15, 2010

Initial Review for the Sansa 4GB Clip. [factory refurbished]
I recently purchased and received two of these units for $58 total including shipping. If you are purchasing new at nearly $50 each I would strongly recommend a Sony Walkman [MP3] player. Two years ago I bought a 4GB for $55 and myself an 8GB for around $85. BUT these refurb. units Sansa is offering are OUTSTANDING! First impressions: Small generic brown box, no special instructions, came with a "new" looking player in silver, mini-usb [motorolla phone/wall charger also works], new earbuds. I elected to order the silicone slip-ons for about $2.50 additional for each. They both came about half charged and took about an hour to top-off to full. I plugged on into desktop that has my 30GB music library and it booted the sync-screen up in a short moment. The Sansa interface is quick and easy to use with Win-Media [which I prefer, not fond of itunes/ipods]. Sync prep is as simple as drop-drag and sync. Sync is SUPER fast for a price-point product like this, almost as fast as my Sony unit[s]. I was able to load both nearly to capacity about 3.85GB in a short 15 minutes.
Originally purchased one as a gift [retirement] for my 61 y/o dad-in-law [will be his first MP3], but after going to youtube I took the chance I buying two. One as a gift and the other for myself to use in those instances where I don't want to bring an expensive Sony, like the jobsite [contractor], exposed to weather, backpack camping, fishing, boating, beach, gym, etc. Or when I go to evening class at the community college.
Bottom line: If you can find one refurb for $20-something get it, it would be a great unit as a back-up/extra unit or for a youngster you don't want to spend a ton of cash on [ipod?]. Depending on your music quality taste you may want to use a better set of earbuds. Sansa's are ok but both my Jlab's and Sony earbuds sounded better. Most people have extra earbuds lying around their house anyways. I will post updates as Dad and I continue to use this seemingly fine product.
 Headphone jack doesn't fit properly May 27, 2010

I was very hopeful about the Sansa Clip: it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, features-wise. I'm very disappointed, therefore, that the workmanship is such poor quality. The headphone jack's contacts must have been improperly installed, because they're misaligned. Out of the box, if I plug the headphones in all the way, there's no sound. The headphones have to be balanced in the middle, very precariously, in order to get sound. This results in the music skipping as the headphones get knocked out of place by motion. On my first player, I couldn't even walk with it without the music skipping worse than my beat-up middle school knock-off Walkman. I got in touch with Sansa customer support and they quickly arranged an RMA and sent me a replacement unit. The second one fits a little more snugly, but still not fully in. It's ok for walking, but my main intended use for the player was in my car. That's impossible - even the "better" unit gets the jack dislodged with every little bump or pothole. It's completely useless in a car. Looking back through some of the comments I see I'm not the only one to have this problem either.
My other complaint is with the playlists - one of the main reasons I chose the Sansa over, say, a Shuffle, was the ability to create playlists. My problem is that when I create a playlist and sync it to the player, the playlist shows up but shows as being empty (despite the music being on the player). And this is using Rhapsody, the music player Sansa partners with.
Overall, a very disappointing purchase: I can't use my Sansa Clip for the main purposes I intended.
